The Many Miami Homes Of Messi

 
While this is his first official week of work as a new local Miamian, Leo Messi has actually been a fan of the 305 for some time. He has amassed a beautiful portfolio of properties, yet there is still a sense of mystery regarding where Messi’s home in Miami may be.

Let’s go over the properties he owns and see if we can figure out where he may choose to raise his family over the next few years…

Porsche Design Tower

Taking his first dip into Miami real estate, Messi took on one of the sexiest buildings in town. Porsche Design Tower is located in Sunny Isles Beach and is home to 22 of the worlds billionaires along with a host of other celebrities and sports figures. With tight security and privacy, Porsche Design Tower is designed for the elite buyer.

His 47th-floor residence boasts 3,555 interior square feet with a curved terrace that has space for private pool, seating area, outdoor dining as well as a summer kitchen overlooking Golden Beach and the Atlantic Ocean.

Inside, there are three generous bedrooms with four baths and a guest powder room. The integrated kitchen has European glossed cabinetry and gourmet appliances. One of the signature features of Porsche Design Tower is its Dezervator, the patented elevator that allows residents to be lifted to their homes in the sky without leaving their vehicle. The cars are then parked in special garages adjacent to the entry to the residences, allowing guests and neighbors to view car collections on their way to their homes.

As sexy and Miami-esque as Porsche Design Tower is, we do know that Messi will not be living here, at least not immediately. The $5 million residence was rented this spring for $28,000 per month.

Trump Royale

After realizing the returns that can be realized on Miami real estate investments, Messi then purchased two residences at Trump Royale. This building is also located in Sunny Isles Beach. Trump Royale is located at 18201 Collins Avenue and is part of the Trump International Resort that features over 1,000-feet of private beach for its residents.

With all of the amenities of a five-star hotel, this is an amazing investment for the Messi family. Always in-demand, the property is impeccably-kept in a manner that you would never guess it among the first of the glittering modern high-rises that define Sunny Isles today. This purchase totaled roughly $1.8 million at the time, however we do not suspect that Trump International is where Messi will be staying physically.

It is beautiful and welcoming, yet there are far too many apartments in the development for him to be able to relax. I mean, we all saw what happened this week when he simply tried to visit a Publix to grab groceries for the family. He will need a more private location, for sure.

Regalia Tower

A residence where the Messi’s realistically could call home is Regalia Tower, also in Sunny Isles Beach. The 46-story tower has just 39 total residences with each home being a full-floor layout. Messi purchased the 9th floor in 2021 for a reported $7.3 million and there are no reports of it having been leased.

The building is home to other celebrities as well. Grant and Elena Cardone, of 10X Coaching and investment fame, are also raising their family at Regalia. The residences each feature interiors of 5,500 square feet, with terraces that span 2,100 square feet and wrap around the building with a wave-like effect.  Inside, there are four bedrooms and five and a half baths with 360-degree views overlooking Golden Beach, Sunny Isles, the Atlantic Ocean as well as the Intracoastal Waterway.

Key Biscayne Waterfront Home

While it is highly possible that the Messi’s will move into their Regalia condo, there have also been murmurs that they are seeking a waterfront home not unlike the Key Biscayne oceanfront residence they rented in 2021 during Miami’s Copa America tournament.

Have a look at a video tour of the home here.

With 9,000 square feet of living space and 7 bedrooms, the home is estimated to be worth over $24 million. The Messi family spent $200,000 to rent the house during their stay for Copa America. It has been said that Leo prefers living in a home, but with the tournament taking place in late March of 2021 and the Regalia closing being finalized in April of the same year, it could be that during his stay for Copa America, he found the Regalia listing and decided to buy it. We do not know.

What we do know is that Messi will not be moving into 440 S Mashta Drive at this moment as it is neither offered for sale or for lease currently. We also have heard that their presence on S Mashta Drive caused a bit of a scene for the neighbors. The quiet community, while full of important business people and celebrities alike, is accustomed to a quiet life and Messi comes with immense fanfare. This is unlikely to let up any time soon, as everybody is understandably excited about Messi’s presence here in Miami with us and wearing our colors. We are also overjoyed that he shares the same passion to be here with us.

“I’m very much moved to be here in Miami, to be with you,” he said during Sunday’s big announcement. “I want to thank you, all of you, on behalf of my family, for the kindness that you have given me.”

His addition to the InterMiami roster came together so quickly and with so much attention, we understand if maybe he even does not yet know where he will live. The first plan of action is to win his Miami debut game against Villa Azul tomorrow night, as the world is watching.
