Lionel Messi, widely recognized as the world’s most accomplished soccer player, has selected Miami as his new residence, generating significant excitement in the city’s real estate market.

Messi now possesses three units in Sunny Isles: a $5 million unit on the 47th floor of the Porsche Design Tower, and units on the 40th and 43rd floors of the nearby Trump Royale Tower, each purchased for slightly over $1 million.

Additionally, Messi’s family acquired a condominium on the ninth floor of Regalia, another oceanfront tower in Sunny Isles, for $7.3 million.

Nevertheless, these properties may only partially meet Messi’s needs, as he has three children with his wife and is accustomed to his mansion in the Barcelona suburb, complete with a football field, swimming pool, indoor gym, and children’s playground.

As the current Inter Miami stadium is situated in Fort Lauderdale, Messi may seek a larger residence in suburban areas of Broward County, such as Weston, Davie, or Southwest Ranches.

This move not only enhances Miami’s ambition of becoming a global sports destination but also has the potential to attract other renowned athletes and their affluent supporters. The significance of this moment can’t be underestimated. For Latinos, he is the equivalent of a god, which makes them even more excited to have a place in Miami.

The impact of Messi’s decision goes beyond the sports realm and has garnered the attention of the real estate world.
