An ocean-to-Intracoastal estate in Manalapan sold for $29.1 million.
Records show G. John Krediet sold the property at 1780 South Ocean Boulevard to a Delaware corporation, 1780 SOB LLC. The buying entity took out a $20 million loan from First Republic Bank, according to records. James Robinson signed as the borrower.

Krediet is also chairman of Clairvest Group and Can-Eng Furnaces International Limited, according to his LinkedIn page.
A venture capitalist with the same name as the buyer is the founder and general partner of RRE Ventures, an early-stage venture capital firm headquartered in New York City. Robinson’s father, James Robinson III, was formerly CEO of American Express and is also a partner at RRE, according to Forbes.
Krediet purchased the 1.9-acre property in 2010 for $4 million, records show. He filed to construct a new house in 2011. It was finished in 2013.
The mansion was listed in April for $35 million. Nicholas Malinosky and Randolph Ely of Douglas Elliman represented the seller, and Suzanne Frisbie, formerly of Premier Estate Properties and now with the Corcoran Group, represented the buyer.

The nearly 2-acre property features 160 feet of ocean and Intracoastal Waterway frontage, as well as a beach house and private dock, according to the listing.

Last month, spec home developer Pascal Nicolai bought an oceanfront lot for $9.9 million, and the CEO of Cantor Companies sold his mansion for $28 million. In March, the Ziff family sold an estate for $94 million that was originally listed for just under $200 million.
