What's Good Miami Minds: , Ruthie Assouline, The Woman Behind the Most Discreet Mega Listings

When you talk about record-setting real estate in Miami and New York, one name shows up again and again: Ruthie Assouline. She has quietly—and consistently—been behind some of the most expensive and culturally significant trades in both cities, from Manhattan townhomes to North Bay Road trophy estates. But nowhere is her impact more visible right now than in Altos del Mar, the crown jewel of North Beach and the only enclave of true beachfront mansions anywhere in Miami Beach south of Golden Beach.Ruthie has personally closed the two biggest sales in the history of this ultra-rare strip—$37.5M and $36.5M—and now she has brought to market the most expensive listing North Beach has ever seen: a $40 million oceanfront estate, the only true single-family home directly on the sand currently available in all of Miami Beach.
