The $5 million and up market of luxury homes in Miami-Dade included a diverse mix of buyers and sellers as of late: French banker Olivier Sarkozy, Elon Musk\u2019s attorney Alex Spiro, and developer Ana Codina.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Property records show Sarkozy, whose half brother is former French President Nicolas Sarkozy and who was previously married to Mary-Kate Olsen, paid $5.2 million for a non-waterfront home on North Bay Road<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n Jean Marie Echemendia and Andrew Kouri, as trustees, sold the four-bedroom, four-bathroom house, which spans nearly 3,000 square feet. Echemendia, a real estate agent with Douglas Elliman, was the listing agent. One Sotheby\u2019s International Realty agent Lucia Marin represented Sarkozy, according to the listing. The 0.2-acre property previously sold in 2011 for $1.5 million.\u00a0<\/p>\n In a separate deal, Spiro, a prominent attorney and partner at Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, sold his penthouse at Two Park Grove in Coconut Grove for $6.3 million. Alex and Kate Spiro sold the 2,600-square-foot, three-bedroom and four-bathroom condo at 2821 South Bayshore Drive to a trust.\u00a0<\/p>\n Elliman\u2019s Daniel Dougherty and Annie De La Rosa were the listing agents.\u00a0<\/p>\n Alex Spiro\u2019s clients have included Musk<\/a>, actor Alec Baldwin and former New York City Mayor Eric Adams.\u00a0<\/p>\n Spiro is representing Musk with his lawsuit the Securities and Exchange Commission brought against him last year, which they recently agreed to settle. Musk\u2019s trust agreed to pay a $1.5 million civil penalty. The SEC alleged that Musk, the world\u2019s wealthiest man, violated securities law in his bid to purchase Twitter, now called X. (Musk recently toured a waterfront estate in Miami Beach, according to<\/a> Page Six.)\u00a0<\/p>\n In another deal, developer Ana Codina<\/a> sold her non-waterfront home at 5400 Banyan Trail in Coral Gables to a company linked to Raysa Fanjul for $7.7 million. The 6,800-square-foot home has six bedrooms and eight bathrooms and was built in 2000. Compass\u2019 Ben Moss represented Codina in the deal. Raissa Herrara, with Douglas Elliman, represented the buyer.\u00a0<\/p>\n Fanjul is married to sugar billionaire Alfonso Fanjul Jr. The Fanjul family<\/a> owns Domino Sugar.\u00a0<\/p>\n
