Unrestricted Free Agent, Carlos Boozer, Sells Coconut Grove Mansion for $5.5M

Carlos Boozer Miami Heat

Tuesday afternoon, The Los Angeles Times reported that Carlos Boozer, the unrestricted free agent of the Utah Jazz, recently sold his Coconut Grove mansion for $5.5M.  The home was purchased by him and his wife, CeCe, for $7.3M in 2007.  The 7,002 square foot Mediterranean-style estate has 5 bedrooms, 5 full baths, 2 half baths and a 3-car garage.  Despite the recent sale, there is still speculation that Boozer will sign with the Miami Heat this off-season.  Carlos Boozer had also been the former owner of a 25th floor condo at Jade Brickell which he sold for $1,385,000 in 2006.

Miami Real Estate Review – Episode 7

In this episode, we provide an update regarding the developer blowout sale at The Plaza on Brickell that started last Thursday. We also touch upon pricing at Icon Brickell and discuss news regarding Marquis. We end the show by highlighting four noteworthy foreclosures that came onto the market since last Friday.

Penthouse B at The Setai Sells for $15M

The Setai Penthouse B

Last Friday, Penthouse B at The Setai sold for $15M, or $2416 per square foot.  No word yet on who acquired the breathtaking, South Beach luxury penthouse.  The previous owner purchased the unit directly from the developer in 2004 for $9.5M.  From my knowledge, the recent sale is the highest priced condo sale to ever take place in Miami-Dade County.

For inquiring minds, Penthouse A at The Setai came onto the market this past April.  The unit has the same square footage as Penthouse B.  The asking price is $27M, or $4349 per square foot, which currently makes it the second highest priced condo listing in Miami-Dade County.
