Cipriani is set to launch Cipriani Residences Miami, their first-ever ground-up residences in the United States. The brand-new 80-story tower will be located at 1420 South Miami Avenue. Reigning over Brickell, Cipriani Residences Miami will offer views of Biscayne Bay and Simpson Park.

Each of the 397 one- to four-bedroom residences will have a ten-foot-high ceiling, floor-to-ceiling glass windows, a private outdoor space, and custom finishes and furnishings. Walk-in closets, standalone laundry rooms, and smart technology will also be included in each residence. Select residences will have access to elevators that open directly into the unit.

Cipriani created the modern design of the building in collaboration with Mast Capital and Arquitectonica. Founder and CEO of Mast Capital, Camilo Miguel Jr. said, “As an international symbol of elegance, style, and hospitality, with a vast, devoted following that spans four generations, Cipriani was our only choice for this project.”

“For four generations we have always tried to focus on our work, true to our values and honest with our customers,” Cipriani CEO, Giuseppe Cipriani explained. “This has allowed us to grow our name in over ten countries around the world and maintain a level of consistency that requires a lot of attention.”

Cipriani Residences Miami will also feature elegant, resort-style amenities. For food and drink, residents can enjoy a trademark Cipriani bar, resident-only dining, and private reservable dining rooms and lounges catered by Cipriani’s restaurant. Leisure facilities include two resort-style swimming pools, a fitness center, a spa with sauna and treatment rooms, a pickleball court, a golf simulator, and so much more. The residential tower will also provide a children’s playroom, library, dog park, hair salon, and barber station.

Cipriani told Forbes, “Miami has evolved tremendously attracting culture, business and entertainment, and guarantees and enviable quality of life. It is becoming a first or second residence for an increasing number of demanding and traveled individuals and families.” The Cipriani brand has already found success in Miami and upon the completion of Cipriani Residences Miami, its number of loyal customers will grow without a doubt.

The most highly anticipated project coming to South Beach, the iconic Five Park, brings together a group of celebrated visionaries. This eclectic group is comprised of Bernardo Fort-Brescia and Raymond Fort, from world-renowned architecture and design firm, Arquitectonica, acclaimed interior design firm Gabellini Sheppard, award-winning authority on design, Anda Andrei, curator and Editor-in-Chief of CULTURED Magazine, Sarah Harrelson, famed French conceptual artist, Daniel Buren, and more. The team is creating a new gateway to Miami Beach that redefines the notion of Miami Beach luxury in the neighborhood. Five Park aims to transform the meaning of luxury living and elevate the Miami Beach lifestyle.

Arquitectonica's Bernardo Fort-Brescia and Raymond Fort are the pioneers behind the bold architectural design of the 48-story tower, and will be spearheading the task of establishing Five Park as a new landmark on Miami Beach. They have designed an impressive structure that intertwines function, beauty and sustainability. The form of the building was inspired by the tranquil waters of Biscayne Bay, the lush environment of South Beach, and the vibrant culture of Miami.

"With Five Park, we're aiming to innovate in a way that has never been done before on Miami Beach," said Bernardo Fort-Brescia, co-founder of Arquitectonica. "The significant cylindrical shape of the luxury condominium tower provides abundant natural light, and unparalleled sweeping bay, ocean, and city views, making life in the clouds at this vantage point uniquely available at Five Park."

The interiors, designed by Kim Sheppard, FAIA, and Michael Gabellini, FAIA, from acclaimed New York firm, Gabellini Sheppard, are refined and luxurious. Incomparable elements include Gaggenau kitchen appliances, Italian oak kitchen cabinetry, stone countertops, lighting design by L'Observatoire, as well as an array of bespoke finishes across the units which will exceed the expectations of even the most discerning.

"Miami Beach has an incomparable, unique geographical location with the ocean and bay creating dual waterfronts. We drew upon that inspiration focusing on open floor plans, yielding unobstructed views, and alluring interiors which seamlessly blend the fluidity outdoors with the interior living spaces indoors," noted Kimberly Sheppard, FAIA, Design Partner at Gabellini Sheppard.

In addition to the inspired interior design by Gabellini Sheppard, the design aesthetic for the overall project is being guided by Anda Andrei, an award-winning authority on design, recognized for shaping the boutique and lifestyle hotel as we know it. Anda has designed Five Park in such a way that provides spaces for every mood and delight at every turn.

The future Five Park community will also have access to an impressive art collection throughout common spaces curated by the inimitable, Sarah Harrelson, Founder and Editor-in-Chief of CULTURED Magazine. Harrelson has an encyclopedic knowledge of the arts and has collaborated with some of the best up-and-coming artistic talents of our time throughout her career.

"We have tapped some incredible artists from across the globe to inspire the residents and continue the thread of creativity and storytelling throughout the expansive property," added Harrelson. "These talents represent some of the best emerging and mid-career artists in everything from sculpture, to ceramics, to large-scale painting. For all of those who reside at Five Park, we are curating a collection of art, experiences and moments certain to spark happiness and fulfillment."

Revolutionizing the resident experience, global hospitality strategists, Craft House, will provide a vast and luxurious amenity package. Craft House is celebrated for its deep expertise in the hospitality industry, including creating and curating exclusive hotels, private member's clubs, restaurants, and destinations. They will design the day-to-day experience at Five Park to further elevate the distinctive Five Park lifestyle.

"With Five Park, we're aiming to craft a holistic, modern Miami Beach lifestyle. Living at Five Park, you will experience unrivaled amenities at your fingertips for every facet of your daily life," mentioned Yvette Jong of Craft House.

With the help of Craft House, Five Park will offer multiple floors of amenities, including Miami Beach's premier resident-only members club, the Canopy Club. Soaring above Miami Beach on the 26th floor, the Canopy Club will be adorned with jewel-box tone spaces including an elegant, private dining room, and intimate bar, and lounge with an array of seating. The Canopy Club will also include state-of-the-art wellness and fitness areas and a signature spa with treatment rooms, with access to sunrise and sunset views. A dedicated club level concierge will be onsite to personalize each experience, whether indoors or outdoors, on the breezy terrace.

In addition to the amenities on the 26th floor, there will also be two more levels of amenities, including adult and children's pools, a pool-side cafe and bar, co-working stations alongside private offices and business suites, a screening room, a children's play area and teen lounge, and much more. On-site amenities will be bolstered by off-site beach access, and home owners will benefit from a resident-only beach club with beach transportation via the dedicated beach Moke.

