Terra, led by David Martin, and co-developer Lion Development, led by Michael Simkins, have announced that the internationally-acclaimed Argentine polo player, model, and philanthropist Nacho Figueras, and his son, polo player Hilario Figueras, have signed a contract at Jean-Georges Miami Tropic Residences.

Terra, led by David Martin, and co-developer Lion Development, led by Michael Simkins, have announced that the internationally-acclaimed Argentine polo player, model, and philanthropist Nacho Figueras, and his son, polo player Hilario Figueras, have signed a contract at Jean-Georges Miami Tropic Residences, the Michelin-starred chef’s first residential building located steps away from the Miami Design District and Midtown.

Figueras purchased Residence 3505, a 2,951-square-foot three-bedroom, three-and-a-half bathroom home listed for $3,116,000, which Hilario Figueras will use as a pied-à-terre. The residence features a private elevator and a 968-square-foot private terrace showcasing sweeping views of Wynwood and the cityscape. Douglas Elliman is exclusively handling sales for Jean-Georges Miami Tropic Residences, and Nicole Cardona of Douglas Elliman represented this deal.

“Hilario brought this opportunity to me, and having long admired Jean-Georges and Terra’s renowned developments, it was one we couldn’t pass up,” said Nacho Figueras. “Jean-Georges Miami Tropic Residences offers everything polo players like us could ask for – a home where every detail is handled, blending lifestyle, services, and effortless living.”

“The Design District’s walkability, elegance, and vibrant culture, combined with Miami’s rise as a hub for health and wellness, make this the perfect home – a place that resonates with our lifestyle,” said Hilario Figueras. “When visiting Jean-Georges’ Four Twenty Five in New York, the attention to detail, service, and sophistication confirmed this new home was the right choice.”

Designed by award-winning architecture firm Arquitectonica, with interiors by internationally acclaimed design studio Yabu Pushelberg, the 48-story tower will offer 329 condominium residences and 27,500 square feet of ground-floor retail. Residents will enjoy access to over 41,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor amenities thoughtfully designed for wellness, gathering, and entertainment. Jean-Georges Miami Tropic Residences’ architecture seamlessly blends the urban tapestry of art and culture to form strong connections between the building and the people who live there. Interiors offer an overwhelming sense of calm through verdant greenery, textured fabrics, and natural materials; each space integrates shades of green and natural woods and stones, such as diabase, found in the tropics, similar to how Miami’s lush environment effortlessly blends with its art and culture-driven landscape.

“We look forward to welcoming Nacho and Hilario to the Miami Tropic community,” said David Martin, CEO of Terra. “In partnership with Jean-Georges, we’re curating more than just a residential offering. We’re building an immersive lifestyle shaped by culinary excellence, vibrant culture, and elevated service – which the chef and restaurateur has mastered throughout his career. The building is one-of-a-kind, and our buyers are taking notice.”

The Jean-Georges team-curated culinary experiences are integrated throughout the building in collaboration with Terra, Lion, and the designer, Yabu Pushelberg. These include not only curated menus at all resident amenities in the building but also involvement in the design of the amenity spaces. Jean-Georges Miami Tropic Residences' amenities span across five full floors and include an 8th-floor pool deck and adjacent resident-only restaurant and bar, rooftop pool, private dining room, archival library, juice bar, mini-market with a grab-and-go café, flowers and gifts, lounge spaces, and many other hospitality and wellness-driven areas throughout the building. The building's ground floor will house Jean-Georges' abc kitchens, a blend of his popular plant-forward restaurant abcV, Latin concept abc cocina, and abc kitchen.

Prominently located at the gateway between Midtown and the Miami Design District, and in close proximity to Wynwood, Jean-Georges Miami Tropic Residences will provide future residents with convenient, walkable access to luxury retail, dining, art, and culture. These colorful few blocks are accented by the artful storefronts of luxury retailers, eye-catching sculptural and architectural works like Sol Let Witt Sculpture Garden, Fly’s Eye Dome, and Daniel Toole’s Jade Alley, as well as immersive cultural experiences such as the Institute of Contemporary Art and BlackTower Gallery. Miami Tropic is also a short walk to multiple parks and playgrounds, many of them bayfront, including Paraiso Park, Martell Park, Roberto Clemente Park, Stearns Park, and Albert Pallot Park.

Located at 3501 NE 1st Avenue, at the nexus of Miami Design District and Midtown Miami, the building signifies Jean-Georges’ first foray into residential real estate.

Co-developers Terra, led by David Martin, and Lion Development Group, led by Michael Simkins, have launched of sales for Jean-Georges Miami Tropic Residences. Located at 3501 NE 1st Avenue, at the nexus of Miami Design District and Midtown Miami, the building signifies Jean-Georges Vongerichten’ first foray into residential real estate. Designed by Arquitectonica with interiors by internationally acclaimed design studio Yabu Pushelberg, the 48-story tower will include 329 condominium residences and 27,500 square feet of retail at the ground floor. Douglas Elliman is exclusively handling sales for the project.

