James Packer's lieutenant lists showstopping home with hopes above $90m
While James Packer was busy making real estate moves in America earlier this week, the head of his family office was busy preparing his own distinguished trophy home for the market back in Australia.
Lawrence Myers, chief executive of James Packer's family office Consolidated Press Holdings, and his wife Sylvia have listed their exquisite Rose Bay home with a price guide above $90 million.
In what could be one of the top sales for the year and set to smash the suburb record by almost double, the waterfront estate in one of the most tightly held pockets of Sydney is a sight to behold.
With gun barrel views of the harbour, the 1039-square-metre parcel of verdant land is almost unmatched.
The five-bedroom, four-bathroom house, designed by David Walker and Peter Janks, has no immediate neighbours on either side and frames Sydney's iconic sights picture perfectly.
The Myers are selling due to the extensive and increasing international travel demands of Lawrence's executive role as a specialist high net-worth advisor for his wealthy clientele.
Indeed, the 51-year-old holds an impressive list of roles, as well as being the boss of Packer's family office. The accountant is also a deputy chairman of Breville, a board member of fund manager VGI Partners and is also a trustee of the Art Gallery of NSW Foundation, according to his LinkedIn.
The home has been maintained meticulously, albeit not substantially updated since it was built in 2013, and yet has had a bullish run in sales over the years in a testament to the calibre of the home and the Rose Bay market.

Harbour City gains unexpected cheerleader in Melbourne's lord mayor
One immutable fundamental of federation relations that founded the Commonwealth of Australia – state-on-state rivalry – was upended recently when Nick Reece, lord mayor of Melbourne, undertook a whistle-stop tour of Sydney ... and liked it. 'Sydney and Melbourne are the two best cities in the world!' Reece said glowingly of the northern metropolis on a LinkedIn post (but not in an official media release, as far as we could tell). Talk about undermining 124 years of slow burn resentment towards the Harbour City nurtured by our bitter, envious friends to the south. Reece also blew smoke in the direction of some of NSW's most prominent power players (though the state's unofficial premier, Peter V'landys, was missing). NSW Premier Chris Minns was 'a seriously smart guy … he also has an incredible knowledge of rugby league'. But Reece kept it real, musing that Minns might be lucky enough to score an invitation to the AFL Grand Final, which will be a non-event to most Sydneysiders, what with the Swans' season of woe. Loading Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore was a 'legend' who had 'copped a bit over the years' but was someone who deserves 'huge credit for her vision and determination'. He also name-checked Business Sydney's Paul Nicolau and Crown Resorts chairman John Borghetti, and mused that Melbourne had 'much to learn' from the Vivid festival, which should send chills down the spine of our snobbier southern neighbours. Still, Reece managed to straddle a line between enthusiastic guest and Melbourne advocate, ready to heap praise on his hometown. So when meeting hospitality baron Justin Hemmes, he cannily pointed out that while he loved his tour of The Ivy, the billionaire manbun's biggest project was Parkade in Melbourne, the next target of Merivale's imperial ambitions.

Nothing to resent here: Lord mayor sends praise in an unexpected direction
One immutable fundamental of federal relations underpinning the Commonwealth of Australia, state-on-state rivalry, was upended recently when Melbourne Lord Mayor Nick Reece undertook a whistlestop tour of Sydney – and commented favourably on the experience. 'Sydney and Melbourne are the two best cities in the world!' Reece said glowingly of the northern metropolis in a LinkedIn post (but not in an official media release, as far as we could tell). Talk about undermining 124 years of slow-burn resentment towards the Harbour City nurtured by Melbourne since Federation. During his 36-hour outing late last week, Reece also blew smoke in the direction of some of NSW's most prominent power players. NSW Premier Chris Minns was 'a seriously smart guy … he also has an incredible knowledge of rugby league'. But Reece kept it real, musing that Minns might be lucky enough to score an invite to the AFL grand final, which, no surprises – is in Melbourne! Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore was a 'legend' who had 'copped a bit over the years' but was someone who deserves 'huge credit for her vision and determination'. Reece also name-checked Business Sydney, and Crown Resorts chairman John Borghetti while all the while being sure to heap praise on Melbourne. So when meeting hospitality dude Justin Hemmes, he was canny to point out that while he loved his tour of The Ivy in Sydney, Hemmes' Merivale Group was undertaking its biggest project (Parkade) … in Melbourne! One fascination for CBD was how deftly Reece navigated his way through Sydney's crucial but often unspoken dress codes.
