Premier Estate Properties earned prominent coverage in both The Real Deal and The Palm Beach Post this week, as Estate Agent Margit Brandt represented WeatherTech founder David MacNeil in his latest Manalapan acquisition — a $36 million oceanfront purchase that brings his assembled compound near Palm Beach to approximately $136 million.
The residence at 1920 South Ocean Boulevard extends one of the most significant private estate assemblies on Florida’s Atlantic coast, within the internationally coveted enclave of Manalapan. The transaction underscores the caliber of representation Premier Estate Properties delivers to the world’s most discerning buyers of trophy oceanfront property.
