Former Linebacker for the Miami Dolphins Sells Miami Beach Home for $6.25 Million

Orlandus Andre Branch III is a former outside linebacker for the Miami Dolphins, who played from 2016 until his retirement in 2019. Branch recently sold his mansion for $6.25 million after purchases in 2019 for $2.8 million. What an investment!

Located just a couple blocks from Biscayne Bay in the Nautilus neighborhood at 4535 Nautilus Court in Miami Beach. The modern mansion features 6,000 square feet of professionally designed living space.

The 6 bedroom, 6.5 bathroom new construction home features European oak and marble floors throughout and high-end kitchen appliances. The home is completely finished with a steam room, media area, and tall ceilings throughout.

The exterior is perfect for entertaining with an expansive backyard with lush Florida landscaping featuring an outdoor kitchen, oversized terraces, pool, and jacuzzi. The mansion is perfectly located near South Beach, Bal Harbour, and the Design District.

According to Miami-Dade tax records, the home closed on September 3rd, to buyers Bryant M. Yunker Jr. and wife Nancy. Bryant is a retired Wall Street Broker. The Yunker’s also own Sway Lounge, located in Naples, Florida.

This property is the highest-priced sale for a non-waterfront home in the Nautilus neighborhood. This record-breaking sale is just one of the many that have occurred in Miami in 2021.

In July, a waterfront mansion sold as the highest-priced home sale ever in all of Miami-Dade. Bay Harbor Islands also had a record-breaking sale of $12.75 million on a recent waterfront home, making it the highest-priced sale in all of Bay Harbor. Our very own, Lucas Lechuga, also sold one of the highest-priced condo sales for the month of August 2021 at Setai South Beach for $12.3 million.

Holy Hard Rock: Miami Dolphins’ Stadium is Renamed Hard Rock Stadium

Hard Rock Hollywood California, via Hard Rock.

And the stadium of eight names (see if you can remember them all) will stay Hard Rock Stadium for at least a dozen years and perhaps a whole lot longer reports Herald sports columnist Armando Salguero, Could this mean more headliners in the halftime shows? Only time will tell.

Behold, the Miami Dolphin’s Big New Stadium Gets Built in One Epic Time-lapse Video

The massive reconstruction and renovation of the Miami Dolphins’ Stadium, formerly known as Sun Life Stadium, Pro Player Stadium, and Jo Robbie Stadium, and now officially just Miami Stadium, is at the end of the 4th quarter, with seconds left on the clock. Going into overtime is not an option. Set on a stadium completion date of September 1st, in time for the first game of the season, the high-performance, genetically-modified playing turf went down on the field two days ago, at breakneck speed, as one of the finishing touches, reported the Miami Herald. Called Platinum TE Paspalum, it’s durable, shade tolerant, and soft enough that players might even  “enjoy” cutting, landing, and being tackled on. It’s the future of lawns.

The entire stadium construction has been a highly choreographed, almost-theatrical spectacular, however, long before grass installation became sexy. Luckily, somebody time-lapsed the whole thing into about two minutes of pure, Gatorade-hydrated speed. The final product, created by a YouTuber known only as Ian693, is a mind-racing, wicked rush.
