To be delivered fully-finished when it is completed in late 2021, world-renowned Italian interior designer Piero Lissoni meticulously curated each of the modern unit interiors with precise attention to detail, inclusive of the refined Italian-made fixtures and finishes, with European custom wood flooring. Lissoni employed a palette of warm whites and rich woods for the lobby and the premier “Resident’s Lounge” -- featuring a library and breakfast bar for leisurely waterfront dining -- that evokes a timeless, classic mood reminiscent of a luxurious Côte d’Azur summer resort and responds to the building’s program of luxury living, fun lifestyle, laid-back environment, and relaxed atmosphere.

The inimitable retreat boasts five bedrooms, six-and-a-half baths, and 6,509 square feet of interior space. Adding to the home’s unmistakable appeal are its outdoor living room-like terraces, equating to an additional 1,407 square feet of space. 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.

In addition to living room ceilings that stretch 20 feet in height, each of the Sky Villas is accentuated by a collection of fine amenities and finishes.

Three panels of experts, brokers and developers from Miami to New York, from the Caribbean to Los Angeles, and up the coast to San Francisco informed and interacted with the audience in the capacity-filled event space.

If you added the total value of the transactions of luxury real estate all of them have been responsible over the course of their careers on a spreadsheet, you would end up seeing multiple billions of dollars as the result.

The Summit started on the evening of this past Tuesday, February 11th with an intimate dinner inside the building's Armani Restaurant, where Italian cuisine was the star of the evening. Just like the panels that would take place the following day, diners experienced a three-course meal that delighted the palate.

The real estate developer panel, titled "Titans of Miami," kicked off the highly anticipated Haute Residence 2020 Luxury Miami Real Estate Summit panels (read full recap here).

The panelists spoke extensively about the past, present and future of development growth in Miami, South Florida, on national, and international levels. Their developments in Miami have generated worldwide headlines and were rightfully highlighted in their answers. As well-known names in the real estate and development community, they were the perfect start to the Summit.

The Miami Power Brokers panel closed the daylong study and dialogue with a talk about the real estate market in Miami and the broader South Florida area that includes Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach Counties (read full recap here).

They spoke about the current state of the real estate market in Miami-Dade and close communities in Broward and Palm Beach counties that are a quick drive up I-95 and enjoy the same South Florida weather yearlong. Other topics included: What makes Miami and South Florida such an active destination for many around the country and the world, contrasts between the renting and buying markets, the ins and outs of searching and asking for proof of funds from potential buyers, the impact of brand names on a project, and more.

Each was asked and spoke of their success by Moderator Alex Vidal, President of RelatedISG International Realty. Most importantly for the industry insiders, brokers and agents in attendance that filled the event space to capacity, the panelists gave their tips on how to market and engage higher-priced listings and clients that come with it.

Queen of New York real estate Dolly Lenz emphasized how important it is to know and relate to a high net worth client, saying, "Read The Wall Street Journal. Know what's going on in politics; in business; where the pitfalls are, so you can share that with them. I think that's key." Her daughter, Jenny Lenz, joined her mother four years ago at Dolly Lenz Real Estate, learning about the best from the best, and brought that knowledge into the panel.

Cody Vichinsky, Founding Partner at Bespoke Real Estate, focuses his company on $10+ million listings only with an in-house team of agents and staff that tailor their listings' marketing, such as Burnt Point in The Hamptons. "We look at the market very focused in the high luxury market. We have no independent agents, so our model is entirely different from a conventional brokerage business. It's more dynamic."

Olivia Hsu Decker, Co-owner of Golden Gate Sotheby's International Realty, which encompasses over two dozen offices in the San Francisco Bay Area, hit the target as she described the luxury real estate world. "Our business is a people business," she said.

Jay Parker, CEO of Douglas Elliman Florida Brokerage, addressed the luxury market in Miami compared to other cosmopolitan cities. "You look at luxury (real estate) in other cities compared to Miami and you find that our price points (in Miami) are pretty attractive".

Michael Goldstein, President of The Trump Group, highlighted the migration to South Florida from the north as he oversees sales of The Estates at Acqualina. " 75% of our business is coming from New York," he said.

