Retired NBA star and former Miami Heat player Hassan Whiteside has listed his contemporary tri-level waterfront estate in Miami Beach’s exclusive Lakeview neighborhood for $15.8 million. Co-listed by Jill Eber of The Jills Zeder Group — the nation’s top-ranked real estate team — and Melissa Barragan, vice president of Dezer Platinum Realty LLC, the 9,424-square-foot residence at 528 Lakeview Ct. blends architectural precision with resort-level amenities.

Designed by renowned architect Reinaldo Borges, the estate occupies a 17,676-square-foot gated lot with approximately 90 feet of frontage on Surprise Lake, offering direct access to Biscayne Bay. Its striking angled façade is paired with a tranquil waterfall feature and Koi pond, leading to a dramatic foyer with soaring 30-foot-plus ceilings, a textured feature wall, and a wood-and-glass staircase that sets the tone for the home’s clean lines and refined finishes.

Inside, expansive family, dining, and living spaces are anchored by uninterrupted water views, while marble and rich hardwood floors, custom millwork, and even a built-in aquarium create a distinctive sense of place. The seamless indoor-outdoor flow connects these living areas to multiple terraces, lush landscaping, and a resort-inspired backyard.

Entertainment and relaxation extend across three levels, culminating in a third-floor rooftop lounge with panoramic views of the pool and Intracoastal Waterway. Complete with multiple lounge areas, a firepit, a full outdoor sound system, and a covered section with a TV, the rooftop offers an ideal vantage point for Miami sunsets.

The backyard features a large pool with in-water lounge seating, a sun deck, and a cascading waterfall, complemented by a summer kitchen, cabana bath, wet bar, and an insect-repellent system for year-round enjoyment. A 45-foot wood dock with water and electric pedestal accommodates boating enthusiasts with three jet ski slips and direct Intracoastal access.

The chef’s kitchen is outfitted with Miele appliances, a Wolf gas cooktop, custom cabinetry, a butler’s pantry, two wine chillers, and an icemaker, centered around a generous island with eat-in seating.

Upstairs, the principal suite — accessed via double sliding doors — features high ceilings, built-in speakers, a seating area, and a walk-in closet with custom built-ins. The suite’s private terrace overlooks the water and pool, offering a spa tub, hot tub, and multiple lounge spaces. The spa-style bathroom includes a rain shower, double vanities, and a private water closet. Additional bedrooms include two on the second floor with ensuite baths, a staff bedroom on the first floor, and a fifth bedroom currently serving as a state-of-the-art gaming and movie theater with its own terrace and full bath.

The air-conditioned two-car garage has been converted into a fully equipped gym with padded flooring and top-tier machines but can easily be restored for vehicles and even fitted with car lifts. Security is paramount, with features such as a “safe room” with full bath, license plate reader, laser security systems, and discreet surveillance cameras.
