Cosmetic surgeon Dr. Aaron Rollins and his wife, Marine Rollins, are in contract to sell their waterfront mansion at 7 Indian Creek Island Road for $200 million. The buyer is reportedly Mark Zuckerberg, co-founder of Facebook and CEO of Meta, along with his wife Priscilla Chan.

The property, which is still under construction, was listed as pending last week on the Multiple Listing Service. This sale tops the most recent Eklund-Gomes signed contracts report for Miami-Dade County covering the period from February 23 to March 1. During that week, buyers agreed to purchase 31 properties in the county priced at $4 million or more.

According to the report by Douglas Elliman’s team led by Fredrik Eklund and John Gomes, a total of 46 luxury listings were added last week, bringing the overall number of high-end listings in Miami-Dade to 1,271. The single-family homes that went under contract averaged an asking price of $18 million and spent around 167 days on the market. In total, these homes accounted for $379 million in asking volume.

“Zuckerberg and Chan are buying the 28,000-square-foot mansion at the top of the report,” according to confirmation from sources cited by The Real Deal and as first reported by The Wall Street Journal. Danny and Jill Hertzberg with the Jills Zeder Group at Coldwell Banker have listed this nearly two-acre property. Aaron Rollins is known for creating the AirSculpt body-contouring procedure. Forbes estimates Zuckerberg’s net worth at over $222 billion.

If finalized, this purchase would place Zuckerberg among other wealthy tech figures who have recently acquired homes in South Florida such as Google co-founder Larry Page and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. Bezos currently owns three properties in Indian Creek.

Last week’s condo sales saw an average asking price of $7.9 million with units spending an average of 211 days on the market. These condos represented a total asking volume of $78.8 million—an average of about $2,000 per square foot.

The highest-priced condo entering into contract was unit 4201-05 at Five Park located at 500 Alton Road in Miami Beach. Listed for $14 million by Ivan Chorney and Michael Martirena’s Ivan & Mike Team at Compass, this combined unit measures approximately 5,200 square feet with four bedrooms, four bathrooms, two half-baths, two offices and a wraparound terrace—a price equating to roughly $2,716 per square foot.

For comparison, New York buyers signed contracts for 32 homes last week with a combined asking price exceeding $316 million; those properties spent a median of 916 days on the market.
