Developers of The St. Regis Residences, Sunny Isles Beach, Miami, Complete Landmark Foundation Pour As South Tower Prepares To Go Vertical

Fortune International Group and Château Group, developers of The St. Regis Residences, Sunny Isles Beach, Miami, have reached a significant construction milestone with the South Tower’s mat foundation pour, advancing the ultra-luxury oceanfront development at 18801 Collins Avenue into its next phase. The positive collaboration with Coastal Construction is one of several over the years between the development team and the acclaimed General Contractor.

Over a continuous three-day operation, the pour involved approximately 10,000 cubic yards of concrete, creating the structural foundation for the 170-residence South Tower – one of two 62-story towers that will each rise 750 feet above the Atlantic Ocean. With the foundation now in place, the South Tower will transition to vertical construction this year, while preparations continue for the project’s second and final phase: the 150-residence North Tower, which is scheduled to break ground in early Q4.

By the Numbers:

• 10,000 cubic yards of concrete for the South Tower mat foundation, poured continuously over three days (July 24 - 26)

• Approximately 4 million pounds of reinforcing steel (rebar)

• 1,100 concrete truck deliveries

• 500 construction workers involved in the three-day operation

• 6 boom pumps working simultaneously for more than 30 hours

• 150-foot by 135-foot mat foundation footprint

• 13-foot-thick reinforced concrete mat foundation

• 435 linear feet of direct Atlantic Ocean frontage – the longest stretch of ocean frontage of any luxury residential development currently under construction in South Florida

“Every major project reaches a point where years of planning, engineering and construction begin to take visible shape,” said Edgardo Defortuna, CEO of Fortune International Group. “Completing the foundation is one of those moments. It represents an extraordinary amount of work below the surface and marks the beginning of the next chapter as the South Tower starts to rise."

“For our residents, this milestone is especially meaningful because they will now begin to see the building emerge,” said Manuel Grosskopf, CEO of Château Group. “Construction is entering a highly visible phase, and we’re excited to see the vision continue taking shape as we move toward delivery. Each step brings us closer to delivering not just a building, but a home our residents will be proud of for generations.”

“South Florida continues to see tremendous demand for luxury waterfront residences, and we’re honored that developers continue to trust Coastal Construction with some of the region’s most complex projects,” said Tom Murphy, Coastal Construction Co-CEO.

Designed by Arquitectonica, The St. Regis Residences, Sunny Isles Beach, Miami will feature 435 linear feet of Atlantic Ocean frontage. Residents will enjoy more than 70,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor amenities, including two public-facing restaurants, a full-floor private spa, indoor and outdoor pools, a fitness and wellness center, a private residents’ club, children’s programming, and the signature St. Regis Butler Service.

Conceived as a private oceanfront residential resort, the development combines the hallmark hospitality of the St. Regis brand with an expansive amenity program designed for everyday living. The South Tower remains on track and on pace, hitting every major construction benchmark as the project moves steadily toward vertical construction and, ultimately, delivery.

Remaining residences start at approximately $5 million.

Construction On Dezer Development's Bentley Residences Miami Passes Level 7 in Sunny Isles Beach

Vertical construction is advancing at Bentley Residences Miami, the world’s first and only Bentley-branded residential tower, developed by Dezer Development, in collaboration with Bentley Motors. Located at 18401 Collins Avenue in Sunny Isles Beach, the development has now reached level 7 and continues to rise rapidly, progressing at a pace of approximately one floor every five to six working days. On track for completion in 2028, the 716-foot tower will rank among the tallest oceanfront buildings in the country and will feature 216 residences with amenities including the patented Dezervator car elevator, in-home sky garages, and an exclusive resident-only restaurant led by four-time James Beard award-winning celebrity chef Todd English.

Vertical construction at Bentley Residences also follows the project’s foundation pour led by Coastal Construction, which set the record for the largest residential construction pour in Florida and the second-largest foundation pour in the nation. The achievement underscored the scale and complexity of the development and paved the way for the 62-story tower’s ascent.

“Going vertical is a meaningful milestone for Bentley Residences Miami and a testament to the strength of our vision and execution,” said Gil Dezer, President of Dezer Development. “As the tower rises, we look forward to delivering a truly one-of-a-kind residential experience that reflects the innovation and craftsmanship synonymous with the Bentley brand, while further elevating Sunny Isles Beach as a premier global destination for luxury living.”

Designed by Sieger Suarez Architects in collaboration with Bentley Motors, Bentley Residences offers a luxury lifestyle tailored for the auto-lover and defined by expansive waterfront living, refined craftsmanship, and seamless indoor-outdoor design. Residences tout open-concept floorplans, floor-to-ceiling windows, and private terraces with summer kitchens, with unique features including outdoor showers, private pools on every balcony, and glass-ensconced private sky garages accessible by the building’s signature Dezervator. This patented automobile elevator seamlessly transports residents and their vehicles directly into the in-unit sky garages, redefining privacy and convenience.