Adjacent to the tower and slated for an earlier completion is Canopy Park, a three-acre public park intelligently-designed by Laurinda Spear's ArquitectonicaGEO. The community park will be a prominent green space in South Beach and boast lush, sustainable landscaping, an outdoor gym, a dog park, a whimsical playground designed by world-renowned Danish firm, MONSTRUM, and a public art installation by Miami-based sculptor Mark Handforth. Just as Five Park is doing for residential developments, Canopy Park will elevate and set a new standard for what a park should contribute to a community.

"Five Park's 'back yard' will essentially be this gorgeous, open green space where you can walk your dog, exercise, picnic, take in the public art, or simply play with your kids," noted Laurinda Spear, FAIA, ASLA, LEED AP, founder of ArquitectonicaGEO.

The overall Five Park and Canopy Park development will achieve long-term, overarching connectivity goals for the city as a whole, eventually adding a pedestrian bridge called the Miami Beach Canopy Bridge, dubbed Walking Along, Under and on the Colors by artist Daniel Buren. Connecting the park and tower to South of Fifth and West Avenue neighborhoods, the bridge will also provide residents and all those who enjoy Miami Beach, with a continuous loop of access to the Bayfront and all the neighborhood offerings.

The 158-foot-long enclosed bridge will feature a patchwork of translucent, colored glass panels that will filter a kaleidoscope of colors across the walkway, mirroring the vibrance and excitement of Miami Beach. Daniel Buren is a famed, French conceptual artist known for his bold designs that use strong graphics and striking colors. He's responsible for the some of the most famous and recognizable public art installations around the world, including the 260 black and white pillars at the Palais Royal in Paris and the sails of colored glass at Fondation Louis Vuitton.

"The bridge is a striking connector, welcoming one to explore the best of Miami Beach retail, dining, and culture," said artist Daniel Buren.

Located at 6800 Indian Creek Drive, Monaco Yacht Club & Residences is an exclusive enclave of thirty-nine luxurious waterfront residences and a private marina in collaboration with two of the most esteemed names in design, Piero Lissoni and Bernardo Fort-Brescia of Arquitectonica. It is slated for completion in Fall 2021.

HR: What was the design inspiration for Monaco Yacht Club & Residences’ interiors?

PL: In part, we were inspired by Mediterranean environments, particularly the Italian Riviera and the Côte d’Azur, and in part by the nautical world, especially by the Riva Aquarama boat. From the realization of the lobby floor as if it were the deck of a boat, to the choice of the chandelier that recalls a lobster net, to the nautical styling, everything is reminiscent of a yacht club.

HR: What colors and materials did you incorporate into the design in order to capture the South of France and the Mediterranean lifestyle?

PL: We were inspired by the nautical world of the 1950s. We used chrome, natural fabrics, soft and neutral colors with some dashes of stronger color. The Riva Aquarama is also renowned for this contrast between the wood and the light blue cushions. The reception desk is instead a deep-sea blue.

The apartments have two different typologies in terms of the “shades” employed. One version features soft and muted colors that are evocative of morning sea mists, with light, desaturated wood and some darker colors to provide contrast, while the second version features darker colors inspired by the night sea, the contrast here given by areas of white.

HR: Walk us through the design features that you are incorporating throughout MYC’s residences, including in the kitchen and bathrooms. What was the vision for the design, and what can residents expect to feel and see upon walking into their homes?

PL: We wanted to reproduce the feeling of being on a boat, both when entering on the ground floor, with the jetty that connects directly to the yachts, and also inside the apartments, with their magnificent views of the sea. The extensive use of large windows seeks to accentuate the relationship between the inside and the outside, as if you’re always living in the open air. In addition, the terraces are equipped with cooking facilities, further expanding the possibilities of life outdoors.

HR: How did you go about choosing each design and what makes them different from other residences you have designed for?

PL: Undoubtedly the floor in the reception, conceived as if it were the deck of luxury yacht, is fairly unique, as is the large chandelier reminiscent of a lobster net, which was the work of an artist we engaged. In the apartments themselves, there is this continuous dialogue between the inside and the outside, which is very special: as soon as you open the window, you have the whole expanse of the sea in front of you.

HR: Elaborate on your design of MYC’s lobby and “Resident’s Lounge” that features a library and breakfast bar for waterfront dining. How does the design reflect the building’s fun lifestyle and laid-back environment?

PL: Our aim was to realize a community, a true yacht club, so the communal spaces have been conceived with this in mind and to allow the whole structure and all the facilities to be used and lived, also by invited guests. The inhabitants and their guests can, for example, pause to read the newspaper or have a coffee in the communal areas. Also, here we wanted to bring a European way of living.

Photo Credit: Courtesy of Monaco Yacht Club & Residences

HR: Please briefly describe what role the Bayfront location played in the design of the project. How will the building’s design reflect Miami and its natural surroundings?

PL: The Bayfront relates directly with the structure. Features such as the floor or the model boats on the bookshelves, as if it were indeed a yacht club, are certainly elements that are special with respect to other residences.

HR: What type of lifestyle do you envision for residents at MYC?  What type of buyer do you envision will be interested in living at the property?

PL: Without a doubt, Monaco Yacht Club & Residences will attract buyers who love traveling and who are attracted by a European atmosphere, especially that of the Mediterranean, who like the leisurely feeling of a place where you have the sensation of being on holiday all year round.

HR: Tell us about your collaboration with Arquitectonica. How did you work with Arquitectonica to blend your ways of thinking, expertise and experiences together?

PL: There’s a very close relationship between the inside and the outside: in some ways the interior completes the architecture, and vice-versa.

HR: What is special or different about working on a project like MYC?

PL: The really special thing was to have been able to bring to America a particular area of Europe and its atmosphere.

The 41-unit development will have waterfront Biscayne Bay views and access to the ocean as a "boater's dream" thanks to its private marina.

Building amenities will include a rooftop pool deck and lounge area; a state-of-the-art fitness center with Technogym equipment, a yoga studio, a spa with massage treatment rooms, changing facilities, and steam bath and sauna rooms. Onda will also feature personalized services, advanced security and technology along with a front desk reception, covered valet drop-off area, personal parking spaces in a fully enclosed garage, electric vehicle charging stations and bicycle storage, and residential storage space. The building will offer an integrated digital concierge along with readily accessible WiFi throughout all public spaces, and FTTH (fiber to the home) technology for voice, video, and high-speed internet.

Developers Ugo Colombo of CMC Group and Valerio Morabito of Morabito Properties tasked architect Bernardo Fort-Brescia of Arquitectonica to design the 8-story building that has over 300 feet of bay frontage. With construction estimated to begin in Fall 2021 and completion in 2023, Onda (Italian for "wave") will become a highlight for the boats enjoying a day out under the South Florida sun.

Here, Haute Residence sat down with Morabito for a Q&A on the new development and its design, location, and amenities.

