An entity linked to Nicolas Caputo paid $11.9 million for two units at Turnberry Ocean Club in Sunny Isles Beach.

Records show Boca 36 LLC bought units 4003 and 4004 in the oceanfront condo tower from Beach Club Acquisition LLC, the developer. Boca 36 LLC is managed by Nicolas M. Caputo and Agustina Lhez.

Caputo is an Argentine construction businessman with close ties to Argentina’s former president Mauricio Macri, according to published reports. He was also the former vice president of Argentina’s political party PRO.

Caputo and Lhez‘s units are on the 40th floor of the 54-story, 154-unit tower at 18501 Collins Avenue, developed by Jeffrey Soffer’s Fontainebleau Development.
