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.

Luxury real estate developer recently closed on a 5.6-acre beachfront location on Providenciales’ world-famous Grace Bay Beach.

Beach Enclave Turks & Caicos, a premier luxury real estate developer and hospitality operator, has secured one of the few development opportunities remaining on the highly desirable Grace Bay Beach, with direct sunset views over the ocean. As a testament to the Beach Enclave brand and experience, the project is 100 percent pre-sold to repeat guests and owners of Beach Enclave Turks and Caicos, even prior to the acquisition of the land.

“We could not pass up the opportunity to acquire beachfront land on the most beautiful stretch of Grace Bay, the undisputed best beach in the world, particularly when it’s located immediately adjacent to our recently opened Beach Enclave Grace Bay,” said Vasco Borges, CEO and founder of Beach Enclave. “Early in the acquisition stage, we set up a focus group with owners and guests to understand the trends arising from the pandemic. A lot of what we have recently added – such as fully sustainable homes, rooftop spaces, an array of sports activities open exclusively to guests and owners, and office spaces – came from those conversations. To our delight, we sold all of the homes at this new site to owners and guests who participated in this focus group.”

The project will consist of a collection of beachfront estate homes with more than 6,000 square feet of living space under air conditioning and an additional 6,000 square feet of outdoor living space. The homes will feature a rooftop area for either an evening lounge or an expansive master bedroom, private office areas, and at least five bedrooms with beach and sunset views.

At its new location, Beach Enclave will offer unprecedented amenities for a boutique resort, including a collection of golf holes featuring a 100-yard range, two tennis courts, beach volleyball courts, a private gym with a Peloton cardio area, a yoga deck, and an evening lounge with a fire pit and family-friendly games such as corn hole, bocce court, and a horseshoe pit. The resort will also feature a green reserve and solar energy options.

Now that Summer is close to ending, what do you see as the takeaways from the last six months?

COVID has been a game-changer and one with ebb and flow like the ocean tides. The State of Hawaii has seen strong interest from the continental United States. Internet site activity off the charts. The neighbor islands in particular, the resort communities along the Kohala Coastline on the Big Island of Hawaii and the Wailea/Makena and Kapalua/Kaanapali coastlines on Maui have enjoyed the majority of the “sight unseen facetime/zoom time" purchases.

We have seen multiple buyers fly to the Islands and quarantine in place for 14 days just to get to Hawaii with the objective of purchasing a property. I have had two buyers who have actually written offers with the contingency of being able to actually “quarantine in place” at the house they wished to buy based on what they had seen online or via virtual tours.

Recently we have seen a strong pick up of activity on the island of Oahu for larger single-family residences offering larger interior and exterior living areas, flexible floor plans, two home offices, pool/spa, and home fitness areas. Total single-family homes sold 5,000,000 or in escrow since March 2020 on Oahu total 17. Luxury residential condominium sales have slowed with the exception of the residential condominium development of Park Lane which has monopolized the sales and escrows with five sales over  $5,850,000 since March.

The takeaways are diligence, positivity, and creativity. Thinking out of the box to promote my listings and the Islands. Due to our strategic geographic location with both the US and the Pan Pacific Basin we are a prime destination. With the major shift to work at home – Why not work at home in Hawaii with our climate, lifestyle, outdoor living and being the 50th state we are positioned well. We are also seeing people who target the islands as we basically are islands in the middle of sea without the ability to drive across a border or from state to state. This has become very important to some who feel it limits the spread of COVID, political/cultural unrest and recently the issues with the fires

What activities took place on Labor Day this year around Honolulu?

Not much the Island of Oahu has been in a new lockdown due to the rise of COVID which has now started to back off due to the earlier restrictions Hawaii hopes to open its borders in October.

An emblem of the "California Dream", Live Oaks Ranch is a place of new beginnings and opportunities. Engrained with a century of rich history, travel back to Old California—a time when life was simpler, possibilities were boundless, and privacy was a distinctive commodity. Situated on approx. 21.62 enchanting acres at the end of a road and down a winding driveway through oak-covered meadows w/ thriving avocado orchards. The main residence showcases dramatic ocean/mountain vistas w/ unrivaled coastal plain and white-water views; rarely found among estate properties. In addition to the main residence, there is a charming secondary res--part of which was the original 1800s ranch house--an additional accessory structure and a workshop. A water agreement with Montecito Water District is a substantial asset for future owners [buyer to investigate the water agreement].

East Coast charm is found in a quintessential Cape Cod among the trees in sought-after Manhattan Beach, California.

The Cape Cod-style in this Classic-Americana home is delightful; bright white siding and classic brick, trimmed in shutters and a commanding entrance via black painted front double-doors. Recently renovated, the sparklingly fresh abode is crisp and inviting with ample outdoor spaces.

Built on a corner lot in the highly desired tree section of Manhattan Beach, CA, the home is 3140 Sq Ft with four bedrooms and three baths. Hardwood floors run throughout the home with brilliant white molding, finely crafted millwork, and pale grey walls. Classic to the core.  

