HQ Hotels & Residences by sbe, Led by Sam Nazarian and Marc Anthony, Launch HQ Residences Miami In Edgewater, Developed by Black Salmon, The Boschetti Group and Constellation Group

In Miami, luxury real estate is defined not only by design, but by energy that moves through a space, the experiences waiting beyond each threshold and the connections that shape community. Embracing this philosophy, development partners Black Salmon, The Boschetti Group, and Constellation Group – in collaboration with HQ Hotels & Residences by sbe – have launched sales for HQ Residences Miami. This marks the first-ever residential tower from the iconic HQ brand led by hospitality visionary Sam Nazarian, with partners who include global entertainment legend Marc Anthony. Rooted in HQ’s DNA of “smart lifestyle,” the project transforms the masterminding of Nazarian’s hospitality expertise into a living experience that pulses with creativity, belonging, and the Miami rhythm.

Rising 35 stories at 422 NE 29th Street in the city’s Edgewater neighborhood, HQ Residences Miami was crafted for a life in balance, presenting 229 condominiums. Offering one- to three-bedroom layouts ranging from 721 to 2,074 square feet, along with a collection of 8 penthouses, the tower embodies a living, breathing environment, where wellness rituals, curated social moments, and sensory design exist in harmony. Residences are priced from $850,000, with sales represented exclusively by The Agency, one of the world's leading luxury brokerages, led by Mauricio Umansky and Santiago Arana.

As a next-gen lifestyle brand, HQ Residences globally launched in 2024 by sbe and strategic partners. Hotel properties include Antigua and upcoming destinations such as São Paulo and Miami, continuing to expand its footprint having now selected Miami for its residential debut. The brand reimagines traditional hotels and residences for a new generation, celebrating social hubs rooted in dining, nightlife, wellness, and immersive guest experiences that are infused with celebrities and influential partnerships. It is purpose-built for modern dwellers seeking approachable luxury, blending the vibrancy of boutique hospitality with the reach and reliability of a global network.

“HQ Residences in Edgewater is the moment we, quite literally, bring the spirit of our brand home for the first time.” said Nazarian. “From day one, HQ has been centered on building places that shape how people live and connect, and Miami is a city that embodies this vision, at the intersection of design, lifestyle, and global influence.”

HQ Residences Miami will introduce an exceptional lineup of lifestyle offerings and brand partnerships that embody the HQ philosophy. Spanning 15,756 square feet across two dedicated floors, the amenity program was built around four core pillars that define a new standard of contemporary living: Wellness, Entertainment, Community, and Art.

Level 34 is dedicated entirely to the first pillar of wellness and mindfulness. Designed by The Well Founder Kane Sarhan, the experience unfolds with health-oriented activities, from yoga and open-air training terraces to contrast therapy circuits with hammam, sauna, steam, plunge pools and bath-house treatments. A state-of-the-art fitness center supports both high-intensity and mindful recovery, while an AEScape treatment room and massage beds deliver next-level restoration. Outdoors, a resort-style pool deck with pergola lounges and panoramic city vistas blurs the line between residence and retreat.

One level above, entertainment and social life take center stage. A library and a dynamic collaboration space foster both teamwork and quiet focus, while a cutting-edge podcast studio provides a platform for idea sharing. Culinary and cultural moments are brought to life through a chef’s kitchen, designed for shared experiences, dining at TOMA Gourmet by Sofia Vergara and her son Manolo Vergara featuring wellness-forward Latin cuisine, and Jack’s NYC Coffee, the iconic New York roastery making its Miami arrival. As night falls, the vibe continues at Marc’s, a speakeasy curated by Marc Anthony, with skyline views, vinyl collections, and intimate performances. Residents also enjoy access to the HQ Social Club, an exclusive membership connecting them to curated experiences and VIP hospitality offerings across the city and beyond. Grounded in community and belonging, every touchpoint encourages meaningful connection, cultivating an experience defined by shared spirit and a profound sense of home.

“Partnering with HQ Residences allows us to help shape a community that is defining the future of urban living in Miami,” said Camilo Lopez, Managing Partner & Co-CEO of Black Salmon. “This project brings together a powerhouse collective of industry leaders—spanning architecture, development, hospitality, sales, and lifestyle programming—each contributing deep expertise that has elevated HQ Residences into a best-in-class offering crafted by the greatest minds in the business, where design and purpose align to create a true sense of wellness and life in balance.”

Designed by internationally acclaimed firm Arquitectonica, with interiors by award-winning studios DesignAgency and Craft, HQ Residences Miami exudes an “outside-in” philosophy, rooted in design, art and aesthetic harmony. The tower’s bold diagrid façade stands as a sculptural statement, while lush greenery by Enzo Enea climbs its terraces and amenity levels, establishing a vertical garden in motion. Inside, warmth and sophistication permeate every space, with tactile materials and subtle contrasts. Hand-selected marbles, sustainable woods, and refined textiles in soft, neutral tones create harmony between energy and stillness.

