Exclusive | Miamis $100M club swells in size as chapel-equipped Coral Gables compound asks $148M

Miami’s nine-digit house party just got a new guest.A waterfront compound in Coral Gables has hit the market for a stratospheric $148 million, an ask that would nearly triple the city’s sales record if met.It is one of five single-family homes in Miami-Dade now publicly priced at $100 million or more, The Post has learned.The spread at 8901 Arvida Lane covers 2.38 acres at the head of a lagoon in Gables Estates, a gated enclave of fewer than 200 homes and lots.
