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.

In the wake of the global pandemic, one city has been quietly growing. Known for its beaches, sun, and lack of state income tax, Miami is becoming the spot for not only quarantine-weary people but also major businesses and corporations. These finance and tech monoliths are running to South Florida's shores, ready to build their newest corporate offices.  

MV Group USA is an award-winning Design-Build & Construction firm in Miami, FL. Founded in 2007 by President and CEO Manny Varas, MV Group USA has ranked among the top five best builders and top three general contractors for projects over six million dollars in Florida by GC Builders magazine. The firm is also consistently the top choice for fortune 500 CEOs, real estate developers, film celebrities, major athletes, and foreign country leaders, making them the easy decision for these top financial and technology firms relocating to the Sunshine State.

Recently, MV Group USA has built the beautiful Suite 700 in downtown Brickell and worked with internet car platform Carsaver.com, financial planning firm Ladenburg Thalman, and major holding company Vector Group.

MV Group USA, along with Borges Architects and Designer Camilla Chang, built a beautiful seventh-floor office space in the BB&T financial center in the heart of Brickell. MV Group USA transformed the interior space into a stunning corporate office. Visibility throughout the office was keen in the client's overall vision with certain private and more open spaces throughout the floor allowing them to incorporate glass circumferences for certain meeting rooms for visual connections. Its modern boldness transcends time throughout the space.

Global investment bank Ladenburg Thalman also trusted MV Group's expertise when building their corporate headquarters.

Publicly traded company Vector Group were also quick to choose MV for their corporate headquarter needs. Focusing on dark woods and beautiful glass doors, this office is just another testament to the quality of work MV Group USA does.

Carsaver.com is a renowned free online auto-buying platform owned by Sean Wolfington, Chairman and CEO of The Wolfington Companies. When Carsaver decided to build their corporate headquarters as well, MV Group USA was their only choice.

The project took about a year to complete as MV's team took on the design-build and oversaw the construction management. The penthouse unit was a multi-million dollar project that has smart features, lighting, and music that can be controlled for any event or client meeting at any time of the day. It also includes an event space, kitchen, and panoramic views of Biscayne Bay. Now, Carsaver is expanding even more and MV Group USA is building an additional 12,000 square feet that will include a movie theater.

“Built around you,” MV Group is not your average builder. They tailor every project to each client’s unique outlook and vision, which is exactly why they were ranked #2 among the best residential contractors by Buildzoom in 2017. For every project, they gather an all-star team of designers and architects to not only fulfill and supersede the client's overall vision but to do so most importantly with their budget in mind.

Onda, Bay Harbor Islands, FL

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

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

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

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

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

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

Photo Credit: Tecma Solutions SpA

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

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

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

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

Photo Credit: Tecma Solutions SpA

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

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

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

“A Florida seaside setting as incredible as Hollywood coupled with the architecturally mesmerizing QUINT Collection, this project epitomizes the lifestyle buyers seek when they look to South Florida,” says Jesús Quintero, CEO and Founder of JQ Group of Companies. “QUINT Collection Hollywood is redefining luxury living and we are confident that Lourdes and Miguel’s strong client relations throughout the Northeast and in various international markets will award us a rapid sell-out.”

"I think QUINT is one of the best-kept secrets," adds Alatriste, member of the Haute Residence Network. "I feel it hasn't been exposed to its full potential - especially given what buyers are currently looking for [in the market]. Having a boutique development that offers dockage of this size and the beach steps away is priceless. I am certain this project will appeal to a broad range of buyers and am excited to be representing it."

Comprised of 10 exquisitely designed townhomes, with a unit sold in December 2020 for $2,495,000 by Douglas Elliman agent Craig Chassen, QUINT Collection Hollywood has nine units remaining. With construction now complete, residents have the opportunity to move in immediately. Townhomes at QUINT Collection feature 3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathroom units priced from $2,624,000 to $3,050,000.

The townhomes offer 10-foot high ceilings with floor plans ranging in size from 3,100-3,500 square feet, with terraces up to 10 feet deep and a private 2-car garage. Custom finishes include Italkraft and Gaggenau appliances, porcelain floors, a glass-enclosed elevator, and more. Five-story residences feature a sky deck with a summer kitchen, jacuzzi, and entertainment area. A residents-only marina includes 12 slips ranging between 55-80 feet with permitting ready-to-install lift if desired.