Within each residence, refined design meets livable luxury. Expansive terraces extend seamlessly from floor-to-ceiling windows, framing panoramic views of Biscayne Bay and Miami’s skyline while filling interiors with natural light. Open layouts enhance the sense of air and flow, creating spaces that feel both elevated and effortless. Kitchens balance performance and beauty with Italian cabinetry in warm wood tones, natural stone surfaces, and a full suite of integrated designer appliances. Spa-inspired primary bathrooms echo the project’s wellness philosophy with walk-in showers, floating-style dual vanities, and rich material palettes that evoke calm and restoration.

“Having represented some of the most extraordinary developments around the world, I can say with confidence that HQ Residences Miami is poised to become one of the city’s most sought-after addresses,” said Mauricio Umansky, Founder and CEO of The Agency. “This project captures the essence of Miami living - a holistic lifestyle that unites world-class dining, nightlife, and wellness within an unrivaled Edgewater location. We’re proud to lead sales for a development that’s redefining what it means to live, work, and play under one roof.”

Situated at the crossroads of Wynwood, the Design District, and Midtown, the tower’s Edgewater location is within one of Miami’s most dynamic cultural frontiers. Positioned along 29th Street—one of the neighborhood’s fastest-evolving corridors—HQ Residences Miami sits at the epicenter of rapid growth, surrounded by new luxury developments, the recently opened Whole Foods and next-generation offerings that are redefining the district’s urban fabric. Its centrality provides immediate access to Michelin-starred dining, gallery districts, and waterfront wellness destinations — while remaining less than 15 minutes from Miami International Airport, positioning it as the ideal residence for both local and international buyers. Elevated above the bay yet embedded within the heart of the city’s creative core, HQ Residences Miami offers a rare blend of immersion and escape within a hospitality-driven vertical ecosystem.

Witkoff Group, in partnership with Ocean Terrace Holdings, a partnership between Alex Blavatnik and Sandor Scher, has officially launched sales for Ocean Terrace, a highly anticipated oceanfront mixed-use development in North Beach, Miami Beach. With architecture by Revuelta Architecture International and interiors by RAMSA (Robert A.M. Stern Architects), Ocean Terrace offers carefully envisioned residences that embrace Miami Beach’s scenic beauty and sophisticated coastal lifestyle. Located directly on the ocean between 74th and 75th Streets with 350 feet of shoreline, the project includes a rare collection of 52 private condominium residences, and a separate tower featuring 24 resort residences all perched above curated retail spaces that enrich the local streetscape. The project also features a separate RAMSA designed historic hotel that has 42 luxury guestrooms.

“True to its name, Ocean Terrace is a development deeply connected to its surrounding ocean vistas,” said Alex Witkoff, Chief Executive Officer of Witkoff Group. “Framed by cinematic views of the water and park, the project features 350 feet of direct ocean frontage and uninterrupted views stretching a mile to the north — with amenities that float above the ground, overlooking the ocean.”

With a focus on craftsmanship and timeless design, Ocean Terrace is accentuated by signature touches from the esteemed RAMSA, also known for designing interiors for projects such as Shore Club Private Collection in Miami Beach, as well as 20 East End Avenue and 30 Park Place in New York. The residences include thoughtful finishes such as Parquet de Versailles white oak flooring, custom RAMSA-designed cabinetry, natural stone countertops and chef-caliber Gaggenau appliances, as well as unique features such as private elevators in each home. Ranging from one-bedroom-den configurations to expansive five-bedroom homes in the condo tower to fully furnished one-to four-bedroom residences and penthouses in the resort residences, the interiors combine elements of Miami Modern and Art Deco while taking inspiration from mid-century Brazilian modernism, known for its use of tropical woods, and French modernism. Each home will boast expansive private terraces and uninterrupted views of the Atlantic Ocean, lush parklands, and the Miami skyline—delivering a rare trifecta of ocean, park, and skyline views, a highly sought-after combination in South Florida.

"Our firm is known for designing buildings, but we were excited to focus our efforts at Ocean Terrace on the interior spaces,” said Paul Whalen, Partner at RAMSA. “We are creating our vision of an authentic Miami Beach life with references to the multiple modernisms that have together created the city we love."

Designed to perfectly balance discretion and connection are Ocean Terrace’s over 18,000 square feet of interior amenities. RAMSA envisioned a sculpted lobby with custom detailing, a state-of-the-art fitness center with ocean views, a curated library, and a tea room with wood-paneled walls, stone flooring, and custom antique-style millwork. Outdoors, approximately 50,000 square feet of amenity space includes a private residential porte-cochere and motor court, a resident-only sunrise lap pool, a sunset pool with cabanas and dining service, and a variety of open-air gathering spaces designed for both relaxation and social connection. Landscape design by ENEA further enhances the harmonious connection between the built environment and the native charm of North Beach.

"Ocean Terrace is a testament to our vision of enhancing North Beach with a blend of timeless architecture and modern living," said Alex Blavatnik, Co-Founder of Ocean Terrace Holdings. "From the curated amenities to the expansive oceanfront views, every detail has been thoughtfully considered to create an undisturbed residential experience that captures the essence of Miami Beach’s sophistication and natural beauty."