Ben Bacal, a leader in the Los Angeles real estate and creator of the Rila app, gave his expertise on the LA market. "Since 2017-2018, properties in Hillcrest have gone down in price to where they need to be. We see an uptick in international buyers. I want to teach my agents to be powerhouses in each of their market and become power agents in those areas. "

One of New York’s most successful brokers of apartments and townhouses, Richard Steinberg held nothing back as he compared and contrasted the buyers and sellers in the lower-priced and higher-priced markets. "Every seller thinks they charge too little. Every buyer thinks they pay too much,” he said. “But they buy it because they want it. My advice to people (brokers) is to go for the big stuff because it's much harder to sell the small stuff," encouraging the live audience and those that watched the live stream on Instagram to reach higher.

Sue Nickason, based in the Cayman Islands and Vice President of Marketing and Sales at Dart Real Estate, had a unique insight on the small island “tax haven”. "Our sweet spot is beach, beach, beach,” she said. “We have a brokerage that did the most sales in the Cayman Islands last year, just shy of $100 million."

On the influence of technology in the luxury real estate market, Dolly Lenz said, "I think it's playing a small role. I find it to be hyped at the moment. In five years, applications will really change how we do business."

Mary Ann Osborn, Leading Broker at Century City, followed on that, "The older people come in through signage on the property and require you to hand-hold them through the process," about the extra personal touch that comes when selling luxury real estate, particularly to people that are not as engaged with technology as younger generations.

A long round of applause was given to the panelists at the end, many who had traveled from far to participate in the Summit.

The three-course dinner of fine Italian cuisine included an antipasto option of Polpette (beef, pork and veal meatballs), a Caprese Salad, and Insalata di Cesare. The secondi included a selection of Bronzino (broiled Mediterranean sea bass), Parmigiano di Pollo Arrosto (roasted herb chicken breast), Bistecca (dry-aged filet mignon), and Tortellini Bolognese (classic red wine meat sauce). To end on a sweet note, the dolci offered tiramisu, alfajores (shortbread cookies), and a Lemon Sorbetto (amaretti cookie).

The highly-anticipated Porsche Design Tower officially became a reality in the first quarter of 2017, marking the completion of the iconic tower.

Dezer leveraged this track record of success with marquee lifestyle brands to enter into an exclusive partnership with The Related Group and Armani/Casa Interior Design Studio to launch the world-renowned fashion and furnishings designer, Giorgio Armani’s, first residential tower in the U.S. real estate market, Residences by Armani/Casa. Designed by globally-acclaimed Argentine-born architect, César Pelli, the 56-story oceanfront tower features 308 luxurious residences and incomparable amenities spanning two floors, all exquisitely designed by Armani/Casa with rich textiles and custom furnishings.

Cape Advisors, the New York City-based developer of boutique luxury condominium 30 Warren Tribeca, announced the expansion of Tribeca Select, a program that provides 30 Warren residents with exclusive,  in-home services and special offerings as well as priority status at a collection of the neighborhood’s most renowned retailers, restaurants and institutions. Reflecting the neighborhood, the program now features a celebrity floral designer and an artisanal Hudson Valley millwork company, in addition to an acclaimed sommelier, Paul Grieco. “Capturing the spirit of Tribeca and providing residents with unique access to people, places, and services is what Tribeca Select is all about,” said Craig Wood, CEO of Cape Advisors. “It’s a tool kit of sorts. The program has been very well received and we are happy to add new partners.”

Grieco's famous wine bar, Terroir, is located in the heart of Tribeca, steps from 30 Warren. It was important to Cape Advisors to embrace the neighborhood and provide residents with a simple way to discover the area. Grieco is a personality, and it’s very attractive to future residents that such a prominent member of the community will know them by name. Haute Residence caught up with David Kronman of Cape Advisors to discuss how they came up with the idea of having a resident sommelier and why an offering like this is needed with luxury buyers.

How did you all come up with the idea of having a resident sommelier? 

Everything at 30 Warren -- from its ultra-high performance hand-cast concrete facade to its Hudson Valley millwork -- is reflective of Tribeca’s essence. We felt it was important to extend this sense of place by creating Tribeca Select, a program offering unique access to a hand-picked collection of the best establishments in the neighborhood. Central to our vision for Tribeca Select was Paul Grieco, the renowned sommelier and founder of the wine bar, Terroir Tribeca. Paul was eager to bring his enthusiasm for wine directly to the living rooms of our residents and curated a unique menu of wine services-- like his consultancy for wine collecting, food pairings, auction participation, private wine tastings and more—exclusively for 30 Warren. In addition to having Paul as a resident sommelier, we partnered with Chamber Street Wines so that residents can easily acquire naturally made and rare wines and also take advantage of their temperature-controlled storage service in addition to the wine storage we’re providing in each apartment. We are thrilled to offer our buyers a wine program that is unparalleled in today’s luxury market.

