The anonymous owners purchased the harbourside block for around $22.5 million in January, off Shanghai-based shipping magnate heir, Hugh Huang.

But the block has changed hands multiple times before then.

Huang bought the Wolseley Road residence for $14.35 million in 2013 from Sydney FC chairman Scott Barlow.

Barlow purchased it from hotelier Damien Reed in 2010, who bought the home from orthopaedic surgeon Lawrence Kohan in 2004.
