All that seems to stand in the way of Jakob’s grand plans for the nearly 2,500 square feet is the matter of an easement intersecting two of the properties offering waterfront access to Wolseley Road, home of Macquarie’s parent company Nick O’Kane. Given that O’Kane paid $ 40 million for his design digs just last year, that easement won’t come cheap.

Liberal Senator Andrew Bragg appears to be trading his life at one end of Paddington for another, purchasing a four-bedroom Victorian terrace for $ 3.15 million.

Packer’s consultant says “sell”
Hamish Douglass, founder and former star recruiter of fund manager Magellan, is continuing his sale of family properties, listing his weekend in Whale Beach with a $ 14 million guide.
The Alex Popov-designed residence known as The Hutt in Whale Beach is listed for $ 14 million.

Local values were yet to skyrocket in the post-pandemic boom at the time, but at least the sale ended what had been a two-year sales campaign. LJ Hooker’s David Edwards and BJ Edwards are no doubt planning a shorter campaign this time around.
Douglass’s sales frenzy comes just months after he made headlines with his resignation from Magellan to begin advising James Packer on how to best invest his $ 3.3 billion from the sale of Crown Resorts.
