 Recently, a conceptual Miami home for soccer star Lionel Messi was revealed on Instagram by Veliz Architecto, a mansion shaped in an iconic M which is clearly visible from aerial views. The contemporary estate would also offer three levels of living in crazy amenities such as three helipads all contained on a private ship shaped island. Don't get too excited though, this mansion has yet to be brought into existence and as of now, it's merely AI. However, Messi being recruited by David Beckham's Inter-Miami CF team has gone fans excited as well as realtors located in South Florida. Considering Messi's deal is said to be worth an estimated $60 million and with the athlete being spotted house hunting all over the greater Miami area, everyone's wondering where he will be buying up his next piece of real estate. So far, Messi's most significant Miami property purchase has been his condo in the Porsche Design Tower which is home to a reported 20 billionaires. He purchased his residence for $9 million in 2019 and it comes with beachfront access on Sunny Isles Beach as well as a whole host of other amenities. A concept home designed with Lionel Messi in mind was revealed over on Instagram and may have even had you thinking that it's where the athlete moved his family to. However, this Miami property hasn't even been built yet and it's only been designed with AI so far by the architectural firm Belize Architect. The conceptual project of the Messi mansion in Miami as it's called was inspired by Messi's brand logo with its iconic M shape clearly visible from an aerial view of the property. This grand estate comprises three levels and it's situated on an exclusive island designed in the shape of a ship ensuring seclusion and a prime location. I don't know how realistic that is though. Anyways, the residence was meticulously crafted to embody opulence and convenience featuring an array of amenities for one's pleasure. The expansive pools outdoors are a standout feature ideal for unwinding and relishing their tropical climate in Miami. There's also an expansive pier present granting access to yachts and other vessels presenting the perfect maritime experience. For car enthusiasts, the mansion boasts an impressive deluxe car garage while the garden deck offers a tranquil and natural setting to relax amidst fresh air. Indoors, the mansion is abound with entertainment choices. Gaming rooms and a sophisticated party space are incorporated for residents to create unforgettable memories. Additionally, Ohm Theater offers a luxurious movie experience without leaving the property. Now, one of the remarkable attractions of this property would include three helipads providing a convenient and exclusive means of air to travel from the estate. For those who value panoramic views, the property offers stunning 360-degree views of the surrounding landscape providing an unparalleled connection to the beauty of Miami's coastline. Now, some fans in the comments section think that the estate, while just a concept at this point is tacky and over-the-top, while many others are impressed by it. However, even if Messi wanted to live here for now, he needs to pick a more realistic residence. Lionel Messi had already settled into life in Miami, Florida after his transfer to InterMiami team was confirmed. He'd already been spotted out and about in the city with his family plenty of times while they adjust to their new home base. Despite Messi's success, he isn't living as flashy as that concept home we just looked at. And he's been choosing to spend his downtime with his wife Antonella and their three sons. They have been seen shopping at local supermarkets, as well as taking his father Jorge to dinner with them at the Italian restaurant Cafe Prima Pasta. No slight of any helicopter landings yet. This restaurant, though, has been open since 1993 and is no stranger to whining and dining celebrities, with the likes of NBA legend Michael Jordan, Pitbull, and more having eaten here in the past. After their time on the town, Messi and his family probably went back to the $9 million apartment he purchased a few years ago, where it's believed they're using as their main residence. Reports suggest that Messi bought a Miami condo in the Porsche Design Tower back in 2019, a lavish building that was constructed in 2017, and makes the perfect place to settle down unless he finds a bigger home. This 60-floor Porsche tower is located between Ball Harbor and Aventura and is located 25 minutes from the InterMiami stadium. Residents living here have stunning views from their homes of the surrounding areas such as Miami Beach, which is only seconds away. The building has some impressive amenities too, including a variety of elevators designed specifically for residents' cars so they can park their vehicles in their exclusive suite. In fact, each unit has its own private sky garage, which can accommodate three cars. This special type of elevator is dubbed the Deservator and was described by the tower's developer who said, The Deservator was created as an alternative to valet parking, but our billionaire and famous residents appreciate the privacy factor. They don't have to go through the lobby and it's become a popular amenity for this reason. Well, I'm sure Messi is finding that useful. But aside from car lifts, the tower boasts its own private restaurant and an outdoor lounge that overlooks the water. Messi's luxury condo here, which is located in Sunny Isles Beach, offers 4,400 square feet of space, as well as plenty of floor-to-ceiling windows inside contemporary design, and open-plan living areas. Meanwhile, there's also 24-hour security, a heated swimming pool, spa, and a fully-equipped gym. If that's not enough, the porch design tower boasts access to a private movie theater and golf and racing simulators too, offering perfect leisure and entertainment options for Messi and his family. Now, while this ocean front department is impressive, it's not the soccer star's only Miami property investment. In 2021, Messi purchased a larger condo just a few doors down for $7.3 million. He bought the entire ninth floor of the Regalia Tower, a building on Collins Ave, which has a total of only 39 residences throughout. This tower is super exclusive and boasts a whopping six swimming pools, a spa, a gym, yoga studio, children's playhouse, chef's kitchen, and a champagne bar and wine cellar. If that's not enough, Messi paid over $1 million each for two units on the 40th and 43rd floors of the Trump Rail Tower, which is nearby. While it's also possible he and his family are living in any one of these properties, it's also been rumored that Messi has been house-hunting in Miami for a more permanent dwelling. Having three children, it's said that the Messi family prefers houses as well as more space. Back in 2021, while he was in Miami for the Copa America Championship, Messi rented a five-bedroom waterfront mansion located on Kibiski or reported $200,000 per month. This might suggest the type of property Messi's seeking to invest in next. Leo Antonella and their three sons enjoyed this rental home in Kibiski, Florida for quite some time now, which you can book yourself if you had an extra $10,000 per night. This modern Florida mansion sat right on the water, boasting five bedrooms and 5.5 baths throughout. It was boxy and white on the outside while inside it was constructed in a true Florida style, featuring bright white walls and some wood accents. Not to mention almost all of the rooms had Florida ceiling glass, looking out to the bay and the infinity pool. Many of the common rooms like the kitchen had walls of glass that disappeared for easy indoor-outdoor access along with the sprawling dining room. The kitchen further had white cabinets and top of the line appliances too. The living room had the stunning Florida ceiling windows that overlooked the ocean and a large semi-outdoor sitting area had two white long couches and fans to make guests feel cool and comfortable. Other features of the contemporary home included a wrap-around deck to soak up the views and plenty of patios to lounge out on the ground level. While Messi rented here, he shared photos and videos of social media of him and his family taking advantage of the pool and playing soccer out back. While nothing has been confirmed yet, Lionel Messi was seen looking at a few upscale houses to purchase in the area, such as in early August when he toured a lavish water from Manchin and Fort Lauderdale that last sold for $29.7 million. This impressive spec built estate spans 11,700 square feet of space and is full of amenities. That's definitely big enough for the Messi family. Property includes everything from a pool to a spa, gym, rooftop terrace with a putting green, a helipad, movie theater, and library. While we don't know what Messi will purchase as his home base in Miami, we have a pretty good idea of what his taste in properties is. We'll have to wait and see, but for now, that is going to wrap up today's house tour. Before we go, answer this question for me.
