Trophy home collector Bruce McWilliam just can’t let a good piece of Point Piper waterfront pass him by.
Take the four-bedroom apartment on Wolseley Road that was, until recently, owned by Susan Ghaemi and Macquarie University’s professor of management Masud Behnia.
Set in a block of three on the waterfront with a pool and slipway on a lease, it is a neighbour to the mansion of Aussie John Symond, and just down the road from the beachfront residence that McWilliam calls home.
Di Jones’ Jane Schumann wouldn’t reveal the sale price, but listed with initial $8.4 million hopes before the guide was revised to $7.5 million before it sold to the Seven commercial director.
Settlement will reveal if it matched the $7.5 million paid for the smaller apartment above it that was recently bought by meat wholesaler Charles Handler and his wife, retired Double Bay fashion retailer Claire Handler.
McWilliam has a solid history with Point Piper investments.
In 2016 he bought a Best Western-style house on Wolseley Road for $4.55 million to be converted into a duplex set next door to another investment he bought in early 2012 for $3.47 million.
In 2013 he sold his waterfront home, known as the Bang and Olufsen house, for $33.5 million to Jerry Qiu Yafu, the owner of Chinese textile company called Shandong Ruyi Science and Technology.
He then bought a Wentworth Street house for $13.65 million and after renovating it sold it two years later for $16.5 million and took up residence in the Edwardian waterfront mansion a few doors away from his bestie, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull that he bought in 2014 for $29.5 million.
