    Hedge Funder Dan Loeb Just Sold His Waterfront Miami Beach Mansion for $35.5 Million

    by

    Four years ago, Dan Loeb forked over $20 million for a modern mansion overlooking Biscayne Bay in Miami Beach. Late last year, the East Coast-based founder and CEO of the hedge fund Third Point hoisted the property back on the market for $45 million. The price was subsequently reduced to $41.5 million before it was removed from the market this past June. Now records show a newly incorporated LLC named after the home’s exclusive North Bay Road address has stepped up to the plate, with the estate now under contract to be sold for $35.5 million.

    That’s around $10 million less than Loeb originally wanted for the palatial pad, but it’s still $15 million more than he paid spec developer Peter Fine for the place in late 2020 before he invested some $10 million in upgrading the kitchen, millwork, and lighting. The listing was held by Danny and Jill Hertzberg of the Jills Zeder Group at Coldwell Banker; David Solomon of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices EWM Realty repped the buyer.

    Indoor-outdoor living spaces are front and center throughout the bay-view home.

    Sequestered amid a walled and gated parcel spanning over a half-acre near the La Gorce Country Club, the architectural residence was designed by Choeff Levy Fischman. There are seven bedrooms and 12 baths in almost 14,000 square feet of living space on two levels accessible via a floating staircase and an elevator. Posh amenities include an office, a wine cellar, a wet bar-equipped screening/game room, a gym that flows to an outdoor yoga platform, and a massive roof deck providing bay and city skyline views, as well as an attached three-car garage and a dock resting along 100 feet of water footage.

    Among the other standout features are spacious living areas sporting floor-to-ceiling pocketing glass doors spilling outside, along with a formal dining room and a sleek gourmet kitchen outfitted with two islands, Wolf appliances, and an accompanying breakfast nook. An opulent primary suite is decked out with a seating area, a balcony, and dual walk-in closets and baths, while a separate two-bedroom guest wing has its own entrance.

    Rounding it all out are the palm-laced grounds, which host a mosaic-tiled pool and spa abutting a sundeck and an open-air cabana equipped with a seated bar and a built-in barbecue.

    California-born Loeb, whose personal wealth is estimated at around $3.3 billion, told the Miami Herald when he first listed the vacation getaway that he is selling because he wants to focus on his primary New York residence, which is in a particularly coveted area of East Hampton. Records show he also maintains a huge penthouse in a top Manhattan building that he picked up more than 15 years ago for just under $46 million.

      American Eagle CEO’s Oceanfront South Florida Penthouse Hits the Market for $34 Million

      by

      After a lengthy tenure, Jay Schottenstein has decided to relinquish ownership of his South Florida home on the Miami-area barrier island of Key Biscayne. Records show the billionaire American Eagle Outfitters chairman and CEO is asking a speck under $34 million for his sprawling penthouse at the exclusive beachfront Grand Bay Tower development, with the listing jointly held by Brigitte Nachtigall of ONE Sotheby’s International Realty and Ohad Fisherman of the Fisherman Group.

      Property records show Schottenstein and his wife Jeanie initially paid $5 million for a penthouse atop the 14-story structure in 2007 and subsequently picked up a neighboring penthouse for an undisclosed amount. They then spent the next five years combining the two units, which comprise the northeast and southeast corners of the building.

      Art-friendly walls and built-in display cabinets are prominent in the Geoffrey Bradfield-designed aerie.

      Altogether, the four-bedroom, six-bath dwelling features a little more than 10,400 square feet of Geoffrey Bradfield-designed living space boasting sleek marble floors, high wood-paneled ceilings, gallery walls, and built-in cabinetry throughout. Floor-to-ceiling walls of glass and over 3,200 square feet of wraparound terraces also offer sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean, Biscayne Bay, and Miami skyline.