Haute Residence: You have a well-known portfolio of developments in South Florida. What new goal do you hope to accomplish with ONDA Bay Harbor?

Valerio Morabito: Our goal is to deliver a timeless product with top-quality finishes and materials. My partner Ugo Colombo and I prioritize attention to detail, craftsmanship, and stellar architecture and design – and Onda embodies all of these guiding principles. Onda will be the address of choice for buyers seeking a boutique style home with all the conveniences of luxury condo living and the amenities that come with owning a piece of the Bay Harbor waterfront – more than 300 feet of bay frontage, a private marina, and sweeping views of Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic Ocean.

HR: How did the design come about for ONDA? What was the focus when designing it with Arquitectonica?

VM: Onda is the Italian word for wave. We imagined a design that would embody the waves of the ocean. Onda’s undulating exterior balconies reflects the movement of the water and the beauty of the bay.

HR: What do you expect the condo market in South Florida to be like when the project is delivered in 2023?

VM: We believe the Miami market is going to be strong for quite a while. Many people from all over the country are realizing Miami isn’t just an amazing place to visit – it’s an amazing place to live and conduct business from. As the concept of remote work has become more commonplace post-pandemic, more and more people are want to spend more time in South Florida and ultimately making the move here lured by our tropical weather, ideal tax climate and lower cost of living. Miami is a very business friendly city. I personally fell in love with Miami 20 years ago and I don’t know what there is not to like about it! There’s not much product that’s readily available that can be delivered in the next couple years. Especially in Bay Harbor – there’s little to no inventory that’s oceanfront or waterfront.

Photo Credit: Tecma Solutions SpA

HR: In your opinion, what does a project as significant as ONDA say about the area of Bay Harbor Islands?

VM: Bay Harbor Islands is Miami’s best kept secret. Surrounded by some of South Florida’s finest shopping, beaches and schools, the area is synonymous with an upscale, family-oriented lifestyle that appeals to buyers from across the country and around the world. Onda will be a perfect addition to the neighborhood— a place immersed in nature, facing the crystal waters of Biscayne Bay and overlooking Haulover natural park. The ultimate oasis of peace and tranquility.

Colombo and Morabito previously partnered in 2016 to lead the development of Beach House 8, a nearby boutique waterfront condo building on Collins Avenue in Miami Beach. Most recently, Colombo and CMC Group delivered Brickell Flatiron, a 64-story luxury tower in Downtown Miami’s Brickell Financial District.

We sat down with Bernardo Fort-Brescia, founding principal of the award-winning international architecture firm, Arquitectonica, to learn more about his design inspiration for the nautically-themed, boutique Bayfront condominium.

Bernardo Fort-Brescia, FAIA, Arquitectonica

At just 12 stories, how did the boutique nature of Monaco Yacht Club & Residences inspire your design?

The scale of the building lends itself to a more exclusive and private living experience. It allowed us to offer discreet arrival to the units, fewer residents per floor, and proximity to the water.

Did it present any unique challenges or opportunities?

The challenge is always how to ensure all units face the water. That is the greatest asset south Florida offers. The broad frontage and favorable ratio of width to depth of the site allow the building to be situated parallel to the water's edge that provides an opportunity for increased sightlines of the dramatic widening of the Intracoastal Waterway offering expansive views of a lagoon-like setting.

From vision and concept, can you describe your design process from the beginning?

We begin always seeking the perfect layouts. We think of the eventual user and the lifestyle expected of an urban resort like Miami Beach. If I had to define the feel it is best described as relaxed luxury. Another aspect is the connection with nature the spaces needed to flow to the terraces. Because of the amazing weather in Florida, exterior living is an important part of the living experience. Outdoor living is key to relaxed luxury.

What was your design aesthetic for Monaco Yacht Club & Residences?

We thought the architecture had to have a nautical feeling. We wanted the residents to feel that they were on a luxury yacht because due to the proximity to the water one may not see land from an interior vantage point. Therefore, the idea of a yacht club emerged.

Photo Credit: Courtesy of Monaco Yacht Club & Residences

Where did you draw your design inspiration from?

I have always liked the coastal towns of the Italian Riviera and the sleek romantic designs of the yachts cruising the waterways. Yacht design has an aerodynamic aspect combined with warmth and elegance. This led us to combine white sweeping lines and warm tones that are reminiscent of the finest Italian yachts.

How did you adapt your design philosophy to the project?

Every project is unique to its place, purpose and scale. This project is unique and its low-slung proportions, fluid horizontal lines, soft curved geometries resulted in a design fitting to the time and place. It still falls within our brand of waterfront modernity, but with a twist that makes it fitting for the personality of the program and place.

Now let’s talk about the role that Monaco Yacht Club & Residences’ location in Miami Beach’s coveted MiMo District played on the building design.

How will the building’s design reflect Miami and North Beach?

Miami Beach is a 20th-century resort. Its architecture is decidedly modern and referential to the principles of the early modern masters. Many of its buildings are also inspired in naval architecture and this building continues that tradition, but in a more contemporary way, with more glass, larger terraces, and more organic fluidity of its curves rather than more traditional rigid geometries.

Photo Credit: Courtesy of Monaco Yacht Club & Residences

Are there any design features unique to Miami that were incorporated?

The outdoors identifies Miami’s brand. This building takes that branding seriously by using the roof as a pool deck. That ensures exposure to the sun, the ocean breezes, and long-distance views from a very special vantage point. There is nothing more romantic than panoramic sunset views of the intercoastal and downtown Miami beyond.

How does the architecture reflect the building’s natural surroundings and blend of the outdoors with the interior living?

One of the important aspects of the design is the amount of glass between the living areas and terraces. The indoor-outdoor feeling is key to tropical Florida living, more so if that feeling flows beyond the habitable spaces, into the water and the horizon.

How did the building’s Bayfront location on one of the area’s last remaining waterfront parcels inspire the design?       

Life on the water is both calming and invigorating. The opportunity to design on the water’s edge is always an inspiration for any project. There is an abundance of water activity with marinas along the seawalls and docks on both sides of the lagoon. The early morning rowers from the nearby rowing club crews add charm and dynamism to the project.

Photo Credit: Courtesy of Monaco Yacht Club & Residences

Explain how you incorporated the private marina into the project design. How did this amenity influence the overall property design?

The marina is integral to the design idea of the project and is part of the overall composition. The nautical design of the building continues into the actual naval architecture of the moored yachts in the marina along the waterfront of the site allowing the building and the yachts to coexist harmoniously.

Let’s discuss your method for working alongside an interior designer, such as Italian master architect Piero Lissoni on this project. How do your design philosophies complement each other? What do you think the end result will reflect?

