The billionaire CEO of Summit Pharmaceuticals and his partner/co-CEO paid $33 million for a penthouse in Brickell, marking a price record for condo sales in the city of Miami. 

Robert Duggan and Dr. Mahkam Zanganeh acquired the 11,000-square-foot, five-bedroom and seven-and-a-half-bathroom condo at Echo Brickell, sources told The Real Deal.

Greg Kiley, chairman and CEO of Ohio-based Velocity, sold the penthouse at 1451 Brickell Avenue, property records show. It went into contract last week. 

Compass agents Chad Carroll and Matthew Dugow represented the seller. Engel & Völkers Miami agent Stephan Hermida represented the buyer. 

The penthouse comes with six parking spaces, two storage units, an indoor sky pool and 28-foot ceilings, according to the listing.

The sale sets a price record for condo sales in Miami, excluding new development deals in the works. A number of new luxury condo projects in the presales or construction phase could break that record once they are completed. 

Duggan’s fortune is largely thanks to a sharp rise in Summit Therapeutics stock price this year, up nearly 700 percent so far this year, according to Bloomberg, which first reported the buyers’ identity. He is worth about $13.1 billion, according to Forbes. Summit is a Miami-based biopharmaceutical company that develops therapies to treat cancer.
