Ken Griffin Revealed As Buyer Behind The Record Breaking $106 Million Deal For Adrienne Arsht's Bayfront Estate

When a residential sale crossed the $100 million threshold for the first time in Miami-Dade County history in August as The Arsht Estate sold for $106,875,000, many wondered who the mystery buyer was. It has been revealed that multi-billionaire hedge fund magnate Ken Griffin, who founded and recently moved Citadel Securities from Chicago to Miami, was the buyer in the mega-transaction for the four-acre waterfront compound which was formerly owned by Adrienne Arsht. Ashley Cusack with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices EWM Realty represented Arsht and Jill Hertzberg of The Jills Zeder Group with Coldwell Banker represented the undisclosed buyer later revealed to be Griffin.

Neighbored by the historic Vizcaya Museum, The Arsht Estate encompasses more than 25,000 square feet of exquisitely detailed structures. Overlooking Biscayne Bay from atop one of Miami’s highest bayfront elevations, it features more than 400 feet of water frontage, as well as panoramic views of Key Biscayne and downtown Miami. Throughout the years, the property -- often referred to as South Florida’s “embassy” -- has been the backdrop for numerous important events and gatherings involving international luminaries, including U.S. presidents, ambassadors, and world leaders. The Arsht Estate features two connected estates, a primary residence, known as Indian Spring, which was built by Arsht in 1999 and designed by Jose A. Gelabert-Navia; as well as Villa Serena, which was built in 1913 by former U.S. Secretary of State and three-time U.S. presidential candidate William Jennings Bryan and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

After announcing earlier this year that both Citadel and Citadel securities will move to Miami from Chicago, Griffin has been on a buying and expansion spree. Citadel signed a lease for 95,000 SF at OKO Group’s 830 Brickell office tower. At roughly the same time, through an entity Griffin acquired the adjacent 1250 Brickell Bay Drive and 1260 Brickell Bay Drive for $20 million, the lots total roughly 6,655 SF. The lots are adjacent to 1221 Brickell Avenue, which an entity tied to Citadel reportedly acquired in June 2022 for $286.5 million.

The assemblage of properties spanning from 1221 Brickell Avenue to 1250-1260 Brickell Bay Drive is across the street from 1201 Brickell Bay Drive, which Citadel was revealed as the buyer of after Tibor Hollo’s Florida East Coast Realty sold the 2.5 acre supertall development lot in a $363 million mega-deal also in April 2022. The price equated to $145 million per acre, $3,340 PSF dirt value. Citadel is planning to develop the property with the Chicago-based developer Sterling Bay.

Ken Griffin’s net-worth is estimated to be about $31 billion and he has been one of the largest luxury property buyers in the world over the past several years. Also in Miami, Griffin has spent years and $170 million acquiring a Star Island assemblage. He made a splash when he acquired 8 Star Island Drive, a teardown built in 1993 on 1.8-acres, for $75 million. The sale set record for single-family home sales in Miami-Dade County at the time, a record Griffin is no stranger breaking. Griffin has also acquired the adjacent 10 Star Island for $25 million and 11 and 12 Star Island Drive in an off-market deal for roughly $37 million and 13 Star Island for $32.5 million. The acquisitions total $170 million.

In 2015 Griffin purchased two penthouses in Faena House on Miami Beach for a record at the time $60 million, he later sold them off for a combined $46 million. In 2019 Griffin purchased a $240 million unit at 220 Central Park South in Manhattan, NYC, in a deal that broke the record for the most expensive residential transaction ever recorded in the U.S. In Palm Beach Griffin has assembled $350 million of land at Blossom Way and South Ocean Blvd. where he began buying in 2012.

