Barry and Cate lived with the Astor, now the penthouse is for sale – realestate.com.au

An apartment once owned by Barry Humphries and later Cate Blanchett sold in the Astor for around $ 12 million in 2020, now the penthouse is for sale. And it’s cheaper.

It is understood that the guide for 121/123-125 Macquarie ST in the CBD $ 7,775,000 to $ 8.5 million is for an auction of October 18, but sales agents William Manning and Kelly Samuels are shy to reveal the owner.

Because it is a famous Art Deco Treasured Company Building from 1923, real estate records are not submitted to the Land Titles Office and the well -to -do residents keep themselves to themselves.

But as soon as the source trusted, the seller is multi-millionaire Geoff Bainbridge, co-founder of Burger Giant Grill’d. He is supposed to have paid around $ 6.5 million four years ago.

In the much -praised designer David Flack from Flack Studio, improvements included the kitchen of the chef, with cocktail bar.

The penthouse, which is located in the rated northeastern corner of the top floor and has the view of Opera House and Haven, is actually smaller than the $ 12 million apartment with two levels that are further owned in the building.

That apartment had once been three separate flats.

The deceased comedian Barry Humphries owned one, then bought it on a different floor and combined them illegally.

The often tolerance story is that the first the other residents knew that he invited them to a party and he sucked the new circular staircase.

When the businessman Mark Bouris bought it in 2005, he bought a neighboring apartment and created the huge residence of 400 m², and Blanchett and Upton bought it for $ 8 million in 2015.

Other famous inhabitants of the building are Lady Mary Fairfax and the celebrated artist Ruby Rich include.
