Douglas Elliman is exclusively handling sales for the project.

“We’re thrilled to be partnering with Jean-Georges and look forward to introducing a first-of-its-kind lifestyle offering which celebrates the tropical living of South Florida while creating a true cosmopolitan experience at the center of Miami’s cultural hub,” said David Martin, CEO of Terra. “Miami Tropic residents will enjoy exceptional amenities, design and culinary experiences at their fingertips in addition to walkable, convenient access to Miami’s most distinctive and desirable neighborhoods.”

Jean-Georges Miami Tropic Residences features over 41,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor amenities thoughtfully designed for wellness, gathering and entertainment.

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.

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.
