Discover South Florida LIVE

Join real estate broker Larry Mastropieri, owner of The Mastropieri Group, and John Laws of Discover South Florida for a breakdown of the deals, the disasters, and the policy fights reshaping the South Florida market this week.The headliner: Floyd "Money" Mayweather's former Palm Island estate just resold for $18.5 million — about $3.5 million below what it last traded for. But the headline flips when you read the fine print. Mayweather bought at $18M in 2021 and sold at $22M in 2024, so he made money. The loss belongs to the seller, an LLC tied to Black Spruce Management's Josh Gotlib — who happens to be tangled up in Mayweather's separate $175 million fraud suit against his former adviser. We break down the 10,800-square-foot waterfront trophy at 288 South Coconut Lane, and what Palm Island's recent run of $23M to $150M listings says about the ceiling on Miami Beach's most exclusive island.Then, the money moving through the region: Related Group cashing out of Aventura City Center, handing BH Group and The Apollo Companies a project that's pivoted from condos to a 248-unit rental tower plus a 153-room Marriott hotel. Plus Affiliated Development's $74 million construction loan for The Cove in Fort Lauderdale — 376 units, 55% workforce — against the same developer's $6 million ask for The Jax in Hollywood. Two projects, two very different funding realities.The drama files: Apollo-affiliated lenders filed a $417.7 million foreclosure on the Mandarin Oriental Residences in Boca Raton — and condo buyers' deposits are directly in the line of fire. Larry walks through exactly what options a preconstruction buyer has when this happens, and what belongs in your contract before you ever wire a dollar.Also on the board: West Palm Beach freezing waterfront rezoning for six months while Deerfield Beach votes to loosen its beachfront rules, and Alida Residences breaking ground with 181 rentals and a Tribute Portfolio by Marriott right next to the Brightline station.======00:00 Introduction00:48 Floyd Mayweather’s Former Palm Island Estate Resells at a Loss12:02 Related Group sells stake in Aventura City Center mixed-use development20:58 Affiliated Secures $74M Loan for 376-Unit 'The Cove' in Fort Lauderdale31:27 Affiliated Requests $6M from Public for The Jax' in Hollywood46:33 Mandarin Oriental Boca Goes to Foreclosure Auction59:02 Deerfield Loosens Building Rules as WPB Enacts 6 Month Freeze01:06:52 Alida Residences Begins in West Palm Beach======

The World Cup is over, football season is coming, and the money never stopped moving. Join real estate broker Larry Mastropieri, owner of The Mastropieri Group, and John Laws of Discover South Florida for a full breakdown of the stories reshaping this market right now.President Trump's four South Florida properties generated roughly $265 million in the first year of his second term — Mar-a-Lago, Trump National Doral, and the golf clubs in Jupiter and West Palm Beach — according to his latest federal financial disclosure. That's about a tenth of his reported $2 billion-plus in 2025 income, and worth noting these are reported revenue figures, not profit. We break down the per-property numbers, the approved $3 billion Trump Doral International Towers plan (1,498 condos across four towers), and the downtown Miami land set aside for a presidential library.Speaking of big money on the island: a New York Giants co-owner just paid $12.5 million for a Palm Beach penthouse at Leverett House — a six-unit building that somehow now houses two NFL owners, since Robert Kraft bought in for $23.8 million back in 2022. We'll get into why boutique buildings trade at that kind of premium.Then the building boom: E11EVEN sold out in 90 days and the developers responded by adding a 550-unit second tower in downtown Miami; Dependable Equities secured a $54 million pre-construction loan for two ODA-designed skyscrapers in Fort Lauderdale totaling 1,460 residences; and 21 Hollywood launched pre-leasing on 200 rentals along the Federal Highway corridor.Plus the drama files: Mandarin Oriental Boca buyers are winning in court — a $1.98 million judgment, a $2.1 million settlement, 13 lawsuits, and a hotel bankruptcy auction scheduled for today. Larry breaks down what preconstruction buyers should learn from it. And in West Palm Beach, the self-driving airport transit pitch got pulled after commissioners balked at a $1 million feasibility study.======00:00 Introduction00:23 Giants co-owner buys $12.5M Palm Beach penthouse11:57 Trump's South Florida holdings generated ~$265M18:12 E11EVEN's 90-day sellout added 550 units27:41 Two ODA towers headed for Fort Lauderdale34:12 Mandarin Oriental Boca buyers are winning in court45:10 21 Hollywood nears early 2027 delivery53:31 West Palm's self-driving airport transit gets paused======

