In 2018, Wozniacki and Lee purchased a condo at the lavish Palazzo Del Sol complex for $13.5 million. However, the couple have recently placed their former residence on the market in January at a price of $17.5 million. The 8,430 square foot space was offered fully furnished with five bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms. Designed by Artefacto, the floor-to-ceiling glass offers picturesque views of Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. The property sold about a month after its initial listing at a reduced price of $16.25 million. Jill Hertzberg with Coldwell Banker Realty Miami Beach Lincoln Building represented the sellers while Jill Eber of the same firm represented the buyer.

Since then, the Wozniacki and Lee have purchased the last unit in that same sophisticated building: the Palazzo Del Sol penthouse at a price of $18.7 million. The newly purchased property spans 6,644 square feet with four bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. Located on the 10th floor, the ornate interior includes a formal living area, dining room, spacious kitchen, family room, home theater, and office. The expansive master suite features dual walk-in closets and ensuite bathroom. Stepping outside, the space highlights a dining terrace that can be accessed from the living area with stairs leading to the rooftop terrace, lap pool, and outdoor kitchen.

The Palazzo Del Sol luxury condominium complex features a multitude of in-building amenities including a fitness center, infinity pools, cabanas, private massage rooms, hair and makeup salon, ultramodern movie theater, meeting room, resident only restaurant, and underground parking space. The Mediterranean-style building was designed by Kobi Karp with outdoor spaces by Enzo Enea. Located on Fisher Island, this extravagant building offers an unparalleled living experience of privacy and exclusivity.

In an illustrious career that continues to this day, the Haute Agent has sold over $350 million in real estate, including $30 million just in 2020. The Miami real estate boom that began before the pandemic hit has seen the top movers of the industry like Fiorenza excel at marketing and achieving the promotion and sale of everything from mansions to single-family homes and luxury condos at a rate rarely or never seen before.

So how did all this start? "After asking myself why I would want to go into real estate, I said 'Why not?' and it ended up being a blessing," says Fiorenza. "I got my license in a week. Because I spoke several languages, I got my first assignment at The Yacht Club at Portofino in Miami Beach, where I sold 40 apartments in the first three months. After working on several developments in the South of Fifth neighborhood in development sales, I started doing sales on Fisher Island because I was already living there and sales happened organically there. Then I met my husband and decided not to do development sales anymore. I got married and had three kids and was very much involved in the Fisher Island community. I know how crucial community-building is to living a happy, fulfilled life. I love sharing that knowledge with my clients so they can thrive the way my family and I have in Miami.”

Organically servicing the Europeans as well as many Latin Americans who would look and buy from her on Fisher Island, Fiorenza became a force on the exclusive island just off Miami Beach. In 2009, she and her husband decided to build their own house on a waterfront lot in Gables Estates. They moved into their "dream home," a two-story neo-classical Italian-style villa, at the end of 2012.

Sandra Fiorenza's family estate in Gables Estates

During the building process of the home, Mayi de la Vega recruited her to join ONE Sotheby's International Realty, where she focused on the Coral Gables and Gables Estates, Cocoplum and Pinecrest areas, while branching out in other industries like yoga and cosmetics. "I was always very experimental and doing different things, but real estate is my passion," she says.

On the growth of the local real estate industry, she says, "Miami Beach was so different in 1998. It was an idyllic, vacation place, and now we have a cosmopolitan city. I said to myself back then, 'I don't understand why everybody does not want to live in Miami, it has everything in culture, weather, no pollution, and a great place to work.' I always make a point that I did not immigrate to the United States. I immigrated to Miami."

Fiorenza used the tools available to market her listings and grow her network at a time when there was no social media or email marketing. She advertised in newspapers, journals, and sent postcards and constantly networked, setting herself on a path that has not let up in achieving sales that placed her at the top echelon of the industry.

In a saturated business that has seen many people join the industry and getting their own licenses, she keeps expanding her services. "I think when you are ambitious and work hard, you can make it in real estate, but it also comes down to where you want to be and what kinds of connections you have,” she says. “At this point in my life, I am more into investing in real estate and giving investment advice; looking at broader lifestyle service offerings."

Her status among the world's elite professionals has afforded her clients ample access to luxury experiences in Miami style, whether in real estate or otherwise.

