The condo was listed for $11 million in November, according to Redfin. Eloy Carmenate and Mick Duchon of Corcoran had the listing. Chad Carroll of Compass has the rental listing, according to Compass’ website.

Frankel has made real estate moves in South Florida. He bought a waterfront spec mansion in Miami Beach for $14 million in 2020, and sold a penthouse at One Ocean in South Beach for $6.5 million last year.

The 20-story, oceanfront W South Beach condo-hotel was completed in 2009.

It has been home to real estate developers, restaurant executives and architects. The late architect Zaha Hadid had purchased three units and combined them into one. She lived there while she designed the One Thousand Museum condo tower in downtown Miami. Ray Bassiouni, of ATI Systems, bought Hadid’s unit from her estate for $5.8 million in 2018, and listed it for $8 million last year.

In 2019, former Roadhouse Grill CEO Ayman Sabi sold his W South Beach unit for $7.2 million.

Last year, entertainment electronics tycoon Jeff Walker bought an upper penthouse at W South Beach for $9.3 million.
