Michelin-Starred Chef Shaun Hergatt To Open Private Oceanfront Restaurant And Speakeasy At The Perigon

The Perigon, an ultra-luxury oceanfront condo building being developed by Camilo Miguel Jr.’s Mast Capital and Barry Sternlicht’s Starwood Capital Group in Miami Beach, has partnered with celebrated Michelin-starred chef Shaun Hergatt to open Miami Beach’s first ever resident only concept by a Michelin-starred chef as an exclusive amenity to the property. Shaun Hergatt will curate the food and beverage concept at The Perigon including a private resident-only restaurant and speakeasy. Chef Shaun Hergatt, the executive chef and owner behind some of New York’s most famed Michelin-starred restaurants both public and private, including Vestry in Soho and 432 Park Avenue respectively, is renowned for his technically precise cooking and painterly presentations. Nota at The Perigon will be Hergatt’s first-ever Mediterranean concept, while FiftyThree, a speakeasy cocktail lounge, will have a bold, playful style.

“We are designing more than a condominium at The Perigon, it is a private, highly serviced five star resort exclusively for the owners,” said Camilo Miguel, Jr., CEO of Mast Capital. “The Perigon is offering Miami Beach’s first-ever resident-only Michelin-starred chef dining concept, where residents can enjoy their privacy or mix and mingle with their neighbors. Additionally, our partnership with such a notable chef as Shaun Hergatt further solidifies the commitment to the quality of luxury, The Perigon will offer to its residents.”

Taking advantage of the oceanfront location and abundance of rich, local ingredients, Nota at The Perigon is centered around a clean, crisp palate. With seafood anchoring the Mediterranean inspired menu, Chef Hergatt plans to use woodfire grilling techniques to create dishes that are elevated yet approachable, with health and wellness at the forefront.

“Food brings people together and through this partnership with Mast Capital, I’m thrilled and honored to further elevate the experience for the residents at The Perigon,” said Chef Shaun Hergatt. “Paying homage to the regional flavors and ingredients, our rotating seasonal menus will offer an elevated yet approachable cuisine, exclusive to residents and their guests.”

The interiors of Nota were designed by Tara Bernerd to blend into the larger residential concept at The Perigon. The design will incorporate rich materials from intricate stones to linens. The furniture will integrate a unique combination of organic materials with subtle hues that cohesively blend to the environment of coastal living on the sands of Miami Beach. The oceanfront restaurant will accommodate up to 70 guests, with service extending to the pool deck.

The speakeasy, FiftyThree, will experiment with bold colors and patterns, embracing a whiskey themed palate. Darker browns and greens will set a more intimate mood, featuring bronze fixtures and accents creating the perfect nighttime setting. The cocktails will also embody the more playful aesthetic, while focusing on fresh ingredients and creative curations.

The Perigon’s food and beverage concept represents Chef Hergatt’s triumphant return to South Florida. Chef Hergatt first debuted in Miami in 2005 when he was the executive chef at The Setai Miami Beach. Hailing from Australia but having worked at restaurants around the world garnering international accolades for culinary craftsmanship, Chef Hergatt is known for two of his Michelin star restaurants, Juni and Vestry, and previously SHO Shaun Hergatt, which garnered acclaim for its geographically inspired dishes. Today, one of Chef Hergatt’s many restaurants is the Caviar Bar in Las Vegas. Many of his most famed dishes are inspired by his travels and surroundings, an approach he will bring to The Perigon.

Completing the culinary experience at The Perigon will be several additional private amenity spaces for dining and lounging. An indoor-outdoor conservatory doubling as a breakfast lounge and terrace will host residents for their early morning coffee. Here, a barista will be available upon request to serve hot or iced coffee to a resident’s liking. Residents can also request meals be delivered directly to their private residence or to their poolside cabana.

Further elevating the experience at The Perigon is a new private concierge partnership with BHB Private Concierge, a premium provider servicing private properties and clients. In addition to offering residents seamless experiences tailored to their individual wants and needs, the concierge at The Perigon will further enhance the programming throughout the amenity suites. To begin living The Perigon lifestyle before stepping foot inside, residents will have access to select services provided by BHB Private Concierge shortly after contract signing.

