Douglas Elliman Development Marketing is the exclusive sales and marketing agent for The Residences where pricing begins at $4.4 million for the condominium residences and $2 million for the resort residences.

A decade in the making, the first phase of the $2 billion development will elevate the premier megayacht marina — home to the world’s largest in-water boat show — into a world-class, Monaco-inspired lifestyle destination, complete with branded residential towers, a flagship St. Regis hotel, a private beach club, and a selection of signature fine dining and upscale retail. Sales for The St. Regis Residences, Bahia Mar, Fort Lauderdale (The Residences) are now underway.

"While Bahia Mar has attracted global yachting enthusiasts for decades with its prime location and unparalleled superyacht infrastructure, its full potential had yet to be tapped,” said Jorge M. Pérez, Chairman and CEO of Related Group. “Blending world-class residential, hospitality and lifestyle offerings, this visionary development is not only befitting of this one-of-a-kind site but also a critical addition to Fort Lauderdale’s broader evolution. With the introduction of The St. Regis Resort and Residences, Bahia Mar Fort Lauderdale, our team is cementing the city as one of the world’s luxury epicenters.”

Spanning over 40 acres of land and water, this extraordinary development will unfold in two phases, transforming the site into a tropical sanctuary. At its heart are two 23-story residential towers and a 197-key luxury hotel, all under the iconic St. Regis brand. Masterfully crafted by an elite design team, the visionary architecture is led by the renowned Arquitectonica, complemented by refined interiors from London-based Tara Bernerd & Partners, helmed by esteemed designer Tara Bernerd. The master plan includes 88,000 square feet of luxurious waterfront commercial space featuring restaurants and boat docking, a public park along the Intracoastal Waterway and a 25-foot-wide pedestrian promenade encircling the property’s west, north and south sides. An exclusive marina features slips for megayachts up to 350 feet.

“After nearly a decade of hard work, it’s incredible to see our vision finally come to life,” said Jimmy Tate. “Despite countless obstacles, we never doubted Bahia Mar’s potential. We always believed this project would elevate the entire Fort Lauderdale community, but this collaboration with St. Regis exceeds even our highest expectations.”

The first phase will feature 160 elegantly appointed condominium homes spread across the two residential towers, alongside exclusive resort residences atop the hotel. The condominiums will include three- and four-bedroom options ranging from 2,600 to 3,550 square feet, in addition to stunning penthouse residences. The homes feel like secluded villas, featuring private elevator foyers and expansive, flowing spaces. Designed for effortless living and entertaining, these light-filled residences showcase modern, open layouts and wraparound glass terraces that provide sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean, Intracoastal Waterway and Fort Lauderdale skyline. The Residences within the hotel will offer one to three bedrooms, in addition to penthouse options.

Each element of the branded residences embodies the essence of the St. Regis brand, renowned for its bespoke service and discerning taste that cultivate an exquisite lifestyle. Daily life is enriched by 17,000 square feet of interior amenities in each building designed to promote holistic wellness and create the perfect setting for unforgettable celebrations. These amenities include a luxurious spa with steam rooms, saunas, hot and cold plunges, treatment rooms and a wellness terrace; a salon offering beauty services; an indoor-outdoor fitness center; a children’s entertainment room; a library/media room; a private dining room and a billiards room. Lush terraces with summer kitchens, a private outdoor pool with a whirlpool, a pickleball court, a programmable multisport simulator and house bicycles enhance the experience.

“We’re thrilled to be collaborating with Related Group, Tate Capital and Rok Acquisitions to reimagine The St. Regis Bahia Mar Resort and Residences in Fort Lauderdale,” said Dana Jacobsohn, Chief Development Officer, North America Luxury Brands & Global Mixed-Use. “With its unparalleled waterfront location and exquisite design, this iconic property is set to transform the marina and deliver world-class luxury to travelers and residents alike.”

Owners will also have access to the resort amenities, including two resort-style swimming pools, a fitness center, an upscale spa with outdoor amenities, and a signature restaurant with dramatic water views.

Additional perks include a private residential lobby attended 24/7, a porte-cochère for enhanced privacy, on-site valet parking and self-parking options, along with private, secure climate-controlled storage, a curated collection of museum-quality art and an exclusive residents-only app.