Was this something you found luxury buyers wanting? 

There are two luxuries that I can confidently say our buyers universally appreciate: high-design real estate and wine. 

How did you all decide on the resident sommelier? Was there a process to find a well-rounded one?

Paul is a renowned sommelier with an international following, his wine bar, Terroir, is an anchor in the neighborhood, and he’s a huge fan of 30 Warren, so we felt he was the perfect fit. 

Do you think an offering like this will be something more luxury buildings will start to offer?

Partnering with local businesses to create exclusive, in-residence experiences for buyers has the legs to become a new trend, definitely. Cape Advisors was the first to tap a sommelier of Paul Grieco’s caliber for such a unique offering, and we’re already thinking about our next partnerships - both at 30 Warren and other buildings in our portfolio.

Do you know if your building is the first of it’s kind with this type of offering?

As far as we know, yes. We’re excited to introduce our residents to Paul Grieco and our complete wine-centric lifestyle program.

These are but a handful of the jaw-dropping highlights that define Penthouse II at 57 Ocean, which has just sold for $10.9 million to New York resident Chuck Roberts.

Roberts, who is the Managing Director/Investment with Stifel, The CR Wealth Management Group, was represented by Dina Panchernikov and Ilya Panchernikov with Douglas Elliman.

For Roberts, the draw of 57 Ocean -- an internationally lauded haven on Miami Beach’s Millionaire’s Row, Greater Miami’s most elegant stretch of beachfront on Collins Avenue -- was undeniable, having already been singled-out by buyers worldwide for its Blue Health-oriented lifestyle and ocean-inspired amenities.

“I love this location and being able to live in a brand-new condominium on the Atlantic with so many amenities that are geared toward building a healthier lifestyle, including the calming effect of the ocean and daily strolls along the beach,” said Roberts. “This penthouse offers the best of both worlds as it’s going to have unobstructed views of the water on one side, and the city on the other. The neighborhood is also excellent. It’s more tranquil and family-friendly as it’s primarily comprised of residents versus tourists, yet I’m just a five-minute drive from South Beach.”

“I am honored to represent such a significant sale in one of Miami’s most high-profile addresses,” said Dina Goldentayer Panchernikov. “We know our client will be very happy to call 57 Ocean home.”

Overlooking 220 feet of rare unspoiled waterfront, Penthouse II boasts 5,205 square feet of indoor space and 2,141 square feet of outdoor terraces. The gorgeously appointed residence will feature a grand master bedroom with a unique outdoor spa area overlooking the Atlantic, three en suite bedrooms, five-and-a-half-baths baths, a den, home theater, outdoor summer kitchen, spacious living areas, and a gourmet chef-style kitchen.

Located at 5775 Collins Avenue, between Atlantic Heights and Mid-Beach -- and fashioned by the international award-winning firm Arquitectonica -- 57 Ocean enjoys close proximity to Miami’s chic Bal Harbour Shops, the prestigious La Gorce Country Club and Golf Course, and privileged views across Miami’s most exclusive expanse of beachfront. Slated for completion in 2021, the 18-story, holistic wellness-focused property will equally embrace luxury and nature with its tropically-inspired interiors by Brazilian designer Patricia Anastassiadis. Seventy-one spacious homes will evoke a sense of timelessness and tranquility that only the turquoise waters of the Atlantic can provide.

“Health, wellness, beauty, vitality -- these are the hallmarks of a life well-lived for the world's most sophisticated and discerning real estate buyers -- and nothing embraces these qualities better than well-designed homes nestled along the water,” said Marcelo Kingston, Managing Partner of Multiplan Real Asset Management, developer of 57 Ocean. “We are pleased that this buyer will soon enjoy an enclave of sophisticated families who appreciate the many benefits of living by the sea.”

Remarks were given by Steven Gombinski, President of the Lincoln Road BID; Lyle Stern, Director of Lincoln Road BID; Howard Herring, President of New World Symphony; Ambassador Paul Cejas; Gary Nader, Founder of Nader Art Museum; and Miami Beach Mayor Dan Gelber. After the speeches, attendees headed to Lincoln Road for the official unveiling of the exhibit. After, a dinner was held at Time Out Market.

