A penthouse at The Ritz-Carlton Residences, West Palm Beach has gone under contract after being listed for $16.95 million, setting a new benchmark as the highest-priced condominium sale ever recorded on North Flagler Drive by both total sales price and price per square foot.

The contract marks another milestone for the waterfront luxury development by Related Group and BH Group, underscoring continued demand for branded ultra-luxury residences in West Palm Beach as construction progresses toward its anticipated 2028 completion.

Related Group and BH Group Break Ground on Icon Beach Waterfront Residences in Hollywood

Hollywood's rise as one of South Florida's most coveted coastal destinations takes a defining step forward today with the official groundbreaking of Icon Beach Waterfront Residences. Developed by Related Group and BH Group, the 38-story, 350-residence tower rises above a shoreline perfectly situated between Miami and Fort Lauderdale, delivering a rare dual-water lifestyle anchored by a private 32-slip marina and resident-exclusive beach club.

Hollywood's rise as one of South Florida's most coveted coastal destinations takes a defining step forward today with the official groundbreaking of Icon Beach Waterfront Residences. Developed by Related Group and BH Group, the 38-story, 350-residence tower rises above a shoreline perfectly situated between Miami and Fort Lauderdale, delivering a rare dual-water lifestyle anchored by a private 32-slip marina and resident-exclusive beach club at a price point that remains among the most compelling on South Florida's coastline.

The groundbreaking follows the recent closing of a $360 million construction loan from Tyko Capital, underscoring institutional confidence in both the Hollywood market and the development team behind it. With completion anticipated in 2028, the vision is rapidly coming to fruition.

“For years, Hollywood existed in the shadow of South Florida's more established coastal destinations. Not anymore,” said Nick Pérez, President of Related Group's Condominium Division. “The city is experiencing a remarkable transformation, and what we're building here is a direct reflection of that momentum. Today, we’ve started work on a destination where exceptional design, resort-inspired amenities and an unparalleled waterfront lifestyle come together for buyers who expect the very best and see Hollywood as the place to find it."

Positioned between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway, Icon Beach places residents at the center of South Florida's most extraordinary natural assets. With panoramic views stretching from sunrise over the ocean to sunset across the Intracoastal, the tower is crafted to celebrate water at every turn.

Envisioned by Cohen Freedman Encinosa & Associates with interiors by the award-winning Meyer Davis and landscape architecture by Witkin Hults + Partners, the development offers one- to three-bedroom residences spanning 948 to 2,580 square feet along one of South Florida's most sought-after stretches of coastline. Open-concept floor plans, floor-to-ceiling glass and oversized sliding doors open onto generous private terraces where the horizon stretches in every direction.

Primary suites offer a serene counterpoint, with spacious walk-in closets, spa-style bathrooms and soaking tubs appointed with fixtures from Kohler and Hansgrohe that transform everyday routines into something worth savoring. Kitchens are outfitted for both form and function with custom Italian cabinetry, large center islands and imported porcelain countertops in two curated finishes, paired with a premium suite of Bosch and Thermador appliances that bring a chef-inspired sensibility to every meal.

"What makes Icon Beach special isn't just its location, but how deeply the building is connected to the water around it," said Isaac Toledano, Founder of BH Group. "That philosophy extends from the residences themselves to the private marina, the exclusive beach club and the resort-style amenities designed around life on the water. The intention behind every detail is felt from every angle and there is simply nothing else in the market that comes close."

At Icon Beach, 40,000 square feet of amenity space unfolds around a single organizing principle: life is better on the water. The sparkling resort-style pool with sun shelf serves as the social heart of the property, flanked by stylish private cabanas and a tranquil spa and wellness center complete with cold plunge, steam room and Jacuzzi. A state-of-the-art 3,000-square-foot health club, equipped with advanced cardio and weight training equipment and dedicated yoga rooms, ensures that wellness is never more than an elevator ride away.

