The buyer behind the last remaining prime water front development site in Brickell, 1201 Brickell Bay Drive, has been revealed to be Citadel, a multinational hedge fund and asset management company led by CEO Ken Griffin. The 2.5-acre site sold for a record-breaking $363 million back in April 2022, but the buyer’s identity was hidden behind a Chicago-based limited liability company. Miami-Dade County property records now show the site was sold by TWJ 1201 LLC, an entity linked to Tibor Hollo’s Florida East Coast Realty (FECR), to 1201 Brickell Bay LLC. Hollo paid $15,500,000 for the site nearly 22 years ago, yielding an approximate 2300% profit.
