Related Group's Casa Bella Residences by B&B Italia Sets Record Price Per Square Foot With $12.6 Million Penthouse Contract

Miami-based real estate developer Related Group and partner Alta Developers have signed a contract for a 54th-floor, 5,893-square-foot triplex penthouse at Casa Bella Residences by B&B Italia for $12.6 million, or $2,138 per square foot, signifying what will be the most expensive condominium sale on a price-per-square-foot basis in Downtown Miami’s highly desirable Arts and Cultural District. Casa Bella Residences by B&B Italia has achieved nearly $50 million in signed contracts over the past 60 days. Fortune International Realty is the building’s exclusive sales and marketing agent with a sales team led by Olga Monson. Maribele Faura of Coldwell Banker represented the buyer in the penthouse sale. Demolition of the Casa Bella site is underway with the groundbreaking anticipated for Summer 2023.

“Related takes pride in creating exceptional residential properties that stand out from the rest. Casa Bella exemplifies this philosophy with two defining features: an unbeatable location in the heart of Miami’s city center, and an elegant Italian-inspired design envisioned by B&B Italia’s very own Piero Lissoni,” says Nick Pérez, President of Related’s Condominium Division. “The recent surge in sales activity is a testament to the major appeal this project has among buyers who recognize its inherent design quality, as well as the remarkable benefits associated with the burgeoning growth of Downtown Miami’s urban core.”

Casa Bella represents the first residential partnership for the famed Italian design house, B&B Italia, known around the world for its high-end collaborations with legacy brands such as Rolex, Hermès and Rolls-Royce. With architecture by Arquitectonica and interiors by renowned designer Piero Lissoni — who also serves as creative director for B&B Italia — and the B&B Italia team, every aspect of the building is envisioned as an oasis, offering a refined Miami aesthetic rooted in contemporary Italian design.

The 56-story tower offers 317 residences ranging from one to four bedrooms, all of which feature soaring ceilings, sweeping views, private elevator access, state-of-the-art kitchens with Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances and an exquisite selection of European-fixtures. Casa Bella’s Penthouse Collection comprises 10 exquisitely-designed homes with seven distinct floor plans, the crown jewel of which is a pair of 54th-floor triplex residences with private rooftop terraces, each featuring spa pools and indoor/outdoor summer kitchens with stunning water views. Of these two penthouses, the remaining triplex is available for $12.3 million. The 54th-floor is also home to two outstanding duplex penthouses, spanning 4,100 and 4,560 square feet and priced between $8 million and $10 million.

To further elevate the residential experience, Casa Bella offers two full floors of amenities, complete with spaces overlooking Biscayne Bay. These spaces range from a spacious party room to a wine vault and tasting lounge, as well as a top-of-the-line private theater and co-working spaces. A world-class Wellness Center caters to fitness-minded residents, featuring professional-level equipment, as well as dedicated yoga and spin rooms, while the spa facilities offer an array of on-demand services including massages, facials, blowouts and manicure/pedicures.

Outdoors, landscape architect Enzo Enea envisioned a pool deck with lush Italian-inspired gardens to create an oasis within Downtown Miami. The 80-foot lap pool is surrounded by private cabanas and shaded lounge areas, as well as an open-air lawn for yoga and meditation. A poolside bar and Mediterranean café will have light bites and refreshments on offer. On the 56th floor, residents can access the tower’s rooftop pool and terrace, which is complete with a state-of-the-art observatory.

A personal concierge is available to assist residents on or offsite. Services include housekeeping, grocery shopping and delivery, dry cleaning and laundry, nanny and childcare, overnight shoe-shining, pet care services and personal tech support. For added ease, residents will have the opportunity to work directly with B&B Italia’s celebrated designers to outfit their units. B&B Italia will offer move-in-ready packages with furnishings and décor for each floor plan type. There is also the opportunity for buyers and designers to personalize their units using pieces from B&B Italia collections.

Located at 1400 Biscayne, Casa Bella offers a prime location in the Arts and Cultural District, which is coming into its own as the heart of Miami’s “New Downtown.” The property offers buyers ease of access to nearby hotspots such as the Pérez Art Museum Miami, Frost Museum of Science, the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts and Keseya Center.

Related Group Breaks Ground on Nearly Sold-Out Oceanfront Casamar Residences In Pompano Beach

Related Group has broken ground on Pompano Beach’s newest beachside condominium, Casamar Residences, as the building nears sell-out. Set upon nearly 300 feet of pristine white sand, the boutique luxury property will house only 119 oceanfront condos with world-class designs by the award-winning Arquitectonica and The Rockwell Group. With completion expected in 2025, only select units remain.

