Former Site of Al Capone's Historic Palm Island Estate Sells For $21 Million
The former site of Al Capone’s longtime Miami Beach estate has traded for $21 million, marking the latest chapter for one of the city’s most historically recognizable residential properties. Located at 93 Palm Avenue on Palm Island, the now-vacant waterfront property features 100 feet of frontage on Biscayne Bay. The site was previously home to the sprawling estate once owned by the notorious Prohibition-era crime boss before the residence was demolished in 2023.
The former site of Al Capone’s longtime Miami Beach estate has traded for $21 million, marking the latest chapter for one of the city’s most historically recognizable residential properties.
Located at 93 Palm Avenue on Palm Island, the now-vacant waterfront property features 100 feet of frontage on Biscayne Bay. The site was previously home to the sprawling estate once owned by the notorious Prohibition-era crime boss before the residence was demolished in 2023.
The $21 million transaction represents a significant increase from the property's previous $15.5 million sale price.
According to public records, Jordan Karp of Jordan Karp LLC and Joel Lusky of The Brokerage South Florida represented the seller in the latest transaction. Mirce Curkoski and Albert Justo of ONE Sotheby’s International Realty represented the buyer.
Beyond its waterfront location, the property carries a distinctive place in Miami Beach history because of its connection to Capone. According to public records previously reported by PROFILEmiami, Capone acquired the Palm Island estate in 1928.
The original Colonial-style residence was built in 1922 and was part of an approximately 30,000-square-foot home. After acquiring the estate, Capone reportedly invested approximately $200,000 at the time into improvements that included a gatehouse, seven-foot wall, searchlights, cabana and coral rock grotto.
The property remained with the Capone family for decades. Following his ownership, the estate remained in the family until 1952, when it was sold by his wife, Mae Capone.
More than 70 years later, the century-old residence was demolished in August 2023 following a prolonged debate surrounding its potential historic preservation and vulnerability to flooding.
The demolition followed a change in Florida law that limited the ability of local preservation authorities to prevent owners from demolishing certain single-family homes in designated flood zones or properties situated below base flood elevation when the owner opposed historic designation.
Check out PROFILEmiami’s tour of the original residence before demolition.
Previous owners and developers had maintained that the aging residence was approximately three feet below sea level, experienced recurring flooding and required substantial repairs. Following the change in state law, the Miami Beach Historic Preservation Board canceled a scheduled evaluation hearing after losing jurisdiction over the property under the new regulations.
With the historic residence now gone, 93 Palm Avenue represents a vacant waterfront development opportunity on Palm Island, pairing 100 feet of Biscayne Bay frontage with a location tied to one of the most infamous figures of the Prohibition era.
The latest $21 million sale effectively begins another chapter for the property nearly a century after Capone first acquired the Miami Beach estate.

Bruce Springsteen Drummer Max Weinberg Sells Rare Intracoastal Waterfront Land Assemblage in Ocean Ridge For $13 Million
Legendary Bruce Springsteen E Street Band drummer Max Weinberg has sold one of the largest remaining residential land assemblages on the Intracoastal in Ocean Ridge. Nick Malinosky and Michael O'Connor of The Exclusive Group at Douglas Elliman represented both the seller and buyer in the $13,000,000 transaction and declined to comment on the sale.
Legendary Bruce Springsteen E Street Band drummer Max Weinberg has sold one of the largest remaining residential land assemblages on the Intracoastal in Ocean Ridge. Nick Malinosky and Michael O'Connor of The Exclusive Group at Douglas Elliman represented both the seller and buyer in the $13,000,000 transaction and declined to comment on the sale.
The sale included the adjoining parcels at 7 and 9 Sabal Island Drive, combining for more than 33,000 square feet with approximately 325 feet of direct Intracoastal frontage. The offering presented a rare opportunity to build a custom waterfront estate or family compound in one of Palm Beach County's most exclusive waterfront enclaves. The property features deep-water dockage, direct ocean access via the Boynton Inlet in minutes, a recently completed seawall, and infrastructure already in place for future development.
As inventory of premier waterfront land continues to shrink throughout Palm Beach County, buildable parcels have become some of the market's most sought-after assets. While trophy homes continue to command record prices, many ultra-high-net-worth buyers are bypassing existing residences altogether in favor of acquiring land where they can design fully customized estates tailored to their lifestyles.
The transaction also reflects the continued evolution of Ocean Ridge, a town that has quietly emerged as one of South Florida's most desirable luxury waterfront destinations. With limited opportunities to assemble sizeable Intracoastal parcels, transactions of this scale remain exceptionally uncommon and continue attracting buyers seeking privacy, boating access, and the ability to create one-of-a-kind legacy properties.

