Following strong sales momentum this year, the penthouses are priced from $8.8 million to $10.4 million, setting a new benchmark for sophisticated living in Fort Lauderdale.

The collection includes two expansive four-bedroom residences, each offering five full bathrooms, a powder room, and private elevator access.

Interiors are designed for both everyday living and entertaining, with open kitchens, formal dining areas, media rooms, walk-in pantries, laundry rooms, his-and-hers primary bathrooms, wet bars in the primary suites, outdoor kitchens and private hot tubs overlooking the city and water.

“Buyers are gravitating toward a more hospitality-driven lifestyle, where home and social life blend together seamlessly,” said Danielle Naftali, EVP of Marketing, Sales & Design at Naftali Group. “With the strength of the Viceroy brand and Rockwell’s design approach, we’ve created two beautiful residences that sit at the top of the tower, with every detail thoughtfully considered, from the wellness-focused amenities and expansive outdoor spaces to the private pool experience. They’re designed to feel equally suited for everyday living and entertaining friends and family.”

Developed by Naftali Group and exclusively represented by Douglas Elliman, Viceroy Residences Fort Lauderdale brings a hospitality-forward approach to residential living in the city. Located between Las Olas Boulevard and Flagler Village, the 45-story tower features 251 one- to four-bedroom residences and more than 30,000 square feet of amenities and services designed to seamlessly blend home, wellness and social life.

Naftali Group Expands Retail Offerings at JEM Private Residences with ITO•Kaya and SunLife Organics at Miami Worldcenter

JEM Private Residences, the highly anticipated luxury residential tower developed by globally recognized real estate development and investment firm Naftali Group, has announced the addition of ITO•Kaya, a new Japanese dining concept from the team behind ITO, the acclaimed omakase restaurant, along with SunLife Organics, a Malibu-born wellness café, to the building’s retail space. Together, these additions further elevate JEM’s curated lifestyle experience, bringing both wellness-driven offerings and a vibrant dining destination to Miami Worldcenter.

“Miami has evolved into a global destination for dining and lifestyle, and we wanted JEM to reflect that in a way that feels natural,” said Danielle Naftali, Executive Vice President of Marketing, Sales and Design at Naftali Group. “We’re curating the right mix by bringing in concepts like ITO•Kaya and SunLife Organics that people can easily enjoy every day.”

ITO•Kaya, a new concept from the team behind ITO, the acclaimed omakase restaurant with locations in New York and Las Vegas, is brought to life by hospitality group VCR Group in partnership with Chefs Masa Ito and Kevin Kim. VCR, led by partners David Rodolitz, Gary Vaynerchuk, Conor Hanlon, and Chef Josh Capon, is known for crafting experience-driven dining that blends culinary excellence with a strong sense of community, including the members-only Flyfish Club in New York City.

At JEM, ITO•Kaya will present a Japanese-inspired menu centered around shareable dishes, alongside nigiri, sashimi, and skewers, complemented by cocktails, sake, and Japanese whiskies. Designed to create a lively, social atmosphere, the restaurant will serve as both a neighborhood destination and an extension of JEM’s residential lifestyle, with service integrated into the building’s amenity deck and private residences. The concept reflects the development’s commitment to a more connected, experience-driven way of living.

"ITO•Kaya is a natural evolution of what we’ve built with ITO, bringing a more social, energetic format to the experience while maintaining the same level of quality and attention to detail,” said David Rodolitz, Founder and CEO of VCR Group. “Its location within the walkable Miami Worldcenter creates a unique opportunity to connect with both residents and the broader Miami community in a meaningful way."

"The menu is designed to be shared, featuring dishes that are bold, balanced, and crafted to enhance the overall dining experience,” said Chef Masa Ito, Michelin-starred Chef and Co-Founder of ITO. “It will offer a setting where guests can engage with the food in different ways, whether for a full dining experience or a more casual, spontaneous visit."

SunLife Organics, the Malibu-born wellness brand dedicated to promoting clean, nutrient-rich living, is known for its organic smoothies, superfood bowls, and thoughtfully sourced ingredients. Since its founding, the brand has cultivated a loyal following by emphasizing quality, community, and a holistic approach to wellness. The cafe will offer a health-forward, all-day menu for residents and visitors, serving both the amenity pool and surrounding areas, reflecting JEM’s commitment to making wellness a seamless part of everyday living.

“We’re excited to bring SunLife Organics to JEM in Downtown Miami and be part of residents’ everyday experience,” said Khalil Rafati, Founder of SunLife Organics. “Miami has become a true hub for wellness, and our focus on quality ingredients and feel-good offerings fits perfectly within the city’s vibrant, health-conscious lifestyle.”

Located in the heart of Miami Worldcenter, JEM Private Residences is designed as a next-generation luxury development that seamlessly integrates residential living with hospitality, wellness and dining. The project recently reached a major milestone with the completion of its podium level, marking its transition to vertical construction as it continues to take shape in one of Miami’s fastest-growing neighborhoods. Residents will enjoy access to over 30,000 square feet of amenities, including resort-style pools, state-of-the-art fitness and wellness facilities, and a range of social and entertainment spaces designed to foster connection and community. With the addition of SunLife Organics and ITO•Kaya, JEM continues to build upon its vision of delivering a carefully crafted environment where design, culture and hospitality converge.

The sales gallery is open daily and located in Miami Worldcenter at 110 NE 10th Street.