The 28-story, 263-residence high-rise, already 75% sold, is a collaboration that involves globally acclaimed architect Chad Oppenheim and London-based interior designer YOO Design Group.

The remaining elegantly appointed residences range in size from 980 to 2,448 square feet. Prices for remaining move-in-ready units start in the $500’s.

Metropica, one of the largest mixed-use communities under construction in the nation, is located between Miami and Fort Lauderdale. Offering the amenities of a luxury condominium, yet well-sited within a traditionally suburban community, One Metropica provides its residents with the best-of-all-worlds: space and accessibility. This includes walkability, along with easy access to top golf courses and Ft. Lauderdale Beach, and direct access to major thoroughfares, such as the Sawgrass Expressway, I-75 and the Florida Turnpike.

Residences are marked by stunning features, including floor-to-ceiling impact glass windows, imported porcelain tile throughout, smart home technologies, and designer plumbing fixtures by Hansgrohe.

As a whole, the amenity-rich tower offers a myriad of top-level features and conveniences, including a landscaped terrace and pool, club room with a lounge, screening room, children’s playroom, state-of-the-art Technogym-equipped fitness center, and 24-hour concierge services. Metropica’s vision is focused on three key pillars – Nature, Wellness & Happiness – which is furthered by a robust Public Places initiative through an agreement with globally acclaimed artist Stefan Szczesny, whose sculptures depict the key pillars.

This latest sale at QUINT is in line with the continuing migration that South Florida has experienced, particularly from residents of the US Northeast looking to purchase a second home or completely settling down in the sunny climate year-round, plus the tax benefits that come with living in Florida, and the benefit that these units are ready to welcome their new owners.

Strategically sited on North Ocean Drive, QUINT Collection Hollywood enjoys an ideal location reflecting the privacy and exclusivity that the brand seeks for its residents. It is just 16 miles from Miami and in close proximity to the Fort Lauderdale International Airport as well as Port Everglades, from which boats have ocean access only five miles away. With a natural reserve area facing the private marina, unobstructed ocean views will forever be a part of the setting at QUINT Collection Hollywood.

With modern living at the forefront, each unit comes with a fully enclosed two-car garage on the first floor, three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a powder room, a private rooftop and an elevator with clear walls.

The sale of the contemporary retreat, No. 4901, which was finished by Fortune International Group Construction Division, is the latest in a string of recent turnkey residence sales at the property -- including seven over the past year -- as the pandemic only amplified the demand for fully finished, move-in-ready residences. Created by Pritzker prize-winning architecture firm Herzog & de Meuron, with interiors by Parisian interior design firm PYR and landscaping by architect Raymond Jungles Inc., Jade Signature is widely lauded as Miami’s most architecturally extraordinary oceanfront address -- named by Dezeen magazine in 2018 as one of the world’s top skyscrapers.

With flow-through views of both the ocean and Intracoastal Waterway, the five-bedroom, six-and-a-half-bath home features 4,953 square feet of space as well as 1,454 square feet of sprawling terraces.  Stunning accents and finishes abound, including exceptional millwork and an utterly timeless palette of beige and white, complemented by floor to ceiling glass windows and sliding doors throughout and the addition of artfully placed bronze mirrored panels to reflect the beautiful colors of the sea.

“This residence is among the most stunning in Jade Signature – reflective of the building’s overall attention to detail that has made it among the most sought-after in South Florida,” said Edgardo Defortuna, President and CEO of Fortune International Group. “Representing our last residence outside of “The Collection” offerings, the sale of No. 4901 is a testament to the tremendous demand among well-heeled buyers to live in this tower, as each of our turnkey homes have been met with almost immediate purchase.”

Likened to its own private retreat, the light-filled residence is complemented by 10-foot ceilings, walls of glass, and an open floor plan. Designed for entertaining, the home features a family room, living room, dining room, bar, playroom and service quarters. There is a kitchen with European designer cabinetry handcrafted by Snaidero and appliances by Gaggenau® and Sub-Zero®. The master bedroom boasts a resort-like feel with a separate sitting room and master baths that - dramatically extended by oceanfront terraces -- feature PYR custom-designed cabinetry and modern twin basins.

