An entity linked to Jakub Hejl’s real estate investment firm, Westside Capital Group, bought a renovated waterfront estate in Coral Gables for $23.4 million.
Records show 6801 Granada Owner LLC, a Delaware entity, bought the mansion at 6801 Granada Boulevard from Weston Grove LLC, a Florida firm led by Marco de Souza. The purchase was financed with a $19.4 million loan from Valley National Bank, with employees of Westside Capital signing the mortgage documents.
Douglas Elliman’s Lourdes Alatriste represented both the buyer and the seller in the deal.
Hejl is chairman of Westside Capital, a Coral Gables-based firm he founded in 2017. He has been involved in more than $4 billion in real estate deals and has a portfolio of multifamily and mixed-use assets that span Florida, Georgia and Alabama, according to LinkedIn.
De Souza is a Brazilian investor, according to published reports. The Granada Boulevard estate last sold for $4.6 million in 2016 to Jorge and Javier Dalmau, who transferred the property to De Souza and Amanda de Seta, a film producer-turned-developer, in 2019, according to property records. The mansion was built in 1951 on 1.9 acres, records show. It was extensively renovated and expanded and now spans 12,400 square feet, with nine bedrooms, seven bathrooms, two half-bathrooms, a library, pool, tennis court and 600 feet of waterfront with a dock, records and the listing show.
The mansion hit the market asking $29.9 million in March of last year, according to Redfin.
Coral Gables is a favorite neighborhood among South Florida’s moneyed buyers. Last month, a family sold their waterfront teardown in the gated Gables Estates neighborhood for $17.3 million. Goya Foods scion Francisco R. Unanue sold a 1-acre waterfront lot for $18.5 million in August. In July, a couple sold their non-waterfront mansion for $27.5 million.
