Arts guru merchant banker Simon Mordant is the reputed $11 million buyer of the garden apartment in the recently completed Buckhurst block in POINT PIPER.

The ELK development group secured $68 million in sales of the six harbourfront Buckhurst Avenue apartments. The whole-floor units were designed by architect Alex Popov, with interiors by Ruth Levine Designs, following two years of construction.

Simon and Catriona Mordant have been living in Darling Point for the past 24 years, with almost a decade in a two-storey hillside triplex penthouse developed by Ron Powell to a design by Peddle Thorp and Walker.

Their current abode, which cost $5.25 million in 2002, had 245 square metres of space plus 95 square metres of terraces.
