Tom Posted May 28, 2005 Posted May 28, 2005 RITZ-Y DIGS Former University of Miami star running back Willis McGahee bought a $665,000 condo at The Residences at The Ritz-Carlton in Coconut Grove. Two bedrooms, 14th floor. McGahee, 23, who blew out his knee during the Hurricanes-Ohio State game in the '03 Fiesta Bowl, now plays for the Buffalo Bills. A Coldwell Banker deal -- Judy Prado Lombard for McGahee, and Polly Schiff and Kim Gomberg for seller Deborah Kaufman. RITZ-Y DIGS
Sound_n_Fury Posted May 28, 2005 Posted May 28, 2005 It's right across the hall from this one. Must not have as nice a view...but I'd take it! http://miami.condocompany.com/Coconut-Grov...arlton/M990283/ And the taxes are only $7,491! They'd probably be three times that much in WNY.
Fla Bills Fan Posted May 28, 2005 Posted May 28, 2005 RITZ-Y DIGS 347086[/snapback] That is a conservative price for waterfront in Fl now. My friend bought a waterfront condo about 10 years ago for under 100,000. The one next to his,& identical to his just sold for $670,000.

Most of the listings were for $800k to $1.3 million.
BillsGuyInMalta Posted May 28, 2005 Posted May 28, 2005 Travis would have given his condo to orphans.
Smoker2Buffalo Posted May 29, 2005 Posted May 29, 2005 McGahee lives in the Sawgrass Condos. There's 10 or so Bills that live within walking distance of my house. Most in either apartments or condos. Takeo and EM have some BIG houses. Next time we drive by I should take a snapshot to show you guys.
Astrobot Posted May 29, 2005 Posted May 29, 2005 I'm surprised there are no pictures of the condo itself. This would be a business for a young photographer with a wideangle lens--you see plenty of real estate websites with too-few pictures.

It's a place that doesn't need much advertising, apparently! http://www.miamilifestyle.com/listings/Fea...do.ASP?FAID=558 Here's the penthouse...Not too shabby for $3 million! http://www.rexhamilton.com/ritzcarlton.htm
EC-Bills Posted May 29, 2005 Posted May 29, 2005 Travis would have given his condo to orphans. 347239[/snapback] Heh. Travis would have to get another contract extension to afford a condo
Smoker2Buffalo Posted May 29, 2005 Posted May 29, 2005 Travis lived in the same condos that Willis lives in here now. They evicted him because his bulldog tore the place up!

Smoker2Buffalo Posted May 31, 2005 Posted May 31, 2005 Is this it??Sawgrass Hamburg 347677[/snapback] Yes sir.
BillsFan Trapped in Pats Land Posted May 31, 2005 Posted May 31, 2005 Yep, the $665K Wiillis paid was for the lowest-priced unit at the Ritz. Most of the listings were for $800k to $1.3 million. 347228[/snapback] I think the Ritz condos in Boston start at a million, and they just overlook Boston Common, not a Miami beachline.
buffaloboyinATL Posted May 31, 2005 Posted May 31, 2005 Is this it??Sawgrass Hamburg 347677[/snapback] A bunch of the Bills live there?!? Seems a little low rent. I guess I always picture big houses like on MTV Cribs...

I guess I always picture big houses like on MTV Cribs... 348059[/snapback] It's the spot where most of the younger or newer guys live. I know the following players have lived, or do live there: Willis McGahee Coy Wire Kevin Thomas Ahmad Brooks Josh Reed Takeo (until he moved to the big house a few minutes away)