Casamar Residences marks the second of Related’s developments in Pompano Beach, following the success of sister property, Solemar. Launched in March 2020 and now fully sold-out, the firm’s maiden Pompano Beach project helped establish the seaside village as one of South Florida’s most promising markets, setting up Casamar to be a resounding success in the process.

“We launched sales on Solemar days before the COVID pandemic shut the world down. While many developers took a step back, we doubled down knowing that we had something special on our hands,” said Nick Perez, President of the Related Group’s condominium division. “Thanks to that decision, Pompano Beach is now discussed in the same light as Fort Lauderdale and West Palm - it’s been really incredible. We look forward to continuing to support Pompano’s thoughtful progress through Casamar and subsequent projects.”

Set upon 283 feet of oceanfront, Casamar is Pompano Beach’s newest luxury condominium offering a boutique, on-the-water living experience unlike any other. The 21-story Casamar draws inspiration from the Atlantic Ocean’s turquoise waters to immerse residents in a tranquil, resort-like lifestyle.

The focus on life on the sand and sea extends to the wellness-forward amenity package, which features luxuries such as sunrise and sunset pools, a Promenade Lounge where residents and guests can relax and entertain, a state-of-the-art fitness center with his and her saunas, as well as several open-air lounges. Sports fans can enjoy the virtual reality golf simulator room, regulation-size pickleball court, as well as access to a variety of aquatic activities. Residents and guests will also enjoy personalized, 24/7 concierge services.

Floor plans start at $1.8 million, ranging from 1,000 to 3,900 square feet. Each unit comes equipped with private elevators opening directly into the residence and open layouts with stunning, floor-to-ceiling windows allowing for maximum natural light and endless views of Downtown Pompano, the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterways. Each turn-key residence also includes spacious master bathrooms and Chef’s kitchens designed with Italian cabinetry and Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances.

“Pompano Beach sits right in between South Florida’s major markets of Miami, Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach. It’s a hidden gem that gives residents access to everything this region has to offer, but at more attainable prices,” said Wendy Marks Pine, Sales Director for the Related Group. “What many thought was a short-term trend has become a full-blown movement. Make no mistake - Pompano Beach is here to stay.”

The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Naples Reaches 50% Pre-Construction Sell-Out With $250 Million in Sales in 90 Days

The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Naples, one of the most widely-anticipated signature enclave to be unveiled along Florida’s Gulf Coast, is now 50% sold with half of the project’s residences now under contract, realized in about three months since the official January 2023 launch. The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Naples is being developed by Naples-based STOCK Residences, the luxury condominium division of STOCK Development.

In total, the development comprises just 128 homes and penthouses, spread throughout five boutique buildings, giving the lush, six-acre property an inimitable abundance of privacy, space, and exclusivity. The initial release consisted of 108 dwellings within the project’s Bay and Tower properties.

Pre-construction sales at The Residences, which currently exceed $250 million, have outpaced the surrounding area’s ultra-luxury condominium market. The nationally recognized, award-winning STOCK attributes the unprecedented demand to the boutique-style community’s idyllic waterfront setting and adjacency to Vanderbilt Beach, bespoke concierge services and 50,000+ square feet of state-of-the-art amenities managed by The Ritz-Carlton, private full-service marina and amenity-rich park, and generously sized designer homes.

“To reach the 50% sold milestone in a matter of three months speaks volumes about this development and the confidence our Owners have in our product and the matchless excellence of The Ritz-Carlton,” said Brian Stock, CEO of STOCK Development. “This is brand-new construction in one of Naples’ most sought-after waterfront locations -- a neighborhood where there is virtually no opportunity to buy new or even build new. In addition to these estate-like homes and high-end amenities, which are hallmarks of STOCK’s 20+ years of industry success, our buyers, who span the globe, know that a myriad of high-touch comforts and conveniences will be at their beck-and-call.”

Well-sited at the intersection of Vanderbilt Beach Road and Gulf Shore Drive, The Residences are flanked by Vanderbilt Beach and the Gulf of Mexico to the west and Vanderbilt Lagoon to the north, offering Owners direct access to unparalleled waterfront amenities and services. Highlights in each of the homes and penthouses, which currently start at $3.7 million, include expansive terraces, contemporary European-style kitchens and baths, Cambria quartz countertops, 10 to 12-foot ceilings, Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, porcelain and wood floors, and private elevator entrances.

