< 1 min
Ian Malouf, founder of Dial-a-Dump, has purchased the ANZ Tower penthouse owned by property developer John Boyd for a record $60 million.
The sale of the impressive apartment sets a national record for a single, built apartment.
Mr Malouf, who sold Dial-a-Dump in 2018 to Bingo Industries, bought the penthouse on Saturday night.
ANZ Tower “sky mansion” was initially listed in 2018, with a price guide of $60m – $66m with Bill Malouf of LJ hooker Double Bay and Christie’s Ken Jacobs. The sale is currently the most expensive residential sale in the country this year.
ANZ Tower was complete in 2013, with the home of Mr Boyd and his wife not yet finalised until 2015. Inside sees interiors by Blainey North spread across the 2000sqm abode.
The penthouse is accessed by an express lift from a private car park. The vast floor plan includes a conference room, club-like study, gym, cigar room, and unbelievable rooftop complete with swimming pool, two terraces and a cabana lounge.
Despite the penthouse’s record price, construction is underway of James Packer’s $60m two-storey apartment in Crown Residences at Barangaroo alongside a $140m consolidation of the top three floors of Lendlease’s neighbouring One Sydney Harbour Tower 1 development.

A Sydney site with a questionable past is reborn as a luxe residential environment ideal for indulging in dining out
2 min
Long-term Sydney residents always had handful of not-so-glamourous nicknames for the building on the corner of Cleveland and Baptist Streets straddling Redfern and Surry Hills, but after a modern rebirth that’s all changed.
Once known as “Murder Mall” or “Methadone Mall”, the 1960s-built Surry Hills Shopping Centre was a magnet for colourful characters and questionable behaviour. Today, however, a $500 million facelift of the site — alongside a slow and steady gentrification of the two neighbouring suburbs — the prime corner property has been transformed into a luxury apartment complex Surry Hills Village by developer Toga Group.
The crowning feature of the 122-apartment project is the three-bedroom penthouse, fully completed and just released to market with a $7.5 million price guide.
Measuring 211sqm of internal space, with a 136sqm terrace complete with landscaping, the penthouse is the brand new brainchild of Surry Hills local Adam Haddow, director of architecture at award-winning firm SJB.
Victoria Judge, senior associate and co-interior design lead at SJB says Surry Hills Village sets a new residential benchmark for the southern end of Surry Hills.
“The residential offering is well-appointed, confident, luxe and bohemian. Smart enough to know what makes good living, and cool enough to hold its own amongst design-centric Surry Hills.”
Allan Vidor, managing director of Toga Group, adds that the penthouse is the quintessential jewel in the crown of Surry Hills Village.
“Bringing together a distinct design that draws on the beauty and vibrancy of Sydney; grand spaces and the finest finishes across a significant footprint, located only a stone’s throw away from the exciting cultural hub of Crown St and Surry Hills.”
Created to maximise views of the city skyline and parkland, the top floor apartment has a practical layout including a wide private lobby leading to the main living room, a sleek kitchen featuring Pietra Verde marble and a concealed butler’s pantry Sub-Zero Wolf appliances, full-height Aspen elm joinery panels hiding storage throughout, flamed Saville stone flooring, a powder room, and two car spaces with a personal EV.
All three bedrooms have large wardrobes and ensuites with bathrooms fittings such as freestanding baths, artisan penny tiles, emerald marble surfaces and brushed-nickel accents.
Additional features of the entertainer’s home include leather-bound joinery doors opening to a full wet bar with Sub-Zero wine fridge and Sub-Zero Wolf barbecue.
The Surry Hills Village precinct will open in stages until autumn next year and once complete, Wunderlich Lane will be home to a collection of 25 restaurants and bars plus wellness and boutique retail. The EVE Hotel Sydney will open later in 2024, offering guests an immersive experience in the precinct’s art, culture, and culinary offerings.
The Surry Hills Village penthouse on Baptist is now finished and ready to move into with marketing through Toga Group and inquiries to 1800 554 556.