Accurately pointing out that there are more agents than homes for sale in Miami, Fiorenza explains the current challenge for every broker and agent. "You have to really get in there, work 12 hours per day and think, dream, and tap into all aspects of real estate. If you don't do it full-time, you will eventually give up because you have to put in a lot of energy."

There’s no denying that city life is incredible. But with so much going on, it’s essential to take a step back now and then and give those tired batteries a bit of a recharge. Sometimes you just want to get away from it all: not in a camping, backwoods sort of way, but in a more cocktail-sipping, sun-seeking kind of fashion. It was precisely this type of escape a Brazilian family sought when they purchased a vacation retreat on Fisher Island as a respite from their hectic city life in São Paulo. Home to free-roaming peacocks, it captures the allure of a secluded island, but it also has all the luxury amenities of an exclusive resort. “It never feels crowded, and people really appreciate the privacy and security,” the wife says. Set on the farthest point of the island, their condominium overlooks miles and miles of ocean. “It’s our happy place,” the wife says. “It’s where we go to decompress.”

Originally weighed down by heavy traditional details—dated wallpaper, mirrored walls, and a cumbersome enclosed kitchen that interrupted the great room—the condo underwent a lofty transformation from dated Mediterranean to beachy chic thanks to Miami-based designer Luciana Fragali, who has designed multiple Fisher Island homes for her clients. “Luciana is so flexible and willing to listen to our ideas,” the wife says. “She created family-friendly rooms, so we never have to worry about sand from the beach.”

Although working on an island would seem like a dream, in this case, it posed some unique challenges. On Fisher Island, you can build only six months out of the year and subcontractors must arrive via barge, making preparation and timing paramount. Luckily, Fragali was able to work around these obstacles and transform the space entirely to feature new floors, walls, plumbing and electrical, appliances, materials, and finishes – this was a gut remodel of the entire apartment that took a great deal of effort and teamwork.

From the beginning, Fragali had one goal in mind: to open up the views. The owners asked for an expansive entertainment area, as well as comfortable guest rooms that offered privacy, making the vacation retreat as inviting as possible for their family and friends. To accomplish this, Fragali began by demolishing the enclosed kitchen wall to open up the space and transform the room into a spacious open concept living room and dining room featuring an exceptional dropped wood ceiling design.

“We opened the kitchen up to integrate the living room and to make it one large space,” explains Fragali, who removed a dividing wall to make that happen. The resulting open area is more spacious and takes advantage of the beautiful sunset views. Next, she replaced the mirrored covered walls with custom built-in shelves that become one with the living area. Using this accent wall, she placed unique accessories that reflect the natural light and turquoise waters below. “As soon as you open the door, you feel like you are literally on the ocean,” the wife says.

Keeping the emphasis on the panorama, expansive sliding doors open completely onto a balcony, essentially disappearing and expanding the living area into an enormous entertaining venue. “This indoor-outdoor effect alludes to the home’s refined yet casual vibe,” Fragali says. For the furnishings, she selected low-profile pieces that speak to the owners’ low-key personalities. “The wife likes clean lines and is very pared-down,” she says. “So I wanted a warm, sophisticated apartment with pops of color.” The designer captured this casual elegance through a careful juxtaposition of pieces that blur the line between modern and earthy, such as the pairing of custom-made floating console matching the natural birch dining room pendants and textured wallpapered wall niches with LED strip for radiance accented with black and white art frames.

While the water views clearly inspired Fragali’s approach, they also influenced the palette, with touches of warm creams, natural wood tones, upholstery, artwork, and accessories throughout. Even the master bedroom is awash in the soothing, ethereal hue. The master bathroom was another obstacle of its own – it had to be completely gutted down to the studs. Only then could Fragali begin to design a new luxurious master bath unlike any other featuring a large shower and a curved freestanding bathtub backed by wood mosaic wall panels.

But nowhere does the color scheme come more to life than on the balcony, where shades of sea and sky continue as far as the eye can see. From here, the family waves to cruise ships passing by. With umbrella-accented drinks in hand, they kick back and relax just the way they imagined, in true vacation style.

Haute Residence: How has the luxury real estate market in Fisher Island been performing over the last year?

