Miami Heat’s Tyler Herro breaks Pinecrest record with $11M home purchase

Weeks after dropping a career-high 41 points on the Houston Rockets, Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro just set a record off the court.

Herro paid $10.5 million for a non-waterfront home in Pinecrest, The Real Deal has learned. A company managed by Jeffrey Cahill sold the eight bedroom, eight-and-a-half bathroom mansion off of Southwest 124th Street to a trust managed by Ronald Brown II, property records show. Herro is the owner of the trust, according to a certificate of trust.

The NBA player’s trust financed the purchase with a $7.4 million mortgage from HSBC Bank.

The sale exceeds the $10.3 million Pinecrest record set earlier this month by the sale of 6155 Southwest 106th Street.

Herro’s 9,500-square-foot house was built last year on a nearly 1-acre lot. The Cahill-led entity paid $5.3 million for the property while the house was under construction, meaning it sold the home for nearly double what it paid. The house includes a gourmet kitchen, wine cellar, summer kitchen, cabana, pool and media room, according to the listing. It was on the market for $11.9 million.

Herro recently signed a four-year, $120 million contract with the Heat. The shooting guard was drafted by the franchise in 2019 after one year of college basketball at the University of Kentucky, and last season was named the NBA’s Sixth Man of the Year, an award that’s given to the league’s best player who came off the bench as a substitute.
