Terra And One Thousand Group Join Forces With Major Food Group To Reveal 'Villa' In Edgewater

Iconic Miami-based real estate development firms Terra and One Thousand Group have joined forces with hospitality powerhouse Major Food Group to reveal the Villa, a gleaming ultra-luxe waterfront tower in Miami’s Edgewater neighborhood. The Villa will be one of the most coveted residential and lifestyle experiences in the world, created by a first-of-its-kind partnership uniting the visionaries behind some of the most acclaimed hospitality, private club and residential experiences to shape the future of modern luxury living.

A 58-story, 650-foot-tall crystalline tower with a copper color-cladded exoskeletal design, the Villa will be available to as few as 50 families, offering expansive full-floor vertical “villas” with 360-degree views of Biscayne Bay and the city, as well as astonishing levels of personalized service, curated amenities, crafted design, and privacy. This venture unites a group of Miami’s most respected legacy developers for the first time, Terra, led by CEO, David Martin, and One Thousand Group, Co-Founded by Kevin Venger and Louis Birdman along with partner Michael Konig. Terra has been known for tapping Pritzker-Prize-award-winning architects, from Bjarke Ingels to Rem Koolhaas and Arquitectonica, to build its cutting-edge portfolio which includes Grove at Grand Bay and Park Grove, while One Thousand Group are the innovators behind Miami’s iconic One Thousand Museum by Zaha Hadid Architects.

“We’ve been at the forefront of presenting legacy developments that are transformational to key neighborhoods,” says David Martin, CEO of Terra. “Villa is the project that marks the coming of age for the Edgewater neighborhood. The unrivaled level of service, social amenities, design and architecture, combined with the full floor residences is going to be a defining factor for the area.”

The creative forces of Major Food Group, the hospitality powerhouse behind CARBONE, Contessa, Dirty French and Sadelle’s, reshaping Miami’s dining landscape over the past two years, will develop every last detail of the luxury hospitality experience at the Villa. The program MFG has conceptualized includes a superior collection of resident-only lounges, bars, and restaurants. The vision reflects MFG’s style of decadence, impeccable white glove level of service and expertise in creating a range of dynamic environments that represent the pinnacle of dining and luxury.

“All the players on this dream team have unparalleled track records of giving the world the very highest level of firsts in their respective industries,” says Major Food Group Co-Founder Jeff Zalaznick. “There is no doubt that Villa will set the standard that luxury developments are measured by for decades to come.”

“Many of our owners at One Thousand Museum—and the many buyers who missed out on that opportunity— all keep asking, ‘What’s next?’ We had to deliver something even more exclusive, responsive to the demands and lifestyle of the highest-profile residents and celebrity buyers in the world.” Adds One Thousand Group Co-Founder, Kevin Venger

Villa not only represents the first-ever collaboration between Terra and One Thousand Group, but also the first foray into a collaboration between Major Food Group and interior designer Vicky Charles of Charles & Co. for the luxury condominium’s design and programming. Charles is known for her work as former design director at Soho House and for commissions for the likes of Sony Music, Goop, George and Amal Clooney, Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis, and David and Victoria Beckham, including the interiors for their Penthouse at One Thousand Museum. Charles & Co will lead the interiors for the Villa. Major Food Group and Charles will collaborate closely to perfect the residential and hospitality environments.

To develop best-in-class residential kitchens that merge sophistication with practicality, famed Major Food Group Co-Founder Mario Carbone will draw on his signature sense of style, and the wisdom he has amassed over his career cheffing in the most hallowed dining destinations in the world.

“We look forward to harnessing our unrivaled passion, knowledge, and love for the act of cooking to create the perfect modern home,” says Carbone.

Leading the architectural design team is local rising star Kurt Dannwolf, of O’Donnell, Dannwolf & Partners (ODP Architects), whose renowned CV includes collaborations with such luminaries as Zaha Hadid Architects, Foster + Partners, OMA, KPF, SOATA, Elkus Manfredi Architects, Herzog & de Meuron, and MAD Architects. Global structural design firm DeSimone—whose more than 10,000 building designs include the most recognizable high-rises in New York and Miami—will engineer this impressive structure.

Rounding out the team is one of the world’s most renowned landscape architects, Enzo Enea, of Switzerland.

The Estates at Acqualina Reveals 'Villa Acqualina' 45K SF Residents-Only Ultra Luxury Amenity Complex

The Estates at Acqualina, the highly anticipated $1.8 billion ultra-luxury residential development located in Miami's Sunny Isles Beach, has revealed Villa Acqualina, the 45,000-square-foot residents-only amenity complex in collaboration with New York-based architecture and design firm Reddymade Architecture & Design and Miami's STA Architecture Group. The Estates at Acqualina also collaborated with the late Karl Lagerfeld, who designed the lobbies as his first interior design project in the United States.

