Tamaramaâs most expensive hole in the ground has quietly sold, five years after it was first listed with $15 million hopes by Marco Rossi, head of privately held construction group Built, and his partner, Stephanie Stokes.
The couple purchased the Thompson Street property on Sydneyâs coast in 2008 for a then suburb high of $11 million and demolished the house to make way for a development application-approved, Wallace E Cunningham-designed residence that was expected to be the Rossi familyâs forever home.
