After purchasing the Faena House penthouse and the unit below it for $60 million in September, Citadel CEO Kenneth Griffin placed the property back on the market for $73 million.
According to Miami Curbed, the units are listed separately, and the 8,270-square-foot penthouse that has a total of five bedrooms is being sold for $55 million, while the 4,240-square-foot unit below it which has three bedrooms is listed for $18 million. It was reported that the $60 million purchase of the units were considered to be the most expensive sale in the country last year.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the upper unit features a 2,700-square-foot roof deck which has its own swimming pool. It also has a wraparound terrace which is measured to be around 7,300 square feet. The lower unit comprises half of the 15th floor and also has its own terrace that measures around 2,720 square feet. The site reported that Griffin signed a contract for the units in 2014 even before the building was completed. Alan Faena of Faena Group and Len Blavatnik who were the developers of the property revealed that they customized the place for Griffin, and they will soon begin to build out the interiors.
According to Forbes, Griffin has an estimated net worth of $7.2 billion. He is known as the founder and CEO of Citadel which is a global investment firm and is also one of the world's largest alternative investment management firms. In the recent years, Griffin has bought and sold several high-profile properties, and in 2012, he bought four properties in Palm Beach with an estimated price of $130 million.
Just last December, he was able to sell two full floor condos at the Waldorf Astoria hotel in Chicago for $16 million. He also recently signed a contract worth $200 million to pay for multiple apartments at 220 Central Park South in Manhattan.
