The pending sale is the second-priciest of the 13 contracts signed between Oct. 5 and Oct. 11, according to the weekly report by Douglas Elliman’s Eklund-Gomes team. The report tracks all listings in Miami-Dade asking $4 million and above.

Of the deals pending last week, nine were for single-family homes. They spent an average of 148 days on the market and had a combined asking price of $74.7 million. The average contract price was $8.3 million, or $1,486 per square foot. 

The most expensive single-family home to go under contract was a 6,225-square-foot mansion at 9000 Arvida Drive in Coral Gables.

The center spent five seasons with the Heat between 2014 and 2019. Whiteside played his last NBA season with the Utah Jazz in 2022, but later came out of retirement to sign with the Shanghai Sharks in the Chinese Basketball Association for the 2025-2026 season.
