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 post The Intersection Of Art And Architecture At Jade Signature appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The post Demand For Turnkey Residences At Herzog & De Meuron’s Jade Signature Inspires New, Soon To Be Unveiled Designer Home appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

As a result of this trend, there is an increasing desire among individuals to not only be as immersed as possible in these surroundings, but to maximize such coveted connections through their own homes.

Going beyond the walls and linking directly to outdoor elements (including sunlight, balmy breezes and sweeping azure views) is the inspiration behind the designs of Pritzker Prize-winning architect Herzog & de Meuron’s Jade Signature condominium in Sunny Isles Beach. The iconic, award-winning high-rise, which was developed by revered luxury developer Fortune International Group, is adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean, providing residents with a synergistic connection to pristine, tranquil beaches and the sparkling Caribbean waters beyond.

Photo Credit: DBOX

Here, within each residence, the landscape that envelops the building is captured from one room to the next. Walls of glass blur the boundaries between interior and exterior, while a multitude of expansive terraces – each up to 25 feet deep -- double as outdoor living rooms. From these rarefied, resort-like retreats (likened to single-family homes in terms of size and scope), residents can look up and down the coastline and out to the horizon with a true sense of encompassing serenity.

Photo Credit: DBOX

The one-of-a-kind, $29.5 million, two-story penthouse, for example, boasts 11,661 square feet of interior space and 7,571 square feet of exterior space, including a 360-degree wraparound terrace.  Complete with a private pool, gym, and seemingly endless options for alfresco dining, entertainment and relaxation, the home is an indoor-outdoor haven -- and is perched atop one of the world’s most sought-after oceanfront destinations.

Photo Credit: DBOX

The Sky Villas at Jade Signature are also distinct in their connection to nature.  In addition to sprawling terraces, they feature double-height ceilings – the only homes at Jade Signature to boast such an asset – making them (and their jaw-dropping vistas) a must-see for prospective buyers.  Additional highlights in all of these offerings -- which are part of “The Collection” at Jade Signature -- include private elevators, service quarters, and bathroom cabinetry by Parisian interior design firm PYR, led by Pierre-Yves Rochon, Jade Signature’s interior architect.

The tower -- which was named by Dezeen magazine as one of the top skyscrapers of 2018 -- 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.

Outside, winding gardens of verdant flora and fauna, crafted by landscape architecture authority Raymond Jungles, give residents even more of a feel that they’re inhabiting an oasis on the beach.  A stunning deck overlooking the beach has an organic, zero-entry, free-form swimming pool -- next to secluded cabanas, a heated spa, and 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 -- further emphasizing that there’s no place like home, especially at Jade Signature.

The post Wide Open Terraces, Walls Of Glass Draw The Outdoors In At Jade Signature, Herzog & De Meuron’s Award-winning Oceanfront Condominium appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

It’s the dreamy image of an idyllic, jet set-worthy destination – serene and enviable all at once. But at Jade Signature, Miami’s most architecturally-extraordinarily oceanfront address, it’s home.

Here, for residents of the award-winning residential high-rise in Sunny Isles Beach -- the vision of revered luxury developer Fortune International Group and the pièce de résistance of Pritzker Prize-winning architect Herzog & de Meuron -- the South Florida coastline is the “back yard” and the Atlantic Ocean is an extension of home. 

In addition to the building’s innovative artistry, which has made it one of the most lauded by both architecture and design critics, it’s Jade Signature’s direct and rarefied connection to the beach that has made it a must-see home-site for high-net-worth individuals worldwide.

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

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 ocean views.  Furthering the tower’s parade of conveniences, residents have access to private beach amenities, including chaise lounges, umbrellas, and towel and beach services.

Like Jade Signature’s common areas, the residences of the tower mirror the connection to nature through flow-through floor plans, inspiring views of the horizon, and expansive terraces that could easily double as outdoor living rooms.  Floor-to-ceiling glass doors and windows draw the outdoors in, giving residents the unique ability to enjoy year-round balmy breezes and vacation-like vistas each and every day.       

Only a handful homes 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.

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.

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.

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.

A contemporary oceanside escape designed to stand the test of time, the award-winning Jade Signature residential high-rise continues to beckon the most discerning luxury homebuyers to its sugary-sand beachfront, stunningly appointed flow-through interiors, and seemingly endless azure views of the Atlantic Ocean. Marked by high-style and a sophistication that has been lauded worldwide by design critics and journalists alike, the tower is rightfully hailed as Miami’s most architecturally extraordinary oceanfront address.

Well-sited on the pristine shoreline of Sunny Isles Beach, Jade Signature is the vision of luxury real estate leader Fortune International Group.

