Monaco Yacht Club & Residences Debuts Sales Gallery In Miami Beach

Monaco Yacht Club & Residences, which is being developed by Optimum Development USA, has revealed its newly opened sales gallery at 6897 Collins Avenue in Miami Beach. The nautically themed, boutique Bayfront condominium offers its own private marina and just thirty-nine luxurious waterfront residences delivered fully finished with curated interiors by world-renowned Italian interior designer Piero Lissoni.

“We are delighted to at last unveil the much anticipated Monaco Yacht Club & Residences sales gallery,” said Ricardo Tabet, CEO of Optimum Development USA. “The sophisticated design showcases the extraordinary talents of Piero Lissoni and Bernardo Fort-Brescia of Arquitectonica and is an overall reflection of the building’s program of luxury living, fun lifestyle, laid-back environment, and relaxed atmosphere.”

Lissoni is recognized as one of the masters of contemporary design and known for a stunning portfolio of international projects in the fields of architecture, landscape, interior, product and graphic design and corporate identity. Lissoni is also the art director for some of the most influential design companies for whom he designs an extensive range of products such as Boffi, Fantini and Salvatori, all of which are incorporated into the design of the new sales gallery.  

The sales gallery showcases Lissoni’s inspired designs with modern interiors in white warm tones, refined Italian-made fixtures and finishes, and Arrigoni wide plank wood flooring from Austria, where for each tree felled, four are planted. 

“It is a very proud moment for us to officially welcome prospects and the real estate community to experience the Côte d’Azur in the heart of Miami’s Mid-Beach,” said Rodolfo Misitano, CEO of Optimum Asset Management (parent company of Optimum Development USA). “The exquisitely designed sales gallery offers an up-close opportunity for our guests to experience what it’s like to live in one of our residences and the ultimate indoor/outdoor lifestyle that Monaco Yacht Club & Residences will offer.”

Optimum Group Hosts Groundbreaking Ceremony for “The Optimum,” Their New Coconut Grove Office Tower

Optimum Group, a global real estate investor and leading developer, hosted a formal groundbreaking ceremony and champagne reception to celebrate the construction commencement of The Optimum, a new class A office tower in Coconut Grove. Mayor Tomás Pedro Regalado spoke briefly on Coconut Grove’s rich history and Optimum’s commitment to enhance the neighborhood’s revitalization as well as company’s ongoing contribution to evolve South Florida communities and growing businesses.

“As the first new Class A office building in over 25 years that fulfills the much-needed commercial and retail component in ‎the center of one of Miami’s most historic community, ‘The Optimum’ is our response for those who are looking to live, work and play in the neighborhood,” said Ricardo Tabet, ceo of Optimum Group. “The space will not only complement The Groves’ lush landscaping and understated aesthetic, but will contribute to the neighborhood’s electrifying renaissance.”

The Optimum is a 5-story, class A office tower in the heart of the Grove. The Optimum is being designed by Arquitectonica, who took cues from Coconut Grove lush folliage including raking the buildings’ facades in natural cement and wood to blend seamlessly into Coconut Grove. The development will entail 44,000 SF of office space and 6,500 SF of ground floor restaurant space which is expected to feature a high-end restaurant along with a rooftop lounge that offers dramatic, panoramic views of Biscayne Bay. Optimum Development USA paid $8.5 million for the assemblage in 2014 and has since taken a $21.5 million loan on the property. The Optimum is located at 3480 Main Highway in Coconut Grove and is expected to be completed by 2018 with occupancy in just 16 months.
