Construct an explicit non-polytopal Bier sphere

Construct a specific simplicial complex K on a finite vertex set [m], with K ≠ Δ_[m], such that the Bier sphere Bier(K) is non-polytopal; that is, Bier(K) is not combinatorially equivalent to the boundary complex of any convex polytope.

Background

Bier spheres are defined as deleted joins of a simplicial complex K with its Alexander dual K and are known to be PL-spheres. They admit canonical starshaped realizations and play a significant role in toric topology, connecting combinatorial data of simplicial complexes with toric and moment-angle manifolds.

It has been observed (following Matoušek) that asymptotically almost all Bier spheres are non-polytopal as the number of vertices grows. Despite this probabilistic prevalence, a concrete example of a non-polytopal Bier sphere has not been identified, leaving an explicit construction problem open.

References

On the other hand, it was observed in that almost all Bier spheres of simplicial complexes on $[m]$ are non-polytopal, as $m\to\infty$; however, no particular example of a non-polytopal Bier sphere has been constructed so far.