Currently available at Bentley Residences are three-bedroom floor plans reflecting Bentley’s hallmark craftsmanship. Anchored by Bentley’s hallmark precision and attention to detail, kitchens are outfitted with state-of-the-art Miele appliances and Italian-designed cabinetry, each offering views directly into the three- to four-car in-home sky garages. Primary bathrooms feature spa-like finishes with soaking tubs, custom vanities, and private sauna rooms. Available inventory begins at $5.8M.

The collection of amenities at Bentley Residences elevates the branded living experience. Four time James Beard Award-winning chef Todd English will debut Proper English by Todd English, his first residents-only restaurant, offering breakfast, lunch, dinner, and in-residence dining from an oceanfront setting within the condo tower. Residents will also have intimate access to English via private events and exclusive cooking demonstrations. The restaurant will be complemented by 20,000 square feet of resort-style spaces that reflect Bentley’s commitment to sophistication and refined comfort. Residents will enjoy exclusive access to a five-star pet spa, whiskey bar, cigar lounge, cinema, spa, oceanfront beauty salon, and state-of-the-art fitness center, along with a lushly landscaped beach club and pool deck with cabanas and food and beverage service. Through a longstanding collaboration with Luxury Living Group, Bentley Home will also provide exclusive, custom furnishing concepts inspired by the brand’s signature automotive design.

Developers of The St Regis Residences, Sunny Isles Beach, Miami, Secure $113.75 Million Development Loan With City National Bank For North Tower

Fortune International Group and Château Group, developers of The St. Regis Residences, Sunny Isles Beach, Miami, have announced the closing of a $113.75 million land loan for the North Tower with City National Bank of Florida.

The financing, arranged through Berkadia Miami, will support the project’s next phase, with the North Tower slated to break ground this summer as construction of the nearly sold-out South Tower progresses. The transaction underscores continued institutional confidence in the branded oceanfront development and its position within South Florida’s super-prime residential market.

“Today’s achievement represents another important step forward in the continued execution of our vision for The St. Regis Residences, Sunny Isles Beach, Miami” said Edgardo Defortuna, CEO of Fortune International Group. “We’ve seen strong alignment from both buyers and capital partners, and this milestone continues to propel the project into its next phase.”

“Momentum across the development has been consistent from the outset,” said Manuel Grosskopf, CEO of Château Group. “With the South Tower nearing sell-out and construction well underway, the North Tower builds on that foundation as we continue to deliver a project that resonates with today’s ultra-luxury buyer.”

“Our work with Fortune International Group spans many years, and this transaction brings together that history and our relationship with the Grosskopfs of Château Group,” said Jorge Gonzalez, Vice Chairman and CEO of City National Bank. “We appreciate the alignment and professionalism both organizations bring to projects of this nature.”

“We welcome the opportunity to begin working with Château Group through this financing,” said Christian Sundblad, Executive Vice President and Chief Wholesale Officer of City National Bank. “Their perspective and alignment with this project give us optimism as we establish a new relationship.”

Berkadia Miami Managing Director Scott Wadler and Director Michael Basinski, along with Senior Managing Director Mitch Sinberg and Managing Directors Matt Robbins and Brad Williamson, arranged the loan.

“Sunny Isles Beach has emerged as one of the most coveted addresses in the world, and the Sponsors have long understood this market's trajectory having acquired the site more than a decade ago,” said Wadler. “In today's capital markets environment, pre-development financing for a site and tower of this scale requires a sponsor team with an impeccable track record and the credibility to inspire lender confidence. Fortune International and Château Group bring both.”

Together, the two-tower enclave represents one of the most significant new residential offerings along Sunny Isles Beach, featuring approximately 435 linear feet of direct Atlantic frontage – the most of any residential enclave currently rising in the region – and more than 70,000 square feet of integrated amenities, including two signature restaurants, a full-service spa, resort-style pools, and a comprehensive wellness and lifestyle program.

The South Tower, scheduled for completion in 2028, comprises 170 residences, while the North Tower includes 150. Designed by Arquitectonica and built under the supervision of Coastal Construction, the development pairs a bold architectural profile with a hospitality-driven residential model anchored by St. Regis.

Remaining residences are priced from approximately $5 million. The on-site oceanside sales gallery is located at 18801 Collins Avenue, Sunny Isles Beach.

Fortune International Group and Château Group Reveal Full-Floor Oceanfront Spa for Residents at The St. Regis Residences, Sunny Isles Beach, Miami

Fortune International Group and Château Group, the award-winning joint developers of The St. Regis Residences, Sunny Isles Beach, Miami - have revealed a first look at the full-floor oceanfront spa; a signature wellness space, designed solely for residents and crafted to cater to the exacting standards of the global ultra-high-end buyer.

