When last year Shakira separated from Gerard Piqué With scandal, one of his first decisions was to leave the common home of Barcelona together with his two children, cross the ocean and settle in Miami.
In that city of USAthe Colombian already had a luxurious property located in the exclusive sector of Miami Beachand specifically in North Bay Roada desirable seaside street where other celebrities like Jennifer Lopez, Matt Damon and Alejandro Sanz They also have properties.
However, the singer has been trying to get rid of the mansion since day one. The house, valued at about 11 million dollarshas been on sale even before Shakira decided to rebuild her life in the South Floridawithout finding a buyer.
A situation that may seem strange, but that has a very deep explanation that recently emerged.
Below sea level
The Spanish journalist Omar Suarez revealed on the show “Party”of the chain Telecincorevealed that the problem is not the price but rather a serious structural defect that makes it practically uninhabitable.
“If he hasn’t sold it, he’s not going to sell it anymore. Nobody wants it because of the condition of the house,” said the Spanish journalist.
And the worst thing is that the person most responsible is Shakira herself, who ordered some renovations that are completely out of the norm: He placed the baths below sea level and if there is a heavy rain, the beautiful property is filled… with poop.
“The bathrooms would be below the water level. As the years went by, the water level increased and every time it rained, all the Miami Beach sewage They end up at Shakira’s house,” Suárez explained.
There is a fix for this unpleasant inconvenience, although at a very high cost, because it would involve raising the construction above sea level and placing a large pipe underneath, and there are few companies capable of carrying out this complex intervention.
The real estate brokers Those in charge of selling the luxurious mansion tried to keep the problem a secret and there were interested parties, but they quickly fled when they discovered that they ran the risk of ending up covered in fecal matter.
