UPDATED, 11:55 a.m., Dec. 5: Shakira’s mom has a new neighbor.
A waterfront spec home on Miami Beach’s North Bay Road sold for $16.5 million in an all-cash deal, a nearly 30 percent discount off the 2016 asking price, The Real Deal has learned. Property records reveal the buyers are Eric and Kimberly Dalius. Eric, a marketing executive, has been tied to alleged pyramid schemes, according to published news reports.
Spec home developer Felix Cohen built and sold the 11,500-square-foot mansion at 3114 North Bay Road. His sons, Julian and Jacques Cohen of Compass, co-listed the property. Alison Zhuk of Douglas Elliman represented the buyer.
The Cohens listed the property in February 2016 for $22.9 million. It was last on the market for $18.5 million, according to Realtor.com. Records show her neighbor is an LLC managed by Shakira’s mother, Nidia Ripoll.
“Everybody wanted these high numbers, but what I found, which I was trying to convey to the seller, is you have to price it really competitively to [sell],” Julian Cohen said. After he reduced the price in October, he got it under contract within three weeks.