      Other highlights include two private elevator landings and a sprawling living area spotlighted by a mosaic mural. The formal dining room connects to a gourmet kitchen outfitted with dual islands, top-tier stainless appliances, and a breakfast nook, while an opulent primary suite features a luxe bath that comes with a floating spa tub nestled alongside a glass-encased shower.

Topping it all off are plenty of community amenities courtesy of a substantial $10,632 monthly HOA fee, including 24-hour security via a guarded entrance shared with the neighboring Ritz-Carlton resort, plus five parking spaces and access to a secluded beach.

      The recent World Retail Hall of Fame inductee—part of a wealthy Ohio-based family with a business empire that encompasses American Eagle Outfitters, American Signature Furniture, and DSW—owns a couple of other Miami-area residences and also maintains a large estate in his hometown of Columbus, Ohio.

      ‘Real Housewives of Miami’ Alum Lea Black Relists a Waterfront Miami Beach Home for $37.5 Million

      by

      Around nine years after it first hit the market with a nearly $18 million price tag, Lea and Roy Black’s sprawling waterfront mansion on Miami Beach’s guard-gated Star Island enclave overlooking Biscayne Bay has once again popped up for sale.

      On and off the market since 2015 with prices ranging from $15 million to $40 million—and also floated as a rental for as much as $150,000 per month—the former Real Housewives of Miami star and her attorney husband are now seeking nearly $38 million for the one-acre spread they picked up in spring 2011 for $7.1 million and initially planned to renovate. The listing is shared by Saddy Abaunza Delgado of ONE Sotheby’s International Realty and Elena and Stefano Iturriaga of London Real Estate Company.

      The hacienda-style home is tucked between the island’s single bridge and a multimillion-dollar mansion currently under construction.

      LuxHunters for ONE Sotheby’s International Realty

      Built in the early 1980s and resting amid a one-acre pie-shaped parcel that flares out to the bay, the premises include a main home fronted by a circular motor court bolstered by a tiered fountain, along with a separate guesthouse—for a total of nine bedrooms and 12 baths in a little more than 9,700 square feet. There’s also a recently added swimming pool and an attached four-car garage, plus a private 60-foot dock resting along 180 feet of water frontage.

      Though interior photos are scarce, likely due to the abode’s decidedly dated state, previous online reports show a 10-seat movie theater, a sauna, and an office space. Other highlights include a voluminous living area sporting a fireplace and wood-trimmed French doors opening to a bar-equipped veranda, as well as a formal dining room and a kitchen featuring an eat-in island, Viking and Sub-Zero appliances, and an accompanying breakfast nook. The primary retreat comes with a marble-clad bath boasting dual vanities and a built-in soaking tub.

      The one-acre property hosts a whimsical pirate-themed treehouse for kids.

      LuxHunters for ONE Sotheby’s International Realty

      The Black’s estate at 45 Star Island joins Rosie O’Donnell’s former mansion listed for $54 million as the only residences for sale in the pricey neighborhood. Lea, who appeared on the first three seasons of RHOM from 2011 to 2013 and went on to launch an eponymous beauty and skincare business, and Roy, a civil and criminal defense lawyer who has represented the likes of Jeffrey Epstein and William Kennedy Smith, maintain a primary Miami-area residence. They also own properties in California and Texas, along with another in the Florida Keys that’s pending sale.

      David and Victoria Beckham Drop $80 Million on a Waterfront Mansion in Miami Beach

      by

      They already own a $20 million condo in downtown Miami’s ultra-luxe One Thousand Museum tower. Now word on the street has it that A-list couple David and Victoria Beckham are spreading their real estate wings over to the South Florida coast, having doled out $80 million for an all-new modern mansion overlooking Biscayne Bay on Miami Beach’s exclusive North Bay Road.

