The St. Regis Residences is one of Miami’s most anticipated luxury developments. Located on the coastline of Brickell, The St. Regis will be made up of a 48-story east tower and a 47-story west tower. Prices will start at $2.8 million for 2,300 to 8,900 square foot residences.

Developed by Related Group and Integra Investments alongside premier brokerage ONE Sotheby’s International Realty, The St. Regis Residences, Miami has officially launched sales for its east tower. This sales launch coincides with the record-breaking demand for South Florida real estate as experienced by ONE Sotheby’s.

"As South Florida continues growing into a nexus of design, culture, and luxury, The Residences present a rare opportunity to call one of the city’s most sought-after neighborhoods home,” said Daniel de la Vega, President of ONE Sotheby’s International Realty. “There is no doubt about it, 1809 Brickell Avenue will go down in history as one of Miami’s most significant addresses.”

The interior designs of the buildings by Robert A.M. Stern Architects (RAMSA) and Rockwell Group combine The Regis brand’s iconic look with a Miami-inspired aesthetic.

“The interior concept for The Residences was inspired by Miami’s history as a major trading and travel hub from the 19th century to the present, as well as the city’s coastal location, unique ecosystem, and the building’s unparalleled views of the Biscayne Bay,” said Greg Keffer, Partner at Rockwell Group. “Land and sea travel had a transformative role in the development of South Florida, from the extension of the East Coast Railway to the establishment of the Port of Miami, which attracted travelers by train and cruise ship to explore the ‘magic city.’ All of these ideas have informed our interiors’ blend of leisure and luxury.”

There are over 60,000 square feet of hand-curated amenities on the property. Each tower of The St. Regis Residences includes a tearoom, fitness center, open-air exercise deck, golf VR room, sky-level bar, and numerous gathering spaces. A spa area with private treatment rooms as well as cold dip and regulation lap pools will serve as the central communal space connecting both towers.

Each of the east tower’s 149 residences will feature light oak cabinetry, bronze fixtures, and a stone-topped island. Master bathrooms will include separate double vanities, powder rooms, and freestanding bathtubs. Residences and guests of The St. Regis Residences, Miami will also be able to enjoy the brand’s signature butler service and a collection of museum-quality art throughout the buildings.

Trump, Dezer led the Trump Organization’s first foray into the South Florida real estate market through the successful development of Trump Grande Ocean Resort and Residences and Trump Towers in Sunny Isles Beach.

Dezer Development received a $214 million construction loan from Wells Fargo in September 2013, at the time marking the largest loan for a single construction project in the Southeast in the post-recession era. 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.

Palazzo Del Sol & Palazzo Della Luna

Sister properties Palazzo Del Sol and Palazzo Della Luna on Miami's prestigious Fisher Island will come together by a "Central Park" designed by renowned firm Enzo Enea. The space will feature outdoor tea gardens, a croquet lawn, bocce court and yoga lawn. Additionally, the two towers will receive access to Fisher Island's coveted amenities including their pristine golf course, aviary, tennis courts and so much more.

Hyde Midtown Suites & Residences 

The hot new residences located in Miami's bustling Midtown neighborhood boast a handful of amenities for residences, including the luxe "hotel living" where residences can access the hotel pool, room service, spa services and more. However, one of our favorite outdoor amenities is the property's outdoor putting green located on the property's 7th-floor amenity deck.

SLS LUX Brickell

The newly-opened, ultra luxurious SLS LUX Brickell located in downtown Miami offers everything a Miami buyer could want—gorgeous interior design, stunning views of the Miami cityscape, haute cuisine, hotel living and more. They also offer an outdoor climbing wall on its 9th-floor pool area—something you won't find in many other places in Miami.

Auberge Beach Residences & Spa Fort Lauderdale 

The luxurious Fort Lauderdale property will officially open this fall. With a focus on its state-of-the-art spa services, the property is also offering this amenity outdoors with their two outdoor spa treatment cabanas so you can relax and unwind to the sounds of the calming ocean waves.