Beyond the pool deck, an outdoor cinema, sunset yoga lawn, summer kitchens and a reservable event space overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway create a setting that shifts effortlessly from a quiet morning to an evening among friends. A residents' gathering lounge and alfresco cocktail bar round out an amenity program conceived for every hour of the day.

Access to a private marina and a full-service beach club extend the Icon Beach lifestyle to the open ocean and Hollywood's beautiful shoreline. A dedicated concierge, 24-hour front desk, valet and security team ensure that every arrival feels like a welcome, and every request is met without hesitation. Select works from the world-renowned Jorge M. Pérez Contemporary Art Collection are woven throughout the common areas, lending Icon Beach a cultural depth that runs as deep as its design.

Icon Beach arrives at a pivotal moment for Hollywood, which recently celebrated its centennial anniversary – a milestone that reflects its remarkable evolution from a quiet beachfront retreat into one of the most sought-after waterfront destinations in South Florida. The Diplomat Beach Resort, long a cornerstone of the city's hospitality identity, recently reopened after a transformation and rebranding as Signia by Hilton, signaling the caliber of investment now flowing into the market. The Broward County Convention Center continues to drive consistent business activity, while ongoing development along the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk and a wave of acclaimed restaurants moving north from Miami are reshaping the city's culinary and cultural landscape. Sophisticated buyers are increasingly drawn to Hollywood's rare combination of natural beauty and urban convenience, and Icon Beach is where that demand finds its answer.

Thoughtfully crafted by Arquitectonica with interiors by Rockwell Group and landscaping by Naturalficial, each of the 138 residences are intentionally oriented eastward to frame sweeping coastal views and vivid turquoise waters from every home – offering an uninterrupted connection to West Palm Beach’s waterfront lifestyle.

The two- to four-bedroom homes, ranging from 1,500 to over 3,000 square feet, are crafted to maximize light and air, with open layouts and floor-to-ceiling windows that extend effortlessly to expansive private balconies. The Chef-inspired kitchens are appointed with custom Italian cabinetry and top-of-the-line Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances while bathrooms showcase bespoke Hansgrohe fixtures. Each residence includes dedicated elevator access, an entry foyer, pre-wired smart home technology and keyless entry.

“Our goal was to create interiors that embrace the energy and beauty of life on the water,” said David Rockwell, Founder and President of Rockwell Group. “The eastern orientation shapes every detail, filling each space with natural light and horizon views. Floorplans flow seamlessly for both entertaining and everyday living, while materials, textures and finishes have been carefully chosen to balance elegance and functionality, making every residence as inviting as it is spectacular.”

True to The Ritz-Carlton’s legacy of exceptional hospitality, the Residences offer a refined collection of amenities and services curated to support comfort, connection and complete well-being. Managed by dedicated Ritz-Carlton staff, the experience begins with a dramatic bayfront pool deck featuring private cabanas, summer kitchens and poolside dining. Just beyond, a state-of-the-art fitness and wellness center offers the latest cardio and resistance training equipment, along with a world-class spa, private treatment rooms and his-and-hers steam and sauna facilities.

Residents will also enjoy an array of thoughtfully designed spaces for work, play and everyday living. Private conference and coworking areas offer seamless productivity. A dedicated children’s room and a gaming lounge with a cutting-edge golf simulator bring joy to all ages. Expansive outdoor terraces, multiple entertainment lounges and two fully appointed guest suites complete the amenity package, allowing for effortless hosting and leisure.

Throughout the property, a curated selection of museum-quality artwork from the Jorge M. Pérez Contemporary Art Collection enriches the residential experience. Residents also receive complimentary membership to the exclusive Cove Club, West Palm Beach’s premier waterside retreat offering dining, wellness and social programming.

Signature Ritz-Carlton concierge services complete the offering. From valet parking and 24-hour in-residence deliveries to personal arrangements for dining, travel, beauty and pet care, every detail is handled with warmth, discretion and precision.