      As first reported by The Real Deal, the Beckhams—he a retired soccer star-turned-co-owner of the MLS team Inter Miami, and she a fashion and beauty mogul who first gained popularity in the 1990s as a member of the pop group Spice Girls—are currently under contract to purchase the Choeff Levy Fischman-designed digs. The seller is Hamptons-based spec developer Niklas de la Motte, who picked up the property in 2018 for $10 million from the trust of the late Sir Edward Porter and his wife Lady Anna Lee, co-founders of Miami International Fine Arts College (now Miami International University of Art and Design). The listing is held by Dora Puig of Luxe Living Realty.

      Lighted steps lead to the front door, which opens into 12,500 square feet of open-concept living space.

      Choeff Levy Fischman

      Nestled amid a gated parcel spanning over a half-acre, the Bart Reines-built abode that currently stands in the stead of a former 1920s Mediterranean-style house offers nine bedrooms and 13 baths in a little more than 12,500 square feet of living space on two levels. Stylish interiors by Antrobus Design Collective are adorned throughout with Ipe wood, Perlato marble, metal accents, and doors and windows framed in dark bronze, while posh amenities include an office, a movie theater, a gym and spa, and a rooftop deck providing bay and city skyline views, as well as a three-car garage with lifts and a private dock resting along 124 feet of waterfront footage.

      Among the other standout features is a dramatic entryway boasting a pair of reflecting pools and a cascading waterfall, plus a central courtyard donning yet another reflecting pool complemented by a two-story living green wall. There’s also a spacious living room sporting a linear fireplace and floor-to-ceiling pocketing glass doors spilling outside, along with a formal dining room, a sleek gourmet kitchen with a trio of islands and a commercial-grade walk-in refrigerator, and an opulent primary suite decked out with a luxe bath flaunting dual vanities and a soaking tub.

      Sitting out front are a duo of glassy reflecting pools and an attached three-car garage with lifts.

      Rounding it all out are the palm-laced grounds, which host a lengthy infinity-edge pool abutting a marble-clad terrace spotlighted by a covered al fresco entertaining area with an outdoor kitchen.

      In addition to their new Miami Beach home and their $20 million condo at downtown Miami’s Zaha Hadid-designed One Thousand Museum residential high-rise, the Beckhams also lay claim to a $40 million townhouse in London and a $15 million country estate in the Cotswolds. More

      An Instagram Celeb Lists His South Florida House for $4.2 Million

      by

      After three years of ownership, Josh Ostrovsky is ready to offload his coastal oasis in South Florida’s tony Miami Shores enclave, just minutes from downtown Miami. Records show the social media influencer-turned-canned wine mogul—known to his 9.5 million Instagram fans as “The Fat Jewish”—has hoisted the midcentury-modern house up for sale at $4.25 million, or nearly double the $2.5 million he and wife Caitlin King paid for the place a little over three years ago, in summer 2021.

      Originally designed by noted architect Joseph J. DeBrita and completed in 1950, the sprawling white stucco and stone-accented structure rests amid an angled corner parcel spanning nearly half an acre. Recently renovated, the so-called Panorama House offers five bedrooms and an equal number of baths in a little more than 3,800 square feet of two-level living space boasting terrazzo floors and wood-beam ceilings.

      The living room has a stacked-stone fireplace and large windows overlooking the lush grounds.

      Lifestyle Production Group/ONE Sotheby’s International Realty

      Highlights include a living room displaying a stacked-stone fireplace and a bar, plus a dining area with glass doors opening out to a vast hexagon-shaped loggia featuring a newly installed barbecue station. Also standing out is the sleekly designed Italian kitchen outfitted with an eat-in island and top-tier appliances, as well as a primary suite that comes complete with a walk-in closet and a spa-like bath sporting a steam shower and a floating vanity with dual sinks.

      Elsewhere is a separate guest suite, along with a large window-lined flex space that’s currently being used as a screening/recreation room. In addition to the aforementioned loggia, the landscaped grounds also host a 42-foot pool with a Baja shelf. Per the listing, which is shared by George Burns and David Pullman of ONE Sotheby’s International Realty, there’s also a two-car garage and plenty of room for a tennis/pickleball court.

