| Another record for Palm Beach: Condo sells for $12.1 million By: JEFF OSTROWSKI 05/14/08 The Palm Beach real estate market just keeps defying the laws of gravity that apply elsewhere. The latest record: $12.1 million for a condo. That’s the amount Lee Munder, former head of Munder Capital Management and now head of Lee Munder Capital Group, and wife Laura paid developer and Miami Dolphins co-owner Stephen Ross for his 5,798-square-foot unit at 300 Seminole Ave. (Lee and Laura pictured at right.) It’s a record for condos in Palm Beach and perhaps in the entire state, said Palm Beach real estate attorney Les Evans. The previous record for a Palm Beach condo was $8.9 million, said Ava Van de Water, executive vice president at Brown Harris Stevens. Susan Polan of Illustrated Properties Real Estate listed the home in the Multiple Listing Service at $13.9 million. She says the $12.1 million price on the deed didn’t reflect an undisclosed amount the Munders paid Ross for furniture. By the way, the deal generated Florida documentary stamp taxes of $84,730.50.
