Aston Martin Lagonda and global property developer G&G Business Developments are celebrating the “topping out” of the stunning Aston Martin Residences at 300 Biscayne Boulevard Way in Miami. The luxury residential tower now reaches all the way up to the 66th and final residential floor and has taken its place in the aspirational Miami skyline.
Built on one of the last parcels of developable land on the Downtown Miami waterfront, Aston Martin Residences offers 391 luxury condominiums and penthouses with spectacular panoramic vistas of Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. The striking sail-shaped tower, set to be one of Miami’s most sought-after residential addresses when it is completed in 2022, is now almost 80% sold.
Germán Coto, CEO of G&G Business Developments, said: "When we acquired the land, our vision was to build a new landmark, a love letter to Miami and a new benchmark in ultra-luxury living. I’m delighted that the reality is even more magnificent than the vision. To see the Aston Martin Residences reach the top floor fills me with pride. The whole team has worked tirelessly to ensure we are on time, and the craftsmanship is exquisite. Every detail has been carefully considered to translate Aston Martin’s iconic and timeless design language into the ultimate luxury residential development."
Marek Reichman, EVP & Chief Creative Officer, Aston Martin Lagonda, said: 'This is a wonderful moment in the development of Aston Martin’s first-ever real estate partnership. It is one thing to look at the structure as drawings and models but to see this magnificent tower reach its full height is incredible. This collaboration has given Aston Martin the opportunity to define ultra-luxury in the residential space with unique and exclusive designs, exquisite materials, and detailed craftsmanship, always with an eye on the balance between beauty and performance.'
Aston Martin Residences features over 42,000 square feet of carefully considered sky amenities. Located across four floors near the top of the majestic tower, every resident will enjoy incredible panoramic views while experiencing a suite of wellness activities designed for mind, body, and soul. A private superyacht marina, a permanent art gallery, and a 24/7 butler service complete the Aston Martin Art of Living at this one-of-a-kind property.
Located at 300 Biscayne Boulevard Way, the Aston Martin Residences Miami is on track to complete at the end of next year.

]]> Karl Lagerfeld’s former mansion in Germany has hit the market for €10 million, or nearly $12 million.

The fashion mogul, who serves as creative director for both Fendi and Chanel, purchased the property in the Hamburg suburb of Blankenese back in 1989. Around the same time, his longtime partner, Parisian socialite Jacques de Bascher passed away and in a showcase of respect and commitment, Lagerfeld named the home after him – “Villa Jacko.”

Over the years, the designer left his own artistic touches on the Roman-style hilltop estate, which overlooks the Elbe River. Lagerfeld commissioned art conservator Renate Kant to restore the old-time veneer of the residence, which was originally constructed in the 1920s as a single-story home. He also filled the rooms with heavy, ornate brocades in a juxtaposition to the stern stone exterior.

Later, Lagerfeld described the interior as “very Weimar Republic” in a book titled “Ein Deutsches Haus” (A German House). Less than a decade after buying the home, he sold it, for its location was too serene to spur productivity.

“It’s impossible to live on the Elbe,” Lagerfeld said in Engel & Völkers’ proprietary magazine, GG. “You spend all your time looking out at the river. You ended up becoming lazy.”

Engel & Völkers in Hamburg has listed the classical home, which features a Roman water pool in the grant foyer, an atrium and gold-leaf ornaments throughout the living spaces on the first floor. The second story, an after-thought appended to the house in the 1930s, holds several bedrooms in a much more relaxed and cozy ambiance.