The residence offers a collection of luxury amenities tailored for both entertaining and everyday living, including expansive formal and casual gathering areas, a state-of-the-art movie theater, a chef's kitchen with an oversized walk-in pantry, and a three-car garage. The primary suite serves as a private retreat with dedicated elevator access, an oversized sitting room overlooking the pool, and an expansive custom dressing room.
Outside, tropical landscaping surrounds a resort-style swimming pool, covered summer kitchen, and multiple outdoor lounge and dining spaces, creating a private setting inspired by the atmosphere of a luxury resort.
According to property records and listing information, the residence contains 11,625 square feet of actual area, 9,695 square feet of adjusted area, and occupies a 38,768-square-foot lot.
Herro was selected 13th overall in the 2019 NBA Draft out of the University of Kentucky and has become one of the league's top young guards during his NBA career. His accolades include being named the NBA Sixth Man of the Year in 2022, earning his first NBA All-Star selection in 2025, and helping lead the Miami Heat to multiple deep playoff runs, including an appearance in the 2020 NBA Finals.
The listing provides buyers with an opportunity to acquire a recently completed luxury estate in one of South Florida's most sought-after residential communities, while adding another notable athlete-owned property to Miami's high-end real estate market.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs Sells 1 Star Island Waterfront Estate for $55 Million
Sean "Diddy" Combs has sold one of his two waterfront estates on Miami Beach's prestigious Star Island in an off-market transaction valued at $55 million, according to property records. The sale involves the bayfront residence at 1 Star Island Drive, a property Combs acquired in 2021 for $35 million. Public records show the seller was an entity tied to Combs, while the buyer is JFStar LLC, a Virginia-based company led by John A. Franklin.
Sean "Diddy" Combs has sold one of his two waterfront estates on Miami Beach's prestigious Star Island in an off-market transaction valued at $55 million, according to property records.
The sale involves the bayfront residence at 1 Star Island Drive, a property Combs acquired in 2021 for $35 million. Public records show the seller was an entity tied to Combs, while the buyer is JFStar LLC, a Virginia-based company led by John A. Franklin. The acquisition was financed in part with an $18.5 million loan from Axos Bank.
The sale price is approximately $20 million higher than the property's recorded 2021 purchase price. Property records also indicate Combs continues to own the neighboring estate at 2 Star Island Drive.
The property traded in an off-market transaction, a common approach for many of South Florida's highest-priced residential sales, where privacy often takes priority over traditional public marketing.
Situated on approximately 1.3 acres at the entrance to Star Island, the estate offers roughly 240 feet of Biscayne Bay frontage and panoramic views of the Miami skyline. The property includes a two-story main residence and separate guest house totaling nearly 8,000 square feet of living space.
Originally constructed in 1940 and expanded in the mid-1990s, the compound features a private dock, swimming pool and spa, outdoor entertaining areas, and recreational amenities including a basketball court.
Before acquiring the property, the estate had long been owned by Gloria and Emilio Estefan, who used it as a guest residence while maintaining their primary Star Island home nearby. The couple sold the property to Combs in 2021 for $35 million, the purchase was financed with a $20.7 million loan from Bank of America.
The sale is the latest notable transaction on Star Island, where limited inventory and high-profile ownership continue to attract ultra-high-net-worth buyers. The approximately 30-home island remains one of South Florida's most exclusive residential addresses, with record-breaking sales and continued demand reinforcing its position among the country's premier luxury waterfront communities.