Sandra Fiorenza: A total of 65 condos closed on Fisher Island in the last 360 days and currently, there are 20 pending sales. The highest sales was a 10,120 square feet PH apartment in Palazzo Del Sol that sold for $20,000,000 as well as the 6,200 square feet PH in Villa Del Mare for $20,000,000 respectively. I brought a buyer for a 7000 square foot apartment in Palazzo de la Luna on the 9th floor that closed for $16,000,000.

At the beginning of the pandemic, sales slowed because Fisher Island didn’t allow any visitors or brokers to come to the Island. But once those restrictions were slightly lifted, interest and sales in Fisher Island picked up, and currently, Fisher Island has the lowest inventory ever.

What social spots are available on the island so residents don't need to go to the mainland?

Buyers like low-density apartment living with an amazing lifestyle. Fisher Island has five restaurants, a fabulous spa, a state-of-the-art fitness facility with a large variety of classes, a beauty salon. 18 tennis courts, a nine-hole golf course, a delicatessen supermarket, two marinas, and a small medical facility. Residents basically do not need to leave the Island. There are so many possibilities to mingle with friends and fellow residents in all outlets of the Island. Also, the Island has its own post office and fire department.

"The Brickell market has been transforming itself from an investor's heaven to an actual metropolis with end-users. It has become a vibrant community full of young families and millennials.  We are experiencing a huge surge in demand, especially from New York and California buyers. Condo sales have increased YTD 25% compared to the overall volume in the same time period for 2019. We have also seen bidding wars in many recently listed single-family homes." - Sebastian Acosta, Brickell Key, FL.

"For 2021, Fisher Island is going to take a very dynamic upturn in sales and prices. The reason for that is because we've had a huge influx of northeasterners that have descended here, wanting to get out of the cities because of Covid and the winter months. We are seeing much more activity of new renters and new buyers. The excitement lies in these renters that have come to rent here for the high season to experience everything that Fisher Island has to offer, which is an incredible lifestyle, sea breeze, and exclusivity. Those renters are commenting that they will be looking to buy starting in 2021. It's a small enclave that people from all over the world converge in and make friends." - Elena Bluntzer, Fisher Island, FL.

"I expect the demand in the area to continue to be strong in 2021. People will continue to move to this area because it is within walking distance to the beach, Bal Harbour Shops, and a multitude of other shopping and dining options. It is known for the great public schools and quiet, peaceful neighborhoods. There are also plenty of waterfront properties for boaters. This beautiful area offers all of this while still being close to main highways and airports." - Jennifer Brilliant, Bal Harbour/Bay Harbor Islands/Surfside, FL.

"The luxury market in Aventura will continue an upward swing for 2021. The current high influx, of buyers from all over the country that are relocating to South Florida, is driving prices higher as a result and the inventory of available properties decreasing. This is true not just in Aventura but all over the South Florida market." - Sylvia Fragos, Aventura, FL.

"Delray's housing market is expected to flourish and be on the move in 2021. It is predetermined by five key housing indicators: mortgage rates, the existing home median sales price appreciation, existing home sales, single-family home housing, and the homeownership rate." - Connie Huergo, Delray Beach, FL.

"I believe the high-demand for single-family homes is going to continue in 2021. I think that people who are renting homes will turn into home buyers, and new/remodeled homes will be more attractive to buyers and sell faster than homes that need upgrades." - Roberta Ingletto, Pinecrest/South Miami, FL.

"2021 will be an extraordinary opportunity to create what I define as a legacy purchase, a home not only for the immediate needs of your family but also for future generations. Ocean Reef, USA’s #2 Private Club, is the ultimate multi-generational community with unparalleled amenities, plus safety and security.” - Mary Lee, Ocean Reef, FL.

“Everyone calls Edgewater the new Miami and I couldn’t agree more with such a statement. Luxury condos such as Elysee and Missoni Baia will have a tremendous positive impact on the real estate landscape of the area. It’s already got a unique urban vibe. I can’t wait to see its full transformation in the near future.” - Claudia Llanes, Edgewater, FL.

"Demand for single-family homes continues to peak each month as high-tax state residents who have been preparing since 2018 are ready as ever for their dream life in Miami Beach. Now seeking pandemic shelter as well, working from home, managing your business, or enjoying your retirement has no boundaries and there’s not a more desired zip code than 33139 or 33140." - Paola Marulanda, Miami Beach Islands, FL.

