This week’s priciest home sold in the Phoenix, Arizona area was at the advantage of professional golfer Geoff Ogilvy.

The 7,700-square-foot property with six bedrooms and eight bathrooms is located on a golf course in Scottsdale’s Dana Estates and was sold for $4.1 million to Lance and Shonda Freeman.

The two-story home which belonged to Ogilvy, the 2006 U.S. Open champion, and his wife, Juli, also had a lap pool, guest suite, chef’s kitchen with retractable doors and custom finishing throughout the home, according to the Arizona Republic.

Ogilvy, an Aussie who will serve as an assistant captain for the International Team during the Presidents Cup Dec. 9-15, stepped away from his life of playing every week on the PGA Tour and moved to Australia in January 2019 along with Juli and the couple’s three children. They found a house “almost next door” to Royal Melbourne, which hosts the Presidents Cup.

Twenty-seven years later, the four-time NBA champion with the Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Heat hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony, alongside Mayor Ras Baraka, at an $80 million, 22-story building at 50 Rector Park in the Newark Downtown District. The development, known around town as “Shaq Tower,” is the first high-rise apartment building to join the city’s skyline in more than 50 years. The project came about as a public-private partnership between Shaq, the city, the state of New Jersey, New Brunswick-based Boraie Development and the Goldman Sachs Urban Investment Group. The new tower was also boosted by a $24 million New Jersey Department of Economic Development Urban Transit Hub Tax Credit. The building’s one million square feet of space includes ground-floor retail space and 169 residential units—with monthly rents ranging from $1,800 to $2,895—as well as a gym, co-working lounge, private dining room, sky deck and Amazon lockers.