The Residences’ architecture and designs have been uniquely inspired by the unspoiled beauty that surrounds them.  Under STOCK’s direction, a trio of visionaries has crafted the haven-like retreat: Curts Gaines Hall Jones (CGHJ) Architects, internationally renowned interior designer Cristian Pinedo of SUSURRUS, and landscape architectural firm Booth Design Group. 

In addition to an exclusive concierge, a 22-slip marina, and verdant park with walking trails, a putting green, and covered pavilions, amenities at The Residences will include The Vanderbilt Club -- a 28,000-square-foot club with a Grand Owner’s atrium and lobby lounge, private restaurant, business center and coffee lounge, state-of-the-art fitness center, and a full-service spa -- a kids’ room, a teen room with a Formula 1 simulator, and a club lounge with a golf simulator and private theater, among other features.   The project will also have 22,000 square feet of outdoor amenities, including a resort-style pool, lap pool, cabana suites, and fire pits. The Residences are furthermore located directly between Naples’ two existing Ritz-Carlton hotels -- both of which are approximately three miles apart.

“No one knows luxury lifestyle amenities better than STOCK, so our collaboration with this exceptional brand could not be a better pairing,” added Claudine Leger-Wetzel, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for STOCK Development. “Our team has spent years painstakingly developing this project, ensuring that it is the premier homestead for those seeking extraordinary, resort-style living in a private coastal setting.”

Suffolk Construction is the general contractor, while engineering is being overseen by J.R. Evans Engineering. The pre-construction phase of the community is already underway at the site, with delivery anticipated for 2026.    

The Residences’ lavish sales gallery is located at 2355 Vanderbilt Beach Rd., Suite 106.

Newgard Development Group Partners With YUPIX To Bring Immersive Meta-Reality Tours to LOFTY Brickell

Forward-thinking real estate developer Newgard Development Group continues to innovate and enhance the luxury residential preconstruction experience. In the latest example, Newgard is partnering with immersive technology platform YUPIX to offer meta-reality tours of its LOFTY Brickell.

LOFTY is a 44-story waterfront luxury condominium high-rise under development on the Miami River in the heart of Miami’s financial district. The most elevated offering in Newgard’s flexible ownership concept, LOFTY is already one of the Miami condo market’s most successfully sold buildings. This new collaboration with YUPIX promises to take interest in LOFTY to even greater heights.

Through the partnership, a representative from Cervera Real Estate – the exclusive sales and marketing partner for LOFTY – will be on-site at YUPIX’s Wynwood facility to guide real estate agents and prospective buyers through the surreal multisensory experience.

“The term gamechanger is overused, but YUPIX is truly changing the game when it comes to preconstruction sales,” said Cervera Real Estate Managing Partner Alicia Cervera Lamadrid. “Buyers are increasingly more discerning when considering where to purchase in Miami. Having the ability to take someone inside a luxury building long before its completion is a major competitive advantage for a project like LOFTY.”

YUPIX’s disruptive technology gives participants a palpable feeling of walking through LOFTY’s penthouses and luxurious amenity areas, while taking in the building’s incredible views from different vantage points.

“We always strive to push boundaries and redefine what is possible through our developments,” said Newgard Development Group CEO Harvey Hernandez. “Partnering with YUPIX accomplishes that and showcases LOFTY in a new and innovative way. The LOFTY team cannot wait to welcome our buyers to the LOFTY metaverse.”

Located directly across from Brickell City Centre, LOFTY is the next evolution of condo ownership, conceived to bring a 5-star alternative for the owner and traveler that might prefer to stay and own differently – yet does not want to compromise on the services and amenities of a hotel. Each residence will be delivered fully finished and furnished and, with professional management, will permit short-term rentals.

The tower will feature the first-ever NFT art collection designed for condo owners, integrating digital art into the DNA of the new residential building, while transferring ownership of a custom NFT to each unit owner at closing.

INC, the multi-disciplinary INC Studio responsible for LOFTY’s 44 stories of swanky interiors. Urban Robot Associates is the landscape architect.

Chicago-Based Regency Development Group Launches Kobi Karp-Designed La Maré Bay Harbor Islands

Chicago-based Regency Development Group has launched La Maré, an exclusive collection of two light-filled modern contemporary boutique residential buildings in Bay Harbor Islands. La Maré features the 33-unit Regency Collection and the 9-unit Signature Collection, featuring vertically stacked tropical luxury villas designed by world-renowned architect Kobi Karp, while Brazil-based Debora Aguiar Arquietetos, known for her design of 1 Hotel South Beach among others, leads the interior design. La Maré represents Regency Development Group’s first project in the South Florida market. Groundbreaking is expected for later this year and completion is expected in 2025. Residences will range from $1.375 million to $8 million.