With the majority of December’s live art fairs canceled amidst the global pandemic, Miami Art Week will go largely virtual in 2020. For residents of Jade Signature in Sunny Isles Beach — Miami’s most architecturally extraordinary oceanfront address — art and culture are treasured mainstays of daily life with a myriad of illustrious artists and artwork showcased throughout the interiors of the internationally-lauded, Atlantic Ocean-facing high-rise, created by Pritzker Prize-winning architects Herzog & de Meuron with interiors designed by Parisian interior design firm PYR, led by Pierre-Yves Rochon.

Clean lines and natural light inspire the sweeping architecture of Jade Signature, while expansive windows seamlessly draw the beauty of the endless ocean vista within. Jade Signature’s Art Collection continues this spirit of openness and connection to the outside world, with each piece flowing from one to the next. An array of international artists were selected to weave this visual story – emphasizing texture, color, medium, and perspective, and offering a sophisticated vignette of one’s relationship to nature and the surrounding landscape.

Upon entry through Jade Signature’s stately porte-cochère and sprawling, double-height lobby, the tower’s link between its innovative artistry and natural surroundings is profound and quite evident. Residents are immediately welcomed by “Contact Lens,” an acrylic glass installation by Haruka Kojin that explores the space between reality and ones’ senses. The commissioned composition connects viewers to the architecture as it traces the spiral shape of Jade Signature’s ornate staircase and interacts with the abundance of light pouring through the atrium as it reflects the captivating panoramic ocean views.

Sweeping curves of warm-colored wood paneling combine with beautifully styled contemporary furniture – including pieces by Promemoria, Yves Klein and exclusive pieces custom-designed by Pierre-Yves Rochon, set in deep blues, soft grays, and delicate whites. All complement the pristine finish of the lobby’s grand Pierre-Yves Rochon-designed terrazzo flooring and carved solid marble reception desk.

Moving through Jade Signature’s well-appointed lobby and lobby-level Clubroom, in addition to other exceptionally designed indoor living areas such as a library and reading lounge, residents will experience a litany of impressive art pieces – ranging from stoneware, wood and marble sculptures to hand-cut paper art to gradient digital prints -- by renowned international artists such as Ed Bentley, Benoît Averly, Jessica Riordan, Fitzhugh Karol, Marta Cadonici, Angela Chan, Kristina Krogh, Donald Martiny, and Igor Vitomirov, to name a few.

During the 2017 Miami Art Week, Jade Signature and developer Fortune International Group celebrated the unveiling of Bonhomme Universe, the tower’s gemstone “snowman,” a whimsical piece by Romania-born artist Daniel Knorr which was commissioned as a public sculpture on the beach by Fortune International Group President and CEO Edgardo Defortuna.

Photo Credit: Courtesy of Jade Signature

Knorr first began creating these sculptures when he became fascinated by the conceptual possibility of a snowman existing without snow. In Bonhomme Universe, he re-located this cold-climate object to a sub-tropical environment, releasing it from the material it was once reliant on. Bonhomme Universe stands 10.5' tall and 5.57' wide at the base. The "snowman" is crafted around a metal grid of stainless steel and topped with concrete which is adorned with 28 different types of precious and semi-precious stones that have been polished and treated for durability, including green quartz, red jasper and moonstone. The vibrant gemstones chosen were inspired by the colors of the Miami landscape yet sourced from around the world. These natural materials reflect the diverse mesh of buyers at Jade Signature, a testament to Miami’s unique cultural identity. Instead of the typical broom for an arm, this snowman has a palm tree, fashioned from stainless steel. This extended arm serves as a friendly wave to passersby, but also has the deeper visual reference, with the palm tree an ancient symbol of peace, victory, and eternal life that originated in Near East and Mediterranean culture.

