The developer of Las Vegas’ towering Fontainebleau resort has picked up a massive house in the suburbs — from a former Golden Knights fan favorite.
Property records indicate that developer Jeffrey Soffer and his wife, Colleen, acquired a two-story, 9,857-square-foot home in the Summit Club, a wealthy enclave of Las Vegas’ Summerlin community, for $25 million.
The sale, by former NHL goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury, closed last month, records show.
The mansion wasn’t formally listed for sale, so its luxe features weren’t publicized on real estate sites such as Zillow. But Clark County records show that the six-bedroom, eight-bathroom house was built last year, that it occupies a 0.8-acre lot, and that its garage alone spans around 2,100 square feet.
Soffer’s real estate firm, Florida-based Fontainebleau Development, did not provide any comments for this story.
Fleury, who retired from the NHL in 2025 after a 21-season career, spent four seasons with the Golden Knights, starting with their inaugural campaign in 2017. Being a former first-overall draft pick and three-time Stanley Cup winner with the Pittsburgh Penguins, the star goalie was the face of the new hockey franchise in Las Vegas.
Multiple attempts to reach Fleury for comment, including through his agent from his playing days, were unsuccessful.
Las Vegas luxury real estate broker Kamran Zand, who represented the seller and the buyer in the deal, declined to comment.
Paper trail
Located off Town Center Drive south of Flamingo Road, the Summit Club is a guard-gated enclave packed with mansions and other luxury homes. It has drawn such buyers as movie star Mark Wahlberg; tennis legend and Las Vegas native Andre Agassi; Raiders owner Mark Davis; and billionaire Don Hankey, whose holdings include a subprime auto lending business.
As with other luxury housing deals in Las Vegas, Fleury’s newly built mansion changed hands from one obscure limited-liability company to another. However, public records such as real estate sales documents, business-entity registrations and mortgage paperwork show the people behind the high-priced transaction.
The new owners bought the house through an entity that has the same mailing address as Fontainebleau Development’s corporate headquarters outside Miami, in Aventura, Florida.
Colleen Soffer is named as manager of the entity, and Jeffrey Soffer is named as borrower for the $15 million mortgage on the home, according to Nevada business-entity filings and Clark County records.
Those county records also show that, as the borrower, Jeffrey Soffer owns the property or has the right to use and occupy it.
The Real Deal, a real estate news group, recently reported that the developer married one Colleen Schiff in 2024 in a ceremony at the Fontainebleau.
‘Ups the ante for opulence’
Soffer – who has a net worth of $1 billion, according to Forbes magazine – acquired the iconic 1950s-era Fontainebleau hotel in Miami Beach in 2005 and unveiled plans for a Fontainebleau on Las Vegas Boulevard that same year.
He eventually opened the 67-story luxury hotel-casino, on the north edge of the Strip, in 2023.
The celebrity-packed grand opening was the culmination of a lengthy, volatile journey for the project. For years a visible casualty of Las Vegas’ real estate meltdown, the property changed hands twice before Soffer reacquired the long-unfinished resort in 2021, obtained a $2.2 billion construction loan, and completed the project.
The resort, however, had a rocky start, marked by multiple leadership departures within several weeks of its debut, visibly light crowds, and a social-media post showing a paltry plate of nachos from the Fontainebleau that reportedly cost more than $20 and sparked ridicule online.
The resort has also received accolades. In 2024, Time magazine named the Fontainebleau to its list of World’s Greatest Places, saying it “ups the ante for opulence” in Las Vegas, with some three dozen bars, restaurants and nightclubs and a pool deck that spans more than 6 acres.
Also, the Michelin Guide gave the resort a one-key designation and says its restaurants feature concepts from a “who’s-who of well-known restaurateurs.”
‘Fire bar’
Fleury’s name was on the deed that recorded the sale to the Soffers, albeit misspelled as “Mark” in one spot, and state records list him as manager of the entity he used in the deal.
Plus, the entity links Fleury to another luxury home in Las Vegas that a former listing agent previously confirmed was owned by the hockey star.
With the house he sold last month, Fleury bought the then-vacant plot of land for $3.9 million in February 2021, property records show, just five months before the Golden Knights traded him to the Chicago Blackhawks.
In 2023, the Clark County Building Department issued a building permit for a custom single-family house on the site, records show.
Last year, a permit application filed with the county for a gas line for a fire pit and “fire bar” at the site listed both the project name, and the property owner’s name, as just one word.
“Fleury.”