The guests included Bass Museum Director Silvia Karman Cubiñá, music mogul Emilio Estefan, Fernando Botero’s son Juan Carlos Botero, real estate developer David Martin, Miami Beach Commissioner Ricky Arriola, Michael Comras, architect Rene Gonzalez, Jorge Plasencia, artist Soraya Abu Naba’a, Telemundo TV personality and host Azucena Cierco, among others.

Previous locations that have held exhibitions of the Colombian artist's outdoor sculptures include the Champs-Élysées in Paris, Yebisu Garden in Tokyo, Lustgarten in Berlin and Park Avenue in New York City.

On his own sculptures, Botero once said, "I never give particular traits to my figures. I don’t want them to have personality, but rather represent a type that I create. My sculptures do not carry any messages, social or otherwise. What matters for me is the form, the voluptuous surfaces, which emphasize the sensuality of my work. I like the enormous size; it is the fulfillment of my longing for voluptuous round forms.”

The famous works of art to be viewed while enjoying the pleasant South Florida winter weather include "Male Torso", "Adam", "Eve", "Leda and the Swan", "Bird", "Rape of Europa", and others. Gary Nader Art Centre (62 NE, 27th street, Miami, Fla. 33137) will host the "Espacio Botero" painting, drawing and sculpture exhibit starting on December 1, 2019.

As evidenced by the latest string of accolades won by the tower’s visionaries -- including the most recent distinctions, the 2019 “American Architecture Award” by The Chicago Athenaeum: the Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies, and “Most Innovative Beachside Residential Development” by BUILD Magazine -- Jade Signature reigns supreme in prestige.

The tower, which was also named by Dezeen magazine as one of 2018’s outstanding skyscrapers worldwide, only has a handful of residences remaining. Adding to the all-embracing allure that makes these flow-through offerings especially enticing is that several have been completely finished and furnished by hand-selected, top-ranked interior designers, including Meyer Davis, Luxury Living Group, and Artefacto.

Recently completed, the Luxury Living Group corner residence, No. 4801, offered at $6.85 million (with the option to purchase it fully furnished), features five bedrooms, six-and-a-half baths, and nearly 5,000 square feet of living space. Stunning accents and finishes abound, including FENDI Casa armchairs in the foyer, a formal dining room with a contemporary table in wenge with a gunmetal base, a master suite with FENDI Casa coffee tables with verde alpi, and a terrace furnished with the Cap Ferrat collection, including Carrara marble coffee tables.

The North Sky Villa by Meyer Davis, No. 5305, is priced turnkey at $13.99 million. The one-of-a-kind, double-height retreat includes five bedrooms and six-and-a-half baths, spread through 6,513 square feet of interior space. Adding to the home’s unmistakable appeal are its outdoor living room-like terraces, equating to an additional 1,407 square feet of space. 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.

Greenwich West 

Courtesy Greenwich West

Greenwich West is the first tower in NYC designed by a female French architect and one of the tallest buildings in the Hudson Square neighborhood of Manhattan.  At 30 stories, the condominium serves as an urban lookout, providing panoramas of the Hudson River, New York Harbor, and Statue of Liberty. Designed by Loci Anima, acclaimed Paris-based architecture firm founded by Françoise Raynaud, who spent nearly two decades working alongside legendary French architect Jean Nouvel, Greenwich West is located at 110 Charlton Street in West SoHo. Raynaud brings her Parisian influences to life in a modern setting and seamlessly blends 20th-century French design with a classic New York loft feel. Greenwich West features a handmade brick facade with custom glazed brick accents made specifically for the project by the venerable Belgium brickworks Wienerberger. The building’s Art Deco-inspired curved corners lend a softness to the tower, while industrial-style casement windows – framed by elegant hand-laid brick patterns and custom pewter-glazed brick borders – salute the neighborhood’s heritage. Receding gracefully, Greenwich West’s intricate setbacks and 290-foot height allow for sprawling terraces in many homes and hallmark river views.

