About this property
The property at a glance
Club Madonna – Iconic South Beach Property Now Offered for Sale The home of the legendary Club Madonna, an iconic gentlemen’s club located in the heart of South Beach, is now being offered for sale for the first time in more than half a century. Owned and operated by Leroy Griffith, a pioneer of the burlesque entertainment era, the property represents a rare and historic opportunity in one of the most famous nightlife destinations in the world. After decades of ownership, Mr. Griffith has elected to retire, creating a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to establish the next generation of a globally recognized South Beach institution. This offering includes the real estate that houses Club Madonna, which is uniquely significant as the only property in the City of Miami Beach where live adult entertainment is permitted under the City’s zoning code. For decades, this celebrated venue has been the only live adult entertainment club on historic Miami Beach, drawing visitors from around the world. The property consists of a 1948 two-story building, along with an adjacent structure of approximately 600+ square feet, presenting significant opportunities for modernization, expansion, and repositioning. With thoughtful redevelopment, the site has the potential to become one of the top-rated adult entertainment venues in the industry. This is a truly rare chance to acquire a landmark nightlife property in one of the most internationally recognized destinations in the United States.

Illustrative only. Commercial loans are underwritten on the property’s income (DSCR, cap rate) — typically 25–35% down with lender-set terms. Ask a commercial lender for real numbers. Taxes reflect the most recent bill on record; insurance is a typical-Florida estimate. Your lender’s numbers will differ. CENTURY 21 Edge partners with Florida’s best lenders.
Financing
Commercial financing works differently from a home loan — expect roughly 25–35% down with terms driven by the property’s income and your lender’s underwriting (DSCR, cap rate), not FHA or VA programs. Ask David to connect you with a commercial lender for real numbers.
