Coconut Grove estate sells for record $107M

Adrienne Arsht, a Miami businesswoman and philanthropist, sold her waterfront Coconut Grove compound consisting of two homes for $106.9 million, marking a record in Miami-Dade County.

The price is a 29 percent discount from the $150 million asking price from January, when the property hit the market. Still, it is the first time a residential sale surpassed the $100 million mark.

The deal beats the previous record in Miami-Dade, technology company InterSystems founder Phillip Ragon’s $93 million three-house purchase this summer in Golden Beach.