Located between Court Street and Boerum Place, The Symon is Brooklyn's newest full-service boutique luxury condominium, offering 59 one-to-four bedroom contemporary residences with an elevated design sensibility and acute attention to detail, as well as a thoughtfully curated amenities selection. Steeped in history, the name, The Symon, is a nod to the patriarch of the Schermerhorn family, whose aristocratic mercantile legacy dates back to the 1600s. Known for their sense of civic duty and philanthropy efforts as a patron of the arts and educational institutions of New York – particularly Columbia University – The Symon celebrates the confluence of history and culture, commerce and education. With interiors and the captivating facade designed by Studio DB, The Symon reveals modern residences inspired by historic Brooklyn, showcasing a facade with distinctive arched windows, prominent canopied entry and hand-laid brick. Taking inspiration from the celebrated heritage of Brooklyn Heights, The Symon marries rich, natural materials with classic detailing to evoke the character and distinction of the neighborhood’s treasured townhouses and grand apartments.

The striking brick and metal façade features punched glass window openings that are an important nod to the past and a reference to the historic, landmarked buildings within the surrounding NoHo neighborhood. Undulating in a step-like fashion at the top three penthouse levels and gently curving at its corners to maximize light and views, 40 Bleecker offers a boldly contemporary exterior design well situated among the historically industrial pre-war buildings of its surroundings.

Rising over 600 feet in height, the building is eloquently clad in a bronze-tone façade, accented by intricate detailing that frames expansive glass windows. Taking its place among New York’s architectural icons and inspired by the Rockefeller Group’s landmark developments, decorative lighting will illuminate the tower’s base and crown to highlight the building’s unique articulation. The contemporary design, although rooted in the past, speaks to today's modern New Yorker.

This stunning tower embodies the quintessential Miami condo tower with its 35 floors of wraparound terraces and white exterior columns that are uplit at night; but the only catch is, the building is located in the middle of Manhattan, a world away from the beaches of South Florida. All 67 homes in 200 East 59^th Street are corner units, and take advantage of the unique continuous terraces. These outdoor rooms are seamless extensions of the main living spaces, separated by floor-to-ceiling walls of glass with a slender framework and no horizontal interruptions to virtually eliminate the visual distinction between indoor and outdoor space. The residences’ column-free layouts are an engineering feat that creates flexible and unburdened interiors.

One United Nations Park

Down a private lane in the Hook Pond estate area in the heart of East Hampton village is a new home that masterfully blends a Hamptons traditional with modern sensibilities. Designed and built by Abstract Builders, LLC, the 10,000 sq ft ( on 3 levels) home is perfectly sited on this 1.6-acre lot to take full advantage of the sweeping upper floor views of Hook Pond and the Atlantic Ocean. Open and light-filled interiors are enhanced by white oak floors and the expansive use of glass-including panoramic glass sliding doors imported from Greece-allowing for seamless transitions between indoors and out. The main entrance to the home is through a sleek industrial, steel-and-glass wall that opens to a double-height entry with an adjoining oak-paneled library/den. But the hub of any home today is the kitchen/living area. Here, an open kitchen with a dramatic island of a single slab of luminous Zimbabwe granite-flows into a dining area and generous gathering room with a glamorous smoked-mirrored wet bar, all open to the outside through glass door walls. On the other side of the shared fireplace is a more intimate, formal living room. A junior master suite with direct access to the outside completes the first floor. Ascend the gracious stairway, or take the elevator, to the second floor and to the master bedroom which includes two full baths (one with a soaking tub and vanity), a windowed closet room with custom high-gloss enamel cabinetry with inset lighting, a fireplace of Arabescato marble (which matches the marble in the bathrooms), plus its very own secluded deck where you can sip your coffee and watch the swans glide on Hook Pond. Three more ensuite bedrooms, a lounge/TV nook, and one of two laundry areas complete the second level. Up one more flight is a third-floor observation deck with gas fireplace and wet bar, with an even more stunning vista. On the lower level, each end has floor to ceiling windows which make space feel truly alive in the way that only natural light can. Two ensuite bedrooms flank either side of the lower level but the remainder of the living area is open, with a double-sided travertine fireplace separating a billiard area from an informal viewing area with a 133-inch projection TV. Moving through space you'll pass a glass-enclosed wine cellar and gym, plus a full steam room and state-of-the-art Infrared sauna. Climb an outdoor teak stairway to the pool area, with a 50'x18' gunite pool and separate 10'x10' spa anchored by an elegant pool house with attached outdoor shower surround. Alabama limestone surrounds the pool edge and continues into the pool house so that with retractable glass doors on two sides it's truly integrated with its surroundings. Off the back of the main house are two covered porches with retractable screens and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen that make outdoor entertaining seamless. Time to sit back and enjoy the view and listen to the sound of the ocean.

