In the latest roundup of South Florida luxury residential deals, investors and developers bought and sold homes across the region.
Deals stretched from Miami Beach to Fort Lauderdale, and ranged in price from $7.8 million to $8.4 million.
Miami Beach
In Miami Beach, spec developer Todd Glaser bought a non-waterfront home designed by Carlos B. Schoeppl for $7.8 million, he confirmed.
Glaser bought the house at 3500 Flamingo Drive from Michael and Sylvia Kanoff. The Kanoffs moved to Miami in 1999 to renovate the Charles Group portfolio of hotels, according to Sylvia Kanoff’s website.
They bought the house that year for $1.2 million, records show. The house was built on 0.7 acres in 1934, and spans 6,100 square feet, with five bedrooms, four bathrooms and a pool, according to property records.
The Kanoffs first listed the home for $13.6 million last year and slashed the price several times, Realtor.com shows. Glaser plans to renovate the home and relist it, he confirmed.
Nelson Gonzalez of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices EWM Realty represented both the buyer and the seller.

In Coral Gables’ gated Cocoplum neighborhood, developers sold a renovated home for $8.4 million.
Records show 180 Golden Island LLC, a Florida entity managed by A2S CEO Andres Siso and Angel Nicolas, sold the house at 180 Isla Dorada Boulevard to Nerton Ltd., a British Virgin Islands entity. The buyer financed the purchase with a $3.9 million loan from Banesco USA.
Nerton Ltd. is managed by Francisco A. Aristeguieta, the head of global banking for Scotiabank. He was previously an executive vice president and CEO of institutional services at State Street Corporation and helmed Citibank’s Asia division, according to LinkedIn.
Siso and Nicolas bought the Cocoplum home for $3.7 million in 2022, property records show. It was built on 0.4 acres in 1996 and spans 5,200 square feet, with four bedrooms, five bathrooms, one half-bathroom and a pool, according to records.