A nice traditional layout allows the rooms to blend seamlessly from one to another.  The large classic kitchen includes a Wolf Range, Sub Zero built-in refrigerator, Scottmans crushed ice machine and more. This room has been designed with an oversized island, Shaker-style cabinets, some with glass display windows, and a marble white tiled basketweave backsplash.  This space overlooks the open family room with a fireplace and french doors leading to the backyard on one side, and conveniently, the dining area to the other.

The large master suite has a generous-sized sleeping area, a tucked-away office and a classic seating area with a fireplace, much like a den or library.   Natural light flows freely in this space, and there is even a large private sun deck off this “suite retreat” that overlooks the backyard. Also included in the master suite is a nice sized walk-in closet and a master bath with a mix of marble and white tile, oversized spa tub, generous-sized shower and a make-up vanity.  A great place to escape.

The property includes a private backyard with a totally enclosed private yard and a patio with an outdoor living room that features a full extension retractable awning as well as a cooking center equipped with a built-in barbeque and burners.  

The laundry room is to be envied with its large capacity for storage, countertop space and not one but two washers and two dryers.   

Direct access to the large side-by-side 3-car garage makes it too easy for loading and unloading items for the home.  In addition, the tall ceilings allow for amazing storage in this generous-sized space.

Location IS everything and this home gets another “A” for checking this box.  Quiet street with little through traffic and near excellent schools (both the MBUSD Schools and the private American Martyrs School).  It is also a short walk to the Green Belt and walkable to downtown Manhattan Beach, Manhattan Village, and the beach.  

An opportunity to own a classic landmark home can only come available a few times in one's lifetime … don't let this one slip away!

The Avengers are everywhere these days. When they aren't fighting supervillains or attempting to prevent the destruction of the universe, where do the core members of the Avengers live? How do their cinematic superhero homes compare with the real-life residences of the actors who portray them? It's time to assemble the details.

Iron Man/Robert Downey Jr.

For luxury home design, it's hard to beat Iron Man's mansion. This real residence partially inspired Tony Stark's house in the movie. Located in La Jolla, California, the 11,000-square-foot, 4-bedroom, 6-bath architectural marvel doesn't come with any Iron Man suits–but it does have a private beach.

San Diego architect Wallace Cunningham was given an unlimited budget to design a home that enhanced the natural landscape of the Torrey Pines State Reserve and provided awe-inspiring views of the ocean waves below it.

Aspiring billionaire playboys can watch Iron Man's cinematic journey in the glass and concrete home theater after getting some exercise in one of the many infinity pools dropped like luxury puddles all over the property.

Photo by Brown Harris Stevens

Actor Robert Downey Jr's East Hamptons cottage seems modest by Tony Stark's standards, but it does have a real working windmill and several clever touches of whimsy that you'd expect from one of Hollywood's most versatile actors.

Captain America/Chris Evans

At the end of Captain America: Civil War, super soldier Steve Rogers walks away from his shield and "Captain America" identity.

Maybe Steve Rogers will be looking for a new home soon as well–since the Brooklyn Heights apartment he keeps was damaged in battle. Over the years, the cozy nook with the warm fireplace provided a welcome hideout for many Marvel characters.

Presented by Coca-Cola and Marvel Entertainment

The borough of Brooklyn showed its pride in being tied to the First Avenger, as Prospect Park recently unveiled a 13-foot tall bronze Captain America statue.

On the other coast, Chris Evans lives in Laurel Canyon in a recently renovated house he purchased for $3.5 million. When not on set, the Avengers actor refreshes in his steam shower and free-standing tub in a master bathroom made of limestone and Calcutta marble.

He can also practice his cooking skills in the gourmet chef's kitchen with Wolf range, marble countertops, and built-in Miele coffee maker.

If the Avengers cast wants to have a Beverly Hills dance party, Chris Evans' pool patio–wired for dynamic surround sound might be the best place to do it.

Thor/Chris Hemsworth

After the destruction of Asgard at the end of the movie Thor: Ragnarok, the god of thunder is what you might call "in the market" for a new universe.

Chris Hemsworth, on the other hand, enjoys a $7-million estate comprised of six separate buildings in New South Wales, Australia. The Down-Under retreat near Byron Bay resembles a Balinese resort and meanders down to a secluded beach.

photo by Domain

The palatial environment is impressive, but Chris has even bigger plans. The whole Hemsworth family is living in the surrounding buildings while the main house undergoes a massive $8-million renovation.

Hulk/Mark Ruffalo

The Hulk was comfortable soaking in a tub for two years in the Sakaar suite he was kept in as a champion Gladiator, but now that Bruce Banner is back to stay, he's going to need a safe house with a well-equipped lab. The Avenger with the infamous alter-ego has been homeless for much of the Marvel adventures. Hopefully, this scientist with seven Ph.D.'s will get some shelter from the storm soon.