At the end of the seventies, Shenzhen was a small market town of less than thirty thousand people. By 2016 it was a megacity of 12 million, and its population rate has not slowed down since. China sees many urban inner-city projects like ours, but Shenzhen is unique in its very sudden economic and cultural boom and resultant young population, and we had to accommodate for this. The average person living in Shenzhen is just under 30 years old.

The biggest challenge we faced throughout the project was translating our design aesthetic into something that would be appreciated by the local buyers - without compromising on the Studio language. To gain an understanding of the aesthetic we were after, we visited several new residential projects in Shenzhen and nearby Hong Kong. We found that these projects were all characterized by a high level of décor; no white walls or plain surfaces anywhere. This is a major difference compared to the US and the Western world in general, where minimalism is often strongly favored across many design platforms.

Were we to adopt a minimalist practice for this project, however, we were at risk of appearing cheap or lazy. We began to understand that luxury in Chinese design is usually defined by an abundance of materials and finishes, with emphasis on stone and marble surfaces. Initially, our team found adapting to these unfamiliar design values quite challenging, having come from a markedly different cultural background and design training. Regardless of the design choices, however, our main priority was to ensure that the project was a commercial success.

After some hard but rewarding work merging these Chinese expectations with our own design sensibility, we managed to negotiate an attractive outcome. The final design was rich and colorful with an emphasis on marble - without being overly grandiose. All the apartments were sold long before completion at asking price or more. The client was very pleased with the final result, and so we were.

20 Hook Pond Lane, East Hampton, NY | Agent: Debbie Brennaman Team 

Down a private lane in the Hook Pond estate area in the heart of East Hampton village is a new home that masterfully blends a Hamptons traditional with modern sensibilities. Designed and built by Abstract Builders, LLC, the 10,000 sq ft ( on 3 levels) home is perfectly sited on this 1.6-acre lot to take full advantage of the sweeping upper floor views of Hook Pond and the Atlantic Ocean. Open and light-filled interiors are enhanced by white oak floors and the expansive use of glass-including panoramic glass sliding doors imported from Greece-allowing for seamless transitions between indoors and out. The main entrance to the home is through a sleek industrial, steel-and-glass wall that opens to a double-height entry with an adjoining oak-paneled library/den. But the hub of any home today is the kitchen/living area. Here, an open kitchen with a dramatic island of a single slab of luminous Zimbabwe granite-flows into a dining area and generous gathering room with a glamorous smoked-mirrored wet bar, all open to the outside through glass door walls. On the other side of the shared fireplace is a more intimate, formal living room. A junior master suite with direct access to the outside completes the first floor. Ascend the gracious stairway, or take the elevator, to the second floor and to the master bedroom which includes two full baths (one with a soaking tub and vanity), a windowed closet room with custom high-gloss enamel cabinetry with inset lighting, a fireplace of Arabescato marble (which matches the marble in the bathrooms), plus its very own secluded deck where you can sip your coffee and watch the swans glide on Hook Pond. Time to sit back and enjoy the view and listen to the sound of the ocean.

236 Quimby Lane, Bridgehampton, NY 11932 | Agent: Deborah Srb 

A rare opportunity to own waterfront on prestigious Quimby Lane, this just shy of 4-acre property with 300' of frontage has had only 2 owners since 1917. This spectacular offering on Sagg Pond has commanding 180-degree views north to the bridge and to the south with views of the sparkling ocean very close by. A small sandy beach presents itself according to the water level, but there is no history of flooding as it sits in the best non-flood zone, out of harm's way. The Nantucket-style traditional with pool, tennis, 5 bedrooms, 6 full bathrooms and 2 half baths, boasts grand salon-style entertaining rooms which catered to the many important friends of the present owner, a world-famous ballerina who debuted with the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo as a young girl. Though not recently updated, the opportunity to renovate or start afresh are both options for this expansive one of a kind property that offers privacy and a chance to create an exciting estate-like setting nestled among famous neighbors who also crave all the fun waterfront activities enjoyed on this equally famous pond. Boat to the beach, paddle board, sail, kayak or just soak up the beautiful light reflected from all the water around you!

Douglas Sabo, Long Island native, has been passionate about sharing the beauty and serenity of the East End for as long as he can remember. Focusing his attention on discerning the needs of his clients has awarded him renowned titles including Privet Hedges Rookie of the Year. Haute Residence sat down with Douglas to discuss the quality of living in The Hamptons and his predictions of the future market trends.

