Just a few months after being traded to the Florida Panthers, professional hockey player Vladimir Tarasenko secured his second Stanley Cup ring last week. He’s clearly been enjoying his time in the Sunshine State: In the past couple weeks, Tarasenko has bought two properties in Florida, one being a waterfront spot in Fort Lauderdale, the other a city pad in Miami’s Mercedes-Benz Place.
Tarasenko paid $5 million for the Fort Lauderdale property, per The Real Deal. The five-bedroom, six-bathroom home is a new build with all the modern details a professional athlete could hope for, including a soaking tub and programmable hot steam shower—perfect for recovery. The real fun is outside, though. Along with a dock, an outdoor kitchen and saltwater pool and spa offer a few different spots to enjoy the 65 feet of water frontage.
As for the Miami spot, Tarasenko opted for a one-bedroom condo in Mercedes-Benz Place. Developed by JDS Development Group, with architecture by SHoP Architects and interiors by Woods Bagot, the building is currently slated for completion in 2027. Once complete, Tarasenko will have access to over 130,000 square feet of common space, including a rooftop pool, a screening room, and a Mercedes-Benz race car simulator. Though the specific price Tarasenko paid wasn’t disclosed, one-bedroom units in the building start at $1,194,900.

AD PRO Directory studio FrenchCalifornia reveals model unit at 67 Vestry
The first photos of a model unit designed by AD PRO Directory studio FrenchCalifornia have been shared. The home is located in Tribeca’s 67 Vestry, the historic Romanesque Revival building that was converted into luxury condos by BP Architects and Gachot and completed last year. The 6,200-square-foot unit has been enlivened by hand-selected vintage pieces, heightening the refined beauty of the space.
The unit displays FrenchCalifornia’s sensitive approach to selecting fine art for residential spaces. The studio teamed up with Nava Contemporary to select a range of photographs, paintings, and sculptures, including pieces by Erin Treacy, David Mohr, and Andrés Galeano. The living room flaunts a vintage Steinway piano in collaboration with Park Avenue Pianos.
“Our design approach is shaped by a global perspective and collaborations with leading galleries and makers. For this project, we embraced the building’s heritage and added contemporary elements to highlight its unique character,” says FrenchCalifornia founder and creative director Guillaume Coutheillas. “The warm, neutral palette allows the stunning Hudson River views to be a focal point, complemented by curated vintage furniture and contemporary art.”
The four-bedroom, six-bathroom home is currently listed for $50 million with Catherine Juracich of Corcoran and Sebastian Steinau.
