Engel & Völkers closes record $50mln deal on Mountainhead Estate from HBO film starring Steve Carell
The property is perched atop a mountain ridge in Deer Valley, near Park City in the US state of Utah, and was designed by Salt Lake City-based architect Michael Upwall, renowned for his signature "Mountain Modern" style. Spanning approx. 21,500 square feet (around 2,000 square meters) across seven levels, the residence features minimalist architecture with modern wood, marble, and glass elements.
The upper floors include seven bedrooms and 16 bathrooms, along with multiple kitchens, living rooms, and dining areas. The lower levels boast an impressive array of amenities: a full-size indoor basketball court, a private bowling alley, an indoor climbing wall, a golf simulator with a dynamic floor, a wine cellar with bar, a home theater, a sauna, and a luxury wellness area. Outdoors, a 5,000-square-foot (approx. 465 square meters) heated terrace offers panoramic views across the valley and features an infinity-edge pool and hot tub. One of the property's most unique highlights is its private gondola, providing direct access to the adjacent ski resort.
'Our seller, Doug Bergeron, Senior Advisor to a leading private equity firm based in Chicago, created a mountain masterpiece. His bold ideas and relentless pursuit of excellence helped shape a home unlike anything the state had ever seen – so iconic it's now been captured on the big screen.'
Engel & Völkers has sold the approx. 21,500-square-foot (approx. 2,000-square-meter) estate featured in the film Mountainhead, starring Steve Carell, for over 50 million US dollars (approx. 43.2 million euros).

‘If you're watching this, I'm dead': Influencer Tanner Martin announces his death at 30
'Hey, it's me, Tanner. If you're watching this, I am dead.' For the past several years, Tanner Martin documented his colon cancer diagnosis for hundreds of thousands of followers. That included rounds of chemo and radiation and half a dozen major surgeries, as well as a visit to his future gravesite. It also included more joyful moments, like a vow renewal ceremony in Ireland with his wife, Shay Martin, and other trips abroad. Just last month, it included the arrival of their first child, AmyLou, after the in vitro fertilisation experience they chronicled. But on June 25, Shay Martin, Tanner's wife, posted one final video on behalf of her husband, who had recorded the message to be posted when he died. He was 30. The five-minute video has been viewed more than eight million times on TikTok, and over three million times on Instagram. Watch the video below: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Shay Martin (@tannerandshay) Tanner was diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer in November 2020. In February 2023, he learned that the cancer was terminal. And in April of that year, the couple began posting on TikTok about his treatments, their grief and preparations for Tanner's eventual death. The Washington Post visited the family as they were preparing for their daughter's birth. Tanner died at home in American Fork, Utah, on Wednesday surrounded by family, Shay said. Her husband recorded the goodbye video in March. 'I had a heck of a life,' Tanner says in the video, adding that recording a message before his death was 'a good opportunity to get all your thoughts out.' He added that it might give his wife the space to grieve. The couple posted less than a week ago that he had entered hospice care. Who was Tanner Martin? Tanner Martin was born on December 22, 1994, in Salt Lake City before moving to China and Taiwan for a few years with his parents, Kimberly Watts and Tom Martin, who taught English. The family eventually settled in Draper, Utah. When he was 18, Tanner served in a mission in Arizona for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. That's where he met Shay, whose father, Steve Wright, was a bishop in the church. Two stayed in touch on Facebook and eventually reconnected back in Utah. They married in 2018. Tanner was pursuing a master's degree to become a marriage and family therapist when he was diagnosed with cancer. Shay first started sharing updates on social media as a way to keep family up to date onTanner's treatment. But they quickly discovered a network of cancer fighters and caregivers. 'Death is like a new adventure' 'Being my age, none of my friends were going through anything similar,' Shay said in an interview on June 26 as she took a break from feeding AmyLou. 'It was really nice to met people in similar situations that we could connect with.' The couple wanted to be open about their experiences, 'the good, the bad, the ugly, the hard and the beautiful,' she said. 'It's been both beauty and really hard.' In the video, Tanner asks his followers to continue to support his wife and their daughter with donations and gift cards. 'I'm going to guess Jiaozi will probably like milk,' he says with a laugh, using a nickname for AmyLou, before holding his head in his hand. She earned the nickname Jiaozi, which means dumpling in Mandarin, at the couple's first ultrasound when Tanner dotingly noted the resemblance. 'Life was awesome. I really enjoyed it while I was here,' Tanner says. 'I believe there's something after this. I'm excited to meet those people, and hopefully we're hanging out now and making fun of all you nerds.' He left with a few words of advice: Be kind to one another and assume good intent from others. 'Death is scary, but it's also like a new adventure, you know,' he says. 'I'm excited to see what the experience is like, and hopefully it's good.'