We have worked with Piero before. We understand each other. We are both modernists, believers in the power of forms, of geometric purity, of the richness of materials within the boundaries of sophistication. Piero is the ultimate artist when it comes to interior design, his designs work well with our architecture. He blurs the boundaries between architecture and interior design so they appear seamless.

What is special or different about working on a project like MYC? What did you learn?

The beauty of this project is its human scale. Seldom in Miami Beach are there sites with this sense of an enclave for few residents who appreciate clean architectural lines and calm elegant interiors in a one-of-a-kind waterfront setting within the ultimate tropical global city that is Miami Beach.

The highly anticipated 57 Ocean condominium on Miami Beach’s iconic Millionaire’s Row announced that it has achieved an unprecedented $90 million sold in 3 months in the midst of the global pandemic.

The developer, Multiplan Real Asset Management, and 57 Ocean’s exclusive residential brokerage, Fortune Development Sales, have reported a string of back-to-back transactions at the property – with the total amount of sales now reaching 80 percent.  In the last 90 days, over $90 million in sales have gone under contract, including five of the property’s largest units, the Sky Residences. Featuring four bedrooms, five-and-a-half bathrooms, plus service quarters, the Sky Residences feature flow-through formats with both city and ocean views and are priced from $8.5M.

To be completed Fall 2021, high-net-worth individuals have been flocking to 57 Ocean (5775 Collins Ave.) from across the globe, but primarily from New York, which accounts for over 65% percent of the tower’s domestic purchases. Buyers have singled-out the project for its unparalleled location, contemporary designs by Arquitectonica and interior architect Patricia Anastassiadis, and robust assemblage of holistic “Blue Wellness” amenities and services.

“57 Ocean continues to outpace the rest of the area’s ultra-luxury condominium market,” said Marcelo Kingston, Managing Partner of Multiplan REAM.   “Our buyers understand the unprecedented value of living on the ocean in a brand-new, state-of-the-art boutique building that is not only well-sited in a tranquil, family-friendly neighborhood, but has such a distinct focus on holistic wellness. This project exceeds all expectations.”

“There’s no doubt that 57 Ocean is one of the most highly anticipated projects to enter the global prime property market,” said Edgardo Defortuna, President and CEO of Fortune International Group, the exclusive broker of 57 Ocean. “As evidenced by the sales momentum, the excitement only continues to build among well-heeled homebuyers who are increasingly attracted to some of 57 Ocean’s largest, flow-through floorplans -- the spectacular Sky Residences.”

The crown jewel of Millionaire’s Row, 57 Ocean recently announced the virtual unveiling of its $38 million penthouse, likened to a glittering, glass-adorned retreat in the sky.  The video realistically captures the property’s best features -- including 360-degree ocean, pearl white beaches, Intracoastal and vibrant city views from the 7,100+ square feet of outdoor terraces, along with airy, sunlit and spacious living areas -- each beautifully designed to maximize a seamless connection to the outdoors by Sofia Joelsson of Sofia Joelsson Design. Viewing the video, buyers can seemingly walk the halls of the 7,800+ square foot five bedroom, plus den, and six full bath home, receiving a personal guided tour that showcases the lifestyle and one-of-a-kind moments that are exemplary of what daily life in the penthouse entails.

57 Ocean is the brainchild of Dr. José Isaac Peres, Multiplan Real Estate Asset Management’s founder and one of the most globally acclaimed developers.  The condominium will offer two to four-bedroom residences, starting at $1.5 million with sizes ranging from 1,200 to 3,600+ square feet, as well as 18 flow-through Sky Residences. The well-appointed homes will feature expansive terraces, each stretching 12 feet deep, as well as contemporary Italian kitchens and baths by Poliform.

Five-star amenities will include a holistic spa by One Ocean Beauty and products from its marine-based skincare line, a wellness pavilion with a thermal suite and a relaxation and meditation area, along with poolside treatment cabanas, a state-of-the-art fitness center with top-of-the-line MyIsle training equipment by MyEquilibria, and an indoor Technogym fitness center. There will also be a children’s activity room, 24-hour concierge services, pool and beachfront concessions and attendants, direct access to the adjacent Miami Beach Walk, and more.

To commemorate the topping off, the development team -- including Matthew Barry, Managing Director of Optimum Asset Management USA; Jamie Telchin, Executive Director of Optimum Asset Management USA; Edgardo Defortuna, President and CEO of Fortune International Group; and Andrew McAllister, Co-President of Moss Construction South Florida -- took to the top of the building, where they popped champagne and posed for photos against a dramatic background of Biscayne Bay and the city skyline. Moss Construction additionally hosted a celebratory lunch for 250 of the company’s construction workers, engineers, and other contractors who have been instrumental in the tower’s rise.

Completion of the internationally-lauded project, which broke ground in February 2020, is on schedule to be delivered at the end of this year.

“Seeing Monaco Yacht Club & Residences come to life and now in its final dimensions is an especially proud moment,” said Matthew Barry, Managing Director of Optimum Asset Management USA. “The global response to the tower has been nothing short of compelling and a testament to its international appeal. Now more so than ever before, buyers are recognizing the importance of having the intimacy of a full-service boutique building combined with the exclusivity of being located on one of the last remaining waterfront properties in the area.”

With a coveted location in Miami Beach’s MiMo District, Monaco Yacht Club & Residences introduces a new dimension in sophisticated European design and elegant, waterfront living synonymous with the French Riviera to Miami Beach.

To be delivered fully-finished, each of the modern unit interiors was meticulously curated with precise attention to detail, inclusive of the refined Italian-made fixtures and finishes, with Arrigoni wide plank wood flooring from Austria.  The design palette of warm whites and rich woods for the lobby and the premier “Resident’s Lounge” -- featuring a library and breakfast bar for leisurely waterfront dining -- evoke a timeless, classic mood reminiscent of a luxurious Côte d’Azur summer resort and responds to the building’s program of luxury living, fun lifestyle, laid-back environment, and relaxed atmosphere.

“Luxury buyers from across the globe have been specifically seeking this project out for its boutique, full-service offering, unparalleled Bayfront location, and the rare opportunity to dock one’s boat in their very own backyard,” said Edgardo Defortuna, President and CEO of Fortune International Group, the project’s exclusive broker. “Combining the spectacular style and extraordinary talents of Piero Lissoni and Bernardo Fort-Brescia with an array of first-class services and amenities, Monaco Yacht Club & Residences celebrate the very best Miami Beach has to offer.”

It’s realty’s new reality. Video sells. Multiplan Real Estate Asset Management, the innovative developer behind 57 Ocean on Miami Beach’s historic Millionaire’s Row, who made national headlines last Spring by shipping a pair of Oculus goggles to a California buyer who in turn purchased a million-dollar-plus residence sight unseen, is now betting big on the power of video, debuting the building’s new spectacular penthouse in a $180,000 state-of-the-art video that infuses reality with the virtual world.