"Venetian Islands is without doubt one of the most attractive neighborhoods in Miami due to the quality single-family homes and lifestyle it offers. As of today, and despite the year we have been facing, the sales volume for single-family homes in Venetian Islands is surpassing the amount we have seen in previous years mainly due to the large migration of population from the north of the country. This trend is expected to continue in the upcoming year along with new international buyers approaching as borders start opening. The majority of property owners looking to downsize and sell their property at a premium price will continue listing their homes, keeping the market hot while many new buyers build new properties, making out of Venetian Islands a more renovating and premium neighborhood." - Alvaro Nuñez Alfaro, Venetian Islands, FL.

"After an unexpected 2020 that truly transformed the demand dynamics for luxury Real Estate in Southwest Ranches, we could not be more excited for a stellar 2021, as we continue to see an exponential interest for space, privacy and luxurious amenities in the private residential properties. Southwest Ranches and AKAI Estates offer all of that and much more!" - Bento Queiroz, Southwest Ranches, FL.

Highlight quotes from today's webinar:

Elena Bluntzer: "There are more opportunities now than before the pandemic. We are seeing an interest in single-family homes. We are seeing more and faster activity, almost to a bidding war. This will drive their values higher than what was previously expected. With condos, prices have not dropped as much as buyers expected... This year, we are already experiencing a lot of northeasterners coming down here... Sellers are much more interested in cash buyers now... I believe staying informed and ahead of the game is going to give us the advantage to help our buyers and sellers... We have to be aware to recalibrate more often than we are used to; there's no way to say there's a new normal. We are shifting every day, every week... It (recent time) has been a lot of self-reflection, organizing, and tweaking. All of that has come into play. I have taken advantage of that as best possible and I know my colleagues have as well."

Carolann Clynes: "It (the pandemic) has given us all a chance to reflect and think about going forward... A lot of buyers and sellers are happy doing things virtually... The typical buyers coming out of the cities want fresh air, more space inside and outside. For a long time in the Summit area, pools have not been popular. We now find that we have more buyers asking for pools... Interest rates are very low, maybe as low as they have ever been, particularly for adjustable-rate mortgages... Even through pandemics and recessions, our values hold quite well. Taxes are stable... We have most of our buyers anxious to buy and moving quickly. We are going from a buyer's market to a seller's market in the high-end, which we haven't seen in quite a while... If all goes well and the pandemic hopefully slows down, the summer will be very busy into September and October... The real estate market is not for the faint of heart. It's a wonderful profession."

How has the luxury real estate market in Fisher Island been performing so far in 2020?

It has been performing very well. Luxury real estate has been better than expected, considering how much high-end product there is available. What is selling are units that are well-priced that have either been totally or mostly renovated. Because it’s still a buyers’ market, buyers have been going into contracts and closing quickly on the best opportunities.

What are buyers looking for in their homes on Fisher Island in 2020? 

Renovated units that have contemporary décor. That means the best high-end finishes, such as Italian kitchens, porcelain or wood floors; smart units; the best views. As far as size, buyers are purchasing units that have a minimum of three bedrooms.

Which has been a highlight sale for you so far in 2020?

I just closed on Unit 5012 Fisher Island Drive. It sold for $6,795,000, a 6,500 square feet ($1,045 per sq ft) condo. 

Are there any new restaurants or other spots on Fisher Island you’ve been loving lately? 

We did a beautiful renovation of two of the social areas of the Vanderbilt Mansion. The Snooker Club, which is the after-hours bar/lounge exclusive to equity members, just got a full renovation. The Drawing Room in the Mansion was also renovated and is where members can enjoy afternoon tea and champagne.

The post Spacious Fisher Island Residence appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

The billionaire chose to purchase a home in Fisher Island after visiting last year and being attracted to Fisher Island’s exclusive private club community that has 18 tennis courts, seven restaurants and a nine-hole golf course. Hassenfeld and his wife chose to make Palazzo Del Sol their residence by purchasing a three-bedroom, three-and-a-half bathroom home for $8.2 million.

