The world took notice when global music icon The Weeknd purchased a $55 million waterfront mansion in Coral Gables’ elite Gables Estates enclave, a record-breaking transaction that generated more than 1 billion media impressions worldwide. Coverage spanned The Wall Street Journal, Fox Business, Miami Herald, The Real Deal, and Miami New Times, shining a global spotlight on Miami’s ultra-luxury market.
A Landmark of Waterfront Design
Set on a rare double lot with 200 feet of direct Biscayne Bay frontage, this modern-tropical estate encompasses more than 17,000 square feet of meticulously crafted living space. Floor-to-ceiling glass, imported limestone, and seamless indoor-outdoor transitions define the residence, which also features a mega-yacht dock, resort-style pool, spa, and private theater epitomizing Miami’s new standard of waterfront sophistication.
Roland and Eddy | Behind the Record

Global Spotlight on Miami’s Prestige Market
The Weeknd’s move into Coral Gables underscores the city’s growing appeal among international buyers seeking privacy, architectural excellence, and lifestyle distinction. With its lush canopy streets and proximity to both downtown Miami and the beaches, Gables Estates remains one of the most secure and prestigious gated communities in the United States, a haven where art, design, and nature converge.
From The Wall Street Journal’s headline, “Waterfront Florida Home With Space for a 200-Foot Mega-Yacht,” to Fox Business’s feature on the “record-setting $54.9M Coral Gables mansion,” the coverage reaffirmed what Roland and Eddy have built their brand upon: Miami’s luxury real estate is not only thriving, it’s defining modern prestige.
