Nick Rivera Caminero, more notably recognized as singer-songwriter and rapper Nicky Jam, is deemed as one of the pioneers of the reggaeton genre. He has collaborated with artists such as J Balvin and Daddy Yankee and in August, released his most recent album titled "Infinity." Earlier this year, the musician sold his Palm Island home for $3.1 million. Now, he is making news once again for another real estate deal.

Mere months after parting ways with Palm Island, Caminero has purchased a $6 million unit at One Thousand Museum. State records show the sale was executed through Green House Domestic Holdings Four LLC. Designed by the late Pritzker prize winning architect Zaha Hadid, the luxury condominium complex is reportedly the most photographed high rise in downtown Miami. In 2019, Caminero’s newfound unit was previously sold for $4.5 million. Other notable residents of the luxury tower include David and Victoria Beckham and hospitality entrepreneur David Grutman.

Located in downtown Miami, Caminero’s One Thousand Museum unit spans half the size of his floor at 4,600 square feet. The extravagant space features four bedrooms and five bathrooms. The interior highlights a minimalistic bathroom, Italian designed walk-in closets, and state of the art home automation and lighting designed by German light designer Uli Petzold, For a seamless indoor and outdoor flow, the space offers an oversized terrace overlooking the beautiful Biscayne Bay. Luxe amenities of One Thousand Museum include an aquatic center with indoor pool, sky lounge, private rooftop helipad, 24-hour security, and valet staff.

Tony Rodriguez-Tellaheche of Prestige Realty Group represented the buyer. Darin Feldman from Insignia International Properties represented the seller.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The post 57 Ocean Reports Over $90 Million Sold In 90 Days appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

Over the past three months, Nomada Residences reported record-breaking average occupancy rates of units at Quadro of over 80% for studios, 92% for 1-bedrooms, and 88% for 2-bedrooms, with average nightly rates between $180 and $300 per night. Reported revenues for these also surpassed more than two times the revenue over a long-term lease, which is usually 12 months or more.

“I truly see the potential for developments with flexible ownership like Quadro, especially now that we are seeing more and more people relocating to South Florida, mostly from the Northeast. Some don’t have a long-term plan in mind yet, and that’s when we come in with the ideal product for them,” said Raimundo Onetto, Alta Developers’ Principal & CEO.

According to the short-term rental manager, around the beginning of 2020 in March, the units at Quadro were fully booked until cancellations started coming in around Mid-March when COVID-19 hit South Florida. Later on, the City of Miami completely shut down hotel and short-term operations until the quarantine was lifted in June when short-term rentals started picking up again. Domestic snowbirds from the entire East Coast started heading to Miami to get out of the cold weather and even stay for a few months. Even though rentals started to pick up, there was a curfew in effect up until December, which kept occupancy rates lower than during normal times at around 50% average for studios, 1-bedroom, and 2-bedrooms at Quadro Miami Design District.

“Quadro has become a preferred destination for all sorts of guests, both short-term and for an extended period, including young professionals that want a change of scenery and a nice place to work out of, group of friends, and a few families here and there, all the way from South America to West and East U.S., “ the Manager said.

Quadro Miami Design District buyers can purchase a condo and hire Nomada Residences for unit management, which includes short-term, seasonal, and long-term rentals. Buyers can live in the unit for a few months, and rent out the rest, boasting flexibility and performance. They also have the option to buy a unit with a long-term tenant already in place and let Nomada Residences handle the rental. Additionally, and exclusively at Quadro, buyers can choose one of the turnkey interior design packages available for purchase from Sette Interior Design.

Ready for immediate purchase or move-in, the residences feature a wide selection of amenities including stainless steel appliances, and washer and dryer, a private balcony with stunning city and bay views, high-ceilings ranging from 9 feet to 13 feet, floor-to-ceiling windows in select units, sleek compact quartz countertops in kitchen and bathrooms, European self-closing cabinetry, custom designer lighting packages, Bluetooth keyless entry, NEST thermostats, Italian porcelain tile throughout, modern-white roller shades, as well as open concept kitchen and living room. Quadro also offers electric car charging stations and a state-of-the-art pet washing facility.

