A premium equestrian estate in Wellington's exclusive Grand Prix Village has sold for $17 million, marking one of the most significant residential transactions in South Florida for late May 2026.
The six-bedroom, five-bathroom property at 3351 Grand Prix Farms Drive changed ownership from an LLC connected to Darin S. Goldstein, who had held the estate for decades, to an entity managed by David Stewart II. The buyer serves as CEO of Lion Forge Animation and is the son of technology billionaire David Stewart.
Ryan Beckett with BitRealty represented the seller, while Robert Scott Fitton from Engel & Volkers Wellington brought the purchaser to the transaction. The final sale price came in just under the $18 million asking price.
Meanwhile, commercial real estate activity dominated the regional market with substantial truck stop acquisitions. The largest commercial deal occurred in Medley, where a five-parcel truck stop complex spanning 207,000 square feet at 12200 Northwest South River Drive sold for $23.6 million.
Sunshine Plaza of South Florida, which had owned the Medley property since 2003, sold to an affiliate of LV Petroleum, a Las Vegas-based gas station chain. The same buyer group secured additional commercial assets across the region.
LV Petroleum's expansion continued with the $20 million acquisition of another truck stop facility at 9101 West Okeechobee Road in Hialeah Gardens. This property, previously owned by a trust associated with Isaura Haddad, encompasses nearly 159,000 square feet.
Fort Lauderdale recorded another significant industrial transaction totaling $11.3 million. The deal included two industrial properties at 3377 Southwest Second Avenue, an additional industrial building at 222 Southwest 33rd Court, and two adjacent vacant land parcels. The combined structures measure 51,100 square feet.
Steven Baum's LLC served as the seller in the Fort Lauderdale transaction, with a Dania Beach entity managed by Daniel Vizel completing the purchase.
The recent activity reflects sustained investor interest in South Florida's commercial and luxury residential sectors. Wellington's Grand Prix Village continues attracting high-net-worth buyers drawn to the area's equestrian amenities and proximity to world-class polo facilities.
Commercial investors appear particularly focused on transportation and logistics infrastructure, with fuel and truck stop properties commanding premium valuations across Miami-Dade and Broward counties.