“With recycled materials as the foundation, the design ethos is centered around its honoring natural surroundings - water and its movement – to create an ongoing connection to the environment,” said Kobi Karp. “The positioning of each building on the island is intentionally set to optimize sunlight and natural air flow through each residence, while the glass enwrapped LEED certified spaces accentuate peak sunrise and sunset views.”

“We’re creating sky villas that provide families with expansive living and entertainment spaces right on the water in a pocket of Miami that provides everything families desire, from top dining options to one of the top-ranked schools in Miami-Dade County,” said Michael Troyanovsky, Managing Partner of Regency Development Group. “As a company that is family-run, we value and understand what families are looking for in South Florida.”

The eight-story Regency Collection glass-clad modern boutique building will feature 33 residences. Soft interiors frame the panoramic ocean blues by nine-to-10-foot floor-to-ceiling windows that open out to expansive wraparound outdoor living spaces. The residences with direct private elevator access will range from two bedrooms, two baths to four bedrooms, four and a half baths with 1,600 to more than 4,000 square feet of living space. On the second floor, two prestigious 4,200 square feet Bay Villas adorn the north and south corners featuring spiral staircases that lead down to the ground deck with their own individual pools and summer kitchens. Four penthouses top the building, of which two are flow-through corner residences with access to their own private rooftop pools and summer kitchens.

Exclusive building amenities for the Regency Collection include a state-of-the-art fitness center and residential lounge for group gatherings and screenings.

“I liken La Maré’s Regency Collection to a Harlequin butterfly that opens up in both east and west directions,” said Kobi Karp, founder and principal of Kobi Karp Architects. “This design creates flow-through residences with three glass wraparound windows that bring the outdoors in.”

This eight-story Signature Collection building will feature an exclusive collection of only nine residences thoughtfully designed for families with privacy at the forefront, ranging from 2,100 to more than 4,200 square feet. The top four floors will be comprised of one residence per floor with four bedrooms and four and a half baths. The rest of the building will offer three-bedroom residences and one standout residence will be at the lobby level with private access to the waterfront sundeck.

Exclusive Signature Collection building amenities include a state-of-the-art fitness center, a wine cellar and outdoor kitchen and bar lounge. Residences will range from $2.875 million to $6.3 million. Groundbreaking is planned for later this year and completion is expected in late 2024.

Inspired by the movement of water, The Signature and Regency Collections will offer bayfront verandas and outdoor spaces with landscaping, boat slips, lounge areas and a resort-style rooftop pool deck that will have a pool, jacuzzi and lounge chairs.

Designed to be LEED certified and blend with the neighborhood of Bay Harbor, the low impact all-glass buildings will be constructed on elevated pilings that allow the buildings to be independent of high and low tides to adhere to the everchanging climate of South Florida.

The orientation of the buildings is designed to reduce carbon footprint by minimizing energy loads and maximizing natural sunlight. By incorporating all-glass balcony shadow boxes, its architecture plays with the sunlight to reduce solar gain and maintain a cool temperature throughout the building.

Green rooftops with tree canopies, open green lounge areas and a pool will be built to create a third place for residents to connect and entertain all while doubling as building insulators. The green rooftops will be built on raised wood-like decks made from recycled plastic lifted off the concrete roof to create a natural cooling system, which reduces the use of added material for roof insulation by 70%. Its lush greenery will exclusively feature native species sustained by two-meter irrigation systems that capture and filter rainwater.

Recycled locally sourced materials are married throughout the interiors blending bleached driftwood, travertine, sand-colored natural stones, concrete and metals to create idyllic modern sprawling living areas enhanced by panoramic bay views. Other interior features include private and/or semi-private elevators, elegant custom Italian kitchen and bath fixtures by Antonio Lupi, dual shower and deep soaking tub in primary bathrooms, stone countertops, cabinetry by top-of-the-line luxury Italian brand Poliform and Miele appliances. Additional sustainable features include HEPA filtration systems and in-line heating, Insta-hots, displacing traditional hot water tanks that hold mold overtime.

The Regency Collection La Maré Residences will be located at 9927 E Bay Harbor Drive, Bay Harbor Islands, FL 33154  and the Signature Collection La Maré Residences will be located at 9781 E Bay Harbor Drive, Bay Harbor Islands, FL 33154. The Sales Gallery is at 10301 E Bay Harbor Dr. Bay Harbor Islands, FL 33154.