What is your number one advice to buyers looking to make their next purchase?

I advise all my buyers to do their due diligence, if you are going to be looking to take out a mortgage start speaking with mortgage brokers so there are no surprises and you truly know what you can afford. If you don't have a real estate attorney yet, start speaking with different local attorneys so that they are ready to move the property into contract once you have an accepted offer.  Lastly, start familiarizing yourself with the area and what exactly you are looking for.  Once you have done this work, its becomes less of a headache to buy and when you do finally find the house you are ready to make an offer on you can move quickly and lessen the chance of loosing it because the early work wasn't done.

What advice would you give someone looking to relocate to The Hamptons?

My advice is to familiarize yourself with the area, between Southampton, East Hampton, Bridgehampton, Sagaponack, Sag Harbor, Watermill, Amagansett, Springs, noyack and north sea to name a few of the areas, they are all different and have their own market and price points.  Each area has its own special feel and culture and knowing what you are looking for will help you narrow in on where you would want to live

How would you describe style and quality of living in The Hamptons?   

The Hamptons is one of the premier destinations in the world.  Its a must stop on the social calendar for the worlds elites during the summer.  That being said as a beach and farm culture our style is more laid back and allows you to take time to enjoy things.  The quality of living is also unparalleled, you are surrounded by natural beauty from stunning sunsets, world renowned ocean beaches and beautiful farm views.  The Hamptons has great schools, great restaurants and a wonderfully community to live in.  You are also close to New York City making it a breeze to get in when you need to.

What real estate market trends have you seen in the last 5 years and where do you see the market and trends going in the next 5?

We have been starting to see a correction on the higher end of the market which I think will continue over the next year though the lower end of the market has remained strong.  I think in the next five years the major trend will be downsizing from large homes to having a smaller square footage but keeping all the luxury and smart home features that buyers are looking for.  Especially in the Hamptons where we are a second home market people are looking for less upkeep as the last thing they want to do when they come out for the weekend or during the summer is house work.

A lot has changed in 200 years. Horse-drawn carriages have been reduced to a tourist novelty around Central Park and The Brewster Carriage House on Broome street is now a fine example of Nuevo vintage design in New York.

The building that stands at the intersection of SOHO, the lower East side, and Nolita has so much charm that power couple John Legend and Chrissy Teigen have bought into it for the second time.

Their first one-bedroom apartment was sold in 2016 for $3.9 million, but they must have missed the orange bricks and white oak floors because in May of this year they purchased one of the penthouses.

The condo only has 9 units and now John Legend and Chrissy Teigen have lived in two of them.

Brewster Carriage House is a great reconstruction story. From being a factory to almost being demolished, to being restored with museum-like precision by artist and developer Ross Morgan, the building represents New York's Lower Manhattan luxury boom.

John Legend and Chrissy Teigen's 2,610 square feet of penthouse perch is a 3-3 with glorious 13-foot ceilings. Massive windows break up the exposed brick, and wood accented walls invite elevated views of Broome and Mott Streets.

Chrissy can watch re-runs of her show Lip Sync Battle on the retractable 133-inch projection screen. While John's Grammy-winning songs can accompany the passing clouds when played through the outdoor sound system installed on the private landscaped roof terrace.

The entire building is also green-energy efficient and wired for smart home technology. Adjusting the thermostat, raising the shades, and a host of other conveniences can be accessed via an app on the phone.

The fixtures in the apartment seek to honor the building's history while also providing a richly detailed quality. There's a copper-railed staircase framing a glass-fronted wine closet. The kitchen includes a natural quartz island surrounded by bespoke iron-faced cabinets.

A series of Juliet balconies off the living and dining areas encourage the opening of French doors to let a cocktail breathe. Industrial-yet-refined is the vibe here. Wood grains mingle with custom ironwork and exposed brick modernly offset by white walls in a setting fit for an R&B crooner and his media-savvy wife.

If John, Chrissy or their kids get hungry they won't have to go far. The block that The Brewster Carriage House anchors is encircled by high-rated and eclectic dining options. There's authentic Greek yogurt, old-world Italian, a Ramen noodle house, and Indian food only a few feet away.

Chrissy and John are based out of LA, where they purchased Rihanna's former mansion in 2016. When they do stay on the East Coast, this penthouse provides a desirable balance of style, comfort, and class. No wonder they came back to Broome Street.
