Former NBA stars Juwan Howard and Hassan Whiteside cashed out of their Miami-Dade mansions in back-to-back deals.
Howard, the Brooklyn Nets’ assistant coach and former NBA All-Star, sold his 9,000-square-foot home at 9440 Old Cutler Lane in Coral Gables for $25 million. The deal worked out to $2,777 per square foot.
The buyer is New Hampshire attorney Patrick Collins, represented by Carla Defortuna of Fortune Christie’s International Real Estate. Toni Schrager and Lauren Schrager of Brown Harris Stevens had the listing.
Howard bought the property for $3.4 million in 2013, when it was occupied by a 1970s home. That home was demolished to make way for Howard’s custom-built mansion, which was completed last year. The Kobi Karp-designed home sits on a 1.7-acre lot and has seven bedrooms, seven bathrooms and one half-bath, according to the listing. It also has a 75-foot pool and a detached four-car garage.
The home is one of 18 luxury estates in the gated Journey’s End neighborhood. It first hit the market last year at an asking price of $31.5 million before going under contract for $28.9 million in September.
Howard played for eight NBA teams over his 19-year career. In 1996, he was named an NBA All-Star as a member of the Washington Bullets, now the Washington Wizards. He also won back-to-back championships with the Miami Heat in 2012 and 2013, after which he retired. In 2019, he was returned to his alma mater, the University of Michigan, as head coach of the men’s basketball team. The school fired him in 2024, and he joined the Brooklyn Nets the same year.
Whiteside, also a former Miami Heat player, finally scored a deal for his Miami Beach home after the property went under contract four times since May.
His 5,400-square-foot mansion at 528 Lakeview Court sold for $12.6 million to Heard Partners CEO Jared Galbut, Mansion Global reported. Galbut is the nephew of Miami developer Russell Galbut, co-founder and managing principal of Crescent Heights.
The price equated to $2,333 per square foot. Jordan Karp of Jordan Karp LLC and Joel Lusky of The Brokerage South Florida Real Estate LLC represented both the buyer and the seller in the transaction.
Whiteside went into contract to sell his home last month, asking $14.8 million. The 2014-built home sits on a 0.4-acre lot within the gated community on La Gorce Island. It has five bedrooms and seven-and-a-half bathrooms, as well as a theater, gym, built-in aquarium, 90 feet of water frontage, a 45-foot dock and three Jet Ski slips.
Whiteside bought the property for $7.3 million in 2016, during his five-season stint as a center with the Heat. He played his last NBA season with the Utah Jazz in 2022 and later came out of retirement to sign with the Chinese Basketball Association’s Shanghai Sharks for the 2025-2026 season.
They’re not the only ballers making real estate moves in South Florida lately.
Also this month, football hall-of-famer and renowned Minnesota Vikings quarterback Fran Tarkenton paid $51.9 million for a waterfront mansion in Palm Beach. At the same time, Memphis Grizzlies power forward Cameron Boozer dropped $5.8 million on a waterfront home in Coral Gables’ Gables-by-the-Sea community. Last month, NBA champion Giannis Antetokounmpo shelled out $13.5 million for a nearly 12,000-square-foot mansion in Pinecrest.