Photo Credit: DBOX

Produced by international award-winning creative agency, DBOX, the 90-second video, 1,100 hours in the making, spotlights the $38 million penthouse showpiece, likened to a glittering, glass-adorned retreat in the sky.  The video realistically captures the property’s best features -- including 360-degree ocean, pearl white beaches, Intracoastal and vibrant city views from the 7,100+ square feet of outdoor terraces, along with airy, sunlit and spacious living areas -- each beautifully designed to maximize a seamless connection to the outdoors by Sofia Joelsson of Sofia Joelsson Design.

Viewing the video, buyers can seemingly walk the halls of the 7,800+ square foot five-bedroom, plus den, and six full bath home, receiving a personal guided tour that showcases the lifestyle and one-of-a-kind moments that are exemplary of what daily life in the penthouse entails, from soaking in the dazzling, seemingly endless azure hues of the sky and sea from your very own private plunge pools to indulging in the ultimate relaxation, an outdoor massage amidst the calming sound of crashing waves and a light, balmy sea breeze to evoke all senses. Buyers are treated to a candlelit dinner al fresco surrounded by the most extraordinary sunset hues and experience firsthand what entertaining underneath a sky full of stars looks like in their exceptionally designed, unique club room and lounge area, without ever physically stepping foot into the penthouse.

“We are all living in a virtual world right now.  The pandemic has had a profound effect on buyers’ psyche, impacting their ability or willingness to travel.  Just as grocery markets are facing a new reality with Instacart, and art fairs and boat shows are going online, so too is real estate having its transformational moment,” said Marcelo Kingston, Managing Partner of Multiplan Real Estate Asset Management. “We believe we have created virtual lust for living at the apex of 57 Ocean, and that only a video can truly personify how the ultimate in luxury living has no limits.”

As a whole, 57 Ocean – to be completed in 2021 -- is already one of the most highly anticipated projects to enter the global prime property market, hailed for its designs by Arquitectonica and interior architect Patricia Anastassiadis, as well as its ocean-inspired holistic wellness amenities.  With health and wellness top of mind, the building’s proximity to the water and all of its health benefits, in addition to the city’s miles-long beach walk, make it an attractive “backyard.”

Inside the penthouse, the master living room will boast an expansive entertaining room with a gourmet chef’s kitchen and a sculptural wine cellar facing the ocean.  There will also be a behind-the-scenes preparation kitchen for special culinary events, while a lounge area will connect the interiors with outdoor spaces.  The master bedroom will be a “must-see” – outfitted with his and her closets and a unique bath with a shower and floating tub overlooking the ocean.  Just beyond the master suite will be a special spa area, encompassing plunge pools, a massage area shaded by a trellis, and an outdoor sauna for relaxation and extended therapies.  Ideal for fitness buffs, the home will have a private gym, as well as a skylight turf with a green area that’s perfect for putting practice.  Entertaining in the penthouse is a dream thanks to a uniquely designed club room, complete with a pool table, antique bar, and a plush home theater.  Additional standout features in the residence will include a private oceanfront office, a fully-equipped summer kitchen, an art gallery wall, and a one-of-a-kind pool that juts out over the building – blurring into the ocean beyond.

“This $38 million penthouse is truly the jewel in the crown of Millionaire’s Row,” said Edgardo Defortuna, President and CEO of Fortune International Group, the exclusive broker of 57 Ocean. “There is nothing like it on the market in the area, and we are thrilled to be innovatively showcasing it virtually to the world for the first time. The home’s connection to the ocean is unparalleled -- as is its private, resort-like feel in the epicenter of this tranquil, family-friendly neighborhood.”

57 Ocean is the brainchild of Dr. José Isaac Peres, Multiplan Real Estate Asset Management’s founder and one of the most globally acclaimed developers.  The condominium will offer two to four-bedroom residences, starting at $1.5 million with sizes ranging from 1,200 to 3,600+ square feet, as well as 18 flow-through Sky Residences, with pricing available upon request. The well-appointed homes will feature expansive terraces, each stretching 12 feet deep, as well as contemporary Italian kitchens and baths by Poliform.  Five-star amenities will include a holistic spa by One Ocean Beauty and products from its marine-based skincare line, a wellness pavilion with a thermal suite and a relaxation and meditation area, along with poolside treatment cabanas, a state-of-the-art fitness center with top-of-the-line MyIsle training equipment by MyEquilibria, and an indoor Technogym fitness center.

A testament to the international appeal of the property, Monaco Yacht Club & Residences continue to beckon savvy buyers who are drawn to its exceptional combination of world-class style and the intimacy and exclusivity of a full-service boutique building.

With two bedrooms and two and a half baths, plus a den with the option to convert into a third bedroom, the 2,407 square foot Residence E offers the unique opportunity for residents to directly access the exterior of the building and their own boat right off their terrace -- similar to having a boat lift in your own backyard.

Biophilia, as it has come to be known, is a concept rooted in wellness -- introduced several decades ago as a way to describe the insatiable human attraction to nature.

Researchers have long suggested that regular exposure to the great outdoors improves health -- from stress reduction and memory retention to mood elevation and beyond.  For this reason, and at a time when urban sprawl and concrete canyons have become commonplace for many city centers and surrounding communities, biophilia has evolved into a cornerstone of modern architecture and design -- a way to reconnect people to the beauty of the environment, both healthfully and sustainably.

At the forefront of this movement in Miami, specifically, is 57 Ocean, the widely-anticipated, ultra-luxury residential project on Miami Beach’s legendary Millionaire’s Row.  Comprising 71 residences on the Atlantic, the boutique building, which is slated for completion in September 2021 and was awarded Gold LEED certification (one of the most stringent classifications for eco-conscious residential and commercial development and construction), has set a ‘gold’ -- if not ‘green’ -- standard for seamlessly drawing the outdoors in.

Photo Credit: DBOX

Its visionary, Multiplan Real Estate Asset Management, which was founded by pioneering Brazilian developer Dr. José Isaac Peres, tapped award-winning landscape architect ArqGEO (the landscaping arm of Bernardo Fort-Brescia’s ARQUITECTONICA, the architect of 57 Ocean) to craft its unique biophilic designs.

The end-result is destined to give residents direct, private access to a bevy of enchanting, tranquil green spaces, including seaside meditation gardens -- the “genius loci” (or “spirit of place”) -- a curated wellness pavilion encircled by towering palms and thickets of tropical fauna, outdoor massage areas, and a spa with therapies by One Ocean Beauty.

