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.

St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands is called the “Big Island” as it is the largest of the US Virgin Islands and surrounded by the Caribbean Sea. It’s the least developed, adding to its natural beauty, which is a draw for all visitors and buyers looking to invest in the Caribbean. The terrain varies between flat and hilly, with the highest peak, Mt. Eagle, at 1,088 feet above sea level.

St. Croix has become the hottest, new destination in the Caribbean and continues to attract people from all over the world. The unspoiled land of St. Croix includes rainforests, world-class dive spots, untouched and unmarked beach coves, and historical artifacts and architecture dating back to the 1700s. St. Croix has truly a vibe like no other, with a vibrant and rich culture, two historic towns oozing with charm, an incredible art and epicurean scene, and boutique hotels. Known as the countryside of the Caribbean due to its open pastures and farmland, most of St. Croix has stayed true to its roots giving visitors and Crucians an authentic Caribbean experience.

Our luxury real estate market includes everything from impeccably maintained historic estates, modern seaside villas, elegant condos in a gated seaside complex to knoll top estates with a backdrop of the Caribbean sea in every direction. Compared to our sister islands, St. Thomas and St. John, there is more value on St. Croix in the luxury real estate market. A comparable home of quality and size on the other islands is much higher priced than a similar property here on St. Croix— we are the largest of the Virgin Islands so that makes it easier for us to live here and get around well since we are less congested.

When considering a permanent move or a vacation home to escape the cold northern winters, St. Croix is the ideal Caribbean island to call home!

“My career in real estate began because I had a bad service experience with a realtor, so to this day I make sure to go above and beyond for my clients.”

Living - and loving - the Miami lifestyle with her family, Renata Galembeck Rohr has a passion for sharing the marvels of Miami with individuals, families, and businesses. Since 2007, Renata has been a licensed Realtor Associate working with clients from Fortune 500 and international firms in industries such as Food & Beverage, Retail, Legal, Real Estate, Chemical, and Manufacturing. She is currently selling luxury residential properties in South Florida as the Miami skyline constantly changes with its latest projects.

Recently, Renata talked with Haute Residence about her career, the effects of covid, and why Miami (and Florida in general) is the best market in the country.

How did you get your start in the business?

Prior to moving to Miami, I used to assist in orthopedic surgeries in California, but when I moved I knew that I didn't want to be in the surgery room all day, there is so much to do outdoors that I figured I would change professions. I had a bad experience with a Realtor, so I decided to get my Real Estate license, which I did within a couple of months, and I placed my license with Swire Realty, a sister company of Swire property, developers of Brickell Key and Brickell City Center.

I was a Realtor for Swire from 2007 until 2019, doing resale and pre-construction all over South Florida.  I took over my Landlord’s place and sold it in a few weeks, and haven’t stopped since!

Why did you choose to work under Douglas Elliman?

In 2019, Swire decided to close the Realty office. I literally interviewed with every company that does business in Miami and Douglas Elliman provided everything that I needed. They cover NY, California, Colorado, Texas, Connecticut, Massachusetts, they also have an international partner Knight Frank, and Florida offices from Palm Beach all the way to Miami. They keep me highly engaged by providing an amazing platform that encompasses the latest technology, marketing, and training. They checked all the boxes for me, I would say that they are the best in the business.

Should someone be their own broker or what advantages are there to working under a larger brokerage?

At the end of the day, everyone chooses their own path. For me, working under a reputable brokerage means that you fit their high standards and work ethics. The Real Estate Market is ever-evolving and a larger brokerage brings a level of competitiveness that would be hard to emulate by being your own broker.

What sets you apart from other real estate agents?

I always take into consideration the human perspective of the transaction. I put my clients first. I see that a lot of agents have become desensitized with the responsibilities that we have. To me it is all about building a long-lasting relationship, it takes a lot of trust and knowledge to be able to do that.

How have you seen Covid affect the market?

Covid brought a lot of Covid driven buyers to South Florida. The main reasons were the weather, lifestyle, and COVID policies compared to the states that buyers were relocating from. The inventory for single homes quickly disappeared, and the remaining condos quickly followed behind. Rental prices have risen significantly, making buying a property a lot more desirable to the ones that could afford it.

Markets are holding steady for the moment with the opening of our international borders and a flurry of international buyers, we have yet to see what is to be expected in the next few months for the South Florida Real Estate Market.

What advice do you have for those looking to go into the real estate market?

In my opinion, the best is to gauge which side of the market you fit in, if you are an investor or want to downsize you can definitely sell your property and reap the benefits. The same goes if you are moving from a state where properties are much more expensive than South Florida, then you should buy.

On the other hand, if you don't need to move and could wait and see, I believe that markets will stabilize in the long run bringing lots of new inventory for clients to choose from.

South Florida will always be a wonderful place to invest and live no matter where the Real estate market trends take us because we have a lot more to offer than just the property itself, we have amazing weather year-round, a desirable lifestyle for families and single people, and one of the best tax benefits in the country.

I am certain this project will appeal to a broad range of buyers and am excited to be representing it."
