Restaurateur Barton G. Weiss has sold his waterfront mansion on Miami Beach’s Sunset Island II for $29.3 million, according to property records. The sale price represents a significant reduction from the original listing price of $39.5 million in March 2025.
The buyer is an LLC managed by David Moradi, CEO of accessibility software company AudioEye and founder of Sero Capital, a private investment firm based in Miami.
Jill and Danny Hertzberg with the Jills Zeder Group at Coldwell Banker Realty represented the seller, while Marko Gojanovic and Reid Heidenry with One Sotheby’s International Realty brought the buyer.
Weiss, known for his Barton G. restaurants in Miami and Los Angeles and a background as a professional ice skater, costume designer, and events producer, purchased the property at 1535 West 27th Street for $1 million in 1994. He built the main house in 2009. The home features nine bedrooms, nine bathrooms, one half-bathroom, a pool, guest house, dock, and 100 feet of waterfront.
After listing the mansion for $39.5 million in March, Weiss reduced the price to $34.5 million in April before it went under contract in July. The sale reflects a broader trend of luxury properties selling below initial asking prices amid cooling demand at the high end of Miami Beach’s real estate market.
The Sunset Islands continue to attract luxury buyers. Recently, a spec home on the island priced at $18 million went under contract. In November, architect Chad Oppenheim secured a buyer for his waterfront mansion listed at $27 million. In October, investor Edmond Harbour acquired a neighboring teardown for $34 million, increasing his total investment on the islands to $60.5 million.