Sean Hannity's Billionaire's Row Ocean-To-Intracoastal Manalapan Estate Hits Market For $44.9 Million
Fox News Host Sean Hannity’s sprawling ocean-to-Intracoastal estate at 1840 S Ocean Blvd in Manalapan has entered the market for $44,900,000, immediately becoming one of the most high-profile offerings in one of America’s most exclusive waterfront enclaves.
Fox News Host Sean Hannity’s sprawling ocean-to-Intracoastal estate at 1840 S Ocean Blvd in Manalapan has entered the market for $44,900,000, immediately becoming one of the most high-profile offerings in one of America’s most exclusive waterfront enclaves. Listed with Nick Malinosky and Jessica Julian of Douglas Elliman, the nearly two-acre compound stretches from 150 feet of direct Atlantic Ocean frontage to 150 feet along the Intracoastal Waterway, placing it among a rare collection of true ocean-to-lake properties in a town where inventory is extraordinarily tight and demand continues to surge at the ultra-luxury level.
The Mediterranean-style residence spans more than 12,000 square feet under air and close to 20,000 total square feet, with eight bedrooms and more than ten bathrooms designed for both privacy and large-scale entertaining. A long gated drive leads to formal living and dining rooms with sweeping water views, expansive terraces built for sunrise-to-sunset entertaining, and resort-style grounds featuring a pool, spa, and lush tropical landscaping. Across the dunes, a private beach cottage offers direct sand access, while on the western edge of the property a full Intracoastal dock provides deep-water access for boating and yachting, delivering the kind of dual-water lifestyle that defines this stretch of coastline.
Manalapan itself has quietly evolved into what many now call “Billionaire Beach,” drawing an elite roster of high-net-worth residents seeking privacy outside Palm Beach’s more visible social scene. Oracle founder Larry Ellison has assembled a sweeping oceanfront portfolio in the town, Tony Robbins maintains a significant waterfront estate nearby, and Billy Joel has long been associated with the area’s luxury real estate scene. With multiple trophy properties trading in the $70 million to $100 million range in recent years, the barrier to entry has climbed dramatically, solidifying Manalapan as one of the most powerful micro-markets in the country.
Against that backdrop, 1840 S Ocean Blvd stands out not only for its celebrity ownership but for its scale, land value, and coveted ocean-to-Intracoastal configuration, a combination that rarely becomes available in a town defined by scarcity.

Josh Flagg Lists Reimagined Mediterranean Villa on Miami Beach's Exclusive North Bay Road For $10 Million With Jordan Karp LLC
Flagg Family Capital, in partnership with Carolwood LP, has officially listed its newly rebuilt Mediterranean villa on North Bay Road for $10 million with Jordan Karp LLC, marking one of the most compelling non-waterfront offerings to hit Miami Beach this season.
Flagg Family Capital, in partnership with Carolwood LP, has officially listed its newly rebuilt Mediterranean villa on North Bay Road for $10 million with Jordan Karp LLC, marking one of the most compelling non-waterfront offerings to hit Miami Beach this season. The home, developed by Josh Flagg who has starred on Bravo’s Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles, and redesigned by BuiltIN Studio / Gary Eisner, sits directly across from David and Victoria Beckham’s $72.5 million bayfront compound—placing it in one of the corridor’s most exclusive pockets.
The 4,000-square-foot residence is positioned on a lush 10,000-square-foot lot with a gated entry and resort-style grounds. Inside, vaulted ceilings, new custom wood flooring, bespoke millwork, and a restored limestone fireplace create a warm modern Mediterranean aesthetic. The kitchen features white oak cabinetry, SubZero appliances, and Waterworks fixtures, while the bathrooms showcase travertine accents and custom detailing throughout. A detached pool house functions as a private wellness retreat with a sauna, cold plunge, outdoor shower, and powder room.
Flagg has been clear that the timing of the listing aligns with shifting political sentiment in New York, which he says accelerated his decision to bring the home to market through broker Jordan Karp of Jordan Karp LLC.
“The minute New York elected Mandahmi, I called my broker Jordan Karp,” Flagg says. “I didn’t even wait for the acceptance speech.” Since going live for $10 million, the listing has already generated immediate attention from local, domestic, and international buyers—mirroring a larger post-election migration pattern toward tax-friendly, lifestyle-driven markets like Miami and Palm Beach.
North Bay Road itself remains one of the country’s most prestigious residential streets, home to a roster of global entrepreneurs, investors, entertainers, and legacy families. With multiple recent trades above $70 million—and several pushing past the $100 million mark—the corridor has become synonymous with scarcity, exclusivity, and record-setting land values. Inventory is minimal, and any newly finished product tends to move quickly. Flagg and Carolwood LP's property, headed by Adam Rubin and Andrew Shanfeld, is located across the street from David Beckham's $72.5 million compound on Biscayne Bay.
Flagg describes the home as “essentially brand-new,” with every system, finish, and layout refined during the renovation. Though he maintains a significant real-estate footprint in both Los Angeles and New York, he views this Miami project as part of a broader strategy to position capital in markets with strong momentum. The ongoing influx of Northeastern wealth, alongside interest from London, California, and Europe, has only reinforced that conviction.
“But let me be clear, I love New York. It’s home half the month. I spend two weeks there and two weeks in L.A., and I still own plenty of real estate between Manhattan and Long Island. I’m not changing anything in New York, I’m just taking advantage of what’s happening in Miami. It’s called business.” Said Flagg.
With the listing now active with Jordan Karp LLC, the property adds another high-profile chapter to North Bay Road’s ongoing luxury surge. And while Flagg developed the residence as an investment rather than a personal residence, he hints that Miami remains firmly on his radar.
“Florida’s fine, it’s not going anywhere,” said Flagg. “Once the noise dies down, I’ll probably just buy everything back again. I invest where it’s the right place at the right time. The only things I’m emotionally attached to are Los Angeles, New York, and zoning laws… and Florida’s been on a waitlist for all three since the 1980s.”

