Adman Scott Whybin buys South Yarra penthouse

Adman Scott Whybin, the former boss of Whybin/TBWA, has emerged as the $11 million buyer of a luxury bachelor pad penthouse in South Yarra.

The Rothelowman designed apartment sits atop the Hawskburn development built for developer Peter Gibson by Crema Constructions.

Gibson has been developing high-end apartments, houses and townhouses for more than 35 years in Toorak and South Yarra, and has recently moved into delivering larger-scale projects, still targeting luxury owner-occupiers, with his son, Christo.

The $11 million sale came with an eight-car basement garage with private lift up to the 650sq m space on the fourth floor.

It has just the three bedrooms and three bathrooms with floor to ceiling glass offering 360 degree views of the city sklyine.

He has been a longtime South Yarra local since making the move south from Newcastle, via Sydney and London.

Whybin founded the advertising agency Whybin\TBWA resigning last year after 21 year. It came a year after he'd been inducted into the AdNews Hall of Fame.
