Chinese billionaire Huang Xiangmo is headed for a showdown with the Tax Office after seeking to quickly offload a North Sydney office tower, as part of an Australian asset sell-down which could total $1.1 billion.
Mr Huang has engaged agents for the off-market sale, which is expected to deliver him around $130 million for the 15-story Berry Street tower, more than double its price four years ago.