Terra, led by David Martin, and co-developer Lion Development, led by Michael Simkins, have announced that the internationally-acclaimed Argentine polo player, model, and philanthropist Nacho Figueras, and his son, polo player Hilario Figueras, have signed a contract at Jean-Georges Miami Tropic Residences.

Figueras purchased Residence 3505, a 2,951-square-foot three-bedroom, three-and-a-half bathroom home listed for $3,116,000, which Hilario Figueras will use as a pied-à-terre.

Douglas Elliman is exclusively handling sales for Jean-Georges Miami Tropic Residences, and Nicole Cardona of Douglas Elliman represented this deal.
“Hilario brought this opportunity to me, and having long admired Jean-Georges and Terra’s renowned developments, it was one we couldn’t pass up,” said Nacho Figueras. “Jean-Georges Miami Tropic Residences offers everything polo players like us could ask for – a home where every detail is handled, blending lifestyle, services, and effortless living.”
“The Design District’s walkability, elegance, and vibrant culture, combined with Miami’s rise as a hub for health and wellness, make this the perfect home – a place that resonates with our lifestyle,” said Hilario Figueras. “When visiting Jean-Georges’ Four Twenty Five in New York, the attention to detail, service, and sophistication confirmed this new home was the right choice.”
Designed by award-winning architecture firm Arquitectonica, with interiors by internationally acclaimed design studio Yabu Pushelberg, the 48-story tower will offer 329 condominium residences and 27,500 square feet of ground-floor retail.