At the heart of Ocean Terrace lies a five-acre Raymond Jungles-designed park, a reimagined public space that blends nature, art and community. Inspired by iconic urban oases, the park features an art installation by acclaimed Parisian sculptor Prune Nourry. Now open, the park is the first part of Ocean Terrace to debut, leading a resurgence in the neighborhood and setting the tone for its transformation into a lively destination.

“With acres of beachfront, unobstructed ocean views, a world-class park, luxury retail and hospitality there is truly nothing comparable on Miami Beach," said Sandor Scher, Co-Founder of Ocean Terrace Holdings. “Our goal was to create an iconic residential development that is one-part private oasis and one-part impeccable placemaking. We set out to create a destination elevated to the highest standards while embracing its historic charm and sense of community.”

In addition to the retail, residential and hotel offerings, Ocean Terrace features an exclusive private Members Club, designed as a refined retreat for residents seeking a more intimate and personalized experience. With dedicated social, dining, and wellness spaces, the club provides a seamless extension of the Ocean Terrace atmosphere in a secluded and refined setting.

Constellation Group and The Boschetti Group Officially Open Cora Merrick Park Sales Gallery in Coral Gables

The new sales gallery for Cora Merrick Park – the first wellness-oriented residences in Coral Gables – is now officially open at 4200 Laguna Street in Coral Gables. On Tuesday, Sept. 30, developers Constellation Group and The Boschetti Group celebrated the grand opening of the gallery with Douglas Elliman Development Marketing, inaugurating the space and giving the community a sneak peek of the luxurious details and wellness features that make this project unique. Guests enjoyed live music, sipped adaptogenic cocktails and wellness elixirs, and participated in immersive demonstrations of red-light therapy panels and lymphatic compression treatments, curated by Centner Wellness. Inside the gallery, guests explored Cora’s signature finishes – natural stone, wood, and tile imported from Europe and around the world.

Designed by Arquitectonica with interiors by Urban Robot, Cora Merrick Park is delivering 74 refined residences priced from the $900,000s to over $4 million to Merrick Park – Coral Gables’ world-class shopping and dining destination. The project is directly across the street from Shops at Merrick Park, and walking distance to downtown Coral Gables and the Metrorail, and just minutes from Coconut Grove, University of Miami and Downtown Miami/Brickell.

“Cora Merrick Park is the first residential community in Coral Gables designed to integrate wellness into everyday living,” said Eduardo Otaola, Managing Principal at Constellation Group. “At the same time, it meets pent-up demand for new luxury product in Coral Gables. Cora offers a compelling alternative to the single-family home market in an irreplaceable location that delivers walkability, community, and the quality-of-life benefits that Coral Gables is known for – all in a finished turnkey-project with world-class amenities.”

Spanish wellness firm Lamarca Well, best known for creating the first wellness hub in Madrid, Spain, is overseeing Cora’s wellness programming. Key components include biophilic design, advanced air and water purification systems, noise-reducing acoustic design, non-toxic building and cleaning materials, a fitness center with a dedicated recovery area, and a spa with infrared sauna, steam room, contrast hydrotherapy (hot and cold) pools, and red-light therapy panels. Additional offerings include a resort-style roof deck pool, yoga and meditation area, lobby tearoom, and the first rooftop padel court in Coral Gables.

“At CORA Merrick Park, we believe wellness isn’t just about offering a product or service – it’s about delivering a lifestyle and creating environments that support lasting change,” said Mischka Capriles, Lamarca Well co-founder.

Lamarca and Arquitectonica will also oversee Cora’s enrollment in the International Well Building Institute (IWBI) WELL for residential program – an evidence-based, third-party certification aimed at creating healthier, more resilient homes.

Located at 4241 Aurora Street, Cora Merrick Park offers 13 unique floor plans, from one-bedrooms to expansive three-bedroom plus den residences. Each home has 10-foot ceilings, Italkraft kitchens, Sub-Zero/Wolf appliances, designer stone countertops, custom porcelain flooring, walk-in closets, and private, expansive lanais in select residences.

Cora offers a design-forward reinterpretation of the Spanish Mediterranean aesthetic through a modern, wellness-focused lens. Classic natural materials are used in novel ways to bring natural sophistication to interior spaces. Coralina stone and marble are paired with a dark stained oak – a nod to Coral Gables’ oak canopy – to create a moody, sexy color palette. Textured lime-wash walls and soft, organic stone forms – from the fluted marble lobby column to the rounded edges of the kitchen islands and bathroom vanities – foster calm and evoke a connection to nature. In the residences, a unique chevron-patterned, porcelain-tile floor from Spain’s Living Ceramics puts a contemporary spin on the classic design motif. Floor-to-ceiling windows usher in natural light to create a modern aesthetic rarely seen in the city.

Hospitality-inspired details, including a striking sculptural reception desk in the lobby and custom property fragrance, bring an added touch of European elegance. Outside, an original sculpture by celebrated Catalan visual artist Jaume Plensa anchors a lush 5,000-square-foot park, underscoring Cora’s seamless blend of art, architecture, and wellness.