Rosewood Hotels & Resorts® in partnership with industry leaders Related Group and Dezer Development, has revealed Rosewood Residences Hillsboro Beach, a boutique condominium set to bring a new standard for residential offerings to the affluent Hillsboro Beach’s “Millionaire’s Mile”. Offering a coveted collection of only 92 ultra-luxury, waterfront condominium homes and villas, just two miles from both Boca Raton and Pompano Beach, the development will provide owners with unparalleled access to the region's most picturesque beaches, golf courses, and unspoiled natural surroundings. Combining this supreme setting with high-design and a broad assortment of resort-inspired amenities, Rosewood Residences Hillsboro Beach will usher in a next-generation residential experience that will delight longtime Floridians and snowbirds alike. Sales will commence this month with the project scheduled for completion in 2026.

Known as "Millionaire's Mile," the singular stretch of Florida coast that comprises the Hillsboro Beach neighborhood has drawn in affluent homeowners for decades. Its warm sands, glittering turquoise waters, and relaxed lifestyle contribute to an idyllic way of life that wraps seaside serenity in luxury.

"It is immensely rewarding to announce Rosewood Residences Hillsboro Beach as our latest standalone residential project in such a highly sought after community," said Brad Berry, Vice President of Global Residential Development at Rosewood Hotel Group. "Millionaire's Mile has a strong value proposition for buyers that allows for a certain level of escapism, bridging the foundations of a luxury resort with the comfort and familiarity of home. It is a unique parcel that allows for an undeniably elevated style of living, thereby a perfect fit for our growing brand footprint."

Rising ten stories above its pristine residential surroundings, Rosewood Residences Hillsboro Beach will give residents the chance to curate a personalized slice of paradise through the project's planned 92 residences and 11 private boat slips. With architecture helmed by Arquitectonica, an international firm known for bringing bold modernism to urban landscapes since 1977, and the acclaimed Dutch design firm Studio Piet Boon overseeing the interiors, the property has been crafted to stay true to Rosewood's guiding A Sense of Place™ philosophy.

Split between 70 beachfront residences and 22 coastal residences, all homes will highlight their enviable setting through a myriad of features. Both buildings have been designed to be reminiscent of a regal yacht, blending the indoors and outdoors with soft, curving terraces, ample natural light and sprawling exterior spaces. Inside, a soft color palette will envelop the units and shared spaces, all of which will showcase an interesting mix of textures including natural wood, limestone accents and biophilic elements. Living flora will be found throughout the buildings' walls and expand out from the garden spaces, establishing a cohesive connection to nature. Each unit will feature expansive living, dining and sleeping quarters, with many offering private garages and master walk-in closets.

"We are truly honored to partner with Rosewood and Related Group on this exciting project," said designer Piet Boon.

Six oceanfront and seven coastal penthouses will be available, each a secluded oasis carefully designed to provide the privacy and exclusivity of single family living. Each of these expansive homes will boast private rooftop pools and panoramic views of the glistening waters and the area's lush flora. Residences will range in size from 2,800 to 6,400 square feet, with the opportunity to combine units to create vast coastal retreats.

"We are proud to partner with a brand as respected as Rosewood as we continue our 40-plus-year tradition of pioneering the country's most desirable residential markets," said Jon Paul Perez, President of Related. "Hillsboro Mile has long been a haven for the country's elite. However, with our new development, we are upping the ante in a major way."

Known for a unique approach to residential development that centers on the concept of enriched living, an idea that the extraordinary can be found in the everyday, the Rosewood Residences brand will organize and oversee an extensive selection of resort-style amenities that prioritize ease, simplicity, and indulgence. The project's comprehensive light-filled wellness center will offer a private spa and salon; two state-of-the-art fitness centers featuring a yoga room; a sauna; tennis, paddle tennis and pickleball courts; and an on-site racquet court pro-shop.

Owners will also enjoy an exclusive oceanfront pool and outdoor spa area with sunbeds and cabanas, as well as direct access to a private stretch of beach equipped with lounge chairs, umbrellas, and food and beverage service.