Adding to the unmistakable appeal of Jade Signature -- which was named by Dezeen magazine as one of the top skyscrapers of 2018 -- the tower also has a full-service, full-floor spa by natural beauty trailblazer Tata Harper, a state-of-the-art fitness center, wine bar, entertainment and game lounge, business center, playroom and tech lounge for children and teens, as well as a full-service concierge.  A stunning deck overlooking the beach has an organic, zero-entry, free-form swimming pool, which is conveniently adjacent to secluded cabanas, a heated spa, 25-meter lap pool, and the gourmet Jade Signature Beach Bar & Grill, which is private for residents and their guests.

Currently, a limited number of residences remain for sale within Jade Signature, including several turnkey homes by renowned interior designers.   The building’s most luxurious offerings -- a portfolio known as “The Collection” -- has a compilation of two-story Sky Villas and a two-story penthouse, ranging from $11.9 million to $29.5 million. The Sky Villas offer spectacular features, such as flow-through views, expansive terraces, private elevators, smart technology, service quarters and PYR-designed bathroom cabinetry.

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

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

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

Photo Credit: DBOX

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

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

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

Photo Credit: DBOX

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

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

Photo Credit: DBOX

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

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

Aston Martin DBX

Photo Credit: Aston Martin

The Aston Martin DBX en route to Miami this October was hand-crafted at the new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in St Athan, Wales. It is among the first ones to roll off the production line at the Welsh facility. The ultimate quality of British craftsmanship and engineering is reflected in the new location. The waterfront Aston Martin Residences, mirroring the same, will provide a warm South Florida home to the DBX currently on the way to its new home.

Global property developer G&G Business Developments recently completed the construction of the 26th floor of the building, with 4o more to go in the 66-story curvilinear architectural masterpiece.

Aston Martin Residences was designed by Revuelta Architecture and Bodas Miami Anger, with every detail carefully curated to match the essence of Aston Martin.

The sailboat shaped tower, located at 300 Biscayne Boulevard Way, is set for completion in 2022. It will house 391 residences and penthouses in total, priced from the $970,000s to upwards of $50 million.

The building’s iconic, award-winning designs -- the vision of renowned luxury developer Fortune International Group -- are a celebration of South Florida’s most desirable attributes, marked by a seamless connection to the adjacent beach and glistening Atlantic Ocean that serves as its own backyard.

Photo Credit: DBOX

Taking inspiration from the tower’s natural surroundings, architects uniquely installed Jade Signature’s three-story parking garage underground -- eliminating the pedestal at the surface and allowing the ground floor to connect to the pool. As a result, all of the building’s amenities, designed by Pierre-Yves Rochon, founder of Parisian interior design firm PYR, are on or just above beach level -- with the street connecting to the ground-floor amenities and lobby, and the lobby overlooking the pool.

Upon entry through the porte-cochère and sprawling, light-filled lobby, the tower’s link to the ocean environment that surrounds it is profound and quite evident.  Walls of glass frame jaw-dropping views of cerulean and cobalt-blue Caribbean waters while an ornate spiral staircase leads residents just a few steps down to the beach.

Photo Credit: DBOX

Before reaching the sand, a stunning deck with an organic, zero-entry, free-form swimming pool sits adjacent to secluded cabanas, a heated spa, and a 25-meter lap pool.  These offerings are flanked by the Jade Signature Beach Bar & Grill – a gourmet restaurant (private for residents and their guests) which boasts a seasonal farm-to-table menu as well as sweeping water views.  Broadening the tower’s conveniences and ties to its natural surroundings, residents have access to private beach amenities, including chaise lounges, umbrellas, and towel-and-beach services.

The pavilion features an elevated water therapy terrace and three Jacuzzi pools -- each with its own temperature -- perfect for enjoying vacation-like ocean vistas by day and year-round balmy breezes by night.

Turquoise water views extend to the tower’s full-service, full-floor spa by natural beauty trailblazer Tata Harper. Representing her first-ever full-service Florida spa, Harper’s eponymous, award-winning line of 100% natural products is featured in the coastal casual, chic venue (exclusive to residents and their guests), which is complete with a sauna, steam room, hammam, relaxation zone, and treatment rooms.