In crafting these opulent leafy designs, the firm took cues from the project’s proximity to the ocean, citing the relaxing sound of breaking waves, year-round ocean breezes, and exceptional horizon views.  Vertical gardens on the ground floor of 57 Ocean’s façade, leading from the porte cochère to the double-height lobby, will add a sense of calm -- foreshadowing the experience inside.  With its parking garage underground, the connection from the first level to the beach will be seamless, complemented by an abundance of vibrant native species at the surface.

The extravagant, jungle-like setting, brimming with natural wonder, will be a rarity for the marketplace -- the likes of which few well-heeled homebuyers have ever seen in a luxury condominium.

Exclusively brokered by Fortune Development Sales, 57 Ocean will offer two- to four-bedroom residences, starting at $1.5 million, with sizes ranging from 1,245 to 3,474+ square feet. In addition to 20 flow-through Sky Residences, starting at $6.95 million, 57 Ocean has one remaining penthouse, priced at $35 million.

Photo Credit: DBOX

The well-appointed homes will have expansive terraces, each stretching up to 12 feet deep, as well as contemporary Italian kitchens and baths by Poliform.  Bathed in serene ocean breezes and soothing natural light, the homes feature thoughtfully-designed, tropically-inspired interiors from Brazilian designer Patricia Anastassiadis, whose artistry stems from the therapeutic powers of nature, the environment, and, most dramatically, the sea. Every element has been well-crafted to enhance the connection between interior and exterior, just as wood-like accents and glass further the building's ties to the seascape.

Additional amenities at 57 Ocean will include a state-of-the-art fitness center with top-of-the-line MyIsle training equipment by MyEquilibria, and an indoor Technogym fitness center. There will also be a children’s activity room, 24-hour concierge services, pool and beachfront concessions and attendants, direct access to the adjacent Miami Beach Walk, and more.

Sprawling designer residences at Miami Beach’s most hotly anticipated ultra-luxury condominium, 57 Ocean, are being bought up at record pace as well-heeled homebuyers worldwide continue singling out the boutique building for its holistic Blue Wellness-inspired amenities, five-star resort-like services, and direct access to the beach.

Amidst the coronavirus pandemic, the developer, Multiplan Real Estate Asset Management (MultiplanREAM), in tandem with exclusive sales broker Fortune Development Sales, are reporting that the condominium, which comprises 71 residences and is idyllically sited on 220 feet of rare unspoiled waterfront on the iconic Millionaire's Row (5775 Collins Ave.), is now approximately 60% sold.

57 Ocean topped off at 18 stories in August and is on-track for delivery in fall 2021.  Since its initial launch at the end of 2018, sales activity has been booming…and steadily increasing throughout the pandemic as buyers seek features that cater to their well-being and put a natural, pristine setting at convenient reach.

In the recent months, a trio of high-priced units went under contract -- homes listed at $7.85M, $7.8M, and $7.15M, respectively.  The project has since sold out of its coveted line of “Beach House” residences and is now nearly sold out of its three-bedroom units.

57 Ocean’s continued success is being attributed to the fact the condominium is a first-of-its kind for the area with details that set it apart from other luxury buildings -- such as its unique focus on health and wellness, and homes that boast massive interiors, large living room-like terraces, stackable sliding doors that seamlessly draw the outdoors in, and wood-accented ceilings.

“Our buyers know that 57 Ocean is rare, offering a lifestyle that surpasses all wants and needs – especially in the wake of COVID-19,” said Marcelo Kingston, Managing Partner, MultiplanREAM.  “The huge interiors, large terraces, the connection to the water, and focus on health and wellness are the ultimate combination.”Photo Credit: DBOX

Designed by award-winning architect Bernardo Fort-Brescia of ARQUITECTONICA, with interiors by Patricia Anastassiadis of Anastassiadis Arquitetos, 57 Ocean offers two- to four-bedroom residences, starting at $1.5 million, with sizes ranging from 1,245 to 3,474+ square feet.  The well-appointed homes feature expansive terraces, each stretching up to 12 feet deep, as well as contemporary Italian kitchens and baths by Poliform.

Owners can expect to enjoy a multitude of ‘green’ spaces, including a seaside wellness garden and vertical gardens on the ground floor of the building’s façade. Must-see amenities include a holistic wellness spa and pavilion with products by One Ocean Beauty -- complete with a thermal suite (with a steam room, aromatherapy saunas, and an ice fountain), relaxation and meditation area, and a private spa suite; two expansive infinity pools; a third-floor sunset deck; poolside treatment cabanas; a pool bar and social terrace lounge; summer kitchen pavilion with a grill area; a multi-purpose club room with chef’s kitchen for full gastronomic experiences; and a state-of-the-art fitness center with innovative MyIsle training equipment by MyEquilibria and an indoor Technogym fitness center.

There will also be a library, children’s activity room, 24-hour concierge, valet and security services, and pool and beachfront concessions and attendants. Residents will additionally have access to the adjacent Miami Beach Walk -- an ideal option for daily strolls or exercise along the shore.

Developer Multiplan Real Estate Asset Management celebrated the milestone today in tandem with the boutique oceanfront project’s exclusive sales broker, Fortune Development Sales, and the general contractor, Moss Construction.  57 Ocean (5775 Collins Ave.), which is now approximately 60% sold, comprises 71 residences and a myriad of five-star, Blue Wellness-inspired amenities and designs, including a holistic spa with products by One Ocean Beauty, a wellness pavilion with a thermal suite and relaxation areas, meditation and hanging gardens, poolside treatment cabanas, and beyond.  Completion of the internationally-lauded project, which broke ground in April 2019, is on-schedule for next fall’s projected delivery date. 

In the face of the COVID-19 outbreak, the team of visionaries took the opportunity to forego a traditional celebratory event by building a massive, six-foot-by-20 sand sculpture on the beach, adjacent to the site.  The sculpture -- featuring a relief of 57 Ocean’s iconic undulating exterior, designed to resemble waves on the water -- calls attention to the project’s ongoing support of the Oceana organization, which works to protect the world’s oceans.  Passersby are able to admire the whimsical piece while remaining socially distant and wearing complimentary 57 Ocean-branded masks.  They are also directed to visit the Oceana website, where they can learn more or contribute to the cause.  57 Ocean’s leaders will additionally host a beach clean-up with the Miami chapter of the Surfrider Foundation once coronavirus cases subside (an event which was initially slated to take place the week of the topping-off) -- all to commemorate the momentous occasion and further its support of the surrounding community.