Adding to the owner experience will be an array of elevated dining concepts helmed by a celebrated, soon-to-be-announced chef. These will include a private oceanfront restaurant, a convivial bar and grill, a stylish cocktail lounge, a sprawling café lounge with a daily breakfast bar, and a creamery.

Additional spaces and services planned for the property include luxury guest suites for visiting friends and family; a game room complete with high-tech virtual reality game simulators; a sunrise lounge perfect for entertaining and events; an intimate garden and meditation lounge areas with ocean views; a bocce court; two meeting rooms; a dog park; and a dramatic lobby complete with lounge space. The property will also feature a curated collection of museum-quality art hand selected by Related's world-renowned curatorial team.

"Rosewood Residences Hillsboro Beach features a prime location connecting the Intracoastal Waterway to some of the most beautiful beaches in South Florida," said Gil Dezer, President of Dezer Development. "Spanning nearly 12 acres of waterfront, this property, together with its pristine coastal dune and lush native landscaping, provides a rare canvas upon which this amazing development will be created. We are proud to partner with The Related Group to create an exceptional luxury residential experience."

While South Florida is no stranger to luxurious development, Rosewood Residences will offer buyers a new way to live and play, with a residential offering that channels the ease of resort living and high-touch service. With more than half of Rosewood's upcoming hotels and resorts featuring Rosewood Residences, the brand continues to take a thoughtful approach to development and evolution in the space, delivering high-end amenities and world-class service while providing buyers with access to some of the world's most sought-after locations.

Industry leaders Related Group (Related), Two Roads Development and Rockpoint have revealed Rivage Bal Harbour (Rivage), a rare condominium property located in one of South Florida’s most exclusive enclaves. Made up of only 61 sky villas, the oceanfront development boasts an all-star design team, with Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) and Rottet Studio leading architecture and interior designs, respectively. Douglas Elliman Development Marketing (DEDM) is the property’s exclusive sales partner; Pablo Alfaro will serve as sales director with Ruthie and Ethan Assouline.

“Bal Harbour is one of South Florida’s most special neighborhoods and an area we’ve wanted to build in for many years,” says Jon Paul Pérez, Related’s President. “Everything is in place to make this a truly once-in-a-generation project, from the site, to the team, to the general scarcity of newly constructed high-end supply in this neighborhood. Together with our partners, we look forward to delivering a property that honors Bal Harbour’s glamorous history while helping shape its future.”

Nestled between the glistening waters of the intracoastal waterway and 200 feet of uninterrupted oceanfront, Rivage immerses residents in South Florida’s breathtaking natural beauty. Employing a Tropical Modern aesthetic, SOM forgoes rigid lines in favor of flowing, natural shapes and seamless indoor-outdoor spaces. The property’s main 275-foot tower is itself a love letter to the sea and sky, with its three interconnecting glass ovals evoking a crystalline coral reef while allowing for maximum water views.

The tower’s amenity package is equally thoughtful, offering services and activities on-par with even the most elevated resorts. A focus on wellness connects the more than 25,000 square feet of on-site offerings, with highlights including a state-of-the-art fitness pavilion with panoramic views, a hammam spa, complete with hot/cold plunge pools, and private treatment rooms, pickle and paddle ball courts surrounded by lush landscapes designed by Swiss design firm Enea Garden Design. Residents and guests will also enjoy more laid-back options, including a private, chef-driven food and beverage services and cocktail lounge, VR game simulator and kids’ playroom. Resort-style services, including a 24/7 residential butler and dedicated lifestyle concierge, round out the package and ensure all residents’ whims are met.

The organic influences are clearly evident across Rivage’s 61 homes, with the flowing, open-concept plans carefully tuned to accentuate the awe-inspiring vistas. Designed to provide a single-family home experience, the residences range from 3,300 to nearly 13,000 square feet and offer in-unit elevator access and a private parking garage with each unit. Residents will also enjoy custom kitchens with Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, as well as bathrooms and closets designed by Rottet Studio with imported Italian finishes. The mansion-in-the-sky feel is furthered by the sprawling living rooms opening up to oversized terraces with direct views of the sea and nearby Biscayne Bay.

