A Jade Signature penthouse was recently sold for $23.5 million. Buyer Adam Weitsman, owner and CEO of Upstate Shredding – Weitsman Recycling, connected with agent Chad Carroll, president of The Carroll Group, on Instagram. Sandra Chartouni with Fortune International Realty represented the seller and they closed the deal virtually.

“This sale is a testament to the power of social media in real estate,” said Carroll. “My social pages have become an invaluable tool to connect with buyers and sellers from around the world and I am seeing more deals than ever before directly converting from my strong online presence.”

Jade Signature in Sunny Isles Beach experienced a record price with this sale. The building was developed by Fortune International Group, who provided quick and attractive financing to the buyer through sister company Vaster. Vaster provides private loans for premier residential properties in Florida and New York.

“We believe the buyer has acquired one of the best penthouse properties in all of Miami at Jade Signature,” said Edgardo Defortuna, CEO & President of Fortune International Group. “Not only is the home over 11,000 square feet of space but it encompasses a full-floor with a continuous balcony and stunning 360-degree oceanfront views.”

On the first level is the main master bedroom with double sitting areas, master study, midnight bar, his and hers bathrooms, and his and hers dressing areas. The double master suite has a private elevator connecting to the second-floor entertainment lounge which includes a midnight bar, full bathroom, and sauna and steam room.

The three-time Grammy-winning artist purchased his Coral Gables mansion in 2018 for $19 million. Anthony bought the home from Hilda Maria Bacardi, great-great granddaughter to the founder of the titular liquor company, who spent eight years overseeing its construction. In 2016, the finished home was listed on the market for $27.26 million. A year later, the price was reduced to $25 million before Anthony purchased the property at an even lower price of $19 million.

Anthony’s real estate journey has come full circle as he bids farewell to his former home. In September of 2020, the Coral Gables property was listed at $27 million. When the steep asking price failed to attract potential buyers, the cost was lowered to $22.4 million and the deal was closed.

Designed by Rafael Portuondo, the 20,546 square foot mansion spans 1.3 acres and features 12 bedrooms, 13 full bathrooms, and two powder rooms. The Mediterranean style interior highlights a lavish living space, formal dining room, family room, eat-in kitchen with dual islands, and butler’s pantry. The master suite presents a seating area and two bathrooms. Decorative elements of the home include coffered ceilings, arched doorways, and windows with natural lighting pouring into every room. Other perks include an elevator, wine cellar, gym, and staff quarters. The property set on the exclusive Islands of Cocoplum offers scenic views of the Coral Gables Waterway and gardens. Outdoor entertainment options include a summer kitchen, covered terraces, a heated pool, and a spa.

Marulanda, CEO of Luxury Homes Connect at ONE | Sotheby’s International Realty, says, “these are deals that mark the start of a new era in Miami. It’s exhilarating to represent America’s wealthiest individuals and help them navigate this new landscape while achieving record-breaking sales for our sellers in Miami, which seems to be the world’s hottest city for relocation right now.”

The new owners will enjoy over 6,000 of indoor square feet of this South Florida gem while having access to the services and amenities of a 5-star resort at the Ocean House. With five bedrooms and six bathrooms, the home is on 7,197 square feet of lot size. It also has two sunrise terraces, one sunset terrace, a movie theater, and a glass-encased Wine Vault enclosing a hidden home office.

"The Beach House is a two-story residence within a boutique building that has the whole space and feel of a single-family home," adds Marulanda. "It's what I call the ultimate hybrid property because it can satisfy the safety, privacy, and amenities of a secure building. As much as the single-family market is absolutely killing it and stealing the show, there are a lot of people who come from cities used to being in condos and the families sometimes don't feel as secure and comfortable without having the assets that a building has. This property, you cannot make it up. There is nothing like it in South of Fifth which is such an elite neighborhood.”
