Assumpção owns Lider Afonso Assumpção, a major aircraft charter and sales company in Brazil. His Miami Sunrise Properties sold the 37,000-square-foot site, which was previously being marketed for sale as “The Boulevard,” a boutique luxury condo building designed by Bernard Zyscovich. The listing stated that the site was zoned for 150,510 square feet, 16 stories high, with more than 130 commercial or residential units.

Assumpção’s company also owns the Wendy’s property across the street at 3333 Biscayne Boulevard, which was not included in this deal. In 2013, he sold nearly a block of land in Brickell for $20.25 million to Alliance Residential Company.

The Edgewater assemblage that just sold is near the Related Group’s Paraiso District, where closings are underway. The bayfront development includes more than 1,400 condo units. Crescent Heights, led by developer Russell Galbut, also owns a number of buildings along Biscayne Boulevard in Edgewater.