“This is a triumphant day for us,” said Marcelo Kingston, Managing Partner of MultiplanREAM.  “Our team has worked tirelessly to ensure that all deadlines were met and expectations of our buyers are exceeded.  The global response to our project has been overwhelming.  To be more than halfway sold, with dozens of new prospective buyers reaching out to us daily -- recognizing the unmistakable value of a project of this size, scope, and setting -- is a point of pride to us, as well as to our founder, Dr. José Isaac Peres.” 

Dr. Peres, one of the world’s most well-known developers, founded MultiplanREAM and worked tirelessly to create the concept of 57 Ocean.  His love of the ocean and first-hand appreciation for the healthful benefits of living on the water -- as well as his long-time mantra that wellness is the ultimate luxury -- inspired the design.  Since its initial unveiling, buyers from across the globe have been flocking to 57 Ocean to purchase homes there.  Just this month, for example, the sales team announced the purchase of a $7.8 million Sky Residence to a Miami Beach resident, who singled-out the project for its new construction, amenities, and oceanfront setting.

“57 Ocean is unlike anything that’s currently on the market in Miami Beach,” said Edgardo Defortuna, founder and CEO of Fortune Development Sales.  “Our buyers know that this project is rare, offering a lifestyle that surpasses all wants and needs – especially in the wake of COVID-19.  These huge interiors, large terraces, the connection to the water, and focus on health and wellness are a winning combination that simply cannot be overlooked.” 

“We are proud to be celebrating this milestone today ahead of schedule -- a testament to the leadership, expertise, and excellence that have guided 57 Ocean and its rise,” said Scott Moss, CEO of Moss Construction. “This is an absolutely beautiful project that is going to be a huge point of pride for Miami Beach and South Florida, as a whole.  The attention to detail is profound -- from the unique undulating façade of the building to the stackable sliding doors that seamlessly draw the outdoors in, and the wood-accented ceilings.  57 Ocean is truly a first-of-its kind project for the area with details that will set it apart from all other luxury buildings.”

Watch the webinar below.

Natiivo Miami is a gamechanger in the “eat, work, live and play” world of development. Within Natiivo Miami is Creative HQ, Miami’s first-ever creative office-condos, giving flexibility to owners, as well as the use of Natiivo’s exclusive members-only concept, Natiivo Social. Natiivo Social is three floors of curated amenities, including a pool with pool-side cabanas, outdoor terraces, state-of-the-art fitness center, restaurant and cocktail bar, outdoor dining, entertainment spaces, media room, programmed events, speakeasy, DJ booth, Peloton studio, yoga, and more.

Highlight from the webinar:

"We saw a shift in hospitality," said Menin as he spoke of the project's beginnings. "We identified an amazing piece of property in downtown Miami. So we really wanted to create as a family a unique tower, not just a rental building, or a condominium with a gym but really something special. We are building a fantastic building that's over 50 stories tall. The first six floors are an incredible brick facade, which is going to be an office condo called Creative HQ, which is being sold by ONE Sotheby's International Realty. (Furthermore,) Natiivo Social is 70,000 square feet of the most amazing amenities that anybody has seen."

"We took the elements of what was the historic downtown," said Fort. "We looked at the Freedom Tower. We looked at the older brick buildings than in downtown in downtown Miami. We even looked at older brick buildings in Miami that were previously demolished, just to understand what used to be there, and we took that as the inspiration for what are the office levels of the project."

"In a platform like Natiivo, as it's going to be a lot of home-sharing, they have the hotel components," said Xakoustis. "The design (team) is going to make sure that it's doable, buildable, and that will last a long time. At this point, every builder, every developer, they're very careful with their budgets and what they offer. You have to be on your best game and create a product that is going to be amazing. Being part of this great team, I think it wasn't that difficult for us we follow the leads and we try to to make them shine."

Menin put in perspective the different options that the building allows. "We're really a building that's very flexible. I think we're selling so successful because people like (that) there's not really a restriction. You know, it's not a condotel that the deed is not a deed. It's not just a residential tower where you can rent out short term. You can buy real estate and do as you wish, with our rules and regulations."

Cervera Real Estate is handling sales for Natiivo Miami and its residential offerings. Natiivo Miami has continued its remarkable sales momentum and the building is well over 50% sold.

Haute Living's April Donelson hosted Matthew Barry, Managing Director at Optimum Asset Management USA, Edgardo Defortuna, President and CEO of Fortune International Group, and Thomas Mooney, Director of the Planning Department in the City of Miami Beach. Watch the webinar below.

The conversation included a detailed presentation of the fine living to be soon experienced by a select number of buyers at Monaco Yacht Club & Residences, which is being developed in collaboration with two of the top names in design, Piero Lissoni and Arquitectonica.

"One of the highlights of anywhere in Miami Beach is the views. Every unit has the West view across the Intracoastal Waterway," said Barry. He added his personal experience as he detailed the unparalleled landscapes found at Monaco Yacht Club & Residences. "We are fortunate to have a wide Bayview so it is not only unobstructed with the water, it is unobstructed because of the single-family homes and the islands across from us. Having had the privilege in my own life to live in Miami Beach on both, the bay and ocean sides, my wife and I prefer the bayside. More activity, boating, and a lot more happen during the day on the bayside, and then at night after sunset. You get to see the city of Miami come to life, and the dynamic architecture and lighting of the city is always interesting and attractive."

Defortuna and his team at Fortune have presented the Monaco Yacht Club & Residences virtually during the quarantine. "We have a wonderful team of agents," he said. "When we were ready to open the sales center, they couldn't really get the personal touch and the personal feeling (with buyers) due to quarantine restrictions, so we delivered more of a digital presentation." The sales gallery is now open at 6897 Collins Avenue, just a short walking distance from the property site.

He also spoke about the smart investment that buyers will gain. "In comparative values , we are very attractive and, on top of that, you can have your boat docked right at your doorstep. The prices are going to adjust and, I think that being the pioneers in this area for this quality building, the buyers that are going to buy here are going to really see significant increases in their price."

As a distinguished public servant with a career spanning more than 30 years, Mooney spoke expertly about the City of Miami Beach and the different steps and regulations that have been taking place to develop and reenergize the North Beach area (approximately 69th Street to 72nd Street south to north, and Indian Creek Drive to Collins Avenue east to west). "The key here was to develop a more consistent and holistic set of development regulations that strive to create a walkable, 24-hour town center area. The goals of the area were to not just spur development, but to also spring the right type of development."

The two lines of residences -- referred to as styles ‘No. 2’ and ‘No. 6’ -- are representative of a duo of unique layouts that will be offered within building. Marked by voluminous light-filled living spaces, high ceilings, and postcard-worthy views, each dwelling is a standout.