Photo Credit: DBOX

The tower -- which was named by Dezeen magazine as one of the top skyscrapers of 2018 – also has a state-of-the-art fitness center, library and reading lounge, wine bar, clubroom, entertainment and game lounge, business center, playroom and tech lounge for children and teens, full-service concierge, private elevator entrances, and smart technology throughout.

Currently, a limited number of residences remain for sale within Jade Signature, including several turnkey homes by renowned interior designers.   The building’s most luxurious offerings -- a portfolio known as “The Collection” -- has a compilation of two-story Sky Villas and a two-story penthouse, ranging from $13.99 million to $29.5 million. The Sky Villas offer spectacular features, such as flow-through views, expansive terraces, private elevators, smart technology, service quarters and PYR-designed bathroom cabinetry. The two-story penthouse boasts all of these world-class features as well as a private pool, gym and 360-degree views.

The 28-story, 263-residence high-rise is the brainchild of the creative team of Metropica Development, LLC, in collaboration with globally acclaimed architect Chad Oppenheim and London-based interior designer YOO Design Group.

Joseph Kavana, CEO of Metropica Development, LLC, has announced that his team is fully prepared to begin closings of the move-in ready residences -- which can be handled in-person as well as virtually -- ensuring that Metropica buyers from across the globe will be able to finalize their purchases.

Metropica, one of the largest mixed-use communities under construction in the nation, is located within the South Florida City of Sunrise and is destined to transform the western corridor of Broward County. As a pedestrian-friendly city center in the heart of a traditionally suburban community, it affords buyers with the best-of-all-worlds – all the amenities of a luxury condominium, coupled with open spaces and a direct connection to an abundance of nature.

The elegantly appointed residences range in size from 961 to 2,022 square feet, and remaining units are priced starting in the $400’s. To date, 75 percent of the units at ONE Metropica Residences have been purchased by an array of buyers spanning the U.S., Latin America, Europe, and Asia.

“We are extremely proud to be delivering our first residential building to the market,” adds Bernard Werner, President of Metropica Development, LLC. “Our buyers have embraced our vision for this extraordinary community and its three key pillars: Nature, Wellness & Happiness. This opening commemorates a milestone in our journey and a preview of more great things to come.”

The closing process can be completed in-person, or buyers can avail themselves to a virtual closing process. Every possible measure has been taken by the developer to ensure a seamless delivery within a completely secure and confidential environment, all the while complying with COVID-19 guidelines and governmental regulations.

Residences in the lushly landscaped ONE Metropica Residences are marked by stunning features, including floor-to-ceiling impact glass windows, imported porcelain tile throughout, smart home technologies, designer plumbing fixtures by Hansgrohe, and a choice between two elegant finish palettes: nature and minimal.

As a whole, the amenity-rich tower will offer a myriad of top-level features and conveniences, all exclusive to residents, including a landscaped terrace and pool, club room with a lounge, screening room, children’s playroom, state-of-the-art fitness center, and 24-hour concierge services.

“The level of luxury and amenities within ONE Metropica Residences are at par with South Florida’s most notable residential buildings,” said Kavana, “inclusive of a very robust Art in Public Places initiative through an agreement with globally acclaimed artist Stefan Szczesny, which also depicts Metropica’s three pillars – Nature, Wellness and Happiness.”

When completed, Metropica will encompass approximately four million square feet and consist of residential condominiums, apartments, boutique hotels, commercial office space, expansive green spaces and a burgeoning world-class culinary, retail, entertainment and lifestyle experience for residents and visitors to enjoy.

“Our goal is for Metropica to not only be an area standout,” concludes Kavana, “but also a beacon of optimism for all those who will live, work and play within the community.”

At Jade Signature in Sunny Isles Beach -- the widely-lauded oceanfront condominium created by Pritzker prize-winning Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron -- the "turnkey trend" and its overarching appeal could not be more evident.

Here within the iconic tower, which was named by Dezeen magazine as one of the world’s top 10 high-rises for 2018, the innovative, eye-catching artistry of an assemblage of award-winning designers has become vastly sought after by well-heeled buyers.  The developer of Jade Signature, luxury leader Fortune International Group, hand-picked these designers to complete a collection of remaining residences – which, in turn, were met with swift praise…and almost immediate purchase.

