Citadel创始人兼首席执行官肯·格里芬在迈阿密金融区拥有一个占地四英亩的开发项目,其中包括三块地皮,据报道花费了6.695亿美元购得。他计划在此建造一座54层玻璃塔,作为其投资公司的总部,并可能包含酒店、餐厅和码头等设施。然而,该项目中心位置的一栋名为Solaris的22层公寓楼,正被一位神秘买家以全现金方式秘密收购。据报道,这位买家通过特拉华州的有限责任公司购买了Solaris近一半的单元,一旦达到80%,便可控制该物业,这引发了猜测:这位买家是否为格里芬,意图将其纳入自己的开发项目?或者是为了从中获利,并最终将该物业出售给格里芬?文章探讨了这一神秘收购背后的动机和潜在影响,以及格里芬在迈阿密房地产领域的扩张策略。

Citadel chief executive Ken Griffin owns a four acre development in Miami’s financial district; on it are three parcels he reportedly spent $669.5 million to buy. On one parcel, he’s building a 54-story glass tower that’ll be headquarters for his investment firm. It’s supposed to combine offices, a hotel on the upper floors, restaurants, and maybe even a dock. When he first proposed the project two years ago, it was at an estimated cost of $1 billion. But in the middle of the extraordinary site sits a 22-story condominium tower called the Solaris—and someone is secretly buying individual units in the building, in all-cash purchases, according to the Wall Street Journal. Citadel isn’t the only company to take the leap; it seems Wall Street South is catching on. J.P. Morgan Chase and Goldman Sachs recently doubled down on their office space in Miami, fueling its potential to become a storied financial hub. And it so happens that the center of American politics isn’t all that far away. The mystery buyer, or buyers, per the Journal, can only be identified via limited liability companies based in Delaware. So far, the LLCs have purchased about half of the units in the Solaris over the last two years, the publication reported. Once that reaches 80%, the buyer takes control of the property, per the Journal, so anyone who still owns their place might be forced to sell and the landlord can knock it down. So the question is, who is the mystery buyer? Is it Griffin, attempting to complete his waterfront development? Or is it someone looking for a payday, buying up the one property the billionaire doesn’t control in the vicinity, to sell to him? Bloomberg puts Griffin’s net worth at $42 billion; his hedgefund manages $64 billion in assets. Some of the remaining unit owners in the Solaris seem to think it is Griffin, according to the Journal. But it isn’t clear why he’d be buying the units in secret since he owns the surrounding buildings, something everyone knows; although it is common practice for the wealthy to purchase real estate using an LLC. The LLCs have paid around $750,000 for some of the two-bedroom units, per the Journal, which residents said wouldn’t get them anything comparable. The LLCs that purchased Griffin’s surrounding commercial properties list the same registered agent as the Delaware-based LLCs in question, they told the Journal. Apparently, one unit owner said they noticed Citadel’s global head of real estate looked at their LinkedIn profile. Others think a $2 million repair assessment is an attempt to push them out. But some think if it is Griffin buying the units and they hold out, he’ll have to pay more—maybe even a lot more, if he really wants to tear the tower down.It supposedly isn’t a first for Griffin, who according to the Journal, often acquires the properties surrounding his purchase, having previously bought seven multimillion-dollar properties in Miami’s Star Island. Not to mention, he has a portfolio of properties across south Florida, New York, London, and St. Tropez. Citadel declined to comment.How many degrees of separation are you from the globe's most powerful business leaders?
