September was a HOT month for multimillion-dollar oceanfront real estate: Two pricey homes sold in Manalapan and another in Delray Beach.
On Sept. 9, a 15,000-square-foot ocean-to-lake spec house on two acres at 800 S. Ocean, Manalapan, sold for $33 million. The listing agent was Jim McCann of the Corcoran Group.
Furnished by Marc Michaels Interior Design, the eight-bedroom, 11-bath estate with a tennis court was built by developer Patrick Carney, a Palm Beach County resident, who owned the home through his company 800 South Ocean LLC.
According to the warranty deed, a Delaware limited liability company, NNCID LLC, c/o Worldwide Management LLC, Palm Beach Gardens, is the buyer. County records show that the parcel was picked up by Carney for $5.45 million in 2011. The property was originally listed after it was built in 2013 for $45 million and the asking price was $34.9 million at the time of the sale.
An 11,800-square-foot estate at 860 S. Ocean Blvd., Manalapan, built by developer Frank McKinney, just sold for $13.8 million, less than its 2005 sale price of $14.5 million. On a 1.62-acre ocean-to-lake lot, the property features lush landscaping with waterfalls, tennis court, infinity-edge pool, and dock that can accommodate multiple watercraft. Randy Ely and Nicholas Malinosky of the Corcoran Group represented the seller, Aleksander Popov. William J. Gueck is the buyer, according to a deed filed Sept. 8. It was listed for $16.5 million.
According to a warranty deed recorded on Sept. 3, an 11,462-square-foot beachfront estate on 1.4 acres at 969 S. Ocean Blvd., Delray Beach, was purchased by developer Craig Menin for $17 million. The seller, represented by Candace Friis of the Corcoran Group, was 969 South Ocean LLC, managed by Brian Benoit, the CFO of a California company, Private Single Family Office.
According to its listing, the property was recently rebuilt by local homebuilder Mark Timothy. Earlier this year, Menin Development acquired the George Buildings in downtown Delray Beach for $19.5 million.
Tennis with Jimmy Connors, anyone? Or a camel ride? The new Waldorf Astoria Unforgettable Experiences packages incorporate memorable activities at Waldorf Astoria destinations paired with its bespoke VIP services and amenities.
And local South Palm Beach County residents don’t even have to leave the immediate area for the experience.

For example, during a stay at the Arizona Biltmore, guests can opt for a full-day chartered helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon and a Sedona Sunset history tour. At the Waldorf Astoria Chicago, guests can visit the city’s infamous gangster-related historic landmarks in a private limo. At Waldorf Astoria Dubai Palm Jumeirah, the package includes a Bentley airport transfer, hot-air balloon ride in the desert, and a camel ride to a desert dinner for two.