Interiors offer an overwhelming sense of calm through verdant greenery, textured fabrics, and natural materials; each space integrates shades of green and natural woods and stones, such as diabase, found in the tropics, similar to how Miami’s lush environment effortlessly blends with its art and culture-driven landscape.
“We look forward to welcoming Nacho and Hilario to the Miami Tropic community,” said David Martin, CEO of Terra. “In partnership with Jean-Georges, we’re curating more than just a residential offering. We’re building an immersive lifestyle shaped by culinary excellence, vibrant culture, and elevated service – which the chef and restaurateur has mastered throughout his career. The building is one-of-a-kind, and our buyers are taking notice.”
The Jean-Georges team-curated culinary experiences are integrated throughout the building in collaboration with Terra, Lion, and the designer, Yabu Pushelberg. These include not only curated menus at all resident amenities in the building but also involvement in the design of the amenity spaces. Jean-Georges Miami Tropic Residences' amenities span across five full floors and include an 8th-floor pool deck and adjacent resident-only restaurant and bar, rooftop pool, private dining room, archival library, juice bar, mini-market with a grab-and-go café, flowers and gifts, lounge spaces, and many other hospitality and wellness-driven areas throughout the building. The building's ground floor will house Jean-Georges' abc kitchens, a blend of his popular plant-forward restaurant abcV, Latin concept abc cocina, and abc kitchen.
Prominently located at the gateway between Midtown and the Miami Design District, and in close proximity to Wynwood, Jean-Georges Miami Tropic Residences will provide future residents with convenient, walkable access to luxury retail, dining, art, and culture. These colorful few blocks are accented by the artful storefronts of luxury retailers, eye-catching sculptural and architectural works like Sol Let Witt Sculpture Garden, Fly’s Eye Dome, and Daniel Toole’s Jade Alley, as well as immersive cultural experiences such as the Institute of Contemporary Art and BlackTower Gallery. Miami Tropic is also a short walk to multiple parks and playgrounds, many of them bayfront, including Paraiso Park, Martell Park, Roberto Clemente Park, Stearns Park, and Albert Pallot Park.

MLB Star Yoenis Céspedes Lists His Expansive Equestrian And Hunting Ranch in Port St. Lucie for $30 Million
Former Major League Baseball standout Yoenis Céspedes has listed his private Port St. Lucie estate, an expansive equestrian and hunting ranch spanning nearly 378 acres, for $30 million. Known as La Potencia II, a nod to Céspedes’ nickname, “The Power,” the property reflects the same intensity, ambition, and precision that defined his professional baseball career.
Former Major League Baseball standout Yoenis Céspedes has listed his private Port St. Lucie estate, an expansive equestrian and hunting ranch spanning nearly 378 acres, for $30 million. Known as La Potencia II, a nod to Céspedes’ nickname, “The Power,” the property reflects the same intensity, ambition, and precision that defined his professional baseball career. La Potencia II is listed with Julian Johnston and Lina Agosto of The Corcoran Group.
Built in 2018, the ranch is both a personal retreat and a fully functional sporting compound, designed to cater to equestrian pursuits, game hunting, and luxury living. At the center of the estate is a striking 15,785-square-foot modern residence, offering six bedrooms, four full bathrooms, and two powder rooms. The home’s design emphasizes open, airy spaces with soaring ceilings, a chef’s kitchen, and seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor living areas.
Beyond the main residence, La Potencia II includes over 31,000 square feet of built space across the property. Notable additions include a 12-stall horse stable with training yards, a private game processing facility, and a professional-grade batting cage — a testament to Céspedes’ roots in the sport that brought him international acclaim. Perhaps most uniquely, the estate features a custom-built barber shop, designed by Céspedes to maintain his grooming routine without leaving the ranch.
Outdoors, the grounds are tailored for both relaxation and sport. A 40-by-20-foot heated pool, spa, and screened patio sit amid tropical landscaping, while the vast acreage offers opportunities for horseback riding, training, and hunting wild boar and other game across miles of private terrain.
The property’s location offers a rare balance of privacy and accessibility. Though secluded, La Potencia II is just minutes from spring training facilities, making it especially appealing to professional athletes or those connected to the baseball world.
Céspedes, a two-time Home Run Derby champion and a key player in the New York Mets’ 2015 World Series run, has always been known for his explosive power and larger-than-life persona. The creation of La Potencia II reflects the same ethos — a space designed not only for performance but for escape, independence, and the cultivation of a lifestyle on one’s own terms.
With this listing, Céspedes offers a glimpse into the private world he built beyond the diamond — a property that embodies both his athletic legacy and his love for wide-open spaces.

The former site of Al Capone’s longtime Miami Beach estate has traded for $21 million, marking the latest chapter for one of the city’s most historically recognizable residential properties. Located at 93 Palm Avenue on Palm Island, the now-vacant waterfront property features 100 feet of frontage on Biscayne Bay. The site was previously home to the sprawling estate once owned by the notorious Prohibition-era crime boss before the residence was demolished in 2023.
