Oren Alexander and his wife sold their waterfront Miami Beach mansion for $51.5 million, as the disgraced broker sits in jail awaiting trial for federal sex trafficking charges.
Alexander and Kamila Hansen Alexander sold the nearly 10,000-square-foot home at 2135 Lake Avenue to a trust named after the address and managed by attorney Steven Z. Garellek, according to property records. Orly Alexander, Oren’s mother, signed the deed on behalf of her son.
The Alexanders have been quietly shopping some of their properties for months after sources first told The Real Deal in February that patriarch Shlomy was showing Oren’s home.
Oren, his twin brother Alon and their older brother Tal are being held at Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. They have all pleaded not guilty to the sex trafficking and related charges.
The Alexander family was seeking more than $50 million for Oren’s Lake Avenue home, which was completed last year on the Sunset Islands. The two-story mansion includes a pool and dock.
They were also shopping other properties, including Tal’s waterfront home at 2687 Flamingo Drive and the waterfront home at 1611 West 24th Street on the Sunset Islands, one island away from Oren’s house. The latter is now available for rent, asking $49,000 a month with Isaac Lustgarten, now with the Corcoran Group. Lustgarten worked closely with Oren, including at Official, the Side-backed brokerage Oren and Tal led.
Oren’s home was built by Sholmy’s development venture, Alexander Group. The family was also open to selling the completed house before last summer, when civil lawsuits alleging the brothers raped and drugged women were widely reported, a source previously told TRD.
Oren paid $10 million for the half-acre lot in 2020 and demolished the previous house, records show.

These are the charges Oren and Alon Alexander face in Miami-Dade
Oren and Alon are also facing state charges in Florida of sexual battery. Attorneys for the twin brothers and real estate agent Ohad Fisherman, an alleged accomplice, filed a joint motion to dismiss those charges earlier this month.
In the federal case, the Southern District of New York unsealed a third superseding indictment in early June, charging Oren and Alon with aggravated sex abuse by force or threat or intoxicant, which is tied to an alleged attack in 2012 of a woman, identified as Victim 7, on a Bahamian-flagged cruise ship.
The second superseding indictment, brought in May, included two charges of inducement to travel to engage in unlawful sexual activity and six sex trafficking charges. One of those charges, levied against Tal and Alon, involved a victim who was a minor at the time of the alleged attack.
Federal charges against the three brothers now total 10.
