Billionaire investor Ken Griffin, founder and CEO of Citadel, is charting a new course on Miami Beach’s waterfront. His latest proposal: a private marina on Terminal Island, designed exclusively for his superyacht and a select few vessels.
The plan — now headed to the Miami Beach Planning Board — envisions a resort-style enclave with pools, pickleball courts, and docking space for up to six mega-yachts. Spread across several low-rise buildings, the project would include a crew pavilion with gym and sauna, a private lounge and pool for Griffin, and marina operations facilities — all set within a secure, landscaped compound.
Since relocating Citadel’s headquarters from Chicago to Miami in 2022, Griffin has become one of the city’s most influential power players, amassing prime properties from Brickell to Star Island and reshaping Miami’s skyline with landmark investments.
If approved, the Terminal Island marina would extend Griffin’s vision of Miami not just as a financial hub, but as the new epicentre of ultra-luxury lifestyle infrastructure — where private marinas, towers, and estates redefine what it means to live on the waterfront.