The residences are ready for move-in and come with an optional furniture package by Sette Interior Design, inclusive of all furniture and accessories that make the unit turnkey. As the first boutique condominium in the Miami Design District, Quadro places owners and residents at the nexus of art, design, and culture, surrounded by prestigious art galleries and private collections, 75 lavishly appointed boutiques, 24 of the city’s best restaurants, and finest day schools.

Residences are exclusively marketed and sold by Fortune Development Sales and start in the $400,000’s. Nestled within the heart of the city’s trendsetting creative hub, Quadro offers its residents and guests more than 500 custom art pieces and installations of contemporary art created by ART with DNA under the direction of artist, Francisco Del Rio.

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.

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.”

Photo Credit: DBOX

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. 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.

Art and real estate has become one of the world’s most prominent partnerships and Miami is home to some of the greatest collaborations yet. This year, Quadro Miami Design District collaborated with Design Miami offering their exhibitors and VIPs special accommodations within their distinct designer-themed residences that come replete with curated furniture packages and amenities exclusively for short-term, seasonal, or long-term use.

The residences at Quadro are nestled in the heart of this city’s trendsetting creative hub and offers its residents and guests more than 500 custom art pieces and installations of contemporary art created by Art with DNA under the direction of artist, Francisco Del Rio. Each floor, across the 2 sleek, 12-story towers, has its own artistic theme and color to create exclusivity.

“When we started discussing art for the project, I decided to hand the entire project to Francisco, allowing him to openly create landmark pieces that would make Quadro the true connection between the Bay and the Miami Design District it is today” – said Raimundo Onetto, Principal & CEO of Alta Developers.

His installations are an ode to South Florida's seashore, taking inspiration from the cascading waves, vivid marine life and coastal flora within reach. The main entry point makes a breathtaking first impression, welcoming residents and guests into the valet area landscaped with a lush living wall and canopy of gold-toned sculptures suspended from the porte cochère – hundreds of steel mobiles that spin as wind wafts through the breezeway, evoking the luminous movements in a school of fish. The lobby's dramatic blue columns lead to more layers of art, each floor marked with a three-dimensional composition Del Rio painted to play up distinct color schemes representing levels of the ocean and the myriad vibrant organisms inhabiting deep waters pierced by sunrays or shaded by moonlight.

Headquartered in Chile, Art with DNA specializes in creating installations that reflect the identity of a property and its neighboring environment. Over more than a decade, Del Rio has become well known for working with a wide range of architects, interior designers and real estate developers to infuse artwork into the fabric of award-winning office spaces and residential projects across the globe.

Del Rio worked closely with Principal & CEO of Alta Developers, South Florida’s innovative real estate development firm, Raimundo Onetto to ensure the property’s artistic vision came to life.

“The greatest challenge was to develop the building’s identity, making it different, unique and letting it stand out from every other building development in the area,” said Del Rio. “Also, we wanted to create a continuous art experience for residents and visitors, giving unity to the whole building, conversing vis-a-vis with the architecture of every corner.”

“Being located in the Miami Design District we knew that art was going to play a significant role in the development process,” said Onetto.

The Design District is home to numerous galleries, prestigious private collections, and large-scale works by world-renowned contemporary artists nestled amid the lavishly appointed boutiques of the top international fashion houses and jewelers, including Fendi, BVLGARI, Balenciaga, Cartier, Hermès, Van Cleef & Arpels, Prada and Gucci. A mutual focus on original expression, bold lines and fine details guided Alta Developers as it set out to make a substantial contribution that enhances the location’s signature features.