      A sweeping hexagon-shaped loggia out back is ideal for lounging and entertaining.

      Lifestyle Production Group/ONE Sotheby’s International Realty

      According to the New York Post, the couple is selling because Ostrovsky doesn’t want to be a homeowner anymore. “It’s a lot of work, with landscaping and all, and he’s coming from New York and not used to it,” Burns told the media outlet. “Maybe he’ll find another deal. But he’s a very transient person and he could land anywhere after this.” 

      Born in New York City and previously dubbed by Time magazine as one of “The 30 Most Influential People on the Internet,” Ostrovsky is probably best known for his risqué memes and viral videos. But he also co-founded a canned wine brand that was acquired in 2019 by beverage giant Anheuser-Busch in what was the company’s largest wine investment ever made at the time.

      A Stylish Country Club Estate in South Florida Seeks $4 Million

      by

      Way back in the 1940s, Sherle Wagner came up with the idea to open a small closet accessories shop in New York City with his wife Rose. Soon after, the pair decided to capitalize on a dearth of luxury products in the mostly functional bath market and began designing imaginative and glamorous offerings ranging from 24-carat gold-plated dolphin faucets to hand-painted basins and even gold-plated toilet seats, all of which attracted the likes of Frank Sinatra, President John F. Kennedy, King Hassan of Morocco, and Saudi billionaire Adnan Khashoggi.

      Their Manhattan-based Sherle Wagner company went on to expand internationally before selling to $2 billion home products giant Masco in 1989 for an undisclosed sum. It was around this same time that the Wagners doled out $300,000 for a 1.4-acre plot of land in South Florida, where they built a custom contemporary home. Now the late couple’s stylish West Palm Beach residence has popped up on the market for the first time in nearly four decades, asking a speck under $4 million. The listing is held by Alexa Hammer and Brian Fairweather Jr. of The Agency.

      Naturally, the Wagner’s West Palm Beach home is outfitted with the ultimate in luxury baths.

      Completed in 1989 and fronted by an attached two-car garage and an extra bay for a golf cart, the all-white structure is nestled amid a cul-de-sac parcel tucked away in The Enclave, an exclusive double-gated community within West Palm Beach’s Breakers West Country Club. Inside, a palatial 5,660 square feet of living space holds five bedrooms and seven baths rife with one-of-a-kind Sherle Wagner creations, plus marble floors, soaring ceilings, bespoke cabinetry, and walls of glass overlooking scenic lake and golf course views.

      Especially standing out is an art gallery-cum-foyer that flows to a living room displaying a striking floor-to-ceiling marble fireplace. Other highlights include a formal dining room topped with a mirrored ceiling feature and a sky-lit kitchen outfitted with sleek cabinetry, an eat-in island, top-tier appliances, and a breakfast nook. There’s also a media room sporting a burl wood bookcase and a sizable primary suite with a seating area, a walk-in closet, and not one but two luxe baths.

      The resort-like grounds feature a large heated pool surrounded by a sundeck.

      Rounding it all out are the lush tropical-inspired grounds, which host a large heated pool complemented by numerous spots ideal for al fresco lounging and entertaining. There’s also an option to become a member of Breakers West Country Club, which is set within a 670-acre wildlife sanctuary and comes complete with an 18-hole Rees Jones golf course, Har-Tru tennis courts, a sports and activity complex, and several restaurants.

      After the acquisition of his company, Wagner, who maintained homes in Manhattan and West Palm Beach, remained active in the business until his death at age 79 in March 1997. His wife of 50 years passed away in July 2023. She was 104 years old.