Direct vistas of the Atlantic Ocean define residence style No. 2, complemented by a grand, 12-foot deep terrace with stackable floor-to-ceiling glass doors – amplifying the seamless indoor-outdoor connection that has made 57 Ocean such a global draw. Calming breezes and the peaceful sounds of waves gently breaking against the beach will be enjoyed year-round from this coveted amenity. Comprising two bedrooms, two baths, and a sizeable 10-foot by 10-foot den (which can be used as an office, a playroom, or guest room), the floorplan is conveniently split. Pricing for the No. 2-style residence starts at $4.2 million.

The No. 6-style residence is a desirable west-facing corner abode, marked by azure views of Biscayne Bay as well as partial views of the glimmering Atlantic. This offering also features a striking, 12-foot deep wraparound terrace, complete with stackable glass doors. Prices for these lavish homes start at $2 million.

Adding to their unmistakable appeal, each of the well-appointed units that make up both lines -- No. 2 and No. 6 -- will be replete with countless contemporary comforts and conveniences, including Italian kitchens and baths by Poliform.

In creating 57 Ocean, Dr. Peres set out to ensure that the building and its 71 residences captured the essence of the location, allowing residents to immerse themselves in the serenity that surrounds them. Here, the infinity of the ocean into the horizon, the fresh air, and the Caribbean waters are appreciated throughout -- with wellness being naturally promoted as an essential to the experience. The prism-shaped property is a glass-clad jewel on the coastline, illuminated by the sun and reflecting the sea and sky beyond. From avenue to ocean, the architects -- a tour de force collaboration between international award-winning firm Arquitectonica and Brazilian interior designer Patricia Anastassiadis -- have mastered a natural flow at ground level, connecting common areas to the beach-side terraces as well as the pool and adjacent dunes. Enchanting vertical gardens at the base of the building’s façade lead from the porte cochère to the double-height lobby. Wood-like accents and glass further the building's ties to the seascape, and state-of-the-art holistic spa and fitness amenities serve as reminders that physical well-being is a key part of a resident's happiness.

Additional residential offerings include two- to four-bedroom homes, ranging from 1,200 to 3,600+ square feet, as well as a $35 million penthouse with 360-degree views, 7,500 square feet of indoor space, and an additional 7,000+ square feet of outdoor terraces. Fortune Development Sales is the exclusive residential brokerage.

For Roberts, the draw of 57 Ocean -- an internationally lauded haven on Miami Beach’s Millionaire’s Row, Greater Miami’s most elegant stretch of beachfront on Collins Avenue -- was undeniable, having already been singled-out by buyers worldwide for its Blue Health-oriented lifestyle and ocean-inspired amenities.

“I love this location and being able to live in a brand-new condominium on the Atlantic with so many amenities that are geared toward building a healthier lifestyle, including the calming effect of the ocean and daily strolls along the beach,” said Roberts. “This penthouse offers the best of both worlds as it’s going to have unobstructed views of the water on one side, and the city on the other. The neighborhood is also excellent. It’s more tranquil and family-friendly as it’s primarily comprised of residents versus tourists, yet I’m just a five-minute drive from South Beach.”

“I am honored to represent such a significant sale in one of Miami’s most high-profile addresses,” said Dina Goldentayer Panchernikov. “We know our client will be very happy to call 57 Ocean home.”

Overlooking 220 feet of rare unspoiled waterfront, Penthouse II boasts 5,205 square feet of indoor space and 2,141 square feet of outdoor terraces. The gorgeously appointed residence will feature a grand master bedroom with a unique outdoor spa area overlooking the Atlantic, three en suite bedrooms, five-and-a-half-baths baths, a den, home theater, outdoor summer kitchen, spacious living areas, and a gourmet chef-style kitchen.

Located at 5775 Collins Avenue, between Atlantic Heights and Mid-Beach -- and fashioned by the international award-winning firm Arquitectonica -- 57 Ocean enjoys close proximity to Miami’s chic Bal Harbour Shops, the prestigious La Gorce Country Club and Golf Course, and privileged views across Miami’s most exclusive expanse of beachfront. Slated for completion in 2021, the 18-story, holistic wellness-focused property will equally embrace luxury and nature with its tropically-inspired interiors by Brazilian designer Patricia Anastassiadis. Seventy-one spacious homes will evoke a sense of timelessness and tranquility that only the turquoise waters of the Atlantic can provide.

“Health, wellness, beauty, vitality -- these are the hallmarks of a life well-lived for the world's most sophisticated and discerning real estate buyers -- and nothing embraces these qualities better than well-designed homes nestled along the water,” said Marcelo Kingston, Managing Partner of Multiplan Real Asset Management, developer of 57 Ocean. “We are pleased that this buyer will soon enjoy an enclave of sophisticated families who appreciate the many benefits of living by the sea.”

It is from this inimitable, unspoiled setting and boundless blue vistas that 57 Ocean -- a haven on Miami Beach’s Millionaire’s Row, Greater Miami’s most elegant stretch of beachfront on Collins Avenue -- draws its inspiration.  Fashioned by the international award-winning firm Arquitectonica, every facet of the boutique condominium’s design -- from time-honored, natural materials to the soft, undulating façade and ocean-inspired amenities -- is a celebration of the sea at its most sublime.

In creating 57 Ocean, the project’s visionary, Dr. José Isaac Peres, revered founder of Multiplan Real Estate Asset Management, set out to ensure that the building and its 71 voluminous residences captured the essence of the location, allowing residents to immerse themselves in the serenity that surrounds them.  Here, the infinity of the ocean into the horizon, the fresh air, and the Caribbean waters are appreciated throughout -- with wellness being naturally promoted as an essential to the experience.

Slated for completion in 2021, the prism-shaped property is a glass-clad jewel on the coastline, illuminated by the sun and reflecting the sea and sky beyond.  From avenue to ocean, the architects have mastered a natural flow at ground level, connecting common areas to the beach-side terraces as well as the pool and adjacent dunes.  Enchanting vertical gardens at the base of the building’s façade lead from the porte cochère to the double-height lobby, while walls of glass seamlessly coax the outdoors in.  

Two- to four-bedroom homes, ranging from 1,200 to 3,600+ square feet, are exceedingly comfortable while lavish, merging classic details with contemporary elements such as beautifully-appointed Italian kitchens and baths by Poliform.  Deep terraces shade the glass surfaces that open up to sweeping water views, and balcony edges extend toward the south, as if influenced by wind and wake.  Every aspect has been well-crafted to enhance the connection between interior and exterior:  Wood-like accents and glass further the building's ties to the seascape, and state-of-the-art holistic spa and fitness amenities serve as reminders that physical well-being is a key part of a resident's happiness. 

With such meaningful, artfully-crafted links between nature and self, 57 Ocean is a place where the ocean is an extension of home…and home is the healthiest place to be.