“Every single one of our decisions is geared towards providing a marquee experience,” says Taylor Collins, Managing Partner at Two Roads. “While our buyers can certainly purchase just about anywhere in the world, we are confident they will only want to buy at Rivage. We are raising Bal Harbour’s already lofty pedigree and, in the process, establishing a new standard for condominium living.”

The neighborhood of Bal Harbour has been an enclave for the elite since its establishment in 1929. Located between iconic South Beach and Sunny Isles, Bal Harbour has long been a snowbird favorite, offering easy access to the world-famous Bal Harbour Shops as well as the very best South Florida has to offer.

Private marinas, 24/7 concierges, unmatched waterfront views, and in-unit elevators – these are just some of the lifestyle offerings today’s evermore demanding buyers expect when shopping for a luxury condominium in South Florida. To stand out amongst increasingly over-the-top high-rises, developers of branded residential projects across booming Miami are going on the offensive, offering curated amenities that exceed even the loftiest expectations.

Private marinas, 24/7 concierges, unmatched waterfront views, and in-unit elevators – these are just some of the lifestyle offerings today’s evermore demanding buyers expect when shopping for a luxury condominium in South Florida. To stand out amongst increasingly over-the-top high-rises, developers of branded residential projects across booming Miami are going on the offensive, offering curated amenities that exceed even the loftiest expectations. 

“It’s all about surprising buyers – offering something they never knew they couldn’t live without,” says Jon Paul Perez, President of development powerhouse Related Group. “We’re always pushing the bar higher and working to outdo ourselves. Take golf simulators and VR amenities, for example. Not too long ago, these were an extra luxury reserved only for our most high-end projects. Now, these types of options are simply expected.”

Branded residential concepts, like Related’s and Integra Investment’s St. Regis Residences, Miami, are setting the pace for a new wave of condominiums vying for the spotlight in sunny South Florida. By partnering with beloved brands, Miami developers can curate their projects to match the passions of buyers and deliver entire turnkey lifestyles with exceptional, five-star service. Simply using a brand name isn’t quite enough, however. 

“We invested considerable time and resources into ensuring our amenities, signature butler services, and rituals live up to the rich history of the St. Regis name,” says Nelson Stabile, principal and co-founder of Integra and co-developer of The St. Regis Residences, Miami. “Many of our buyers are loyal to the St. Regis brand and want to immerse themselves in the iconic brand full-time. As such, every lifestyle feature and service offering in The Residences is hand-curated to exude that unique St. Regis spirit.”

Located in the heart of the Brickell neighborhood and situated on an exclusive waterfront site, while offering glimmering views of Biscayne Bay, The Residences come brimming with lifestyle touches, including over 60,000-square-feet of hand-selected amenities. Among the many standouts is the elevated waterfront pool deck, designed to evoke the prestigious roots of the St. Regis brand. The expansive terrace features a saltwater swimming pool and poolside cabanas overlooking turquoise waters, as well as a poolside café and bar, a whirlpool, and luscious gardens with ample seating for residents to admire the greenery – all complemented by breathtaking bay views and serene sounds of the water.

The property’s state-of-the-art fitness center includes the latest in cardio, strength training, yoga and meditation equipment curated by The Wright Fit. The on-site spa continues the dreamy experience, and showcases the resort-inspired lifestyle, with comprehensive facilities – including an indoor lap pool, cold plunge pool, salt spa room, dual saunas, and state-of-the-art treatment rooms. 

Additional highlights include a St. Regis signature tearoom, where residents can enjoy the brand’s historic afternoon tea service, a fine-dining restaurant helmed by James Beard Award-winning Chef Fabio Trabocchi, a private marina, programmable golf simulator, and a 31st-floor sky lounge with 360-degree views of the Magic City.

Owners will also enjoy a world-class portfolio of services, including a 24-hour St. Regis-trained butler dedicated to fulfilling owners’ personal requests. Whether arranging personal appointments, coordinating travel and transit, or hosting an event in one of the signature St. Regis spaces, like the tearoom or cognac room, the aim is to keep residents at ease. 