The spa occupies the entire fifth floor within the property’s 70,000-square-foot amenity suite – conceived as a sanctuary where owners can fully reset and recharge. Overlooking the Atlantic, the venue blends Mediterranean-inspired materials, including travertine, marble, and brushed bronze accents, with lush, tropical plantings – including olive trees – that bring nature indoors while offering complete privacy.

The unveiling comes as Miami further establishes itself as a global wellness destination, with increasing focus on longevity and holistic living – an evolution reflected in residential design along the coastline, led in part by Sunny Isles Beach.

“This spa represents the pinnacle of experiential design in a residential context,” said Ana Cristina Defortuna, Executive Vice President of Fortune International Group and one of the project’s lead visionaries. “I’ve been fortunate to experience some of the world’s most exceptional spas, and what has stayed with me is how differently each culture approaches wellness. Bringing those perspectives together allowed us to curate a space that reflects the very best of global wellness, thoughtfully adapted for life in Sunny Isles Beach. Today, the most sophisticated spas are no longer just about relaxation – they are centered around longevity, restoration, and overall quality of life. In a world that moves so quickly, it was essential to make this spa a meaningful part of everyday living, not just an occasional indulgence.”

“We approached the design of the spa as something truly timeless, informed by the legacy of the St. Regis brand and the oceanfront setting of this special venue,” said Patricia Anastassiadis, revered São Paulo-based interior architect and founder of Anastassiadis. “From the very first step inside, the intention was to let the outside world gently fall away. We imagined arrival not as an entrance, but as a quiet exhale – a moment where the senses soften and time begins to slow. Inspired in part by the enduring, stone-forward tranquility of Roman baths, the space is expressed through softened forms, luminous materials, and a palette drawn from sand, stone, and sea. Light moves through the space like the ocean itself, creating an atmosphere that feels both serene and quietly theatrical. Above all, we wanted to create a sense of effortless escape – where Miami’s energy is not silenced, but gently refined into something elevated, intimate, and enduring.”

Both Edgardo Defortuna, CEO of Fortune International Group, and Manuel Grosskopf, CEO of Château Group, were hands-on in overseeing the spa’s design, ensuring that every feature met the expectations of a property of this scale, quality, and exclusivity. Spanning 10,000 square feet, the spa includes treatment rooms for facials and massages, a cold plunge and hot tub, infrared sauna, aromatherapy steam room, relaxation lounges, and a massive terrace overlooking the ocean, as well as premium products from French Secrets De Sothys and Davines. Uniquely, it also offers a full-service salon, barber shop, and nail studio, while a small retail area and champagne-and-tea celebration bar complete the resident experience, allowing every indulgence and personal ritual to be effortlessly attended to within the serene setting.

“I’m very hands-on, and so is our entire team – we collaborate constantly, pushing every detail to its highest level,” continued Ana Cristina Defortuna. “From the moment you step into the spa, our goal is to engage all five senses. Every element – from organic materials and layered lighting to scent and sound – has been intentionally curated to create an experience that is both refined and deeply restorative.”

Designed by Arquitectonica, with interiors by Anastassiadis and landscape architecture by EDSA, The Residences occupy a jaw-dropping 435 linear feet of beachfront – the most oceanfront access of any luxury residential community currently under construction in South Florida. Every element has been conceived to maximize privacy, light, and panoramic Atlantic vistas, creating a seamless connection to the ocean from every vantage point.

The South Tower – now nearing sell-out across its 170 residences – remains on track for completion in late 2028. The North Tower, comprising 150 residences, is slated to break ground this summer and continues to attract strong interest from global buyers, evidenced by a string of top sales over the past three months. Together, the towers are projected to achieve more than $3 billion in total sales, reflecting sustained demand for ultra-luxury, oceanfront residences.

Beyond the spa, the development offers a range of features designed to complement wellbeing and recreation, further reinforcing its position within a market increasingly defined by wellness-forward living. Owners benefit from dedicated butler services and a 24-hour concierge team, ensuring seamless, resort-style access to nearly every comfort and convenience. Standout offerings also include a chic oceanfront fitness center with separate studios for spinning, yoga, and Pilates, three oceanfront pools, and a sixth-floor infinity-edge-style pool facing the Intracoastal – the longest pool of its kind in South Florida.

Complementing this amenity-driven positioning, the developers also announced an official registration in New York earlier this year, expanding direct engagement with brokers and buyers in a key market for the project. Remaining residences start at $5 million, offering an extraordinary chance to join a private, oceanfront enclave defined by architectural distinction, resort-level service, and unmatched amenities.

The on-site oceanside sales gallery is located at 18801 Collins Avenue, Sunny Isles Beach.