Mark Ruffalo was feeling the opposite with too many homes. He sold his Brooklyn brownstone last year for $3.1 million to make his primary residence the 50-acre farmhouse he shares with his wife Sunrise Coigney in the foothills of the Catskills. The Sullivan County homestead, which runs along the Delaware River, is an attractive step back to a simpler time.

photo by Coke Wisdom O'Neal

With a vegetable garden, a carved wooden bear sculpture, large barn and an eco-friendly guest house, Mark Ruffalo enjoys the breathing space of his country escape–learning what wild mushrooms he can eat and which natural plants heal bug bites. He is raising his kids to appreciate nature and feel connected to the land.

Black Widow/Scarlet Johansson

Natasha Romanoff, the S.H.I.E.L.D agent, otherwise known as "Black Widow" graduated from a Russian spy to a core member of the Avengers team.

When she isn't hanging with her buddy Hawkeye or helping Iron Man or Bruce Banner to get their head in the game, Black Widow can probably be found at the Avengers Mansion in New York City.

The Henry Clay Frick House on 5th Avenue was the real-life inspiration for the fictional base. The house has been enlarged three times to include a grand entry hall, an enclosed garden court, an oval room, a music room, and gallery. The bedrooms are located on the second floor and accessed by a marble staircase with wrought iron balustrade.

Meanwhile, Scarlett Johansson keeps her base in L.A. In fact, the famous Hollywood sign can be seen from her balcony. The 3,500-square-foot, two-story home sits on nearly an acre behind a secluded gate and cul-de-sac.

Dark wood floors accentuate the predominantly white walls and glass doors. A bathroom skylight provides ample views of the green hills that frame the pool and eight-person spa area.

It seems Scarlett has found her oasis in the middle of Los Feliz' historically Hollywood enclave.

See all of these famous stars and more in action in Avengers: Infinity War, still playing in theaters worldwide.

With enough lush greenery to trick anyone into thinking it was a scene out of Wizard of Oz, this California oceanfront home seems more like the Wizard of Oz’s beach house. The westward-facing home is optimized for luxury and sunshine in all aspects, with rooms and design built to fit everything from elegant cocktail parties amongst friends to quiet rooms with a décor and design both modern and hygge inspired.

Coming in at just under $18 million from The Agency, this Laguna Beach home at 199 Emerald Bay is a jewel on the coastline, with 7,078 square feet fitting in five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a private spa, outdoor fire pit, two car garage, separate garage, and a master suite that covers nearly an entire floor of the home. Outside the residence, the home even features a private beach, six different tennis courts, a swimming pool, and activities for those of all ages. While the luxury and high end nature of the home may come with an 18-million dollar price tag, its also perfectly filled with activities to get one’s money’s worth.

It’s never been more enticing after a long week at the office to follow the Yellow Brick 405 all the way to Emerald Bay for a relaxing respite.

Now, there is a place made with kids in mind. If you have a family or looking to start one in the future, The Ritz-Carlton Residences has the answer to that. In 2019, their new development will be coming to Sunny Isles Beach, FL that is sure to be family-friendly.

The Kids Club will be tailored with children in mind and will have indoor and outdoor play facilities, a game room along with arts and crafts classes. There will also be physical activities, beach and pool care and meal plans. The program will ensure that children have many daily activities, especially ones that let them experience everything Sunny Isles Beach has to offer.

Fortune International Group and Château Group, who are joint developers of the 52-story development, have revealed new renderings of the Kids Club, which will be exclusive to residents. “Appreciating the needs of today’s luxury buyer, and understanding that parents want their children to feel as though they are an integral part of a community, we want to ensure that the day-to-day living experiences of our young families are maximized,” said Manuel Grosskopf, CEO of Château Group. “This project will be one of the few of its kind in South Florida that puts such an added emphasis on catering to those essentials.”.

The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Sunny Isles Beach features designs by Arquitectonica with interiors by Florentine architect Michele Bönan. Constructed with families in mind, spacious floor plans in the 212-unit building will have Atlantic Ocean, city and intracoastal waterway views.  Ceiling heights will be 10 feet in the homes and 13 feet in the penthouses, while oversized terraces with private pools will be offered in select residences. Italian-design kitchens will be filled with Caesarstone quartz countertops and Gaggenau appliances.

Built on the edge of Miami Beach and Surfside, Piano plans to create a design that blends the natural beauty of the beach with the greenery of the park wrapping around the building to create a panoramic view of nature. It is also the only Miami Beach building sitting atop the park and directly on the waterfront. RDAI will also be working on the interior design of the space, best known for their work with the Hermes brand.

In addition to a prize-winning team of architects and designers, the building is also tasking power-duo Isabel and Ruben Toledo with creating the illustrations and art campaigns for the building. The two will also be designing the uniforms for the building’s staff from butler and maids to the on-call botanist treating the buildings greenery. The duo together won the Cooper Hewitt National Design Award and one of Ms. Toledo’s biggest clients to wear one of her designs was former first lady Michelle Obama.