It continues its reign as one of the most decorated condominiums in the U.S., having been the recipient of more than a dozen accolades since its March 2018 opening, including 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; the “Most Innovative Beachside Residential Development” distinction by BUILD Magazine; a singling-out by Dezeen magazine as one of the “Top 10 Skyscrapers of 2018”; and the 2018 International Property Awards’ “Best in USA” for Residential High-rise Architecture and Residential High-rise Development, among other top honors.

Currently, a limited number of residences remain for sale within the building, including several recently completed turnkey homes by renowned interior designers. Jade Signature’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. The two-story penthouse boasts all of these world-class features as well as a private pool, gym and 360-degree views.

The Upper North Sky Villa at Jade Signature is a work of art in and of itself, marked by custom designs by Meyer Davis. Inside, five bedrooms and six and a half baths are spread throughout 6,509 square feet of flow-through space, meticulously crafted to bring the outdoors in. Natural light pours into living areas through floor-to-ceiling windows, while 1,407 square feet of terraces frame views of the ocean, surrounding city and Intracoastal Waterway. In producing and hand-picking furnishings and fixtures for this particular residence, Meyer Davis was chiefly inspired by the building’s ocean views and proximity to the beach. Rich and vibrant polished metals -- as well as custom rugs with gold accents -- were incorporated into the interiors to bring a metropolitan edge to the unit’s neutral palette. Wallcoverings were used in nearly every living area, not only to provide a sense of warmth within the space, but to create a rich textural quality.

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 post The Award-Winning Jade Signature Has Few Designer Turnkey Homes Remaining appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

Developed under the leadership of husband-and-wife team Edgardo and Ana Cristina Defortuna of Fortune International Group, and created by the Pritzker-Prize winning architecture firm Herzog & de Meuron -- in collaboration with Parisian interior designer Pierre-Yves Rochon (PYR) and landscape architect Raymond Jungles -- sales and construction began in 2013. To date, 95% of the 192 residences have been purchased by an array of buyers spanning the U.S., Latin America and Europe. Financing for the 57-story tower, which is located at 16901 Collins Avenue in Sunny Isles, was provided by HSBC. With this initial TCO achieved, the development team expects that the building will be fully completed for its official opening at the end of the first quarter.

Nearly sold out, Jade Signature has a limited assemblage of residences remaining among the tower’s most luxurious units.  Known as “The Collection,” the portfolio is a compilation of two-story Sky Villas and penthouses, ranging from $14.2 million to $32.9 million. The Sky Villas offer stunning features, such as flow-through views, expansive terraces, private elevators, smart technology, service quarters and PYR-designed bathroom cabinetry. The two, full-floor penthouses boast all of these world-class features as well as a private pool, gym and 360-degree views of the Atlantic Ocean, Intracoastal Water and the Miami skyline. Additional offerings include three- to five-bedroom residences, with sizes starting at 3,312 square feet and prices starting at $4.8 million.

The roots of Jade and the journey of its brand trace back to 2004 and Miami’s Financial District, where Jade on Brickell Bay was developed by Fortune International Group.  The project’s prominence and accolades eventually paved the way for the creation of Jade Ocean and Jade Beach in Sunny Isles -- and now, Jade Signature.  Coinciding with Jade Signature’s final stages of completion, the company celebrated an additional milestone in November: the commemoration of nearly 35 years in the luxury residential real estate industry…a benchmark that will be celebrated when Jade Signature officially opens in the weeks ahead.

“We are so proud to be of delivering this masterpiece to the world,” said Edgardo Defortuna, President and CEO of Fortune International Group.  “Our buyers have long recognized our vision and strength, knowing full-well what the final result will be when a group of industry leaders set out to create something extraordinary.”

“Like the kapok tree’s symbolism of strength and resiliency, and the jewel-adorned, snowman-shaped ‘Bonhomme Universe’ sculpture’s embodiment of Miami’s unique diversity, Jade Signature, as a whole, is a testament to rare artistry and singular design,” Defortuna continued. “This particular project is the pinnacle of the Jade brand’s journey, representing the growth of a legacy and its future admiration by generations to come.”

Jade Signature exemplifies a revolutionary approach to design: From the inside out, the building’s most intricate details demonstrate a focus on ultra-luxe living. From the porte-cochère to the building’s iconic silhouette, each architectural aspect is mindful of residents and their experience within the space, as well as Jade Signature’s adjacency to the natural environment. The common areas connect directly to the beach at ground level (a nod to the designs of Miami’s historic beachfront hotels that began drawing visitors to the area in the early 20^th century), while expansive terraces blur the boundaries between indoor and outdoor living.  As a whole, Jade Signature ensures the ultimate experience for the exclusive few who will dwell inside the 57-story, cutting-edge residential enclave.