Naftali Group Tops Off Podium Level at JEM Private Residences in Miami Worldcenter

National real estate development and investment firm Naftali Group has topped off of the podium level at JEM Private Residences in Downtown Miami. This milestone marks the completion of the 11th floor and signals a major step forward in the vertical construction of the 67-story luxury tower rising within Miami Worldcenter. Construction is overseen by Coastal Construction.

With this achievement, the structure transitions from the building’s foundation and parking levels to the residential tower above. With the lobby, retail and parking garage now complete, construction continues to advance upward toward the tower’s full height.

“This milestone speaks to our confidence behind JEM Private Residences and the incredible overall development and growth in Miami Worldcenter,” says Miki Naftali, Chairman and CEO of Naftali Group. “We are looking forward to delivering a remarkable residential tower in the heart of Downtown Miami with our commitment to high-quality design and craftsmanship, while offering an elevated living experience for residents at every level.”

Construction at JEM Private Residences is advancing at an impressive pace. The project broke ground in April 2024, less than six months after the project was introduced to the market, an unusually fast timeline for Miami real estate. That momentum has been fueled by strong buyer demand, including the recent international $8 million sale of Sky Villa 2 with Interiors by FENDI Casa, and further accelerated by Naftali Group securing $465 million in construction financing in 2025. The funding provides the capital to drive all phases of the project forward, reflecting strong institutional confidence and underscoring Naftali Group’s commitment and ability to deliver large-scale, design-driven residential developments in South Florida. Construction continues on schedule, with completion anticipated in Q4 2027.

Developed by Naftali Group and designed by Arquitectonica with interiors by Rockwell Group and landscape architecture by EDSA, JEM Private Residences will feature 273 luxury condominium residences ranging from studios to four-bedroom layouts, along with a limited collection of Sky Villas with Interiors by FENDI Casa at the crown of the building. Residences are intentionally positioned to begin on the 43rd floor to maximize views of the Miami skyline, Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic Ocean.

The sales gallery is open daily and located in Miami Worldcenter at 110 NE 10th Street.

National real estate developer Naftali Group has revealed JEM Sky Villas with Interiors by FENDI Casa, two luxury penthouses designed with signature FENDI Casa collections. Perched atop the luxurious JEM Private Residences in the heart of downtown Miami, these residences will seamlessly blend high fashion interior design with the art of living. OneWorld Properties is the exclusive brokerage for these exquisite sky villas, each priced from $8 million.

“We are excited about this special collaboration with FENDI Casa on the JEM Sky Villas. We look forward to bringing this limited collection of residences to downtown Miami,” said Miki Naftali, chairman and CEO of Naftali Group. “The JEM Sky Villas signify the evolving landscape of upscale living in this dynamic city, with each villa showcasing FENDI Casa's exceptional craftsmanship and meticulously designed furnishings at the crown of JEM Private Residences.”

The JEM Sky Villas with interiors by FENDI Casa offer spacious floor plans ranging from 5,083 to 5,277 square feet. Each villa includes four bedrooms, four and a half bathrooms, a library and a wraparound terrace, allowing residents to take in the breathtaking views of Miami's vibrant downtown and Biscayne Bay. One of the residences is also equipped with a hot tub adorning its expansive terrace. FENDI Casa's renowned blend of elegance and contemporary style is profound within the thoughtfully designed, beautifully furnished residences including luxurious materials and craftsmanship.

“Collaborating with FENDI Casa to design and curate each space at the JEM Sky Villas has been a remarkable experience of craftsmanship and creativity,” said Danielle Naftali, Executive Vice President of Marketing, Sales + Design for Naftali Group. “Inspired by FENDI’s rich heritage in Rome, with the FENDI Casa team we hand-selected and custom-finished each piece to complement the lifestyle that these residences offer. Every detail has been chosen to create a harmonious blend of high-end design and refined living, giving residents a truly unique and elevated experience in the heart of downtown Miami."

The custom nature of the designs was curated to provide a special experience for the JEM Sky Villas, symbolizing how each of the penthouses are truly unique like the ‘JEMs’ within the crown of the building. The details were carefully selected, down to each piece of fabric and finish. Showpieces like the FENDI Casa Matrice bookcase highlight bold, jewel-tone colors in a geometric, sophisticated style. Similar geometric design is also embodied in the Metropolis coffee table, a nod to the design of the FENDI headquarters in Rome. The end result of the collection is a timeless and authentic design, enhanced by the signature FENDI Casa look in each room.

“This partnership represents a significant milestone for FENDI Casa in the realm of interior design,” said Alberto da Passano, CEO of FENDI Casa, “as luxury projects gain prominence globally, we are excited to contribute to this prestigious development and continue our expansion into high-end markets.”

Developed by Naftali Group, JEM Private Residences is the jewel of Miami located within Miami Worldcenter. All the residential units are meticulously crafted condominium residences, the property will rise over 700 feet and offer residents the opportunity to live in a haven of contemporary luxury designed by world-renowned firms Arquitectonica and Rockwell Group. JEM Private Residences sets the bar for residential luxury in South Florida with residences positioned beginning from the 43rd floor to maximize views, superior craftsmanship adorning each inch of the property and an elevated suite of amenities intended to improve the overall living experience for residents. The 50th floor offers an amenity suite with an indoor Sky Lounge, outdoor pool, fitness center, boxing arena, yoga patio, and spa suite, providing residents with a luxurious and diverse array of spaces for relaxation, exercise, and leisure activities. The development is projected to be complete in Q4 of 2027.