Palazzo Del Sol is the latest property in the community and is the first to offer rooftop spaces, negative-edge pools and six-star services and amenities. Residents have access to a private movie theater, hair and makeup salon, a state-of-the-art fitness center by The Wright Fit, a children’s playroom designed by Kidville and a butler-staffed aperitivo bar. Residents of the property also receive a custom-designed Garia golf car upon closing.

Palazzo Del Sol was designed by Miami-based firm, Antrobus + Ramirez, who envisioned the property’s common spaces and amenity levels. The home contains high-end elements including book-matched marble, specialty wallpaper and teak cladding and semi-precious materials like vanilla onyx, framing the kitchen and a bookcase in the living room.

The post Former Hasbro CEO Alan Hassenfeld Purchases At Palazzo Del Sol Fisher Island For $8.2M appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

Not a hurricane storm surge, but rather a new generation of sun dwellers who will crash the shores of this private island paradise off Miami Beach when Palazzo del Sol—a lavish, new 10-story condominium—is completed in 2016.

Palazzo del Sol is scheduled for completion in the spring of 2016.

The condominium has unobstructed views of the Atlantic Ocean, Biscayne Bay, South Beach and downtown Miami.

After a seven-year construction hiatus (aside from renovation permits), Fisher Island is again open for business and its final land parcels are ready to beautify. Palazzo del Sol will showcase 47 contemporary luxury condos (ranging from 3,700- to 9,700-square feet) on 4.5 acres of prime land, with unobstructed views of the Atlantic Ocean, South Beach, Biscayne Bay, and downtown Miami. The condominium is perfectly situated on Government Cut, the channel entrance to Miami's harbor, where the bay meets the ocean—and where rudders hit the deep water.

Palazzo del Sol will likely be 10 stories (13 if you count rooftop pool, lobby and parking garage) with 47 luxurious residences.

Palazzo del Sol will feature five-star, white-glove amenities—a first for Fisher Island.

The project developer is former Fisher Island resident Heinrich von Hanau, chief executive officer of Fisher Island Holdings, who tasked Miami-based architect Kobi Karp and Swiss landscape designer Enzo Enea to design Palazzo del Sol as a "velvet rope reserve for the next wave of Fisher Island owners which will include private lush grounds and outdoor living spaces and exclusive five-star, white-glove services (private lobby, doormen, salon, massage, dedicated concierges, fur storage, nanny and medical services, customized golf carts, and indoor/outdoor aperitivo bar).” Other Palazzo del Sol designers are Augusto Busnelli, Alison Antrobus and Ruby Ramirez, and Pepe Calderin.

The development was primarily designed by Miami-based architect Kobi Karp and Swiss landscape designer Enzo Enea.

A rendering of one of the condo's pools.

Palazzo del Sol construction began last spring with pre-sales offered to existing Fisher Island residents who are seeking larger living spaces or newer units with modern top-of-the-line European finishes. The condominium will showcase the largest floor plans on Fisher Island to date, particularly outdoor space where many units will average from 1,700- to 12,800-square feet. Building residents will also enjoy a rooftop pool, poolside cabanas, a negative edge heated pool and an Enea-designed outdoor relaxation area already nicknamed "Central Park."

Fisher Island's Palazzo del Sol will sit at the channel entrance to Miami harbor, where the bay meets the ocean.

A rendering of a specially-designed relaxation area tentatively called "Central Park."

All residences will be elegant, featuring massive outdoor terraces, private elevators, 10-foot interior ceilings (penthouses will offer 15-foot ceilings), Boffi kitchens and baths, Gaggenau appliances, Dornbracht faucets, Duravit plumbing fixtures, and Lualdi doors. The property will also offer amenities such as a private movie theater, a state-of-the-art fitness center designed by the Wright Fit, a Kidville-designed playroom and even charging stations for electric cars (do limo drivers drive electric cars?).

Current Fisher Island residents get first dibs at condos in Palazzo del Sol. It will be the newest and luxurious residential development on the island.

“Our vision for the final development on Fisher Island harmonizes with the community’s existing Mediterranean-inspired style, while taking into consideration the sensibilities and needs of the new era of buyers coming from the United States, Europe, Latin America, Russia, Asia and the Middle East,” said von Hanau, who, according to the official fact sheet, secured power broker Dora Puig to head sales along with an elite team of brokers internationally renowned for selling Miami's highest-priced trophy penthouses with private rooftops and single-family estates.

