Stefan Soloviev Sells Delray Beach Homes for $20.5 Million

Billionaire real estate scion Stefan Soloviev sold his two side-by-side homes on the water in Delray Beach for $20.5 million.

Soloviev sold the properties at 963 and 964 Eve Street, according to property records and the public listings for the homes. John and Ana Davie purchased the 7,500-square-foot, eight-bedroom house at 963 Eve Street for $15 million, according to the deed. The house sits on a 0.8-acre point lot with 450 feet of waterfront, a basketball half-court, football field, pool and spa, according to the listing.

John Davie is founder and CEO of Buyers Edge Platform, a food service data and tech company. Ana Davie is co-founder of the Davie Family Foundation.

Coldwell Banker’s Jonathan Postma represented Soloviev. Compass’ Roxanne Chirico and Holly Meyer Lucas represented the buyers.

Soloviev also sold the 3,500-square-foot, four-bedroom house at 964 Eve Street, which sits on a 0.2-acre lot, according to the listing. It includes a pool, home office and gym. The property traded hands for $5.5 million. The same agents were involved in this deal, suggesting it was sold to the same buyer.

Chirico said the buyers plan to keep both homes and will be living in the compound.

“For them, the backyard was the most important room for the family. It’s really rare to find the entire point lot,” she said, referring to the size and location of the property on the man-made island.

Soloviev made a tidy profit. He paid nearly $5 million for the larger home in 2020 and $3.4 million for the smaller house in 2023, records show.

The properties are in Delray’s Tropic Isle neighborhood, overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway. On the ocean, homes fetch for much bigger price tags: in October, developer Mark Pulte sold a spec mansion in Delray for $59 million.

Soloviev is the son of the late New York real estate mogul Sheldon Solow. After his father’s death in 2021, he folded Solow Building Company and Solow Realty into the real estate division of the then-newly formed Soloviev Group, which also has investments in hospitality, transportation and railroad, and agriculture and ranching. The company’s portfolio includes a commercial assemblage of properties on West 57th Street in New York.

In 2023, the Soloviev Group paid $32 million for a five-property office and retail portfolio in Delray Beach.