      Tom Brady’s Former Center Hikes His South Florida Home on the Market for $3.2 Million

      by

      Much like Tom Brady, the legendary quarterback he loyally snapped the ball to as center of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Ryan Jensen—aka, the “Red Tornado”—also is staying busy off the field after leaving the NFL. Following in the footsteps of his former teammate, who’s dabbled in several business ventures since officially hanging up his cleats in early 2023, the recently retired NFL player has embarked upon a new career as a residential developer and is currently in the final stages of building a 20,000–square-foot home in his native state of Colorado. That means Jensen no longer has a need for his South Florida digs, so he’s hoisted his residence in Tampa’s affluent Davis Islands community up for sale.

      Jensen, who serves as a managing partner and co-owner of the Tampa-based design/build company Gilk, acquired the then-newly built residence for just over $1.5 million back in 2018, shortly after he signed a four-year, $42 million contract with the Bucs. Now, six years later, the place has returned to the market with a $3.2 million ask. The listing is held by Eric Dungy and Jon Fincher of Compass.

      Resting on just under a quarter-acre of land, the two-tone stucco and wood-sided structure was completed by Javic Homes and features five bedrooms and an equal number of baths in 4,500 square feet of living space boasting dark hardwood floors and high ceilings throughout. Double front doors open into a lengthy entrance hallway, which flows to a spacious rear great room spotlighted by a living area that has French doors spilling out to a covered al fresco dining terrace sporting a built-in barbecue station.

      Back inside, a formal dining room connects to the gourmet kitchen, which is furnished with an eat-in island, top-tier stainless appliances, and an oversized walk-in pantry. Other main-level highlights include a large bonus room that’s currently set up as a TV-viewing space and an en-suite guest bedroom.

      Upstairs, a landing area doubles as a lounging spot and four additional bedrooms include a primary suite with two walk-in closets, as well as a spa-like bath outfitted with dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a separate shower. Outdoors, a screen-enclosed backyard holds a pool flanked by a raised spa on one end and a fire pit on the other, while an attached three-car garage with an EV charger sits out front. Per the listing, a golf cart also is included as part of the sale so buyers can tool around in “Super Bowl champ style.”

      Retired from the NFL as of early February after 11 years due to missing most of the last two seasons with a knee injury, 33-year-old Jensen was originally selected in the sixth round of the 2013 draft by the Baltimore Ravens. He went on to play for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where the Pro Bowler helped Brady and the team capture its second Super Bowl title in 2021.

      “The NFL chapter of my life is coming to a close,” Jensen said via his Instagram account. “As this chapter closes and I reflect on every aspect of my career, it makes me proud. In the hard times and good, there is always something special to learn. Retiring from the game you have loved from a very young age is always hard. I am excited for this next chapter and the new opportunities and challenges it will bring.”

      NFL Star Nick Bosa’s South Florida Condo Is Up for Grabs at $1.75 Million

      by

      After four years of ownership, Nick Bosa has decided to say goodbye to a South Florida condo in his hometown of Fort Lauderdale. The NFL star is asking a speck under $1.8 million for the townhouse-style residence, which comes complete with ocean views and access to a secluded beach. The listing is held by the player’s mother, Cheryl Bosa of Engel & Völkers.

      Acquired by the All-Pro defensive end for $1.24 million—shortly after he was chosen second overall in the 2019 draft by the San Francisco 49ers and subsequently inked a four-year, $33.6 million contract—the two-level unit lies on the fourth and fifth floors of the five-story 30 Thirty North Ocean luxury boutique residential building, which was completed in summer 2020 by Cavache Properties and designed by Adache Group Architects. Featured are three bedrooms and four baths in a little more than 2,000 square feet of modern living space displaying a mix of marble and wood floors, high ceilings, and walls of glass. All the furnishings are available for purchase at a negotiated price.

      A private elevator entry flows into an open-plan great room holding a living area boasting sliding glass doors spilling out to a balcony. An adjacent dining room connects to the kitchen, which is outfitted with Italian-style cabinetry, stone countertops, a center island, an eat-in peninsula, Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, and a wine fridge and built-in espresso maker. A glass-lined staircase heads downstairs, where a spacious primary suite features its own balcony, as well as dual walk-in-closets and a spa-inspired bath with dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a shower.