Located at 5333 Collins Avenue along the tranquil 200-foot stretch of sand between Indian Creek and the Atlantic Ocean, The Perigon comprises 73 two- to four-bedroom condominiums ranging from 2,100 to 6,700 square feet, with eight private guest suites offered to residents only. With an overall 20,000 square feet of amenities that provide both exclusivity and an idyllic setting for connection and socializing, the building is elevating a palatial lifestyle evocative of a five-star hotel. Pricing starts at $4.15 million with completion slated for 2025.

Sales and marketing are exclusively overseen by Douglas Elliman Development Marketing.

The St. Regis Residences, Miami 'Wow' With Curated Lifestyle Amenities

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.

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.

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.

Priced from the $400,000s, studios to four-bedroom townhomes range from about 525 to 2,190 interior square feet.

“We underwent an extensive design process, which included traveling to Italy to visit Il Salone Di Mobile which is the most important design fair to incorporate the most cutting-edge elements throughout the property. Both within the residences and shared amenity spaces, it is important that we deliver a project that speaks to both the buyer and user,” said Ana Christina DeFortuna, Executive Vice President of Fortune International Group. “In studying the audience for Nexo Residences, combined with its prime North Miami Beach location, it was necessary to consider a tech-forward destination that incorporates sustainability with contemporary materials, while making social gathering spaces the highlight of the property.”

The project is designed by Frankel Benayoun Architects Inc, with consultation from internationally-renowned architect Carlos Ott. Its common areas, residence interiors, and landscaping are curated by Urban Robot, the local, full-service design collective behind some of the city’s leading hotels and retail concepts, including W Hotel South Beach, the Gucci Flagship in Miami’s Design District, and Oasis Wynwood. The amenity program was purposefully designed to activate spaces that inspire connectivity within the community.

A rooftop observatory deck will be perfect for scenic experiences, enjoying the expansive open vistas of the neighborhood treetops and water views. The space will be regularly activated as a central area for socializing, complete with a fire pit, dining and cooking area and a refuge for stargazing.

Blending the necessities of remote work life with inspiration from South Florida as a year-round vacation destination, Nexo Residences’ suite of amenities includes a two-story arrival lobby and lounge, which will be an impressive visual experience upon entry to the building. The property’s contemporary design extends onto an outdoor children’s playground. Catering to the modern family, it is a kid’s haven of fitness and activity surrounded by striking architecture and lush greenery. Health enthusiasts can relish the indoor/outdoor fitness center with a yoga studio and virtual trainer and a luxury pool deck complete with resort-inspired pool and two spa pools with loungers.

DRA Advisors and CP Group Acquire Iconic Office Building 'Miami Tower' In Downtown Miami For $163.5 Million

DRA Advisors and CP Group have acquired Miami Tower, a 627,152-square-foot trophy office tower in Downtown Miami’s Central Business District for $163.5 million. Mike Davis, Dominic Montazemi, Mike McDonald, Miguel Alcivar, Rick Brugge, Rick Colon, and Adam Spies of Cushman & Wakefield represented the seller, USPO Miami, LLC, in the transaction. Jason Hochman and Ron Granite of Cushman & Wakefield also arranged the acquisition financing through PGIM on behalf of the buyer, DRA Advisors and CP Group.

“Miami Tower is a hallmark icon of the Miami skyline with a storied history,” said Montazemi, Executive Managing Director at Cushman & Wakefield. “CP Group together with DRA have a vision to elevate the asset with significant capital investment and plans for modernizations that will place Miami Tower as a category-defining option for tenants seeking the very best transit-oriented workplace solutions together with state-of-the-art on-site amenities.

Additionally, “The asset’s live-work-play environment and location in an area that has had more than $23 billion worth of recent development happening will continue to attract interest from established businesses in and outside of Florida,” said Davis, Executive Vice Chair at Cushman & Wakefield.

Located at 100 SE 2nd St., Miami Tower is a trophy asset that spans 47 stories and is currently 67% occupied while historically averaging 90% or better. The office tower features a unique triple-tiered light display and best-in-class amenities such as an on-site conference center, fitness facility, Sky Lobby and Sky Terrace event space, ground floor retail, and adjacent Hyatt Regency Miami Hotel. It’s also the only office building in Miami that is fully connected into the city’s public transit system with an integrated Metromover station, which provides nearly immediate access to Miami Central station.

Miami Tower has been a critical part of the city’s public and business community since it was built in 1987, and significant capital has been invested in renovation projects over the years to maintain it. Under new ownership, the office tower offers potential value-add through further enhancements to its amenities.

