据悉，Caledonia Investments公司的首席投资官Will Vicars斥资2100万澳元在Pacific Bondi Beach买下了两套两层的“灯塔”公寓，该公寓将于2015年建成。
去年10月，Vicars先生斥资1090万澳元在Pacific Bondi购得了第一个顶层公寓。同时他还在该区购买了两处投资公寓。而第二个顶层公寓则是在近期购得的，这处公寓花费了1010万澳元。在过去几周内，Vicars先生一直在与建筑师磋商，意图将这两处顶层公寓进行合并，从而打造出一超级公寓。
有消息称，原本的公寓销售记录保持者是一处位于Bennelong的12层的单元房，其售价为1680万澳元。如今这个记录已被Vicars先生所打破，不过也许这次的记录也不会维持太久。
有消息称Deke 和 Eve Miskin正在考虑出资2500万美元收购和Vicars先生名下公寓相邻的两处“灯塔”公寓，其目的与Vicars先生相同。Deke 和 Eve Miskin早前售出了他们位于Point Piper的 Altona，售价达5400万澳元，创下了悉尼豪宅销售的记录。
Vicars先生，现年46岁，目前与妻子Jane以及他们的孩子居住在 Point Piper的一座海滨别墅里。
“对我来说,这是一个创建一座超级公寓的好机会，这也可能会成为我们未来在Bondi的家”，Vicars先生表示。
CBRE Residential的主席Justin Brown 称Vicars的公寓将为澳大利亚的海边住宅设立新的标准。
然而类似这种价值2100万澳元的交易在 Pacific Bondi Beach上并不是第一次。据悉，另一个四层的“灯塔”公寓曾被以低于900万澳元的价格卖给一位海外买家，创下了悉尼两居室的销售记录。
开发商们表示，Bondi的活力与青春将吸引更多更富有的客户，他们相信他们一定可以售出他们的超级公寓。

Australia's most expensive apartment will soon be created, after a fund manager paid $21 million for two adjoining penthouses off the plan at Bondi Beach.
The chief investment officer of boutique fund manager Caledonia Investments, Will Vicars, paid $21 million to buy the two two-storey "lighthouse" penthouses at the Pacific Bondi Beach, to be built by 2015, with plans to instead create one super apartment.
Mr Vicars bought the first Pacific Bondi penthouse for $10.9 million last October. At the same time he purchased two investment apartments in the block.

The second penthouse purchase - for $10.1 million - was more recent and in the past few weeks Mr Vicars has been working with architects on the plans to merge the two.
The record price paid for an apartment is $16.8 million for a 12th floor unit in Bennelong at Circular Quay in 2008.
Taken together, Mr Vicars' purchase breaks that record, although it not might not last long.

Deke and Eve Miskin - who recently set a sales price record for a Sydney house with their $54 million sale of Altona in Point Piper - are considering paying $25 million to buy the two "lighthouses" next door to Mr Vicars to do exactly the same thing.
Mr Vicars, 46, currently lives in a waterfront house at Point Piper with his wife, Jane, and their children.
"For me, this is an opportunity to create a spectacular apartment, which may become our future family home in Bondi," Mr Vicars said.

The apartment, in the redevelopment of the Swiss Grand Hotel on Campbell Parade, will have a total size of 975 square metres, including 507 square metres of internal living space and a 468-square metre terrace fronting the beach.
CBRE Residential chairman, Justin Brown - whose team sold all of the penthouses - said the Vicars apartment would set a benchmark in Australian beachside living.
"It smashes all previous records by a country mile and I think this sale supercedes any other penthouse sale in excess of 20 per cent," Mr Brown said.
Eve and Deke Miskin who have sold Sydney's most expensive house, Altona, and are now looking at Australia's most expensive apartment.
Encouraged by the sale, Pacific Bondi Beach developers Allen Linz of Rebel Property Group and Eduard Litver of Capit.el Group have commissioned designers BKH to merge the two neighbouring "lighthouses" to create an 873-square metre apartment with an even bigger price tag.
The plans, seen by Fairfax Media, are for an extraordinary 40-metre wide four-bedroom apartment, complete with wet-edge pool, gym, steam bath and jacuzzi upstairs.
The base price is above $25 million but, depending on the finishes chosen, Mr Brown said it could cost $29 million. "Someone from overseas might want gold tiles - you just don't know what they're going to want," Mr Brown said.
McGrath agent Steven Chen, who is a sub-agent at Pacific Bondi Beach, said there were already several people interested.
These include "high net worth" clients who have also been looking at James Packer's former bachelor pad, which has hopes of more than $20 million, as well as the Miskins. "These really are trophy apartments," Mr Chen said.
Pacific Bondi Beach - designed by architect Andrew Andersons from PTW - was launched to the market in September 2012 and attracted record sales totalling $164 million. Ninety seven per cent of the available apartments sold on the first day. When complete in 2015, there will also be a boutique hotel and restaurants within the development.
The $21 million sale isn't the first record set by the Pacific Bondi Beach. One of the other fourth-floor "lighthouses" sold to an offshore buyer for just shy of $9 million, setting a record price for a two-bedroom apartment in Sydney.
News of the $21 million sale follows the recent purchase of adjoining top-floor apartments in the Hastings development at the northern end of the beach for $5.8 million by Anthony Miller, managing director at Goldman Sachs JBWere.
The two Hastings apartments, sold by Mr Chen, were the last of the five in the block developed by Mr Gordon Fell, founder of Rubicon and more recently the chairman of Hertford Properties.
"We've had a lot of high-end sales of houses in the adjoining suburbs of Darling Point and Point Piper and a few of those vendors are actively looking in Bondi Beach," Mr Chen said.
"Bondi has this attractiveness to the more wealthy clients because they're attracted by its vibrancy and youthfulness."
The developers are confident they won't have any trouble selling their super apartment.
"You've just got to look at who's in the market for premium properties with these sales of trophy homes," Mr Linz said.
"There are a lot of empty-nesters who want something really special in an amazing location and they've got nowhere to go."
Mr Litver concurred. "Some of those houses haven't been refurbished since the 1980s so they all need doing up and they're too big for them anyway, because their kids have moved out.
"And at Pacific they've got the beach, a high level of luxury and security... We've got an enormous amount of confidence it will sell well."
