David Guetta Buys Indian Creek Waterfront Mansion for $69 Million
David Guetta, a well-known DJ and producer, is under contract to purchase a beachfront spec mansion in Indian Creek that was recently listed for $69 million.
Guetta, who owns a condo at the Setai Miami Beach, reportedly sold his record collection to Warner Music for roughly $100 million two years ago. At the time, he had sold 50 million records and had more than 14 billion streams of music.
The celebrated French DJ is buying the almost 16,000 square foot, 12-bedroom estate at 37 Indian Creek Island Drive. The 1.2-acre property has 118 feet of water frontage. The property is being sold to Guetta by developer Todd Michael Glaser and his associates.
The Indian Creek property was sold to Glaser, Jim Randall, Scott Robins, and Jonathan Fryd two years ago for $23.8 million by longtime “Sábado Gigante” host Don Francisco. They started work on the spec mansion after demolishing the old residence.
Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner’s property, which they acquired for $24 million in 2021, is right next door to the residence.
Indian Creek, a gated community, is located north of Miami Beach. Additionally, multibillionaire hedge fund manager Eddie Lampert, musician Julio Iglesias, Hotels.com co-founder Bob Diener, and auto industry titan Norman Braman own homes at this exclusive neighborhood.
In an off-market transaction that established a record for Indian Creek in June, hotelier Tulia Soucy de Gonzalez Gorrondona sold her beachfront mansion at 11 Indian Creek Island Road for $68 million. For his neighboring mansion at 26 Indian Creek Island Road, seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady obtained a $35 million construction loan in that month.

Tom Brady Secures Construction Loan for New Residence at Indian Creek
Seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady obtained a $35 million construction loan for his residence in Indian Creek.
In late 2020, Brady and his then-wife, supermodel Gisele Bündchen, bought the parcel at 26 Indian Creek Island Road. Brady retired from the NFL for the second and final time this year. They paid $17 million for the almost 2-acre beachfront property through an LLC run by officials of Fontainebleau Development. Developer Jeff Soffer, owner of Fontainebleau Development, and Brady are close friends.
In order to start development on the land, Fontainebleau Development submitted two notices of commencement in 2021. According to the documents, Brady intends to build a two-story residence with a security building, gym, cabana, pool, sport court, emergency generator, and more.
Brady obtained the loan from JPMorgan Chase using a covert LLC. According to the mortgage records, the initial lender was San Francisco-based First Republic Bank. First Republic was taken up by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. in May and sold to JPMorgan Chase. It was the second-largest bank failure in American history.
Brady’s loan has a starting 8.25 percent yearly interest rate while it is being built. When it expires in June 2025, the borrower will probably refinance.
In South Florida, Brady and Bündchen intend to co-parent their children after announcing their divorce last year. They lived close in a four-bedroom, 4,300 square foot lakefront property at 29 Indian Creek Island Road before getting divorced. Brady then signed a lease for an opulent condo at the Surfside Fendi Château Residences project.
We’re not too far from Bündchen. Records reveal that in October, she paid $11.5 million via a trust for a seaside demolition at 1400 Biscaya Drive in Surfside. Brady is building a mansion on Indian Creek across the lake from the 6,600-square-foot home, which was completed in 1981 on a 0.4-acre property.
Billionaires Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, who spent $24 million two years ago to purchase a waterfront property on the island, billionaire Carl Icahn, billionaire hedge funder Eddie Lampert, Taubco CEO Irwin Tauber, billionaire Hotels.com co-founder Bob Diener, and billionaire IndiGo airline co-founder Rakesh Gangwal also reside in the small, gated community of Indian Creek.
Related Group Secures 18,000 Square Foot Lot in Edgewater for Development
Leading developer Related Group has purchased an 18,000-square-foot land piece in Edgewater, Miami, consisting of three adjacent sites in collaboration with Alex Karakhanian of LNDMRK.
The homes, which are located at 519, 525, and 535 Northeast 29th Street, are in a prime location and provide breathtaking views of Biscayne Bay as well as easy access to the MacArthur Bridge, which connects Edgewater to Miami Beach, and the I-195, which offers a direct route to Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach. The majority of the undeveloped plot cost $12 million to buy.
According to the President of Related, Nick Perez, “Related identified the growth potential of Edgewater years ago, when we delivered the transformational, four-tower Paraiso Bay community along with Edgewater’s first five-star waterfront restaurant, Amara at Paraiso.
Edgewater offers it all- prime waterfront views, world-class culinary offerings, and easy access to other key hubs, from the Design District to Miami Beach. This newest acquisition is another step forward in our efforts to solidify the area as a true hot spot.”
The site’s particular development plans are still a secret. The land, according to public records, is designated T6-36-A, which allows for the building of up to 36 floors and 150 units per acre. About 60 units might be created within the permitted parameters without the need for further bonuses.
Joel Rodriguez and Alex Suarez of Global Investment Realty served as the deal’s brokers, and PPD Edgewater LLC, run by Esteban Koffsman, was the seller. A well-known real estate firm called LNDMRK Development focuses on finding, acquiring, and building commercial, residential, and mixed-use developments all across the Southeastern United States. Along with The Dorsey and Nomad Residences Wynwood, both of which are in Wynwood, Related and LNDMRK are actively looking for more joint venture options throughout South Florida.
