Atlassian billionaire Mike Cannon-Brookes is the confirmed $15.2m buyer of the New York warehouse-style penthouse on the top level of Angus House in Darlinghurst.

The 585sq m apartment, which won the 2023 Master Builders Association Best Renovation award, was bought by the Cannon-Brookes family company directed by chief executive Casey Taylor and financial officer Faris Cosic.

The home was billed as the ultimate bachelor pad.

The views.

It was sold by Dr Jonathan Seeff and his wife, Rachelle, who had paid $5.555m for the four-bedroom apartment that occupies the top floor of the former head office of Moran Health Care.

The building at the corner of Stanley and Palmer streets was initially redeveloped by developer duo Theo Onisforou and James Packer in the late 1990s into 18 apartments.

Cannon-Brookes, who split from wife Annie in mid-2023, enjoys a wealth of $29bn.

It adds to Cannon-Brookes’ vast property empire worth in excess of $350m, that includes properties in Pittwater and Newport on Sydney’s northern beaches, a number of homes in the southern highlands and Point Piper’s Fairwater, the long-time home of media barons the Fairfaxes and at one-time Australia’s most expensive house when it traded hands – to Cannon-Brookes – for $100m in 2018.

Several of those properties have been at the heart of break-up proceedings between Cannon-Brookes and his ex-wife Annie, following the couple’s separation in mid-2023 after 13 years together.

The tech guru is also the owner of a $120m ‘house-like’ private jet, despite his climate change leanings.

Meanwhile, a Surry Hills warehouse conversion, formerly the Labor Club premises, has been sold for $12.4m by Dr Andrew Goy. He had been seeking a buyer for the Bourke St property since last August, originally hoping for $14m
