Lionel Messi Is Quadrupling Down on Luxury Miami Real Estate

At least one of the four under-construction units scooped up by the soccer star costs $7.5 million

As usual, Lionel Messi has a lot to celebrate. Most recently, the Argentine soccer legend broke Inter Miami’s goal contribution record and made some major real estate moves. According to the Wall Street Journal, Messi just entered contract on four luxury condos at Cipriani Residences Miami, an under-construction 80-story tower slated for completion in 2028. One of the units, a 3,500-square-foot four-bedroom, is priced at $7.5 million; details of the other three condos scooped up by the Inter Miami captain are still unknown.

Developed by Mast Capital, the curvy glass condominium will house 397 one-to-four-bedroom residences starting at $1.7 million. The structure’s Canaletto Collection (comprised of six penthouses and 68 other high-end units that make up the building’s top 18 floors) features wraparound views of Biscayne Bay and the Miami skyline, with the penthouse units also featuring private pools.

Amenities offered to residents will include a private restaurant, 24-hour catering, a wood-paneled speakeasy, a resort deck with two swimming pools, a holistic spa, a screening room, a gym, a library, and a pickleball court.

Renderings showcase modern, organic-inspired interiors designed by 1508 London. Floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors offering sweeping views of the water are among the elements future residents can expect in the luxury units.

Each dwelling will also feature a kitchen equipped with high-end appliances and glossy wooden cabinetry; primary suites with walk-in closets and spa-like bathrooms; and curved terraces lined with glass railings.

Messi has several lavish options for where to rest his head while he waits for his newest Miami residence to be built. The athlete maintains a $10.75 million Fort Lauderdale mansion that he bought in 2023, the same year he joined Inter Miami. That home spans 10,500 square feet, with 10 bedrooms and an equal number of baths. He also already owns multiple Miami condos, including a space at the Porsche Design Tower.
