Moss Set To Lead Construction At One Thousand Group, Terra and Major Food Group's Villa Miami

Moss Construction will oversee construction of Villa Miami, a groundbreaking luxury waterfront development in Miami's Edgewater neighborhood. Set to break ground in the summer of 2024, Villa marks the first-ever collaboration between Major Food Group, David Martin’s Terra and One Thousand Group. Situated at 710 NE 29 St., Villa Miami will stand as a 56-story, 650-foot-tall architectural marvel. Envisioned by ODP Architects under the leadership of rising star Kurt Dannwolf, its distinctive copper color-cladded exoskeletal design is set to make Villa Miami an iconic tower on Miami’s Edgewater skyline.

“We’re thrilled to work with Moss Construction on another landmark project,” said David Martin, CEO of Terra. “Villa Miami meets the demand for a luxury condominium tower with full and half-floor vertical residences in a boutique environment. Terra has a proven history of enriching neighborhoods across South Florida and Villa will do the same for Edgewater.”

“Villa Miami is an elegantly stunning concept, and Moss is thrilled to be part of the Terra team once again. We eagerly anticipate the groundbreaking and the realization of this unparalleled residential experience which will change Miami’s skyline,” said Ed Baro, Executive Vice President of Moss.

The project’s interior design is led by Vicky Charles of Charles & Co., known for her work as former design director at Soho House and for commissions for the likes of Sony Music, Goop, George and Amal Clooney, Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis as well as David and Victoria Beckham.

Renowned landscape architect Enzo Enea is at the forefront of Villa Miami's green design, incorporating native plants seamlessly into the surrounding landscape. Moss Construction, under the guidance of Brett Atkinson, brings its wealth of experience, particularly in luxury high-rise developments, having successfully collaborated with David Martin’s Terra on recent projects like the topped-out Five Park Miami Beach set to deliver this year. Global structural design firm DeSimone—whose more than 10,000 building designs include the most recognizable high-rises in New York and Miami—will engineer the impressive structure.

Villa Miami will offer 72 exclusive full and half-floor residences, epitomizing vertical estate-style living with 360-degree water views. Residents will enjoy a plethora of amenities including Major Domo estate manager service, a rooftop helipad, poolside service, spa and wellness facilities, access to a branded beach club, and a fully serviced elevated pool deck. Additionally, the tower will boast an on-site MFG restaurant with private lounge spaces, offering residents preferred reservations, provisioning and access to at-home MFG chef services.

Terra and One Thousand Group, developers of Villa, the first luxury condominium tower branded by the hospitality powerhouse, Major Food Group (MFG), confirmed the sale of a residence valued at $4.6 million to Duncan Robinson, a forward for the NBA’s Miami Heat. The announcement comes on the heels of the property’s September sales launch.

The 29-year-old, New Hampshire native purchased an expansive three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath condominium in Edgewater’s most exclusive residential offering. The 3,000-square-foot half-floor residence features large east and west-facing balconies, 10’ ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows as well as custom wood flooring and doors. Designed by Vicky Charles of New York Design Studio Charles & Co., the building’s interior is outfitted with noble materials including travertine marble, wood flooring and soft lighting throughout.

Located at 710 NE 29 Avenue, Villa’s living experience encompasses land, air and sea, complete with a helipad and a private dock equipped with a boat slip overlooking unobstructed views of Biscayne Bay. The tower will also unveil MFG’s first waterfront restaurant with two floors of dining rooms, bar seats and private lounge space.

“I was attracted to the area first - Edgewater is Miami’s most ‘up and coming’ neighborhood featuring luxury buildings with incredible bay views and some of Miami’s best restaurants. Its proximity to downtown and Miami Beach really makes it a no-brainer.” says Robinson. “I love that Major Food Group will have not only a restaurant right downstairs, but also will be managing all the hospitality in the building for owners. I’m a fan of the brand and believe in the value it brings to the building.”

Inspired by MFG’s acclaimed dining concepts, Villa boasts a wide selection of food and beverage amenities including a residents-only juice bar and coffee lounge, on-site event catering as well as at-home private chef services or cooking lessons. Robinson will have access to the tower’s private Member’s Club featuring an array of spaces for every gathering and convenience, from a curated library, intimate lounge rooms, boardroom and private offices, screening rooms and more. Additionally, Villa grants its residents VIP status at all MFG restaurants, with early access and invitations to all brand events and openings.

“Robinson was attracted to the building’s high barrier to entry and its exclusivity with limited, high-value vertical residences,” said Julian Calderin of Douglas Elliman, who along with colleague Caroline Nava represented the buyer. Sari Libbin Shapiro, Sales Executive at Villa Miami, represented the development.

“Villa offers a new proposition for living in Miami,” said David Martin, CEO of Terra. “This project combines excellence in development, design, dining and hospitality, which makes it an entirely novel concept for Miami. Villa will afford residents all the luxuries, conveniences and amenities of high-rise living, along with the expansive living space and floor plans that they would expect from an estate home.”

“Coming from One Thousand Museum, we’re extremely proud to be working on yet another transformative project,” added Kevin Venger, Co-Founder of One Thousand Group. “I had an opportunity to spend some time with Duncan and discuss the lifestyle we are creating at Villa, and we are all excited to have him as one of our residents.”

Beyond the services, the tower’s health and wellness amenities create a refuge for relaxation. Residents are invited to a spa experience inspired by Ischia’s Mezzatorre thermal spas, containing marble plunge pools, an herbal steam room and various treatment rooms.

The state-of-the-art fitness center features yoga and boxing rooms, locker rooms and private or group fitness classes. Additionally, Villa’s elevated pool deck is fully serviced by MFG-trained staff and outfitted with a variety of lounges.