Just a few weeks ago, for instance, unit No. 5003 was still in the final stages being furnished by luxury contemporary lifestyle specialist Addison House, when it went under contract to an unidentified buyer.

In response to this near sell-out, Fortune International Group is collaborating once again with renowned Brazilian designer Artefacto on a new move-in-ready residence, soon to be unveiled. In the last year and a half, Artefacto has furnished a selection of jaw-dropping residences in Jade Signature -- all of which have sold. CEO Paulo Bacchi and his team are now developing the to-the-nines interior designs of No. 4901, which is slated for delivery in the coming weeks.  This five-bedroom, six-and-a-half-bath haven has 4,953 square feet of living space and 1,454 square feet of living room-like outdoor terraces.

Also currently on the market is the Meyer Davis-designed North Sky Villa, No. 5305, priced at $14.9 million.  The one-of-a-kind, double-height hideaway comprises five bedrooms and six and a half baths, spread throughout 6,513 square feet of interior space, with an additional 1,407 square feet of terraces.  Design highlights by the New York-based firm include a first-floor, astronomy-themed guest bedroom -- outfitted with a celestial rug from Moooi and artwork above the bed depicting an eclipse -- and an equestrian-themed queen bedroom on the second floor with linen wall coverings as well as Hermés wallpaper in the bath.

Adding to the unmistakable appeal of Jade Signature -- which boasts interiors by Parisian interior design firm PYR, led by Pierre Yves-Rochon, and landscaping by revered architect Raymond Jungles -- the tower also has a full-service, full-floor spa by natural beauty trailblazer Tata Harper, a state-of-the-art fitness center, library and reading lounge, wine bar, clubroom, entertainment and game lounge, business center, playroom and tech lounge for children and teens, as well as a full-service concierge.  A stunning deck overlooking the beach has an organic, zero-entry, free-form swimming pool, which is conveniently adjacent to secluded cabanas, a heated spa, 25-meter lap pool, and the gourmet Jade Signature Beach Bar & Grill, which is private for residents and their guests.

Here, where turquoise and cobalt-blue Caribbean waters break over an unspoiled stretch of sugar-soft sand, landscape architecture authority Raymond Jungles has created a verdant, Zen-like work-of-art.

When Jungles was tapped by the project’s award-winning developer, Fortune International Group, to transform the property into an opulent retreat, he exceeded every expectation.  The end-result was incomparable to any other area condominium.  

Photo Credit: Leo Diaz

Because Jade Signature’s parking garage was built underground -- creating a direct connection between the lobby-level, ground-floor amenities and the beach -- and due to its parallelogram footprint, which has allowed for infinitely more sunlight across the undulating terrain -- Jungles had the extraordinary ability to create a mesh of verdant gardens right at the surface (a rarity for most high-rises, which are often marked by towering concrete pedestals at their base).  

With a uniquely vast canvas to work from, Jungles’ subsequent creation was rooted, quite literally, in native flora and fauna -- directly inspired by the natural surrounding beauty of one of the globe’s most treasured coastlines.

Photo Credit: Leo Diaz

Winding gardens -- rich with coastal dune vegetation, including thick-leafed Sea Grape, Buttonwood and Seven Year Apple specimens -- are complemented by canopies of swaying Coconut, Sabal and Cabbage palms. Natural grasses flank colorful thickets of indigenous wildflowers and encircle pockets of the beach, providing intimate opportunities for relaxation.  Jade Signature’s zero entry free-form swimming pool and lap pool, as well as the Jade Signature Beach Bar & Grill gourmet restaurant and secluded cabanas, are enveloped in vegetation, adding a veil of privacy and shade, while still framing unobstructed views of adjacent ocean waters. Adding to the sheer beauty of Jungles’ design is a showpiece at the tower’s entrance: A grand, 60+-foot tall Kapok tree, which provides sculptural punctuation to the condominium’s timeless landscape.

Currently, a limited number of residences remain for sale within Jade Signature, including several turnkey homes by renowned interior designers. The building’s most luxurious offerings -- a portfolio known as “The Collection” -- has a compilation of two-story Sky Villas and a two-story penthouse, ranging from $11.9 million to $29.5 million.