The post 6 South Florida Residences Boasting Unique Outdoor Amenities appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

The branded building seems to have found  a home in sunny South Florida, where five are set to open by 2021 according to Mansion Global. With a large international populous, familiar with iconic names in fashion and cars, the trade off for developers looking to sell quick, is an astute one. In New York, where there seems to be an ongoing demand for high-end real estate, luxury brands veer toward hotels rather than residential property (Restoration Hardware, West Elm, Equinox, Shinola). In London, however, the 50-storey “Versace Tower” (real name: Aykon London One)  is Britain’s first branded fashion high rise, located in the Nine Elms regeneration zone. It’s pretty swanky with the “V” for Versace Home in marble patterns inlaid into the walnut floors. The high priced tower is due to be completed in 2020. Over half of its units have been pre-sold.

Elsewhere, luxury branded residences have been well established. Dubai opened its Armani hotel in 2010, while the same company’s eco-friendly complex with Smart Hero Group in Beijing was completed in 2017. The diversifying Italian fashion house also plans to craft interiors at Century Spire in Manilla, Philippines. Fendi partnered with DAMAC Properties, creating the interiors of Dubai’s DAMAC Residenze, which also opened last year.

What a developer receives for the privilege of stamping an iconic brand’s name all over their property is instant credibility and name recognition. International buyers purchased $7.1 billion of South Florida residential properties in 2017 according to the Miami Association of Realtors — a 35 percent slice, up 41.4 percent increase from the year before. So, in a strange land a familiar name goes a long way in assuring investors their money is safe.

“Miami is more of a flashier type of city, than other areas like New York or Chicago that are a little more conservative,”  said Jon Paul Perez, vice president of Related Group, one of the developers behind Residences by Armani/Casa, set to open in the city in 2019.

Where branding is concerned, one South Florida property has been creating headlines for a while — The Porsche Design Tower. A collaboration between Dezer Development and Porsche Design Group, the building comes with a high powered automobile elevator transporting drivers and their rides from street level to their apartments. Don’t expect to see any low-end rust buckets chugging into the building.

Other famous car companies have got up to speed on trading wheels for steel frames. Britain’s Aston Martin, famous for ejecting 007’s villains into the sky, has teamed up with Argentinian developer G&G Business Developments for their own Miami-based tower, which is expected to be finished by 2021. Signature amenity touches, like the hand-stitched leather door tabs—sourced from a Scottish village—and  the carbon fiber lobby furniture — ensure that the famous car company isn’t there in name only.

The numbers for each deal differ. Typically the developer will pay the brand a percentage of sales, usually 2 percent to 5 percent explained Edgardo Defortuna, the president and CEO of Fortune International Group.

Many of the buyers don’t live in Miami or even the US on a full-time basis and are simply looking for a place to park their cash.

“We’d seen the Armani building in Dubai and were convinced” said Robert Thorne, CEO and founder of Miami-based The Wellness Habitat Co, who purchased a two-bedroom unit on the 25th floor at Resdiences by Armani/Casa two years ago for $1.4 million. “We knew our investment was going to be secure.”

Located directly across from Biscayne Bay, the development—which will house 298 units within three residential towers—will stand at a site that has long been that of Coconut Grove Bank's headquarters, a 5.2 acre property purchased by the duo for $55 million. The project will unfold in three phases, with the current Coconut Grove Bank remaining open during the first phase of construction.

“Always a haven for artists, writers and other creative souls, the Grove retains a character found nowhere else. More relaxed than Brickell, more family-oriented than Miami Beach, the charms of this dynamic community are undergoing a renaissance,” said Jorge Pérez, founder of The Related Group. "[Park Grove] will offer a lifestyle that’s perfect for people who appreciate the tropical urban setting."

