B&B Italia Is Distilling The best of Italian Living in Miami’s Downtown

Nobody does luxury quite like Italy. From unmatched gastronomy, to revered art and design, the Italian peninsula offers a sense of style unlike anywhere else in the world. 

This focus on form and beauty has long defined Italian design, whether it be in automobiles, fashion, interior design or home furnishings. Italian design always stands out, with countless attempts to emulate the Mediterranean region’s understated, yet exquisitely refined aesthetic. 

Based in Novedarte, Italy, B&B Italia is not content retreading previously explored ideas, however. Working with visionaries, like Artistic Director, Piero Lissoni, the world-renowned design house is working to reimagine the quintessential Italian ‘look’ for a new generation of connoisseurs. 

The approach has proven to be highly successful, with robust growth and an impressive stable of A-list collaborators, including iconic brands like Rolex, Piaget, Rolls Royce, Fendi, Apple and many more. 

B&B Italia is now venturing into the luxury real estate space, partnering with development powerhouses Related Group and Alta Developers, to deliver their first-ever residential property. 

Casa Bella Residences by B&B Italia is an exclusive luxury condominium located in the heart of Miami’s downtown neighborhood, just steps from the sparkling waters of Biscayne Bay. With architecture by Arquitectonica and interiors hand-curated by Piero Lissoni and the B&B Italia team, every aspect of the 55-story tower is envisioned as an oasis, offering a refined Miami aesthetic rooted in contemporary Italian design. 

We recently sat down with Francesco Farina, Chief Executive Officer for B&B Italia’s US operations to learn more about Casa Bella Residences by B&B Italia.

Why is B&B Italia venturing into branded real estate? What kind of draw does this hold for you and your team? 

Miami plays an integral role within the arts and design community. Our company believes that it is important, being a leading brand in design, to have a place to tell our story, and Casa Bella Residences by B&B Italia allows the brand to bring the exquisite experience of Italian design to life in Miami. 

Casa Bella Residences by B&B Italia is supposed to distill the very best of Italian design. What does that mean to you? 

B&B Italia continues to stand out for both its representation of contemporary culture as well as its research and innovation. There is a fruitful partnership that we have between the company’s Research and Development Center, a workshop for excellent ideas, and the best international design professionals outstanding talent, which has resulted in the creation of iconic products that have defined our brand.

This is a unique project for B&B Italia. Your team is handling furnishings while Piero Lissoni handles interior designs. Does this type of approach give your team greater creative freedom? 

This sort of approach gives us the ability to really work with Piero in a unique way outside of his role as Artistic Director for B&B Italia. Piero has played a key role across many other Related projects, which gives us a leg up of sorts. He helps us anticipate challenges unique to the development world and helps us deliver an even higher quality product. 

We cannot wait to show the world what we’ve been working on! 

B&B Italia is known around the world for its home furnishings. How are you translating that brand ethos into a full residential experience?

B&B Italia’s modern, refined aesthetic makes us feel at home in this beautiful residential tower. Distilling the best of life on the Italian peninsula, the 55-story Casa Bella will instantly transport residents away from the bustling city center. The tower is set with wide open views of Miami that are sundrenched, and encompasses the art of Italian living.  All residences feature private elevator access, soaring ceilings and panoramic water views, as well as an exquisite selection of European-fixtures and finishes. Outdoors, the pool deck is adorned with lush Italian-inspired gardens to create an oasis within Downtown Miami. Five-star service completes the residential experience including a personal concierge available to assist residents on- or offsite.

Units at Casa Bella by B&B range from $650,000 to $3.7 million for non-penthouse floorplans. For more information or to arrange a tour of the sales gallery, please visit CasaBellaResidences.com or call 305-290-1008.

Fort Partners Pays Off $210 Million Construction Loan at Four Seasons Fort Lauderdale

Miami-based development firm Fort Partners has today announced that the $210 million construction loan for the Kobi Karp-designed Four Seasons Hotel and Private Residences Fort Lauderdale has been paid off. The loan, financed by Madison Realty Capital, became the largest residential construction loan in Fort Lauderdale history when it closed in 2019, and still holds that title today.

“With the opening of the hotel, closings well underway and only a handful of residences remaining for sale, we are incredibly proud of our team at Four Seasons Fort Lauderdale,” said Nadim Ashi, Founder of Fort Partners. “Paying off this construction loan is a very important milestone for us, and comes just as the project is debuting to the world for the first time.”

Four Seasons Fort Lauderdale features 148 guest rooms and 83 residences ranging in size from one- to four-bedrooms, with each residence offering expansive living spaces and generous outdoor terraces overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and Intracoastal Waterway. The hotel celebrated its official opening earlier this month, and residents began moving in shortly thereafter. Sales have been incredibly strong at the development, and now there are only three residences left for sale. Current availability is priced from $4.6 million.

"The pace in which we were able to achieve near sellout and pay off Fort Lauderdale’s largest construction loan in history is unprecedented for the area," added Ramzi Achi, Principal of Fort Partners. “Four Seasons Fort Lauderdale is a first-of-its-kind luxury development, and it’s been gratifying to see buyers recognize this tremendous value.”