And while developers of The Residences place a heavy emphasis on amenities, the 342 residences were no afterthoughts. The units come in varied floor plans, including penthouses and sky villas, and range from one to seven bedrooms. The open-concept layouts come standard with custom European marble flooring, Wolf appliances, custom Italian cabinetry, Dornbracht fixtures, and full-height wine refrigerators.

Completion is slated for 2024.

Real estate industry leaders Related Group, ROVR Development and BH Group have officially broken ground on the sold-out District 225. Located at 225 North Miami Avenue in Downtown Miami, the 343-unit property is a new luxury condominium tower offering residents the ability to host their condos on Airbnb for any stay length (subject to applicable laws and restrictions). Completion is slated for 2024.

“District 225 is a project of many firsts. Now, with financing in hand, we’re happy to share that the development is also the first of Related’s next-generation Miami-Dade condos to begin vertical construction,” said Jon Paul Perez, Related Group president. “We couldn’t be more pleased with the reception District 225 saw from buyers and the industry. Not only did the project sell out in record time, but it also gave birth to an all-new type of restriction-free development that’s already had many other projects follow in its footsteps.”

Responding to a sustained demand for flexible ownership and living options, District 225 delivers ready-to-rent, fully furnished residences purposely designed, built and licensed to be shared. The project proved to be a success in the Miami market with all units sold within two months of its sales launch. Unique from past condos in the development team’s respective portfolios, District 225 attracted predominantly domestic buyers, including young professionals and remote workers in the new work-from-home era.

“Downtown Miami is going through a rebirth,” says Oscar Rodriguez, founding partner of ROVR Development. “We’re excited to have identified and secured a site that is so central to this neighborhood’s transformation. District 225 is a catalyst for flexible living, offering luxury condominiums at attainable prices in one of the city’s most promising destinations, surrounded by parks, public transportation, entertainment and more.”

District 225 joins downtown Miami as the neighborhood’s burgeoning market experiences a resurgence of new residential high-rises. The increased demand for residential units in the area is a testament to its growth as a cosmopolitan destination that caters to a live, work, play lifestyle. Just a few blocks away, The Related Group also announced The Crosby, another short-term-rental ready development located within the Miami Worldcenter mixed-use development

Upping the Ante: Miami Developers Raise Their Amenity Game Ever Higher

Helipads, private chefs, 24/7 concierges and more, these are just some of the amenity offerings gracing the world’s most luxurious condominium towers. However, in burgeoning markets like Miami, developers are taking an elevated approach by offering bespoke lifestyle offerings that exceed the expectations of even the most demanding buyers.

Helipads, private chefs, 24/7 concierges and more, these are just some of the amenity offerings gracing the world’s most luxurious condominium towers. However, in burgeoning markets like Miami, developers are taking an elevated approach by offering bespoke lifestyle offerings that exceed the expectations of even the most demanding buyers.

“Amenities are one of the more important considerations for prospective homebuyers and have become even more abundant in today's market," says Jon Paul Perez, President of development powerhouse Related Group. “Take private theaters, for example. Not too long ago, that was an extra luxury that buyers were willing to pay a premium for. Now, these types of options are expected and seen as table stakes.”

Contrary to popular belief, having vast social media-worthy pools or fitness centers isn’t the answer. Buyers are increasingly opting for buildings where amenities – along with design and architecture – are tailored specifically to them. 

According to Perez, “These buyers are better informed and have more choices than ever before. They are looking for properties that are flexible and adaptable to their changing lifestyles and personal interests. That’s where brand partnerships have really helped us elevate our unique selling propositions.”

Branded residential concepts, like Related’s Baccarat Residences Miami, are setting the pace for a new wave of condominiums in the South Florida market. By partnering with well-known and respected lifestyle brands, developers can curate their projects to match the passions of buyers and differentiate themselves amidst an increasingly competitive marketplace. 