“Miami continues to blossom into one of the greatest global cities of our time,” said David Martin, president and co-founder of Terra Group. “Our vision for Coconut Grove is to preserve its history and natural landscapes while introducing the caliber of design talent the rest of Miami has been experiencing for years.”

In order to ensure that the masterpiece's overall concept reflects the neighborhood's organic beauty and relaxed sophistication, the partners charged four distinguished architects to partake in a riveting contest. Ultimately, Rem Koolhaas took home the gold, beating out competitors Jean Nouvel, Christian de Portzamparc, and Diller Scofidio & Renfro. The project will showcase 2,500- to 3,500-square-foot residences, whose will be styled by interior designer William Sofield.

The plans also showcase a two-acre sculpture park designed by Enea Landscape Architecture, a three-story bank and fitness center, four two-story smaller structures meant to house a plethora of recreational amenities, and a two-story office building. 730 parking spaces will also be made available.

The grand development is expected to fully take shape by the end of 2016.

The post The Related Group and Terra Group Present ‘Park Grove,’ a One-of-a-Kind Residential by the Bay appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

The condominium developer—the largest in the nation—is thrilled to present Paraiso Bay, a luxurious residential comprised of twin 53-story towers, tucked between Biscayne Boulevard and the Bay at NE 31st Street.

Conceptualized by Arquitectonica, the posh address will offer a resort-like, paradisiacal lifestyle with its seemingly infinite list of onsite amenities, which includes a luxury spa, a tennis center, a one-acre waterfront park, a wine cellar, a state-of-the-art fitness hub, a screening room, a private marina, a clubroom with billiards, and a cigar lounge with private humidors.

The property's exquisite landscaping will reportedly be imagined by Swiss designer Enzo Enea. Additionally, the development's Bayfront Beach Club will also offer an exclusive sand-beach area with a private pool for serious sunbathers, along with a lounge ideal for private events.

Styled by London-based firm United Designs, the building's residences—which shall range from one- to four-bedroom units—will all showcase open-concept, flow-thru floor plans; floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking beach and bay views; wide private terraces; sizable his and hers closets; and private elevator access and entry foyers.

Their gourmet kitchens will each be equipped with European custom cabinetry, as well as Bosch and SubZero appliances, while their plush baths will boast imported stone vanity tops and porcelain flooring, spacious soaking tubs, and double vessel bowl lavatories.

Though the project's ground has only recently been broken, the ambitious undertaking has already attracted a number of notables hoping to purchase one of its elegant residences, including DJ and music producer David Guetta, NBA star Manu Ginobili, and Spanish tennis legend Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario.

The building will also be surrounded by landscape art by Enzo Enea. At its peak, the structure will boast a rooftop pool enveloped by a lush garden overlooking panoramic views of the bay and ocean, along with several massage cabanas and a poolside dining space.

Marea recently unveiled the gorgeous interiors of its four penthouse jewels, styled by Brazilian interior designer Joao Armentano.

Residences by Armani/Casa

The 60-story waterfront tower—located at 18975 Collins Drive, Sunny Isles Beach, just north of Bal Harbour—will house 260 luxury residences designed to reflect Giorgio Armani's aesthetic sensibility, as well as his signature sense of comfort and functionality.

"Armani/Casa was born from my desire to see my design aesthetic at work in interior spaces," says Giorgio Armani, president and CEO of the Armani Group. "On a project like this—where we have the benefit of partnering with a talented architect like César Pelli—we get the opportunity to create something really very special: a remarkable living space, imbued with the spirit of modern elegance."

Residences by Armani/Casa

"We are thrilled to partner with such a talented individual as Giorgio Armani in the further expansion of his brand into the residential real estate arena," says Gil Dezer, president of Dezer Development. "The tower will be representative of the Armani lifestyle; it will possess distinctive luxury and unrivaled elegance."

Scheduled to be completed in 2016, the project melds well with Armani/Casa's existing luxury developments around the world, including Maçka Residences in Istanbul, the World Towers in Mumbai, and Century Spire in Manila.
