It was completed in 1984 and was one of the first high rise strata buildings in Sydney.
The current owners of the apartment, Gavin Holland and Kelly McNamara, speculated the property would have been host to some lively parties.
‘I know that back in those days there was a lot of socialising that went on, for want of a better word. In this building, there’ve been suicides, murders, famous and infamous people — all sorts of stuff,’ Holland told Newscorp.

Kylie and Michael dated for two years from 1989-1991, and remained close friends until his death in 1997.
Michael killed himself in a Sydney hotel room at the age of 37.
In 2015, Kylie discussed their relationship during an interview on BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs.
‘He was this wild guy, he was the rocker, he was all of that. But I’m always at pains to say, he was Byron-esque, he was poetic, he was cultured and hilarious and tender,’ the popstar reflected.

‘I guess, I was at the perfect age, I was 21 years old, to get the butterfly wings and go out into the world and we collided at that time and I guess he just fast-tracked some of it.’
‘Anyway, it was a glorious time. I loved it,’ Kylie added.
The ‘love nest’ the Australian music pair lived in during their time together will be up for auction on February 28.
According to PropTrack, the median apartment price for Sydney CBD stands at $1.13 million, reflecting a decrease of 2.5 percent over the past year.