While Brazil was sent home early in this World Cup, one of the country's greatest former champions is settling into an oceanfront view. Join real estate broker Larry Mastropieri, owner of The Mastropieri Group, and John Laws of Discover South Florida for a fast, funny run through the biggest stories reshaping the South Florida market right now.Brazilian legend Kaká — 2002 World Cup winner and 2007 Ballon d'Or — just paid $8.7 million for an oceanfront condo at Oceana Bal Harbour. As Brazil crashes out of the 2026 World Cup (their first time missing the quarterfinals since 1990), Kaká plants a flag at 10201 Collins Avenue: a 3,350-square-foot, three-bedroom unit on the 14th floor with Atlantic and Biscayne Bay views, bought roughly $800,000 under ask. We break down the deal, what it says about global soccer money flowing into South Florida, and why the World Cup buying frenzy agents predicted has been quieter than expected.Then we follow the money up the coast: Orlando developer Chuck Whittall is under contract to buy the entire La Fontana co-op on West Palm's Flagler Drive for close to $200 million — the latest domino in the post-Surfside buyout wave. Kolter and Boston's Rockpoint are teaming up on The Sutton, a 432-unit apartment community in Palm Beach Gardens. And Charles Cohen just landed a $180 million permit to revive the stalled West Palm Point office tower after fighting foreclosure battles on two coasts.That comeback sets up the drama files: the oceanfront Hillsboro Beach Resort hits the auction block July 16 after a $40 million foreclosure judgment — the opposite outcome, and a case study every investor should hear. Plus, Miami votes unanimously to challenge Florida's Live Local Act in court, escalating the state-versus-cities zoning fight, and Fort Lauderdale narrowly approves a new $217 million city hall.======00:00 Introduction01:35 Kaká buys at Oceana Bal Harbour10:03 Miami moves to challenge the Live Local Act17:25 Chuck Whittall's $200M La Fontana buyout30:45 Kolter + Rockpoint's 432-unit 'The Sutton'38:51 Cohen Brothers revive West Palm Point post-foreclosure49:39 Anatomy of the Hillsboro Beach Resort foreclosure01:00:04 Fort Lauderdale backs a revised $217M city hall

Join real estate broker Larry Mastropieri, owner of The Mastropieri Group, and John Laws of Discover South Florida for a fast-moving look at the deals, dramas, and policy shifts reshaping the South Florida market right now.This episode's headliner: a James Bond superfan just listed his personal Delray Beach residence — "Villa Skyfall" — for a staggering $85 million, and if it sells anywhere close, it would smash the Delray single-family home record. We tour the nearly 23,000-square-foot estate at 16121 Quiet Vista Circle in Stone Creek Ranch — the guard-gated enclave locals call "Billionaires' Row" — from its museum-grade car gallery and hidden poker lounge to the 309-inch theater and Amazon-rainforest wellness wing. We break down why developer Aldo Stark keeps setting and re-setting the local ceiling (his last record-setter, the Ferrari-themed "Casa Maranello," sold for $55M), and why boldface neighbors like Steve Cohen and Mark Wahlberg are the demand engine behind these prices.Then, the rule change every South Florida builder is watching: Gov. DeSantis just expanded the Live Local Act again — the fourth year running — opening city, county, school-district, and church-owned land to by-right affordable housing.Next, the money moving through the region: Simon Property Group's plan to replace Boca's dead Sears with a 197-room hotel and 374 apartments at Town Center; The Berkeley breaking ground in West Palm Beach after topping $120M in sales on an inland, Clear Lake–facing tower; and Related Group, BH Group — and possibly Terra — targeting Hollywood's century-old oceanfront "Grand Lady" for a 398-unit, reported ~$100M redevelopment.Plus, the drama files: Costco just got rejected 4-3 at Pompano's 223-acre "The Pomp," and Wellington's $90M Lotis project has devolved into three partner lawsuits and more than $5M in liens (Tiger Woods' PopStroke already walked).======00:00 Introduction00:45 Bond-Themed Estate Lists for $85M in Delray Beach06:19 DeSantis expands Florida's Live Local Act again17:00 Simon Group to Replace Boca's Town Center Sears30:40 'The Berkeley' 25-Story Tower Breaks Ground in WPB39:42 Related Group Eyes Century-Old Hollywood Resort50:54 Pompano Board Rejects New Costco at 'The Pomp'58:36 Lawsuits & Liens Stall Wellington's Lotis Project

Real estate broker Larry Mastropieri, owner of The Mastropieri Group, and John Laws of Discover South Florida do deep dive into the stories reshaping the South Florida market right now.Donald Trump Jr. and his new wife, Bettina Anderson, are building an eight-bedroom custom estate in West Palm Beach — and their choice to plant roots on the mainland instead of the island of Palm Beach says everything about where this market is heading. We break down the reported $15 million Intracoastal lot, the Trump family's full South Florida footprint, and why West Palm keeps climbing the prestige ladder.We're also covering the biggest federal housing bill in decades — the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act that just cleared Congress and its 350-home cap on Wall Street landlords (and why Trump hit pause on signing it). Then it's a tour of the money moving through the region: Terra and BH Group's $100M waterfront play on North Flagler, BH Group's $20.8M Polo West purchase in Wellington, and Kolter's Alton Delray groundbreaking — a 386-unit community backed by a $92 million loan.Plus, the drama files: the unfinished Mandarin Oriental Boca hotel heading to bankruptcy auction with $210M+ in claims, and why St. Andrews Country Club told Boca Raton "no thanks" on annexation — a story every buyer in an unincorporated pocket needs to hear.
