Another tennis star on the beach
Add another name to the list of athletes calling Miami home. Tennis doubles star Leander Paes has purchased a pricey oceanfront condo in Chi Miami in Sunny Isles for $5.2 million, according to a press release, which also dubs the building “uber luxurious.” Russian heiress Anna Anisimova purchased a penthouse in the building earlier this year.
The Chi, expected to be completed in late 2009, is to be 42 stories with 38 one-home per floor units of 4,700 square feet indoors and 1,300-square foot terrace with private mineral water pool. Prices run a cool $5 million to $6 million.
