The survivor of the Holocaust, Marc Bisen, who died in 2023 at the age of 99, left the displacement of the war to become a titan of the Australian retail sale, directing Sussan’s growth with his brother -in -law John Gandel.

The couple then expanded to Suzanne Grae and Sportsgirl, while also taking Melbourne shopping centers such as Highpoint and Central Hill Box (previously WhiteHorse Plaza).

The final participation of the family in Highpoint was sold to the GPT group for $ 680 million in 2017.

The kisses had great bets in Highpoint, Central Hill Box and other Australian key shopping centers before leaving for more than $ 1.3 billion.

The Director of the Property of the Industry, the director of Toorak, Andrew Date, a prestigious buyers, said that the agreement followed a family script for the ultra prestige market of Toorak.

“Sales outside the market like this have to do with discretion,” Date said.

“Once you are operating in the space from $ 20 million to $ 100 million, it is not open houses, it is legacy, trust and relationships.

“These families do not want means, they want privacy and control.”

The sale of $ 50 million is the second most expensive residential agreement of the year of Melbourne, behind only the acquisition of more than $ 100 million of ‘coonac’, neighboring Mansion Clendon RD previously owned by the toll leader Paul Little and his wife Jane Dans.
