There’s no soccer field, but Miami Beach’s tallest tower certainly delivers other goals when it comes to luxury living.
Italian coach and former star soccer player Alessandro Nesta — known as one of the greatest defenders of all time — and his spouse, Gabriela Pagnozzi, have purchased three one-bedroom, 1.5-bath units at Five Park Miami Beach, Gimme Shelter has learned.
The separate apartments — on the 19, 20th and 24th floors — asked a combined $4.3 million. It’s not yet known how much Nesta and Pagnozzi paid for the lofty aeries.

Most recently head coach of Serie A club Monza, Nesta says he loves Miami Beach’s “special energy” and the “incredible connectivity” that the 519-foot-high, 28-story residential tower at 500 Alton Road creates between South of Fifth and the rest of the city.
Two of Nesta’s three condo units come with ocean views, overlooking the bay and the park. They range from 878 to 1,000 square feet. All units feature chef’s kitchens with Italian oak cabinetry by Gabellini Sheppard and private terraces.
NBA forward Precious Achiuwa, formerly of the New York Knicks and the Miami Heat, who signed with the Sacramento Kings in November also owns in the building, Gimme previously reported.
Developed by David Martin’s Terra and Russell Galbut’s GFO Investments, Five Park is the area’s first new condo in more than a decade — with tons of health and wellness options, all adjacent to the 3-acre Canopy Park.
The tower boasts a sixth-floor oceanfront terrace with a poolside restaurant, Café Flora; a residents-only social club on the 26th floor; a library; outdoor terraces and gym areas. There are also co-working spaces, screening rooms and a beach club.
The building was designed by Arquitectonica, with Gabellini Shepard-designed interiors. Five Park’s in-house sales are led by Douglas Elliman Florida. Nesta was repped by Elliman’s Corrado Colini.
