An oceanfront Pompano Beach mansion fetched $13.8 million, making it the city\u2019s most-expensive single-family home sale ever.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The sale of the 7,760-square-foot home at 2306 Bay Drive broke down to $1,780 per square foot. It shattered the previous record set by the sale of a home at 2593 Southeast Eighth Street for $10 million, according to Premier Estate Properties estate agent Kevin Kreutzfeld, who represented the buyers in the deal.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Seattle developer Harold Griffith and his wife, Joan Griffith, bought the property from an affiliate of developer Leathem Stearn<\/a> after selling their home in Fort Lauderdale for $21.8 million.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That home was a 10,100-square-feet waterfront mansion built in 2018. It housed Griffith\u2019s 145-foot Christensen superyacht. This is the first time the home has sold, the South Florida Business Journal reported<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Now the Griffiths are putting down roots in Pompano Beach.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The home was built in 2004, and it has five bedrooms, six-and-a-half bathrooms, a four-bay garage, a movie theater and a gym. It also has a pool with a water slide, rope swings and a swim-up bar.<\/p>\n

Replicating the home, with its direct oceanfront access and lighthouse view, would cost a fortune, Kreutzfeld said.<\/p>\n

The sale reflects Pompano Beach\u2019s luxury development boom, as high-end brands flock to the city\u2019s untapped coast. Projects<\/a> like The Ritz-Carlton Residences, W Hotel and Waldorf Residences have already snapped up oceanfront sites, while developers continue to target the area for its relative affordability compared to neighboring markets.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Pompano Beach has invested<\/a> millions of dollars into upgrading infrastructure, revitalizing public spaces and bringing in massive mixed-use commercial projects, according to the City of Pompano Beach.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The transformation is catching developers\u2019<\/a> eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Pompano Beach \u201cis becoming a world-class destination and bringing in a whole new wave of wealth,\u201d Kreutzfeld said. \u201cIt is quite a great value compared to what some of the sites in Sunny Isles and Miami are going for, and developers are seeing that value.\u201d<\/p>\n

Home buyers see it too.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kreutzfeld said this sale establishes a \u201cnew benchmark\u201d for Pompano Beach\u2019s ultra-luxury market. He expects to see many more eight-figure home sales in the near future. Pompano\u2019s previous record-holder, which sold in 2023, is back on the market for $15 million.\u00a0<\/p>\n