Highlight quotes from the webinar:

Paulie Hankin: " Miami has become a 12-month city... Our location at 300 Biscayne Boulevard Way is the last parcel of water-side land in Miami in the downtown Brickell corridor, so, it sets us apart. We have almost 500 linear feet of Marina built into the programming of the building. There is direct access to the ocean with no bridges, and we have an amazing butler service that will provide exclusive private yacht services that will take you directly to enjoy our Beach Club and other amenities throughout the city... We are over 60% sold, which is an amazing feat to accomplish. As ownership would say, we are not building with the brand, but rather a brand that is building a skyrise in Miami... During the pandemic, everyone has been looking for outdoor activities, and we are extremely well-positioned with our amenities, indoor and outdoor pools, beach access, and our magnificent marina. Our residents can arrive in style by land or sea... We are on the 30th floor of construction. We will deliver the building at the end of 2022, with finished and move-in ready residences. The pace of construction has continued through the pandemic on schedule."

Ralph Navarro: "Honoring the first responders was a very humbling experience. How they took on the seriousness of risking their lives, it was great to hear their commitment to being involved and not be afraid. It was a great experience for us to welcome them and give them a day on the water. It was very special for us… Like most businesses in Miami, we got a little nervous when the pandemic started. We still have a lot of work to do. This week we are celebrating the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. A lot of clients are coming to town, and we have been showing boats all day at FLIBS. We are excited about everything that is going on and that people are coming back to the water realizing that it’s a safe environment. Our issue now is a lack of inventory. When something becomes available, it flies... Aston Martin Residences is doing an amazing job. I can't wait for the building to be finished. I saw the finishes in the showroom and I can tell you this building is special. It will make the Miami skyline the most beautiful one ever... Miami is the number one yachting city in the world.”

The Yacht Guy: "I'm always down in Florida two or three times a year, and I'm always on a boat. There are not too many cities in the world where you can take the boat and move it around and end up in different locations. Great places like Monaco, you dock and then walk. But with Miami, there are so many places on the coast, Miami Beach. If you're going to live the yacht life, Miami is the place to do it… I'm working on purchasing a yacht. I have one in mind that I'm talking to a few friends. It's a big project going on, so we will be doing "The Yacht Guy Live" from my own yacht. To be able to show people the dream come to fruition is the next step for me... Being on the water for me, there is nothing like it. Tranquility at its best... I look forward to doing this in person next year [at Aston Martin Residences]."

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.

In addition to 20 flow-through Sky Residences, starting at $6.95 million, 57 Ocean has one remaining penthouse, priced at $35 million.

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.”

In addition to 20 flow-through Sky Residences, starting at $6.95 million, 57 Ocean has one remaining penthouse, priced at $35 million.  Additional amenities 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.  For additional information about 57 Ocean, call 305.800.5775 or visit www.57ocean.com.

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.

“In October 2016 we announced the partnership with Aston Martin and our plan to break ground in October 2017,” said German Coto, CEO of G&G Business Development, during the groundbreaking ceremony. “Exactly one year later we are here to celebrate the start of construction, which is confirmation of our commitment to follow our own strict timeline.”

Designed by Revuelta Architecture and Bodas Miani Anger, the 391-condominium building is to soar in curvilinear glass and steel in the shape of a giant sail. It will boast seven penthouses and a single duplex penthouse, which will come with private pools and expansive balconies, as well as a gamut of one and four-bedroom apartments. Situated on one of the few remaining developable parcels in downtown Miami, all units are to flaunt striking vistas of Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic Ocean as well as splendid living spaces.

The interior and the amenity spaces throughout Aston Martin Residences are to come out of the car manufacturer’s design team, under the leadership of EVP and Chief Creative Officer, Marek Reichman. Evoking the high-end aesthetics of Aston Martin super vehicles, highlights will include kestrel tan leather door tabs, bespoke Aston Martin door handles and number plinths.

Aside from the opulence of their own homes, residents will also enjoy a four-story, 42,000 sq. ft. Sky Amenities center, sprawling between the 52^nd and the 55^th floors and comprising a spinning studio, boxing gym, virtual golf room, two cinemas, art galleries, full-service spa and a beauty salon.

Represented by Cervera Real Estate, Aston Martin Residences will range from 700 to 19,000sq. ft. and  from $600,000 to upwards of $50 million.

Studio Gang's 14-story residential tower in Miami’s Design District will boast 76 residences with panoramic views of Biscayne Bay.