“We’re thrilled to be partnering with Jean-Georges and look forward to introducing a first-of-its-kind lifestyle offering which celebrates the tropical living of South Florida while creating a true cosmopolitan experience at the center of Miami’s cultural hub,” said David Martin, CEO of Terra. “Miami Tropic residents will enjoy exceptional amenities, design and culinary experiences at their fingertips in addition to walkable, convenient access to Miami’s most distinctive and desirable neighborhoods.”

Jean-Georges Miami Tropic Residences features over 41,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor amenities thoughtfully designed for wellness, gathering and entertainment. The building's ground floor will house Jean-Georges' abc kitchens, a blend of his popular plant-forward restaurant abcV, Latin concept abc cocina, and abc kitchen. Taste is everything at Miami Tropic, and beyond high-quality craftsmanship and finishes, its future residents will have access to everything from beautifully designed gardens to culinary experiences by Jean-Georges, hospitality-driven services and resort-style offerings.

“Miami Tropic represents a longtime dream of mine to open residences that blend my culinary passions with my interest in creating lifestyle spaces,” said Jean-Georges Vongerichten. “We are proud to partner with David Martin on this new venture, whose expertise we value very much, and look forward to collaborating once again with Yabu Pushelberg to bring our first residences to life.”

Miami Tropic’s architecture by Arquitectonica and interior design by Yabu Pushelberg seamlessly blends the urban tapestry of art and culture to form strong connections between the building and the people who live there. The tower's sustainably-minded architecture (Florida Green Building Design with Silver Certification) features a modern, glass façade with distinct layers and lush landscaping integrated at its base. The interiors, designed by the acclaimed BoF 500 design studio Yabu Pushelberg, offer an overwhelming sense of calm through verdant greenery, textured fabrics and natural materials. Known for their global portfolio of work including the Aman Residences, Tokyo, Edition Hotels in London, Miami, New York, and Jeddah, The Londoner in Leicester Square and La Samaritaine, Paris, among others, George Yabu and Glenn Pushelberg previously collaborated with Jean-Georges to design The Fulton by Jean-Georges in New York City.

We are inspired to contribute to this pedestrian-friendly neighborhood with Miami Tropic where the city's lush, tropical environment blends with its vibrant culture," added George Yabu, co-founder of Yabu Pushelberg.

Catering to the sophistication and spontaneity of Miami buyers, Yabu Pushelberg’s interior design for Jean-Georges Miami Tropic Residences explores the intersection of joy and refinement, redefining luxury living by embracing exuberance and charm. Yabu Pushelberg placed an emphasis on light, openness, and spatial design, reflecting Miami’s unique ability to cultivate spaces that are both stimulating and tranquil. The interiors integrate shades of green and natural woods and stones, such as diabase, found in the tropics, similar to how Miami’s lush environment effortlessly blends with its art and culture-driven urban landscape. To pay homage to the Design District’s dynamic architecture, Yabu Pushelberg incorporated moments of bold, playful texture throughout Miami Tropic’s interior spaces and integrated artworks of bold color and adventurous compositions, quietly yet powerfully evoking the lush tropics.

In the residences, floor-to-ceiling glass windows flood with natural light and strengthen residents’ connection to the surrounding city. Each home offers one of two distinct color palettes: dawn, reflecting the delicate hues of early morning light, and dusk, evoking tranquility and sophistication through evening-inspired hues. Yabu Pushelberg worked closely with Jean-Georges to ensure the residential kitchens were intentionally crafted to be both functional and compelling with an expansive kitchen island, providing a culinary stage as the room’s focal point. The dawn-palette kitchens feature Crema Marfil marble countertops, orange-brown ceramic tile backsplash, warm champagne metal accents, and Italian wood cabinetry in a beachwood finish. The dusk-palette kitchens boast Green Diabaz stone countertops, dark blue ceramic tile backsplash, rubbed metal accents, and Italian wood cabinetry in a dark finish.

"We're excited to partner with David Martin and Terra on another joint venture and look forward to aligning our shared vision with Jean-Georges, Yabu Pushelberg and Arquitectonica in bringing this building to life. At Lion Development Group we specialize in world-class, community-based development projects such as Jean-Georges Miami Tropic Residences, blending hospitality, entertainment, technology, culture and the arts," said Michael Simkins, CEO of Lion Development Group.

Prominently situated on the border of Miami’s Design District in proximity to Wynwood and Midtown, Jean-Georges Miami Tropic Residences will provide future residents convenient, walkable access to luxury retail, dining, art, and culture. These colorful few blocks are accented by the artful storefronts of luxury retailers, eye-catching sculptural and architectural works like Sol Let Witt Sculpture Garden, Fly’s Eye Dome, and Daniel Toole’s Jade Alley, as well as immersive cultural experiences such as the Institute of Contemporary Art and BlackTower Gallery.
