The $19 million Delray Beach mansion that sold on Tuesday was purchased by a Miami Worldcenter developer.

William Powers, hedge-fund manager and Worldcenter co-developer, purchased the oceanfront estate at 901 South Ocean Boulevard, according to a published report. The home had been under contract for 40 days before construction finished a week ago.

A company titled Delray 901 S. Ocean sold the home. It purchased the property in 2013 for $6 million.
