Witkoff Group, a Miami-based development and investment firm, and Monroe Capital, a premier asset management firm, have closed on a $430 million construction loan for Shore Club Private Collection, which is on track to be one of the fastest-selling luxury developments in Miami Beach’s history. Financed by J.P. Morgan, the loan is believed to be the largest for a residential construction project in South Florida. With two-thirds of inventory sold and sales already surpassing $550 million since its late January launch, Shore Club is readying to begin construction later this year for an expected completion in 2026.
“This record-breaking loan underscores the tremendous confidence the market has in Shore Club Private Collection,” said Alex Witkoff, Co-Chief Executive Officer of Witkoff Group. “The project has been leading luxury condominium sales in Miami since its launch, and we are setting a new standard in Miami Beach with prices per square foot consistently over $5,000 and the average home selling for more than $20 million. We’re thrilled to have reached these legendary milestones with such a prestigious investment partner as J.P. Morgan.”

Building on the rich history of Miami Beach’s Art Deco and modernism design style, while also fostering a seamless connection to its iconic location, Shore Club Private Collection will be home to 49 residences designed by award-winning New York-based firm, Robert A.M. Stern Architects. The architect is behind some of New York City’s most successful buildings, including 220 Central Park South and its predecessor, 15 Central Park West. Shore Club will be set on three oceanfront acres with lush botanical gardens curated by renowned landscape architect Nathan Browning of Island Planning Corporation.
The development is the first residential oceanfront project designed inside and out by Robert A.M. Stern and includes a ground-up new building, The Tower, a newly reimagined Art Deco building originally completed in 1939, The Cromwell House, and The Beach House, a signature single-family beach house. Each component relates architecturally yet is artistically distinctive, envisioned to maximize vistas and light with the curvature of each home to deliver a product that does not yet exist in the Miami market. The interiors further this vision, taking inspiration from yacht design and the patterns and movement of the ocean waves and sand on Miami’s coastline. RAMSA collaborated with Miami-based Kobi Karp Architecture & Interior Design on the architecture.
Rising 20 stories, the Tower features two- to six-bedroom residences ranging from 1,900 to more than 10,000 square feet with beautifully curved balconies, over 10-foot ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows homes. Complete with private and semi-private elevators and private balconies, the Tower offers cinematic views of the Atlantic Ocean and sunsets. The eight-story historic Cromwell House will be preserved and reinvented as four premier residences, including three duplex residences and a penthouse. These homes will be four and five bedrooms featuring two-story great rooms with dramatic double-height ceilings, and the expansive full-floor penthouse. Finally, the Beach House will be the only private home on the oceanfront of Miami Beach and will span 6,000 square feet with three outdoor spaces totaling over 2,180 square feet.

The reinvention of the Shore Club Private Collection is a united vision in partnership with Auberge Resorts Collection. The residences will be serviced by Auberge but will offer privacy and seclusion within the five star resort. The collection of amenities and services exclusive to residents include a discreet porte cochere entrance, three separate swimming pools including a private residential pool, 75-foot lap pool and a leisure pool, state-of-the-art fitness center, library, lounge and other amenities. Auberge Resorts Collection’s one-of-a-kind reputation for intimate tailored service will also extend to the residences with numerous in-home offerings, as well as access to Auberge’s world-class spa, concierge services, housekeeping, beach club and culinary experiences, including in-residence dining, house sommelier services, a signature restaurant, poolside café and bar with dedicated cabana service, double-height café and bar leading to an outdoor lounge, and more.
Pricing at Shore Club Private Collection starts at approximately $6 million. Sales and marketing efforts for the project exclusively handled by Douglas Elliman Development Marketing.