Villa Acqualina, situated between the North and South Residential Towers, is adjacent to Acqualina Resort & Residences. Led by award-winning architect and designer Suchi Reddy, Villa Acqualina's design was inspired by the Acqualina brand's reputation for unparalleled quality and luxury and given a cool, contemporary design scheme.

"I wanted to create a singular signature in the amenity spaces that reflects the quality of the Acqualina brand," says Reddymade-founder Suchi Reddy. "We wanted to design unique experiences in each space that synthesizes playfulness and beauty," she continues, "from a magical ice rink that feels like an underwater ice cave to a vibrant and dynamic bowling alley that embodies the energy and movement of the game."

Villa Acqualina is spread over four full floors and features a cinema, golf simulator, Formula One racing simulator, and an ice skating rink that feels like a translucent crystalline cave in one section, along with a duplex nightclub and speak-easy in another. The latter is wrapped in walls of translucent glass and video installations and, when not filled with revelers, feels like an oversized art installation. It's an all-day destination for socializing, working out, or indulging in a well-earned dose of self-care.

Meanwhile, up above is ACQUAFIT, the wellness space set at the Villa's upper level designed by Miami's STA Architecture Group. According to STA's Todd Tragash, ACQUAFIT is divided into three distinct areas – all facing the Atlantic. At its airy center point is a cardio-fitness area; to one side is a studio for spinning, yoga, TRX, and Pilates; on the other is space for cardio, a boxing ring, and stretching.

Tragash has clearly looked to the ocean for his core inspiration; "the color palette is a striking contrast of black white with splashes of 'Dreaming Green' marble etched jade mirror accents," he said. "Within the ceiling, we placed mirror-polished stainless steel ovals to evoke a water ripple effect.

"The Estates will not only provide the world's finest residences but also the world's most luxurious amenities for our residents, redefining the standard for sophisticated living," said Jules Trump, developer of The Estates at Acqualina.

Villa Acqualina is also home to Avra Miami, the Miami-outpost of the acclaimed Greek restaurant from NYC. The Miami outpost is a dining experience like no other, with a covered outdoor dining patio overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, bringing the laid back Greek Island vibes and cuisine to Sunny Isles Beach.

Miami Beach's Exclusive Star Island Now Ranks As The Nation's Priciest Neighborhood

Miami Beach’s exclusive Star Island has emerged as the leader among the most expensive neighborhoods in the United States, leading Port Royal in Naples, FL and Beverly Hill’s Beverly Hills Gateway and Trousdale Estates, according to sales data from Zillow Group Inc. The average home sale on the ritzy island in 2022 traded for $40.2 million, up $16.7 million and 71% from 2019 when the average home sale on the island was $23.5 million.

Over the past several years hedge fund heavyweight Ken Griffin, founder Citadel, has purchased an assemblage of five properties on the island for a combined $170 million. Griffin made a splash when he acquired 8 Star Island Drive, a teardown built in 1993 on 1.8-acres, for $75 million. The sale set record for single-family home sales in Miami-Dade County at the time, a record Griffin is no stranger breaking. Griffin has also acquired the adjacent 10 Star Island for $25 million and 11 and 12 Star Island Drive in an off-market deal for roughly $37 million and 13 Star Island for $32.5 million. He also owned 14 Star Island which he purchased for $24 million in 2020 and sold to ex-New York Yankee and real estate investor Alex Rodriguez for $18.5 million in a reported swap for 13 Star Island.

Griffin hasn’t been the only high-profile investor buying and selling on the Island. Lennar Executive Chairman Stuart Miller kicked off a long list of transactions on the prestigious island when he acquired Thomas Kramer's former 4 and 5 Star Island Drive for $33 million. Stuart Miller developed an ultra-luxury spec home at 22 Star Island with Todd Michael Glaser which was designed by DOMO Design and sold for $49.5 million in an off-market deal overseen by David Solomon and David Miller. Next door, Miller sold a 1.9-acre property at 23 Star Island Drive to the NBA’s Memphis Grizzlies owner Robert Pera for $25 million in 2019. Pera is developing a controversial 28,000 SF waterfront mansion with basketball complex. On the other side of 22 Star Island, Roger and Sloan Barnett acquired the historic Carl Fisher estate at 46 Star Island Drive for $39 million from Marc Iacovelli. Other recent high profile deals on the island include Shay Kostiner selling his vacant lot at 44 Star Island for $10 million in June 2020 and Anthony Hsieh, the founder and CEO of LoanDepot, acquired 34 Star Island Rive for $30 million.

