The daughters of the Lewis construction family, Marnie Lewis-Millar and Shay Lewis-Thorp, have sold their 14th-floor penthouse in Sydney’s famous toaster building ahead of next week’s scheduled auction.
Sotheby’s agent James McCowan and principal Michael Pallier had a $12m guide for the 221 sqm apartment at 1401/61 Macquarie Street and sources said it had sold well in excess of that on Friday night.
The penthouse, which has three bedrooms and two bathrooms and two car spaces, was bought by the late Bernard Lewis and his late wife Toni in 1998 when the Macquarie St apartments were built.
