Lionel Messi Reportedly Buying Four Luxury Units at Cipriani Residences Miami

Soccer legend Lionel Messi is making another significant move in South Florida’s real estate market. According to sources familiar with the transaction, Messi is under contract to purchase four units at the upscale Cipriani Residences Miami condominium — one of which is priced at around $7.5 million.

The unit, featuring four bedrooms and roughly 3,500 square feet of space, is among the standout residences in the 80-story tower currently being developed by Miami-based Mast Capital. While details about the remaining three units have not been disclosed, Messi’s interest signals strong demand for the luxury development.

Messi, who joined Inter Miami in 2023, already owns a growing regional real estate portfolio. According to property records, his holdings include a $10.75 million waterfront estate in Fort Lauderdale and several condos across Miami, including one in the Porsche Design Tower.

Cipriani Residences Miami, which began sales in 2022, will feature 397 units. The development promises high-end amenities such as two swimming pools, a residents-only restaurant, a speakeasy, and dedicated catering services. The building is currently under construction, with closings expected in 2028.