Simply using a brand name isn’t quite enough, however. “We invested considerable time and resources into designing the amenities spaces at Baccarat,” says Perez. “Baccarat is one of France’s most established crystal manufacturers, known for its prestigious crystal glassware and décor. Many of our buyers are loyal Baccarat aficionados and want to immerse themselves in the iconic brand full-time. As such, every amenity in the tower is hand-crafted to exude that unique Baccarat spirit.”

Following the tradition of service excellence set by its New York sister property, Baccarat Residences Miami will offer an around-the-clock concierge team, expertly managed by SH Hotels & Resorts, wholly dedicated to supporting and even anticipating the needs of every resident. Whether arranging personal appointments, coordinating travel and transit, or hosting an event at the Grand Salon, the aim is to keep residents at ease, at home or away. 

This painstaking attention to detail starts at the entrance level with luxurious lobby spaces showcased within an undulating glass façade featuring the dramatic stone portal and reception area, the café and flower shop, and the gallery with a curated museum-quality art collection. 

The property’s exclusive offerings continue at the elevated waterfront pool deck. Designed to evoke the Baccarat brand’s deep French roots, the expansive terrace features an infinity saltwater swimming pool and poolside cabanas commanding a breathtaking view of the sparkling turquoise waters of Biscayne Bay and the Miami River. This elevated outdoor experience also includes a poolside café and bar, as well as a romantic Orangerie, fountains and formal gardens. Residents will round up their day in the sun with a private marina, offering on-demand reservations and access to the residences’ private yacht for easy access to nearby riverfront restaurants.   

For health and wellness enthusiasts, the property’s state-of-the-art fitness center expands over a full level of the tower with the latest in cardio, strength training, yoga and meditation equipment curated by Anatomy. The on-site spa continues the dreamy experience, and showcases the resort-inspired lifestyle, with comprehensive spa facilities – including a hammam, steam room and sauna, treatment rooms and exclusive products from the prestigious beauty brand La Mer. There is also a full-service beauty salon and barber, as well as an on-site pet spa that ensures furry residents will be as pampered as their owners.

Baccarat Residences Miami’s luxurious offerings also boast a double-height Grand Salon with dramatic black Baccarat chandeliers, as well as the intimate tropical-styled Petite Salon, the elegant game room with billiards table, the private screening room with theatre-style seating, the wine cellar and tasting salon, and a private dining room with Chef’s kitchen. The idyllic children’s playroom is full of thoughtful details even featuring a carousel for the younger residents to enjoy. The on-site property offerings are complemented with the Beach Club membership to the 1 Hotel South Beach, SH Hotels & Resorts sister property. 

“Baccarat is all about the celebration of the beauty of light, and there is no better place to celebrate the light and beauty than Miami, a city that blazes in sunshine, and celebrates arts and culture,” says Barry Sternlicht, Chairman and CEO of Starwood Capital Group and Chairman of SH Hotels & Resorts, the parent company that operates all Baccarat Hotels.

“While it certainly requires significantly more time and attention, we have seen that focusing on amenities makes all the difference,” adds Perez. “We are already more than 75% sold at Baccarat Residences Miami and are continuing to see robust demand. Amenities are here to stay and will continue to evolve and grow more complex, but that will only result in even better, more ambitious developments. It’s exciting!”

A partnership between Related Group and Integra Investments have launched sales at the second tower at The St. Regis Residences, Miami, an uncompromising new condominium set to redefine Miami’s skyline in Brickell. The launch of the western located William Tower comes amid strong sales and buyer response at the eastern Astor Tower which launched earlier this year. Residences in the William Tower are priced from $2.8 for a 2,300 SF two bedroom residence.

The two-tower property is set at the pinnacle of design, combining the talents of Robert A.M Stern Architects (RAMSA) and Rockwell Group spearheading architecture and interiors, respectively. The 354 bespoke residences set across both towers will offer an equally sophisticated experience. The project has a sell-out expected to exceed $2 billion.
