Indian Creek Village, Miami-Dade County
The largest residential sale in Miami-Dade County history. Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan purchased this 28,000 sq ft estate — still under construction at closing — from cosmetic surgeon Dr. Aaron Rollins and his wife Marine Rollins. The property sits on approximately 2 acres on Indian Creek Island, known locally as the "Billionaire Bunker" — a 300-acre private island with its own police force and 18-hole golf course. Neighbouring residents include Jeff Bezos, Tom Brady, and Ivanka Trump. The estate was designed by Ferris Rafauli.[1]
Star Island, Miami Beach
Developer Vlad Doronin sold his 2.5-acre Star Island estate to Michael Ferro of Merrick Ventures in March 2025. The 22,000 sq ft estate — which Doronin had purchased from Shaquille O'Neal for $16M in 2009 — features a tennis court, pool, and dock. This sale held the Miami-Dade County record until the Zuckerberg transaction closed.[4]
9 Indian Creek Island Road & 5940 North Bay Road, Miami Beach
Two simultaneous nine-figure closings defined summer 2025. In June, the 1.8-acre waterfront lot at 9 Indian Creek Island Road — adjacent to Jeff Bezos' properties — sold for $105M. In July, developer Todd Glaser and the Posner Group paid $105M for the 2.3-acre waterfront estate at 5940 North Bay Road. The North Bay Road purchase is earmarked for redevelopment with a potential target resale of up to $250M.[4]
North Palm Beach, Palm Beach County
William Wrigley Jr., heir to the Wrigley chewing gum fortune, sold this waterfront compound in North Palm Beach. The dual-parcel estate represents one of the year's largest transactions outside of Miami-Dade, confirming that Palm Beach County's luxury market operates at a national level independent of Miami's billionaire concentration.[4]
La Gorce Island, Miami Beach
La Gorce Island represents Miami Beach's quieter prestige tier — less headline-driven than Star Island or Indian Creek, but deeply understood by experienced ultra-high-net-worth buyers. Controlled access, waterfront orientation, and a neighbourhood identity built on discretion rather than celebrity. The $74M+ closing at La Gorce confirms that this enclave continues to trade at nine figures while maintaining its low profile.[5]
When Miami Beach and Indian Creek set nine-figure records, the appreciation pressure ripples north. Sunny Isles Beach — 10 minutes from Indian Creek — is the direct beneficiary. Buyers priced out of Star Island or seeking oceanfront without a Miami Beach address increasingly target Sunny Isles' ultra-luxury towers. Aventura, directly adjacent, captures the overflow demand from buyers who want the school zone, the lifestyle, and the access without the trophy price tag.

Their expertise in how record transactions in Miami Beach and Indian Creek translate into value shifts in adjacent markets is what drives their clients' decisions.