Currently, Alyssa Jansheski of The Inside Network has 27 Star Island listed for lease for $325,000 per month. The Jills Zeder Group has a vacant lot at 36 Star Island spanning 40,000 square feet with 100 feet of waterfront asking $37 million.

The gated Star Island has long been one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Miami, just across the MacArthur Causeway from the entrance to Fisher Island and Miami Beach’s South of Fifth neighborhood. Star Island is a man-made island in the middle of Biscayne Bay and located in the city of Miami Beach. The island was built by the Army Corps of Engineers in 1922 as part of a dredging project and was developed by Carl Fisher into an island for the rich and famous. The island is now home to celebrities and billionaires such as Gloria and Emilio Estefan, Philip Frost, Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, Alex Rodriguez, Stuart Miller and Vladislav Doronin.

Dezer Development To Bring Resident Only Private Restaurant Concept By James Beard Award-Winning Chef Todd English To Bentley Residences

Bentley Residences, the first-ever Bentley-branded residential tower in the world, will partner with four-time James Beard award-winning celebrity chef Todd English to curate the menu and experience for the project’s private restaurant concept which will only be open to residents of the ultra-luxury condo tower. Chef Todd English is a highly recognized restaurateur, author and television personality best known for his current restaurants, Olives, Figs, and The Pepper Club, his Vegas outpost within The English Hotel, as well as his appearances on Food Network, PBS and popular shows like Top Chef and Iron Chef. The private restaurant by Todd English will be the chef’s first private condominium concept, set to feature fresh cuisine and offer residents a casual, yet sophisticated environment.

“Bringing in the culinary expertise of a world-renowned chef such as Todd English further elevates the sense of living we are creating for our residents,” said Gil Dezer, President of Dezer Development. “Bentley Residences will deliver a coveted level of exclusivity and privacy while incorporating luxuries ordinarily found in a five-star resort, like this above and beyond culinary concept.”

Located on the lobby level with views of the resort-style pool and exposures of the ocean, the private restaurant will be open to residents for breakfast, lunch and dinner and available for private catering as well as poolside dining. Chef Todd English will personally appear at the private restaurant for select resident-only events, such as food and wine pairings and demonstrations. The menus will rotate seasonally, and a curated menu will also be available for in-residence dining. Known for his interpretation of rustic Mediterranean cuisine, English first rose to international fame after being named “National Rising Star Chef” in 1991 by the James Beard Foundation. His incredible talent and personability will inform the dining experience and ensure a personalized touch during every meal.

“Every aspect of Bentley Residences has been so thoughtfully designed to perfection and I’m incredibly honored for this opportunity to partner with Gil Dezer and further elevate the luxurious lifestyle through unique culinary creations for residents,” said Todd English. “We're excited to provide a curated experience with rotating seasonal menus that will make dining at Bentley Residences a joy for residents and their guests.”

Featuring interiors by Bentley Motors, this private culinary experience will be one-of-a-kind, only to be enjoyed by the residents and their welcomed guests. Many of the fabrics and materials incorporated into the design of the dining spaces were inspired by high-end luxury Bentley vehicles, creating a connection and link to the prestigious automobile brand. For example, the high-gloss flooring is a nod to Bentley’s signature diamond patterning, which is also featured on the exterior architecture of the building. The interiors of the private restaurant combine a dark color palette and bold finishes for an upscale moody aesthetic. Forest green backlit banquettes create a sense of privacy within the room, and dramatic louvers cladding the walls give the space an air of drama. Ample bar seating is also available for a more relaxed and casual dining experience.

As Chef Todd English’s first private restaurant, the offering will benefit from his decades of experiences launching some of the world’s most successful concepts. Not only does he have high-recognition for his food, English has also been seen on a number of television shows such as The Food Network’s Opening Soon, Iron Chef, Top Chef, Today Show, and Food Trip with Todd English. Additionally, he has also served as Executive Celebrity Chef for star-studded events including the Super Bowl, Fashion Week, Tony Awards & Sundance Film Festival.

In addition to the resident-only restaurant, Bentley Residences will also boast an impressive 20,000 square feet of exclusive amenities across the span of three levels. Some of which amenities include a whiskey and cigar lounge, wellness and revitalization spa, cinema, cabanas, and oceanfront beauty salon.

The Dezervator along with the glass-ensconced garage allows for residents to keep their prized cars in pristine condition and on display in their living rooms.