Mr. C Residences Coconut Grove Reveals New Amenities Design By Meyer Davis And Arquitectonica

Mr. C Residences Coconut Grove has revealed the next phase of amenity offerings with a brand-new rooftop pool deck and bar, billiards library and lounge space. The new spaces are inspired by the iconic glamour of 1950s Italian Riviera and Miami’s distinctive interpretation of Art Deco. Designed by Meyer Davis and Arquitectonica, the additions will elevate the already-luxurious residences amid a buyer shift that expects fully equipped personal sanctuaries from their future homes.

“We are excited to unveil our design for the new amenities, alongside such an esteemed team of creative minds. As inspiration, we combined Mr. C’s lifestyle and the boldness of Miami with our refined design sensibility and attention to detail. The quality, palette and aesthetic of the new additions are bar none,” says Will Meyer, co-founder of Meyer Davis.

The secluded rooftop pool deck features views of the city and bay, complimentary towel service, a private Bellini bar and pool lounge. The design has an inherent connection to water, the culture of sailing and boating as well as the natural beauty of Coconut Grove. Blue hues dominate between the water and sky, while green is incorporated through foliage. Warm bronze-toned mullions are a nod to the highly polished wood of luxury yachts. Rooftop elements are architecturally designed with sweeping curvilinear gestures that address long-distance clarity, while offering access to both sun and shade.

A new generation of high-design, comfy lounge seating and cutting-edge collaboration is brought together in an inviting setting for the new billiards library. The amenity exhibits Mr. C’s signature style as a contemporary take on Old World sophistication and modern comfort infused with the maritime tradition of Coconut Grove. With navy blue, light cream and wooden tones running through the space, the billiards feature private offices, a board room, pool tables and seating areas. The area highlights floor-to-ceiling windows, giving the design elements an impeccable view as the backdrop.

Design continuity carries over from the billiards to the casual lounge with color scheme, rich materials, finishes and master craftsmanship throughout both spaces. The shared social space calls for relaxing, hosting dinner parties or working and connects to nature with a communal outdoor balcony and patio.

The project broke ground on July 2020 and is being developed by Terra, led by David Martin, and fourth generation Cipriani brothers, Ignazio and Maggio, Co-Founders of the Mr. C brand. The 20-story tower, located at 2655 S. Bayshore Drive, will mark the first-ever, large-scale residential project for the Mr. C brand, introducing a new level of residential living that will complement Coconut Grove’s appeal as a thriving residential, restaurant, and commercial neighborhood. Sales at Mr. C Residences launched in February 2020 led by Douglas Elliman. Units are priced from the low $600,000’s to over $5 million.

The Arquitectonica-designed luxury, high-rise with interiors designed by international designer Meyer Davis, is comprised of 118 sophisticated residences ranging in size from one to five bedrooms, spanning 650 to 3,645 square feet. Inspired by the Mr. C brand, interiors reflect maritime influences with laminated wood paneling and nautical blues and touches of Miami’s vibrant scene. Residential units feature open floor plans, 11-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, private terraces, and custom Italian design influences.

The lifestyle-driven development features an expansive list of amenities including a signature Mr. C Café, specialty gourmet marketplace, wellness lounge and juice bar, private Bellini Bar on the pool deck, in-home delivery from the Mr. C Café, butler service and nautical concierge services. An entire floor is dedicated to body-and-mind wellness spaces, from whole-body fitness zones with personal trainers and specialty classes to a signature spa with treatments rooms, indoor yoga, Peloton studio, steam and sauna rooms, as well as poolside and cabana services. Other highlights include pool bar and event lounge, garden-level lap pool, billiard rooms, library and screening lounge, Little C’s Learning and Adventure Lab, teen game rooms and business lounge with meeting rooms.

Integra Investments Acquires Sea Isle Marina Home of Miami International Boat Show in Arts & Entertainment District

Miami-based real estate investment and development firm Integra Investments, under its “Integra Marinas” platform, announced the acquisition of one of the highest-profile marinas in Miami’s urban core, Sea Isle Marina. Sea Isle Marina is the new home to the world’s largest boat and yacht event, Miami International Boat Show. Integra Marinas acquired Sea Isle Marina from Florida East Coast Realty, LLC, the original developer of the property. Terms of the sale were not disclosed.

