    Former ‘Real Housewives of Miami’ Star Nicole Martin Drops $34 Million on a Coral Gables Mansion

    by

    Insurance attorney Anthony Lopez and anesthesiologist Dr. Nicole Martin, a former cast member on The Real Housewives of Miami, aren’t exactly strangers to big-ticket real estate deals, and the Miami power couple just sealed the deal for a $34 million waterfront spread in Coral Gables. It’s every bit as over the top as you’d imagine.

    The estate is one of only 14 in the ultra-exclusive, guard-gated Gables Estates enclave, which faces Biscayne Bay. The Lopez-Martins’ new digs stretch across 225 feet of pristine shoreline, open views over the water, and plenty of space to park the yacht.

    Built in 2004, the home has already seen some notable names pass through its doors. It was previously owned by Miami Heat legend Alonzo Mourning, who purchased it back in 2005 when he returned to play for the team after a short stint with the New Jersey Nets.

    The estate combines all the bells and whistles that make daily living comfortable and resort-like. At the heart of the home is a chef’s kitchen with custom cabinetry and top-of-the-line appliances, while a sprawling, temperature-controlled wine cellar with capacity for more than 2,700 bottles is a showstopper for serious collectors. Other highlights include two home offices, a game and entertainment room, and a fully equipped gym.

    The couple’s new home doesn’t skimp on function, either; there’s an elevator, a four-car garage, and, essential for life in hurricane country, impact-resistant windows and doors and a full-house generator. 

    The expansive, light-filled living areas flow easily out to a backyard dialed in for Miami living. Expect wide terraces for lounging, a summer kitchen for long dinners under the stars, a pool that sits just steps from the bay, and a private dock and boat lift.

    This isn’t the Lopez-Martins’ first high-profile Miami move. Just weeks ago, they sold their fully reimagined Old Cutler Bay estate in a record-breaking off-market deal valued at $40 million. The buyer was none other than British pop star Robbie Williams, who is relocating with his family to South Florida. Lopez and Martin had picked up the property only a few years earlier, in 2022, for $21.5 million and spent two years gut-renovating it, doubling their investment in the process.

    That sale follows a string of headline-making deals for the couple, including a $44 million transaction with Jeff Bezos’s mother in 2022. Now, with their latest buy in Gables Estates, they’ve secured one of Miami’s most coveted waterfront addresses—and cemented their reputation as serious players in the city’s white-hot ultra-luxury real estate market.

      A Rockstar’s Balinese-Style Florida Retreat Hits the Market for $1.75 Million

      by

      If you’ve ever wanted to come sail away without leaving the U.S., Chuck Panozzo, co-founder and bassist of Styx, has you covered. His private tropical retreat in Florida is now on the market for $1.75 million with Juan Zapata and Susan Rindley of ONE Sotheby’s International Realty.

      Aptly christened La Serenidad or “Serenity” in English, the one-of-a-kind oasis is located in the artsy Wilton Manors neighborhood near Fort Lauderdale. Panozzo picked it up in 2007 for $305,000 and has spent the years since transforming it into what he describes as his “personal sanctuary.” “When I open the door and cross the koi pond, I know I’m safe and at home,” he told New York Post‘s Gimme Shelter. Each corner of the property, he says, was designed with a different state of mind in mind, with quiet spots to relax after a long tour, secluded nooks for reflection, and open spaces to crank up the volume and jam with friends.

      Koi ponds flank the front entrance to the home.

      The home, built in 1952, feels more like a Balinese resort than a typical Broward County pad. Measuring just over 1,600 square feet, the abode is outfitted with two bedrooms, a home office that could easily be a third bedroom, and three bathrooms. Warm wood finishes and custom craftsmanship give the interiors a grounded, serene energy, while the open layout creates a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Slide open the doors, and the living room becomes an extension of the lush garden beyond.

      That garden is where La Serenidad truly lives up to its name. Coral-lined walkways curve past tranquil koi ponds and gently splashing fountains. Teak sculptures peek from behind greenery, while bonsai and Ashoka trees add texture and height. There are even whimsical animal-shaped hedges to discover.

      The pool area includes Bali-inspired shaded gazebos.

      The outdoor areas are designed like a choose-your-own-adventure for zen: a shaded gazebo perfect for meditating, tucked-away corners for reading, and sunny poolside spots for entertaining. Most of the art and sculptures are included in the sale, making it easy to preserve the home’s unique character.

      A founding member of Styx—known for hits like “Babe,” “Lady,” and “Mr. Roboto”—Panozzo still actively tours with the band. But after more than 15 years in this tropical hideaway, he’s ready for a change of scenery. “I’ve lived in high-rises in Chicago and Miami, and I realize it’s best for me to return to the sky,” he told Gimme Shelter. He plans to move into a new luxury building in downtown Fort Lauderdale, closer to the city’s growing arts and culture scene.

      For the right buyer, La Serenidad offers exactly what its name promises: a harmonious blend of peace, privacy, and just enough rock-and-roll spirit to keep life interesting.

