The former CEO of a self-storage company sold a waterfront home on the Venetian Islands for $18.4 million.

Records show 1325 NV Way LLC sold the four-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bathroom home at 1325 North Venetian Way to The 1325 Venetian Land Trust Agreement, with Miami Beach real estate attorney Eric A. Jacobs as a trustee.

The seller is controlled by Oswell Dean Jernigan, the founder and former CEO of Memphis-based Jernigan Capital. Jernigan founded the company in 2014 and retired at the end of 2020. Investment management firm NexPoint Advisors acquired Jernigan Capital for $900 million last year, according to a press release about the acquisition.

Jernigan and his wife, Kristi, purchased the Miami Beach property for $3.5 million in 2013 and transferred ownership to an LLC in 2020, records show.