Gang and her firm Studio Gang Architects, famous for designing Chicago skyscraper-optical illusion Aqua Tower (the nation’s tallest structure designed by a woman) is equally ambitious with this 160,000-square-foot tower in Miami’s Buena Vista neighborhood—slated for completion in 2016.

Recently released renderings show Sweetbird South as a residential building anchored by two stories of ground floor retail space, a resident lounge and a rooftop swimming pool. The tower is obvious on form and subtle on function. Like Aqua Tower, the building appears to be rippling or trembling but definitely not falling (we think). Each residence features floor-to-ceiling windows and oblique-angled terraces that form seemingly implausible quadrilateral shapes--trapezoids, parallelograms and rhombuses. Jeanne Gang must have aced geometry as a student.

The Miami tower features ground floor retail space, a resident lounge, a rooftop swimming pool, floor-to-ceiling windows and shaped terraces.

While most people can't discern between a trapezoid and a rhombus, Studio Gang transforms buildings into intriguing geometrical experiments—as if the firm is attempting to solve complex mathematical theorems on the façade of skyscrapers. The Sweetbird South building is begging to be deciphered but perhaps only Euclid or our college math professor could break its code.

The tower’s interior extends outside to the façade, producing a dynamic spatial (or exo-spatial) arrangement of habitable spaces that function as a contemporary "Florida room." According to the firm, “these shaded, open-air rooms provide both a thermal buffer for the interior and an outdoor space for relaxing and entertaining.” See, we told you—subtle on function (and there are even plans to integrate solar shade and rainwater collection into the design). What better location to bring indoors outside than in Miami overlooking Biscayne Bay?

Studio Gang experiments with skyscraper façades, transforming them into intriguing exo-spatial experiments--exemplified by the Miami tower's geometric terraces which extend the indoors to outdoor entertainment spaces.

The Sweetbird South tower feels like the southeast companion to Studio Gang's 15-story design called City Hyde Park in Chicago. There’s something distinctly Flat Iron about this Miami building (the way it dominates its short block in seemingly triangular fashion), except it’s bright white, modern and offers better views. Is it like an Antoni Gaudí structure in Barcelona? Not quite, but it’s absolutely a head scratcher and eyeball burner—in a good way. Studio Gang’s Miami tower is a residential building disguised as an optical illusion—or is that vice versa? Perhaps we can describe it better this way—it’s a rhetorical question mark that doesn't need to answer to anyone. It is what it is.

Studio Gang's trendy 160,000-square-foot Miami tower is slated to open in 2016.

Located directly across from Biscayne Bay, the development—which will house 298 units within three residential towers—will stand at a site that has long been that of Coconut Grove Bank's headquarters, a 5.2 acre property purchased by the duo for $55 million. The project will unfold in three phases, with the current Coconut Grove Bank remaining open during the first phase of construction.

“Always a haven for artists, writers and other creative souls, the Grove retains a character found nowhere else. More relaxed than Brickell, more family-oriented than Miami Beach, the charms of this dynamic community are undergoing a renaissance,” said Jorge Pérez, founder of The Related Group. "[Park Grove] will offer a lifestyle that’s perfect for people who appreciate the tropical urban setting."

“Miami continues to blossom into one of the greatest global cities of our time,” said David Martin, president and co-founder of Terra Group. “Our vision for Coconut Grove is to preserve its history and natural landscapes while introducing the caliber of design talent the rest of Miami has been experiencing for years.”

In order to ensure that the masterpiece's overall concept reflects the neighborhood's organic beauty and relaxed sophistication, the partners charged four distinguished architects to partake in a riveting contest. Ultimately, Rem Koolhaas took home the gold, beating out competitors Jean Nouvel, Christian de Portzamparc, and Diller Scofidio & Renfro. The project will showcase 2,500- to 3,500-square-foot residences, whose will be styled by interior designer William Sofield.

The plans also showcase a two-acre sculpture park designed by Enea Landscape Architecture, a three-story bank and fitness center, four two-story smaller structures meant to house a plethora of recreational amenities, and a two-story office building. 730 parking spaces will also be made available.

The grand development is expected to fully take shape by the end of 2016.
