Going bare: European Wax Center co-founder sells Fisher Island condo for $16M
Josh and Jenni Coba own another Fisher Island unit they bought for $16.5M in June
The co-founder of European Wax Center — who listed his Estates at Acqualina penthouse for $85 million in November — sold a Fisher Island condo for $16.2 million.
Records show Josh and Jenni Coba sold unit 7611 in Oceanside at Fisher Island at 7600 Fisher Island Drive in Miami Beach, to a Delaware LLC named for the address. The true buyer is unknown.
Archie Drury of Douglas Elliman had the listing, and Jill Eber of the Jills Zeder Group at Coldwell Banker brought the buyer.
Josh Coba is the co-founder of European Wax Center, the waxing franchise company headquartered in Plano, Texas. Coba retired from his role at the company in 2017, and European Wax Center went public in May 2021, according to published reports.
The Cobas have been active investors in South Florida’s luxury residential market in recent years, particularly with luxury condos. In 2018, the couple entered into contract to purchase a penthouse in the Trump Group’s Estates at Acqualina condo development in Sunny Isles Beach. The Cobas are looking to reassign the contract for their unit, dubbed “Casa di Coba” according to the development’s website, for $85 million.
The Cobas also own two other Fisher Island properties, records show. They bought a unit in Bayview at Fisher Island for $16.5 million in June, and a condo at Seaside Villas on Fisher Island for $702,000 in February.
Records show they bought the Oceanside condo for $8.5 million in 2021. The nearly 4,900-square-foot unit spans four bedrooms, five bathrooms, and one half-bathroom, according to property records.