Condos range from $5 million for three-bedroom residences to a $32 million penthouse, according to Curbed. Current plans call for no more than six units per floor, but von Hanau said in a press release that some early buyers purchased multiple units with the intent to combine them into larger residences. According to The Real Deal, $45 million in financing has been secured for Palazzo del Sol, which is reportedly the first of two planned 10-story buildings (13 floors counting the lobby, underground parking and rooftop pool).

Fisher Island offers lush landscaping, including a championship golf course.

Fisher Island Club's nine-hole, par 35 golf course.

Fisher Island is a 216-acre island community that likely offers the most exclusive amenities in southeastern United States—including Fisher Island Club, its recently $66-million renovated five-star resort; acclaimed Spa Internazionale; a P.B. Dye-designed nine-hole oceanside golf course; a world-class tennis center with 18 courts (two grass, two hard court and 14 clay); two deep-water, surge-proof marinas that accommodate vessels up to 250 feet; the restored Vanderbilt Mansion; a private beach club (coincidentally called The Beach Club); and over a mile of pristine white sand beaches. The island enclave is accessible to Miami Beach via yacht or auto ferry in merely seven minutes.

Aerial view of Fisher Island, the exclusive and most private of paradises.

Fisher Island has a deep water marina for yachts, where slips are said to cost at least $1 million.

Approximately 675 families live on Fisher Island with 50% representing the United States and the 50% representing over 45 other countries. Less than 30% of residents live on Fisher Island year-round as peak season is typically November 15 through April 15th. On Fisher Island, exclusivity and privacy are as critical as running water, swimming pools, and sunblock. Among those calling Fisher Island home are billionaires, chief executives, philanthropists, entrepreneurs, international dignitaries, celebrities, athletes, entertainers, musicians, models, etc.

While Fisher Island doesn't reveal information about its residents, media reports have revealed some prominent current or former residents—including media magnate Oprah Winfrey, actress Julia Roberts, former tennis players Andre Agassi and Boris Becker, and erstwhile hockey star Pavel Buré.

Fisher Island out was created out of sand and mangroves when a channel was cut through the bay, as ordered by Congress.

Miami Beach developer Carl Fisher, for whom Fisher Island is named, bought the island in 1919.

Fisher Island was created in 1906 when the U.S. Congress ordered construction of Government Cut, which opened a more accessible shipping lane for commerce between the Atlantic Ocean and Biscayne Bay. This channel across the bay developed the island out of sand, coconut palms and mangroves. Fisher Island is named for Miami Beach developer Carl Fisher, who purchased the land in 1919 and quadrupled the island’s land mass. Now the seemingly last parcel of land up for sale again—this time in a luxurious building named for a sun palace.

But here, where privacy is paramount, you'll never find out where the Fisher king—or queen—resides... unless you count Oprah's residency.

I'm the founder of the nationally recognized real estate brand known as Miamism.  We are a team of real estate agents working with Majestic Properties with offices in Miami's Design District and South Beach.  I am one of the first real estate bloggers and have taken technology to the next level and can be found on every social media platform - all to benefit our clients and the way we market and sell properties.  With a degree in architecture, creativity is always at the top of everything I do and my desk has the tools I need to achieve just that.

I have all of the obligatory Apple products:  27" iMac, ipad, time capsule, magic trackpad and iphone - Apple products are not just pretty, they simply help maximize my production in every way imaginable.  My iPhone is surgically attached to my hand, hence doesn't appear in the picture.

A Wood desktop is a must have for me - natural wood surface keeps me centered.  I cannot work on glass or stone surface tops.  No matter what kind of technology surrounds me, wood brings it all together to harmonize my work space.

Architecture and art books - inspiration is key, books of my favorite architects and artists are always close by and my collection is constantly growing. From Tadao Ando to Richard Neutra and from Diego Rivera to Edward Hopper...they are all constant reminders

Round pencil and sketch pad - always handy to take notes, doodle and help solidify my ideas.  Also keep Sharpies and Prismacolors nearby, just because I can't live without them.

Aeron Chair - not only is it a permanent fixture in the Museum of Modern Arts, but it's a must for me because it's beautiful and so comfortable!

Fresh flowers/plants - color is an important part of my life and seeing the beauty of a single flower and its simplicity reminds me to stay humble.
