It’s all about a lifestyle change for the two downsizing parties from Sydney’s east moving into the award-winning complex.
Two apartments worth a combined $40 million sold in one day to two downsizing parties from Sydney’s eastern suburbs. Sold stickers went up on two listings at Billyard Avenue development in Elizabeth Bay – both four-bedroom, four-bathroom, house-sized units, on September 25.
One sold for $20.5 million and the other for $19.5 million, both to retirees. Corporate retirees have splashed big sums to live in a new development in Elizabeth Bay as they seek a lifestyle change. Jason Boon and Geoff Cox of Richardson & Wrench Elizabeth Bay and Potts Point sold both residences but could not divulge the buyers’ identities when contacted by this masthead.
However, Boon did reveal they were corporate downsizers after a lifestyle change. One four-bedroom unit sold for $20.5 million, while the other sold for $19.5 million on the same day. Maher is returning to the neighbourhood from the eastern suburbs, after Boon and Cox sold his Potts Point residence for $10 million in 2022. Maher also sold his Whale Beach house for $7 million in May this year.
Boon said demand for Elizabeth Bay was not driven by price point, as it has caught up to suburbs in Sydney’s east, but was down to its eclectic atmosphere, which reminded him of New York’s SoHo, and its proximity to hospitals, the beach and city. The buyers will be neighbours with a bevy of corporate types who have bought into the complex including yachtie and vice president of the Australian Olympic CommitteeDeveloped by North East Corp and P3-Living and designed by SJB architects, the apartments reinterpret art deco design with their curved surfaces, and offer a modern palette with honed marble, fluted stone, patterned tiling, parquetry floors, statement lighting and expansive glass.
