Mr Josephson co-founded the clothing chain Universal Store alongside his brother in 1999, before it was sold to private equity investors in 2018.
Following the sale, he amassed a significant property and retail portfolio.
Some have been sold off or closed altogether since his death.
At a touching funeral in July, Mr Josephson’s wife Tamra, remembered her husband as the “team captain” of their family.
“He was still my handsome Gregory. We had discussed how we looked forward to spending more time together, just the two of us. We loved each other’s company.
“He was the most gentle, soft, kind-hearted, generous, calm, positive, happy, intelligent man I have ever met. He was a pure gentleman.
“I loved you so much and I will love you forever.”
