Recent records from BARNES Miami reshaping Florida’s prime market
BARNES Miami achieves three milestones: Davie ($25.5M, local historical record), Miami Beach ($18.5M during Art Basel 2024) and Boca Raton ($13.995M, record price per square foot in its area). Added to this is the opening of the Aventura agency in 2024, consolidating a strategic expansion across South Florida.
In recent months, BARNES Miami has completed a series of transactions that raise the bar for Florida’s luxury market and strengthen the Group’s footprint in the United States. These closings not only set new valuation highs but also highlight the dynamism of submarkets that complement traditional coastal enclaves, with a steady stream of international demand and increasingly robust comparables.
Davie (Broward): $25.5M and the highest sale ever recorded in the area
In June 2025, BARNES participated in the sale of a 10-acre estate in Davie for $25.5 million, the highest residential transaction ever recorded in the municipality and a new milestone for western Broward. The deal — with BARNES on the seller’s side — was covered by industry and local media for its record-setting nature.
The significance of this achievement goes beyond the figure: it confirms demand for large parcels offering privacy, amenities, and rapid access to the urban nodes of the Miami–Fort Lauderdale metro, extending the ultra-prime map beyond the traditional waterfront. Davie, FL $25,500,000 | BARNES Miami Miami Beach: $18.5M and the largest closing during Art Basel 2024
During Art Basel Miami Beach 2024 (December 2–8, 2024), BARNES recorded an $18.5 million closing in Miami Beach, noted internally as the largest of that week. The fair’s context — with more than 75,000 attendees and a strong pull on collectors and museum directors — multiplies visibility for top assets in South Beach and its surroundings, reinforcing the link between culture, lifestyle, and luxury real estate in the city. Miami Beach, FL $18,500,000 | BARNES Miami Boca Raton (The Sanctuary): $13.995M and a record price per square foot in its area
In Boca Raton, within the exclusive community of The Sanctuary, BARNES closed a waterfront sale for $13.995 million that set a record price per square foot in its immediate area, according to BARNES’ communication. The amount aligns with recent sales records and reflects the scarcity of high-spec waterfront inventory in this enclave, historically positioned at the very top of Palm Beach County’s market.
The combination of contemporary architecture, direct water frontage, and best-in-class finishes supports rising valuations in Boca Raton, where buyers prioritize security, privacy, and marinas with direct access to the Intracoastal.

Adding to this sequence of sales is the opening of the Aventura agency in September 2024, less than 30 minutes from Miami Beach. This new hub, located within the private community of Mystic Pointe, strengthens BARNES’ coverage along Miami-Dade’s northern corridor and accompanies South Florida’s demographic and economic momentum. The office launches with an international scope and sets the stage for future openings that will deepen the brand’s presence in a fast-expanding market.
Media coverage and validation
BARNES Miami’s recent milestones have been verified by specialized and local media, such as The Real Deal and Miami New Times which highlighted the historic Davie record and its impact on western Broward; in addition, attendance figures for Art Basel 2024 were confirmed by institutional sources and the fair’s organizer. Taken together, these data points consolidate Florida’s prime momentum and BARNES’ role as a reference player in high-end transactions.
BARNES Miami continues to strengthen its presence in a growing market, combining record sales, territorial expansion, and an international platform that facilitates transatlantic transactions with BARNES’ service standard.