      Robbie Williams Dropped $40 Million for the Miami Mansion of a Former ‘Real Housewives’ Star

      by

      Attorney Anthony Lopez and his fiancée, Dr. Nicole Martin, an anesthesiologist and former Real Housewives of Miami cast member, have offloaded their fully reimagined waterfront estate in Coral Gables in a $40 million off-market deal. They were represented in the transaction by Dennis Carvajal of ONE Sotheby’s International Realty.

      The buyer, represented by Chad Carroll of Compass, is none other than British music superstar Robbie Williams, who reportedly plans to relocate his family of six to Florida following the sale of his Beverly Hills mansion to Drake for $75 million.

      Lopez and Martin purchased the one-acre peninsula property in the prestigious Old Cutler Bay enclave in 2022 for $21.5 million and then spent two years gut-renovating the residence, which was prominently featured on the popular Bravo franchise. Their transformation, along with Florida’s electrified ultra-high-end real estate market, more than doubled the value of the home and set a new benchmark for the exclusive waterfront neighborhood, landing at roughly $5,000 per square foot.

      Since it was last purchased in 2022, the entire house as undergone and elegant renovation.

      The 19,380-square-foot smart home currently has seven bedrooms, seven full bathrooms, and two powder rooms. Interior spaces are designed for both everyday living and large-scale entertaining, with a chef’s kitchen equipped with three Sub-Zero fridge/freezers, a movie room, a gym and a massage suite, a bar, and a temperature-controlled wine cellar. A resort-style pool, fire pit, pizza oven, cabana bath, and summer kitchen sit at the edge of the peninsula, which offers 435 feet of water frontage and a 75-foot dock. A custom-lit 18-car garage rounds out the amenities.

      But Williams isn’t just moving in and leaving things be; he’s expanding. According to The New York Post, the English pop star tapped developer Manny Angelo Varas, known as “The Billionaire’s Builder,” to oversee a multi-million-dollar addition that includes a 2,000-square-foot guest pavilion with the potential for a recording studio. Among the unique features being explored is a floating padel court, which, if approved, would be the first of its kind at a U.S. residence.

      Perched on a private peninsula of about one acre, the estate presides over 435 feet of water frontage.

      It’s a “different lifestyle,” Varas said of Williams’s move from California to Miami, noting that safety, taxes, and quality of life are among the reasons high-profile clients are increasingly opting for South Florida. Initially, Williams considered purchasing Rosie O’Donnell’s former home on Star Island, but concerns over flood codes pushed him toward Old Cutler Bay.

      The couple has steadily built and strategically offloaded a small portfolio of high-end Miami real estate, and the monumental recent sale isn’t Lopez and Martin’s first headline-grabbing deal. In 2022, they sold a nearby Coral Gables estate to Jeff Bezos’s mother for $44 million, and in 2021, they dropped $7.5 million for a condo on ultra-exclusive Fisher Island. Records show Lopez also owns two smaller homes in Coral Gables, likely held as investments, rentals, or housing for family or staff. Still, letting go of the Old Cutler Bay estate was a tough call. “It was one of those offers that felt irresponsible to say no to,” Lopez told The Real Deal.

      Inside David and Victoria Beckham’s $150 Million Property Portfolio

      by

      David and Victoria Beckham don’t just rule the worlds of soccer and fashion—they’ve built a global empire that extends far beyond the pitch and the runway. And their choices in residences, spanning sleek city penthouses, countryside estates, and waterfront mansions, each reflect their signature blend of style and star power. Whether basking in the Miami sun, retreating to the English countryside, or laying low atop Dubai’s tallest tower, the Beckhams know how to live iconically.

      In addition to their primary professions, they’ve each cultivated powerhouse brands. David’s ventures include co-owning Inter Miami CF, launching grooming and whiskey lines, and founding Studio 99, the production company behind the Emmy-winning 2023 Netflix doc Beckham. Victoria, meanwhile, turned her Spice Girls superstardom into a thriving fashion and beauty label, Victoria Beckham Holdings Limited. Together, their combined net worth is estimated at £500 million (about $671 million), according to The Sunday Times Rich List.

      Their homes have tracked their rise. In Spain, during David’s Real Madrid era, they owned a Tuscan-style villa ideal for their growing family. When he joined LA Galaxy in 2007, the Beckhams settled into a 13,000-square-foot Beverly Hills mansion with six bedrooms, nine bathrooms, and a custom media room for Victoria. They sold it quietly for $33 million in 2018, closing a glitzy, tabloid-tracked chapter in Lala Land.

      Even at sea, the Beckhams do it big. Their $20 million Riva 130 Bellissima yacht, Seven—named for David’s squad number, which is also daughter Harper’s middle name—is a floating retreat, not only for the two of them but also for their four kids, Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper.

      Now, let’s take a closer look at their impressive collection of homes.