      Topping it all off are plenty of building amenities—courtesy of a $1,568-per-month HOA charge—which include a clubhouse with fitness center, a pool and spa, and a barbecue and picnic area. There also are two assigned parking spots, one with a Tesla charger.

      Bosa, the son of former NFL player John Bosa and the younger brother of Joey Bosa, who is currently a linebacker for the Los Angeles Chargers, agreed to a record five-year, $170 million contract extension with the 49ers in late 2023. That means the 26-year-old Florida native is the highest-paid defensive player in NFL history, with an average annual salary of $34 million. He is rumored to be looking for a new home on the West Coast.

      A Ritzy South Florida Penthouse Sells to Local Philanthropists for $17.3 Million

      by

      It’s not Billionaire Bunker, but it’s still pretty spiffy! After seeking a pied-à-terre in South Florida to replace their $87 million Indian Creek mansion that just went to Jeff Bezos, retired banker Javier Holtz and his wife Andria have settled on a swanky Piero Lissoni-designed penthouse at The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Miami Beach.

      The couple’s 10,000-square-foot, seven-bedroom, seven-bath spread sold to Bezos as part of an off-market deal in late May, adding to two other waterfront estates the billionaire Amazon founder recently picked up on the exclusive man-made barrier island known as Billionaire Bunker for a total of roughly $234 million. In turn, the Holtzes doled out $17.3 million for a fully furnished residence, which spans the top floor of the building, an eight-story luxury condo and villa development currently occupied by Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, MLB Hall of Famer Mike Piazza, and American Eagle CEO Jay Schottenstein.

      As first reported by The Real Deal, the seller was an LLC tied to James and Amy Dieterich of White Plains, N.Y. Originally listed for nearly $20 million in December 2023, the ritzy pad went to the wealthy philanthropists at an impressive discount; though it’s still around $2 million more than the Dieteriches paid for the place over three years ago, back in early 2021.

      A formal dining room sits next to a floor-to-ceiling wine cabinet.

      Once they make themselves at home in their new four-bedroom, five-bath digs, the Holtzes will enjoy almost 6,000 square feet of living space boasting sleekly designed interiors complemented by blonde hardwood floors and high ceilings, plus floor-to-ceiling walls of glass and a wraparound balcony providing sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean and Biscayne Bay. Glitzy amenities include an office, a custom wine cabinet, a built-in barbecue station, and a pool and spa flanked by a street art mural, along with access to a climate-controlled garage and a 40-foot boat slip.

      Among the other highlights: a slatted-wall entry foyer adorned with a pedestal displaying a colorful sculpture. There’s also a glass-lined great room hosting a formal seating area that connects to an entertainment space on the other side via a bespoke TV console, a spacious dining room, a family room, and an eat-in kitchen outfitted with an island and top-tier appliances. An opulent master retreat comes complete with a walk-in closet, a luxe bath sporting an enclosed wet room holding a soaking tub and a rainfall shower, and a separate lounging space leading out to a private patio with a hot tub.

      Topping it all off are plenty of building amenities, courtesy of a hefty $12,753 monthly HOA charge, which include a concierge, a roof deck hosting a pool and cabanas, a meditation garden, a spa and fitness center, and a private marina.

      Cuban-born Holtz is the retired chairman and CEO of Marquis Bank, which was sold to Professional Bank in 2020. Also a son of the late Abel Holtz, a Miami civic leader and multimillionaire founder of Capital Bank, and his widow Fana, Javier and his wife Andria are widely known for their support of local institutions like the Jackson Health System, where a children’s hospital is named for his father.

      The Penthouse 1 listing was held by Grace Dieterich of Coldwell Banker, with Andrew Holtz and Nancy Batchelor of Compass representing the buyers.
