David and Victoria Beckham paid $72.3 million for a waterfront spec mansion in Miami Beach, setting a record for the city’s North Bay Road.
Retired soccer champion David Beckham, co-owner of the Major League Soccer team Inter Miami, and Victoria, a fashion designer, singer and businesswoman, acquired the 14,270-square-foot, nine-bedroom estate at 4736 North Bay Road, sources previously told The Real Deal.
The sale closed on Monday, according to the Multiple Listing Service. Property records show developer Niklas de la Motte sold the home. It was on the market with Dora Puig of Luxe Living Realty for $80 million.
Luxury homebuilder Bart Reines constructed the new home, which has nine bathrooms, four half-bathrooms, a gym, spa, home theater, a pool and an outdoor kitchen and lounge. The 0.6-acre property includes 124 feet of water frontage. Choeff Levy Fischman designed the house with Antrobus Design Collection.
Motte paid $10 million for the North Bay Road property in 2018, which then included an older home. The new home has been on the market since November 2022.
The Beckhams own a full-floor condo at the Zaha Hadid-designed One Thousand Museum tower in downtown Miami. They paid about $19.8 million for the 10,000-square-foot unit in 2020. It’s not currently on the market.
David Beckham had been working on bringing MLS soccer to Miami for years before the team’s inaugural season in 2020. The team’s star roster includes soccer greats Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets.
Beckham and his Inter Miami partners, led by MasTec Chairman Jorge Mas, plan to develop a major mixed-use soccer complex on the former Melreese golf course site near Miami International Airport.
Other property owners on North Bay Road include billionaire media mogul Barry Diller, who is married to fashion designer Diane von Fürstenberg; Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber; former Softbank Group International CEO Marcelo Claure; and billionaire developer-hotelier Barry Sternlicht.
Diller recently paid a record $45 million for the waterfront 1.5-acre lot at 5930 North Bay Road.
