Catalfumo Companies enlarged its planned Ritz-Carlton Residences project’s acreage in Palm Beach Gardens by acquiring an adjacent waterfront mansion.

An affiliate of Palm Beach Gardens-based Catalfumo paid $18.5 million for a 2.4-acre estate with a seven-bedroom home at 11309 Ellison Wilson Road, records and Vizzda show. The property was marketed as a teardown, according to a Zillow listing. 

Judge Moss with Sotheby’s International Realty represented the seller, Seija Regelmann. She was added to the estate’s deed in 2004 by her late husband, Robert Regelmann, who died last year, records show. The previous sale price is not listed in records. 

The 8,700-square-foot mansion was listed for sale in February for $25 million, the Zillow listing shows. A pending sale at the list price in April fell through.