      Former Celtics Co-Owner Jim Pallotta Lists His Sprawling Massachusetts Estate for $38 Million

      by

      When you’ve spent nearly two decades building the perfect family sanctuary—one that doubles as the private playground for a former NBA team co-owner—it’s not easy to say goodbye. 

      But that’s exactly what Jim Pallotta and his wife, Kim, are doing. Their nearly 20-acre estate and its sprawling 21,000-square-foot mansion in Weston, Massachusetts, a masterpiece of modern grandeur with a dash of English country charm, just hit the market for a whopping $38 million with Mark Doherty of The Sarkis Team at Douglas Elliman and Maggie Gold Seelig of MGS Group Real Estate. 

      Jim, a co-owner and executive board member of the Boston Celtics from 2002 to 2020, and Kim have called their Ash Street spread home since 2006. But now that their two sons have flown the coop, the couple admits the custom-built abode is simply “too big” for just the two of them, they told The Wall Street Journal. Their plan? To live a tri-coastal lifestyle, splitting time between their other homes in Nantucket, Miami, and Charleston, South Carolina.

      The home pairs high ceilings, wide-plank wood floorboards, and intricate moldings with bright, sunlit interiors.

      The Pallottas’ compound is a rare gem in this prestigious Boston suburb. Designed by Connecticut’s Shope Reno Wharton to evoke an English country estate, the home blends classic architectural details with a ton of modern amenities. Think soaring ceilings, intricate moldings, and sun-drenched rooms. 

      At the heart of the main floor is a chef’s dream kitchen featuring two large islands, a pizza oven, and a cozy fireplace. The expansive layout also includes multiple formal and informal entertaining spaces, two offices, a guest suite, and a screened porch with a fireplace and built-in grill.

      Upstairs, the palatial primary suite is a retreat within a retreat, sporting dual dressing rooms, a spa-like bathroom, a private sitting area, and an upstairs office. Four additional bedroom suites and a second-floor family room provide plenty of space for guests and kids coming home to visit. Meanwhile, the walk-out lower level is a bona fide entertainment hub, complete with a theater, gym, billiards room, gaming lounge, bar, and wine cellar. 

      Outside, the resort-style grounds reveal why this estate is truly one of a kind. A sparkling pool with a pool house (full kitchen and bath included), a basketball court, and an oversized four-car garage complete the picture. But perhaps the most delightfully unique feature is the room dedicated to Kim’s extensive collection of antique Santa Claus figurines—an homage to holiday cheer that transforms the house into a winter wonderland each year, The Journal reported.

      While the $38 million price tag narrows the field of potential buyers, this estate is poised to set a new record as the most expensive home ever sold in Weston.

      Baseball Great David Ortiz Just Scooped Up a Condo at Miami’s ORA by Casa Tua

      by

      Baseball icon David “Big Papi” Ortiz just made a power move off the field—straight into the Miami real estate headlines. The Boston Red Sox legend has snapped up a new home at ORA by Casa Tua, the first-ever branded residence from the team behind the buzzy, members-only Casa Tua club and restaurant. Developed by Fortune International Group in partnership with Casa Tua’s founder Miky Grendene, the towering glass stunner is set to rise 77 stories above Brickell Avenue. 

      Ortiz—who won three World Series titles with the Sox and remains one of the most beloved sluggers in MLB history—was all smiles as he posed at the sales gallery with his broker, Sheila Rosario Davey of Fortune International Realty. Davey marked the moment on Instagram, sharing a shot of the Hall of Famer alongside fellow agent Jennifer Bautista.

      Though details of Ortiz’s exact unit and purchase price remain under wraps, three-bedroom residences at ORA—ranging from approximately 2,300 square feet with expansive terraces—are currently priced between $3.35 million and $3.75 million, offering a sense of what buyers at his level might expect. 

      Known for his outsized charisma, Ortiz was reportedly drawn to ORA’s blend of luxury, lifestyle, and culinary flair. True to Casa Tua’s brand, the building leans heavily into food and community, with four on-site restaurants—Terra, Uva, Fuoco, and Vento—designed to bring guests and residents together around the table.

      Scheduled for completion in 2029, the Arquitectonica-designed tower will comprise 533 fully furnished residences and allow for short-term rentals. Naturally, the amenity lineup reads like a five-star resort: a 12th-floor pool deck, hammam-equipped wellness center, co-working spaces, and a rooftop bar and lounge with sweeping views of Biscayne Bay. There’s even a three-story sky garden and interiors by Milan-based m2atelier. 

      Meanwhile, one of Ortiz’s former homes is back in the spotlight. The five-bedroom, eight-bathroom Pinecrest estate he custom-built in 2019 has just returned to the market with an $11.5 million price tag. Listed with Dennis Carvajal of One Sotheby’s International Realty, the striking modern compound features everything from an Officine Gullo kitchen to a sports lounge with nine flat-screen TVs—and it still holds the title for the upscale neighborhood’s record high sale price. Big Papi knows how to pick ’em.