Located at 1635 N. Bayshore Drive, in Miami’s Arts & Entertainment District, Integra Marinas plans to invest significantly in converting the marina into a world-class boating destination. Repositioning the asset will elevate the mariner experience on property and establish the site as the ultimate home for the globally recognized boat show and its nearly 100,000 annual patrons.

As part of the asset upgrade, Integra Marinas will replace and renovate all portions of the marina. This includes reconfiguring wet slips to harbor vessels up to 110 feet and enhancing current on-site services with the addition of lift slips, state-of-the-art boating technology, a new fuel system and superior onsite service. Oasis Marinas will be managing the property for Integra Marinas.

“Sea Isle Marina’s unparalleled location and fundamentals offer tremendous opportunity to capitalize on Integra Marina’s unique formula to own, operate and turn around a marina property to reach peak performance,” said Integra Investments Principal Victor Ballestas. “As an avid boater and growing up on the water, I visited Sea Isle often and look forward to being a part of its transformation.”

By land, Sea Isle Marina’s prime address affords direct access to downtown Miami and major interstates, while by sea, boaters enjoy unrestricted access to the bay and ocean via the Intracoastal Waterway. The full-service marina currently includes 222 wet slips that can accommodate 40 to 100 feet vessels, long- and short-term docking, and includes a fueling station and supply store.

Integra Marinas possesses expertise in the marina sector as an owner/operator and upland developer, and is one of the only true, turn-key marina and real estate developers in the marketplace. Focused on value-add opportunities in key coastal markets in Florida and beyond, the firm has strategically deployed millions in capital investments to convert existing marinas into high-performing assets, successfully maximizing revenue and profitability. The company’s portfolio also includes Westshore Yacht Club Marina in Tampa and Stock Island Yacht Club and Marina in Key West.

“With ongoing demand for marina redevelopment amongst those investing in this space, the acquisition of this trophy marina asset marks our strategic growth trajectory in coastal markets and strengthens our competitive position in the sector,” said Integra Marinas Principal Matthew Juall.

First New Miami Building Breaks Ground in 2021

On Thursday, February 11th, Natiivo Miami - the first building purposefully designed, built and licensed for homesharing - officially broke ground in Downtown Miami. This event marked the first residential/hospitality groundbreaking post-pandemic and the first of 2021.  The building, in the heart of Downtown Miami, is slated to top off in August 2022 and completion is projected for Q3 of 2023.

Hospitality entrepreneurs Keith Menin and Marisa Galbut, developers of Natiivo Miami, spoke alongside Mayor Suarez to brokers, friends and family to mark this revolutionary development’s milestone of forging ahead with construction. Remarks were also made by Russell Galbut, Managing Principal of GFO Investments; and leaders from Natiivo’s exclusive sales team, Cervera Real Estate, including Alicia Cervera, Managing Partner;  Ali Paysse Cervera, Sales Director; and Jesse Ottley, President of Development.

Guests enjoyed live music by Brothers of Others, and coffee, pastries and light bites by Natiivo Miami’s culinary partners, Bodega and Dolce Italian. 

After coming to market in the summer of 2019, Natiivo™ Miami’s exclusive sales team, Cervera Real Estate, has successfully sold over 60 percent of the Natiivo™ Miami residences. The team has leveraged its knowledge of the Miami market and international experience, selling over 220 units in 2020, despite facing unprecedented circumstances.

Natiivo™ Miami is a vertically-integrated community that incorporates 448 condominium residences, 140 condominium hotel residences, a 100 unit hotel, a private social club called Natiivo™ Social, with 70,000 plus square feet of amenities, with a culinary experience curated by LDV Hospitality, and Creative HQ that includes 127 for-sale office condos, all under one roof. The development recently announced the addition of three coveted Miami brands, Dolce Mercato, also from LDV Hospitality, offering authentic Italian cuisine with the feel of a sophisticated food hall and the charm and service of a sit-down restaurant; Bodega Taqueria, South Florida’s iconic spot known for its authentic Mexican street food; and Gale Miami Hotel and Residences, the third Gale Hotel property in South Florida.

“With the migration to South Florida and the recent announcements of high-profile tech and finance companies relocating to and expressing interest in Miami, the continued growth of Downtown is imminent,” said Keith Menin. “We are confident that Natiivo™ Miami will play an integral role in this growth and are excited to forge ahead in construction. We’re optimistic for 2021 and hope to set the tone for the Downtown Miami market with the first groundbreaking of the year.”