As the home of the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS), the Bahia Mar Yachting Center is already a premier destination for yachting enthusiasts worldwide. In the summer of 2023, the development team secured rezoning and approval for the transformation of the existing Bahia Mar resort.

Miami Tropic’s architecture by Arquitectonica and interior design by Yabu Pushelberg seamlessly blends the urban tapestry of art and culture to form strong connections between the building and the people who live there. The tower's sustainably-minded architecture (Florida Green Building Design with Silver Certification) features a modern, glass façade with distinct layers and lush landscaping integrated at its base. The interiors, designed by the acclaimed BoF 500 design studio Yabu Pushelberg, offer an overwhelming sense of calm through verdant greenery, textured fabrics and natural materials. Known for their global portfolio of work including the Aman Residences, Tokyo, Edition Hotels in London, Miami, New York, and Jeddah, The Londoner in Leicester Square and La Samaritaine, Paris, among others, George Yabu and Glenn Pushelberg previously collaborated with Jean-Georges to design The Fulton by Jean-Georges in New York City.

"It has been a joyful, collaborative journey working with Terra and Jean-Georges," shared Glenn Pushelberg, co-founder of Yabu Pushelberg. "Having lived in Miami, we've witnessed the Design District's dynamic transformation firsthand. We are inspired to contribute to this pedestrian-friendly neighborhood with Miami Tropic where the city's lush, tropical environment blends with its vibrant culture," added George Yabu, co-founder of Yabu Pushelberg.

Catering to the sophistication and spontaneity of Miami buyers, Yabu Pushelberg’s interior design for Jean-Georges Miami Tropic Residences explores the intersection of joy and refinement, redefining luxury living by embracing exuberance and charm. Yabu Pushelberg placed an emphasis on light, openness, and spatial design, reflecting Miami’s unique ability to cultivate spaces that are both stimulating and tranquil. The interiors integrate shades of green and natural woods and stones, such as diabase, found in the tropics, similar to how Miami’s lush environment effortlessly blends with its art and culture-driven urban landscape. To pay homage to the Design District’s dynamic architecture, Yabu Pushelberg incorporated moments of bold, playful texture throughout Miami Tropic’s interior spaces and integrated artworks of bold color and adventurous compositions, quietly yet powerfully evoking the lush tropics.

In the residences, floor-to-ceiling glass windows flood with natural light and strengthen residents’ connection to the surrounding city. Each home offers one of two distinct color palettes: dawn, reflecting the delicate hues of early morning light, and dusk, evoking tranquility and sophistication through evening-inspired hues. Yabu Pushelberg worked closely with Jean-Georges to ensure the residential kitchens were intentionally crafted to be both functional and compelling with an expansive kitchen island, providing a culinary stage as the room’s focal point. The dawn-palette kitchens feature Crema Marfil marble countertops, orange-brown ceramic tile backsplash, warm champagne metal accents, and Italian wood cabinetry in a beachwood finish. The dusk-palette kitchens boast Green Diabaz stone countertops, dark blue ceramic tile backsplash, rubbed metal accents, and Italian wood cabinetry in a dark finish.

"We're excited to partner with David Martin and Terra on another joint venture and look forward to aligning our shared vision with Jean-Georges, Yabu Pushelberg and Arquitectonica in bringing this building to life. At Lion Development Group we specialize in world-class, community-based development projects such as Jean-Georges Miami Tropic Residences, blending hospitality, entertainment, technology, culture and the arts," said Michael Simkins, CEO of Lion Development Group.

Prominently situated on the border of Miami’s Design District in proximity to Wynwood and Midtown, Jean-Georges Miami Tropic Residences will provide future residents convenient, walkable access to luxury retail, dining, art, and culture. These colorful few blocks are accented by the artful storefronts of luxury retailers, eye-catching sculptural and architectural works like Sol Let Witt Sculpture Garden, Fly’s Eye Dome, and Daniel Toole’s Jade Alley, as well as immersive cultural experiences such as the Institute of Contemporary Art and BlackTower Gallery. The Design District is also a short walk to multiple parks and playgrounds, many of them bayfront, including Paraiso Park Paraiso, Martell Park, Roberto Clemente Park, Stearns Park and Albert Pallot Park.

Naftali Group Reveals The JEM Sky Villas With Interiors by FENDI Casa at JEM Private Residences

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.

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.
