Philadelphia attorney and entrepreneur Vahan Gureghian and his attorney wife, Danielle, are planning to build a 20,000 square foot mansion at 1071 N. Ocean Boulevard in Palm Beach, FL. The plans were submitted late last year to the town for review. If built, the house will stand on two lots, with a total of nearly 240 feet of oceanfront, which they acquired last year for $28.9 million (the year’s second-largest Palm Beach residential purchase by a single buyer). The most amazing part? The Gureghian’s main house is even BIGGER than this! They live in a 30,000 square foot mega mansion in Gladwyne, PA. Pennsylvania-based architect Frederick L. Bissinger Jr. designed the Palm Beach house as well as their Pennsylvania house. Smith and Moore Architects of West Palm Beach are also involved in the project, and Lang Design Group of West Palm did the landscape plan.

 1 Arvida Parkway in Miami, FL is a masterpiece of an estate owned by Mike Fernandez, the owner and CEO of CarePlus Medical Centers. It was built by Dorlom Construction with interior design done by Ivette Arango. We brought it to your attention in December of last year along with over 100 pictures of the exterior/interior. The interior pics were not so great. However, there are now much better pictures of the interior on Ivette’s website.