Two Roads Development Reveals Plans For EDITION Residences, Miami Edgewater

South Florida-based Two Roads Development has announced plans for EDITION Residences, Miami Edgewater, the brand’s first independent collection of fully serviced luxury condominium residences. Located at 2121 North Bayshore Drive in the heart of Edgewater, one of Miami’s premier neighborhoods for luxury high-rise living, the 55-story waterfront tower will offer more than 800 linear feet of bay frontage and uphold the quality of design, services, and amenities, signature to the EDITION brand. Soaring 649 feet high, The Residences will feature 185 bespoke homes showcased in a sleek glass tower designed by visionary architect Bernardo Fort-Brescia, founder of Arquitectonica, with acclaimed interiors by Studio Munge led by Alessandro Munge. Construction is slated to begin in Summer 2023, with an estimated delivery timeframe of 36 months.

Over the last decade, Two Roads Development has helped transform Miami’s Edgewater district into one of the city’s most sought-after residential neighborhoods.

Sales and marketing for EDITION Residences, Miami Edgewater is being exclusively represented by Douglas Elliman Development Marketing.

The tower’s impeccably finished residences will range from one-bedroom-plus-den to four-bedroom floorplans measuring between 1,952 and 3,864 square feet in size, priced from $1.7 million. Marking the pinnacle of luxury, the tower will also feature three expansive tri-level penthouses, each with private rooftop pools and gardens.

Designed for indoor-outdoor living, spacious terraces will boast unobstructed views of Biscayne Bay, the Atlantic Ocean, Downtown Miami and the Miami Beach skyline.

A globally recognized design team, Studio Munge, curated a place-making aesthetic that draws inspiration from the brand’s sleek and modern aesthetic. The tower’s interiors will exude warmth and tranquility, marrying timeless sophistication with contemporary design for an effortless living experience with unrivaled service. Bernardo Fort-Brescia’s architectural design for the tower responds to its waterfront location, revealing a crystalline moon-like glass prism that alludes to Biscayne Bay’s romantic moonlight, while floorplans reference the prows of sleek sailboats racing off Miami’s coastline. The property will also feature an array of secret gardens with lush greenery designed by global landscape architecture firm EDSA to capture the soft bay breeze and tranquility of a tropical oasis.

Deeply rooted in hospitality, the residential development will introduce over 45,000 square feet of expertly-thought-out amenity spaces managed and operated by EDITION. Aimed to incite wellness and relaxation, The Residences will feature two resort style pools equipped with private cabanas as well as a state-of-the-art fitness facility with private training studios, areas for yoga and spinning, and a rich spa program.

Residents can live, work, play and entertain guests comfortably at the tower’s club lounge, library, private screening room, dog spa and park, children’s play area, and kids club. For a heightened level of convenience while hosting guests, the property will also boast six Guest Suites which can be reserved by residents.

Additional perks give jetsetter residents access to exclusive privileges across the world’s most iconic destinations, including VIP status and preferred rates at hotels within Marriott International’s luxury portfolio of brands.

Overlooking Biscayne Bay from atop one of Miami’s highest bayfront elevations, it features more than 400 feet of water frontage, as well as panoramic views of Key Biscayne and downtown Miami. Throughout the years, the property -- often referred to as South Florida’s “embassy” -- has been the backdrop for numerous important events and gatherings involving international luminaries, including U.S. presidents, ambassadors, and world leaders.

The Arsht Estate’s primary residence, known as Indian Spring, was built by Arsht in 1999 and designed by Jose A. Gelabert-Navia, the former Dean of the University of Miami School of Architecture.

Designed by architect August Geiger, the home also has unobstructed Biscayne Bay views and was carefully restored by Arsht to reflect its original glory. Its unique design includes two ornate staircases, which access private upstairs sleeping quarters, as well as a detached guest house situated above a three-car garage.

Arsht, a native Delawarean, divides her time among Washington, DC, Miami, and New York. In Miami, she was Chairman of the Board of TotalBank. Arsht’s vast philanthropy includes the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts in Miami; The Atlantic Council's Adrienne Arsht Latin America Center and Adrienne Arsht-Rockefeller Foundation Resilience Center, each located in Washington, DC; the Adrienne Arsht Stage at Alice Tully Hall in New York's Lincoln Center; and funding for the first all-paid internships at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