Oscar winner Adrien Brody graces Mr. Eight's Dubai Islands launch
Hollywood icon joins an exclusive guest list at the unveiling of Villa del GAVI, adding star power to the luxury waterfront development's debut Mr. Eight Development, a leading European real estate developer with over 20 years of experience, has reached a major milestone. Within just weeks of its launch, the company has sold over 60% of the units at its latest Dubai Islands project, Villa del GAVI - surpassing initial expectations by a wide margin. Meanwhile, the developer's debut project, Villa del DIVOS, is nearing full occupancy, with only a handful of units remaining. The stunning waterfront development was officially unveiled during an exclusive launch event at Atlantis The Royal, drawing an elite audience of celebrities, influencers, investors, and industry leaders. Among the distinguished guests was Academy Award-winning actor Adrien Brody, who took part in the ribbon-cutting ceremony. His presence added global prestige and an artistic flair to the occasion. Brody's recent lead role in The Brutalist - in which he plays an architect envisioning a bold new future - struck a powerful chord with the architectural philosophy behind Villa del GAVI. The parallels between the film's cinematic narrative and the real-world design of the project highlighted the development's commitment to timeless, expressive, and purpose-driven architecture. The project's strong sales performance is largely fueled by European buyers, who make up approximately 90% of purchasers to date. Most investors hail from Germany, Spain, France, Belgium, and the UK, with growing interest now emerging from Japan and China. "We believe that true luxury begins with space, design, and experience," said Emils Daujats, director at Mr. Eight Development. "That's why we made a deliberate decision to exclude one-bedroom units from Villa del GAVI. This curated approach has clearly resonated with buyers, and the sales performance so far proves that the market is ready for a more thoughtful interpretation of premium living." "Our buyers prioritize quality, service, and above all, uninterrupted sea views," he added. "When a home offers a direct view of the water, price becomes a secondary factor. These residences are limited in number, and demand is extremely high." At Villa del GAVI, a limited selection of two- and three-bedroom units - including premium corner residences with sweeping sea views - remains available. The four-bedroom layouts are nearly sold out. Prices start at Dh3.6 million, with a flexible 35/65 payment plan. Handover is scheduled for Q4 2027. Villa del GAVI marks Mr. Eight Development's second project on Dubai Islands and continues the brand's commitment to boutique-inspired residences crafted with the finest finishes. Each home in the 12-story tower offers panoramic views of the Gulf and features high-end interiors, including Italian travertine stone, Fabel Casa kitchens, SMEG appliances, and Tom Dixon fixtures. Residents will also enjoy an array of thoughtfully curated amenities, such as two infinity pools, a Technogym fitness center, and exclusive access to the Mr. Eight Priority Club. The Mr. Eight Priority Club unites all of the brand's developments on Dubai Islands into one exclusive community. Members benefit from access to a unique suite of luxury experiences, including chauffeur-driven Rolls-Royce vehicles, a private Riva motorboat with a captain, golf carts, and à la carte services such as in-residence spa treatments, personal training, childcare, and 24/7 maintenance - making it the only lifestyle offering of its kind on the island. Mr. Eight Development is now entering its strongest growth phase, with several new launches planned on Dubai Islands and across other key locations in Dubai. These upcoming projects reflect the brand's bold vision and growing momentum. A series of high-impact events is also on the horizon, each designed to immerse visitors in the elevated lifestyle that defines every Mr. Eight development.
