Honoring Tradition, Defining the Future: The St. Regis Residences, Miami

The St. Regis New York, founded by the visionary John Jacob Astor IV in 1904, played a pivotal role in the evolution of New York City’s Fifth Avenue. Rising as the tallest structure of its time, this architectural masterpiece not only reshaped Manhattan’s skyline, but also served as a pioneering model for innovation and excellence that revolutionized the hospitality industry.

Today, that timeless legacy is being carried forward by industry leaders Related Group (Related) and Integra Investments (Integra) with The St. Regis Residences, Miami (The Residences).

Nestled along Miami's prestigious Brickell Avenue, this once-in-a-generation tower stands as an emblem of grandeur, creating an awe-inspiring and instantly recognizable icon that marks the most exclusive development in the sought-after South Brickell neighborhood. The Residences’ boutique format features only 152 condominium homes spread across 50 stories.

Every inch of the tower is being painstakingly curated and manicured, designed by a visionary team, with architecture by the esteemed Robert A.M. Stern Architects (RAMSA) and interiors by the highly acclaimed Rockwell Group. As RAMSA’s first residential development in South Florida, the team leaned into their signature modern classicism style, drawing inspiration from elegant gold-age ocean liners at sea. The end-result is a stunning monolith with a sweeping bell-shaped footprint, evoking Miami's Art Deco heritage while embracing a modern aesthetic.

"At The Residences, the rich legacy of St. Regis Hotels & Resorts is embraced in its entirety. Beyond mere design and development, the brand's ethos manifests through access to iconic services and timeless traditions,” says Nick Pérez, President of Related Group’s Condominium Division. “Not only will residents be able to enjoy the hotel flag’s established services, including its afternoon teas and midnight suppers, they’ll also have access to a modern interpretation of the Gilded Age butler service offered at the flagship hotel in New York City.”

Buyers can choose from a variety of floor plans, including lavish sky villas, top of the line penthouses and even two stand-alone homes.

Each condominium home, ranging from two to six bedrooms, is adorned with lavish finishes throughout. The grand floor plans include private elevators and entry foyers, double-door entry, European flooring throughout, integrated smart home technology, as well as oversized walk-in closets, spa-like bathrooms and more. The kitchens are perfect for entertaining, equipped with top-of-the-line Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, custom Italian cabinetry designed by Rockwell Group, and imported natural stone countertops and backsplashes.

Residents will experience one of the most robust amenity packages on the market, with more than 50,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor spaces, including a professional-grade fitness center with a pilates and yoga studio; a full-size pickleball court; a private marina; a world-class spa and holistic wellness center; an indoor lap pool; and the iconic St. Regis Tea Room.

Within the Canaletto Collection there will be six penthouses, each of which exude the high caliber design associated with the Cipriani brand.

The Canaletto Collection’s two- to five-bedroom residences offer an unrivaled living experience, boasting thoughtful, streamlined design customizations from whole home automation systems to book-matched marble in the primary bathrooms.

The residences will also come fully wired to house a Lutron home automation system that will ultimately allow residents to control all electronic aspects of their home, such as lighting, security systems and audio.

The exclusive opportunities for further customization options differentiate the Canaletto Collection. 1508 London has designed custom furniture and accessories for the homes, as well as curated two upgraded, for-purchase interior packages for its residents – the ‘Tradizionale’, the signature Cipriani style, and a more contemporary one, the ‘Contemporaneo’.

A speakeasy on the 37th floor inspired by the original Harry’s Bar in Venice will offer them priority access, while a dedicated Cipriani concierge is at their disposal to coordinate direct reservations and inquiries as well as provide bespoke services and accommodations around the world. The lifestyle has been carefully curated to build upon the tower’s celebrated location in the heart of Miami’s Financial District and attract the most discerning of buyers.

The park also features a memorial created from one of the last remaining steel beams unearthed from the ruins of the World Trade Center.

A ceremony took place on Monday, May 1st at 11 a.m., including the Hollo family, friends, and team members. Dignitaries from the City of Miami and Miami-Dade County officially honored Tibor and Sheila Hollo as another example of the vast amount of time and resources that they have invested in the redevelopment of the Brickell corridor. Representative Carlos Gimenez recognized Mr. and Mrs. Hollo with a key to the city and a proclamation, stating that May 1st is now “Tibor and Sheila Hollo Day” in Brickell.

“We love the vibrant Brickell area and the hustle-bustle of its live-work-play environment, but there is always room for a restful, quiet greenspace for the public to enjoy,” said Sheila Hollo, philanthropist, community leader, mother, and grandmother.

In 2014, the Tibor and Sheila Hollo Charitable Foundation donated the funds necessary to acquire the land and pay for park improvements. Former City of Miami Commissioner Marc Sarnoff pushed to get the park redesigned and constructed for the Brickell community at the time.

The Hollo family, founders of Florida East Coast Realty (FECR), were early visionaries of the redevelopment of Brickell, Downtown Miami, and the Omni District. Founded over 60 years ago by Tibor Hollo, Florida East Coast Realty (FECR) has built more than 60 million square feet of construction, consisting of landmark residential and commercial high-rises, single-family homes, government buildings, marinas, high-end retail centers, warehouse complexes, and telecommunications centers. The company has developed, owned, and managed a wide array of properties, with sustained growth in multiple real estate sectors. With new ideas and ambitious projects on the drawing board, the Hollo family and the entire FECR team are eager and ready to continue innovating, pushing boundaries, and reshaping the Miami skyline for many years to come.
