Morning strolls along pristine sugary sands... the tranquil sound of waves breaking gently against the shore… seemingly endless views of glittering cerulean and cobalt-blue waters… and refreshing year-round breezes drifting across the beach.

For residents of Jade Signature in Sunny Isles Beach—Miami’s most architecturally extraordinary oceanfront address—these are the treasured mainstays of daily life in the internationally-lauded, Atlantic Ocean-facing high-rise, created by Pritzker Prize-winning architects Herzog & de Meuron.

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…a rarity among condominiums up and down Florida’s coastline and a nod to the designs of Miami’s historic oceanfront hotels that began drawing visitors to the area in the early 20th century.

Here, the architects have taken inspiration from the tower’s postcard-worthy setting to maximize views and connectivity, giving it the feel of a five-star resort.

A three-story parking garage was uniquely installed 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 amenities and lobby, and the lobby overlooking the pool. Jade Signature is furthermore surrounded by a large expanse of lush tropical landscaping (no other local development has this proportion of greenery), with gently sloping vegetation providing unbroken access between the building, resort deck, and beach. These oceanside venues and their distinct attributes are unparalleled, satisfying nearly every imaginable comfort and convenience.

Through the stately porte-cochère and Jade Signature’s sprawling, light-filled lobby, a stunning deck and an organic, zero entry free-form swimming pool are neighbored by secluded cabanas, a heated spa, and 25-meter lap pool. All 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. Adding to the tower’s litany of features, residents have access to private beach amenities, including chaise lounges, umbrellas, and towel and beach services.

Designs of the indoor living areas, complemented by floor-to-ceiling windows, beautifully draw the outdoors in. The well-appointed playroom and tech lounge for children and teens, which overlooks the pool, is hailed as a ‘must-see,’ not only for its Hermès wallpaper, state-of-the-art technology and a plethora of interactive games, but its connection to the outdoors. Azure views extend to the tower’s full-service, full-floor spa by natural beauty trailblazer Tata Harper. Featuring her eponymous, award-winning line of 100% natural products, the serene venue (exclusive to residents and their guests), is complete with a sauna, steam room, hammam, relaxation zone, and treatment rooms. The lobby-level Club Room, with its inimitable PYR finishes, high ceilings, jade and gold accents, and furniture by Hermès and Roche Bobois (among other top designers), is just as admired for its interiors as it is its covered outdoor terrace, which boasts wide views of the shoreline.

Additional amenities that lead to the beach and ocean include Jade Signature’s state-of-the-art fitness center, library and reading lounge, wine bar, entertainment and game lounge, and business center. Essentially, the architects have left no detail overlooked, making the tower incomparable to any other residential building in the region and ensuring that the ultimate experience is enjoyed by the exclusive few who dwell inside the rarified retreat.

The post Ginger Martin and Carol Sebastiani Talk Napa Valley Real Estate and Market Challenges appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

Buyers must be able to visualize themselves and their family living in a given space, so it is most important that sellers stage their home in a clean, bright, and uncluttered fashion that is free of too many personal possessions. Any sign of animals or smoking is also a difficult subject for many buyers to embrace. Once a seller has made the decision to sell their property, they need to commit to making the property as attractive as possible to the broad base of the market.  Little thing like sprucing up the landscaping to improve curb appeal and offering a fresh coat of bright, neutral color paint to key rooms can go a long way to giving buyers a  good feeling about a particular property from the moment they walk up the driveway.

What sets you apart from your competition in your market?

I have 30 years of experience in luxury residential real estate in Florida, California, and Ohio. A joint venture partner with top area general contractors in all three states, I have unique perspective on quality living at the highest levels. Many of the signature properties that I have been involved with in Palm Beach, Florida and Bel-Air, California represent the "best of the best" that only clients seeking international  destinations can appreciate. That experience gives me a knowledge base that few realtors enjoy.

What is  your business philosophy?

I want every client to feel like they are my most important customer. I run a very specialized luxury practice, and I wish to tailor a  program for each person to suits their individual needs. For example, some clients are very analytical and feel comfortable with spreadsheets and charts relating to comparative market analysis, while others are visual and can't get enough of photos, maps, and aerial views of properties. Most of all, I am available 24/7 because clients at this level have earned the right to only the best in customer service.

What is the job market like or major industries that are at the core of this area?

The economy of Naples is based largely on tourism and real estate development. Due to its proximity to the Everglades and Ten Thousand Islands, Naples is also popular among ecotourists.

The Naples metro area is home to major private employers and numerous small businesses. Fortune 1000 company Health Management Associates and medical equipment manufacturer Arthrex are located just north of the city in North Naples. Due to the wealth present in Collier County, Naples is also home to many small non-profit organizations.

What is transportation like to the area's major surrounding cities, or within the city?

C.A.T (Collier Area Transit) are Naples’ “Trolly-wrapped” buses and there are numerous taxi/limo services available. The closest major airport to Naples is Southwest Florida International Airport located in Fort Myers, FL.  Naples is also within driving distance to airports in Miami, Tampa and Orlando.
