FIRST ON PROFILE: Landau Properties Launches Sales of Indian Creek Residences & Yacht Club Starting At $5 Million

The NYC and Miami-based Landau Properties, led by Jonathan Landau, has launched sales for the highly-anticipated Indian Creek Residences & Yacht Club on Miami’s Bay Harbor Islands. The boutique building offers nine luxury condominium homes and six yacht slips, providing one of the only private yacht clubs in the area and a sought-after opportunity for waterfront views of the coveted Indian Creek Island and exclusive Indian Creek Country Club. Pricing begins at $5.6 million for a half-floor home, with penthouse residences starting from $11 million with sales and marketing exclusively overseen by OFFICIAL Partners.

“Indian Creek Residences & Yacht Club is the first true luxury boutique new development overlooking Indian Creek Lake,” said Jonathan Landau, Founder and CEO of Landau Properties. “This unique site afforded us the rare opportunity to build a fully amenitized limited collection residential experience on Bay Harbor Islands, something for which the neighborhood has been waiting a long time. These homes are certain to resonate with buyers who appreciate exceptional design and are looking for a comprehensive lifestyle experience in Miami’s most desirable waterfront neighborhood.”

The eight-story waterfront development is being designed by acclaimed Miami-based architect Kobi Karp with interiors by Linda Zarifi of Zarifi Design, representing the designer’s first ground-up condo in Miami. A counterpoint to the tall, boxy, glass towers that have become synonymous with new development in Miami, the boutique, high-design building will pay homage to Bay Harbor's large concentration of mid-century modern design. Curved edges, neutral natural materials and sculptural details define the building inside and out. Lush, tropical and mature landscaping by Enea Garden Design will envelope the building and convey a resort-like return to nature.

“Today’s luxury buyers are looking for one-of-a-kind homes that combine show-stopping views with world-class finishes and amenities that meet their every need,” said Oren Alexander of OFFICIAL Development Advisors, the exclusive sales and marketing firm for the development. “Indian Creek Residences & Yacht Club is the only opportunity on the island to own a property with the amenities of a fully serviced condominium and the discretion of a private home. Indian Creek has garnered much attention lately from captains of industry, so it’s no surprise that we’ve already had strong interest in these homes before launching, with the most discerning buyers needing to guarantee their spot in this building.”

Ranging from three- to five-bedroom homes spanning from 3,300 to over 5,600 square feet, the collection of half-floor homes, duplex residences and full-floor penthouses combine unobstructed, postcard-like views with best-in-class modern finishes, in addition to private balconies and wine feature walls. Each residence boasts stunning panoramas of Indian Creek Lake and Biscayne Bay, as well as the Indian Creek Golf Course. Most also feature direct elevator entry for added privacy. All three-and five-bedroom homes feature spaces that can serve as additional bedrooms or home offices for added flexibility. Penthouses offer 75 feet of unobstructed water views.

The luxurious interiors designed by Zarifi feature Gaggenau appliance packages, Zenia white oak cabinetry with custom millwork, Taj Mahal stone countertops and islands, and Fantini fixtures in the chef-quality kitchens. Primary baths boast travertine floors and walls, and freestanding soaking tubs, with many offering water views.

“Bay Harbor Island has one of the largest concentrations of mid-century modern homes in the country,” said Linda Zarifi, Founder of Linda Zarifi Design. “Morris Lapidus, the pioneer of this movement, once said, ‘If you create the stage setting and it is grand, everyone who enters will play their part.’ At Indian Creek Residences & Yacht Club, we aimed to do just that: unveil a luxury and dramatic product modernized to 21st century living. Through every surface, material and feature, we push the boundaries of design while revealing something special along the way.”

In addition to expansive, elegant homes, Indian Creek Residences & Yacht Club will offer a comprehensive, resort-style amenities package for residents. The owners’ yacht club and private marina is complete with one shared slip and five available for purchase, dockmaster concierge services and an outdoor lounge with bar. Additional amenities include a world-class spa with sauna and steam rooms, dedicated treatment room and red-light therapy room; state-of-the-art fitness center; outdoor yoga lawn; outdoor waterfront lounge with hot tub; The Parlour, a flexible creative space with a custom wet bar offering personal storage, coffee bar, home office space and entertainment lounge with a high-fidelity audio system; and a 2,600-square-foot landscaped rooftop terrace featuring a pool, private dining area, outdoor kitchen and bar, and outdoor screening pavilion with lounge seating.

The natural textures which include pristine marbles and dark bronze accents, were hand selected by the project’s infamous designer, Tara Bernard for The Perigon and present throughout the interiors.

Inspired by the rivieras of Europe, Bernerd created an idyllic setting at the sales gallery for connection and socializing that is true to The Perigon’s lifestyle. An elevated reception area and lounge is reflective of the property’s lobby with soft lighting and warm hues. The lounge was designed to capture the essence of the 40,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor amenities envisioned for The Perigon.

Exemplifying this vision at the gallery is a full bar clad in stone, where baristas will create the experience of The Perigon’s breakfast lounge in the mornings and bartenders will bring the building’s private speakeasy, FiftyThree, to life in the evenings. The Perigon’s oceanfront private restaurant, Nota led by Chef Hergatt, was the inspiration for the color palette of the space, where neutral shades are authentic to the surrounding environment. Additionally, the clean lines of the furnishings channel The Perigon’s sunset lounge, which offers a private space for entertaining.

The sales gallery also provides a sneak peek at the building’s elegant residential interiors. With the focus on craftsmanship and detail, the model kitchen features its open design outfitted with Italian cabinetry custom designed by Bernerd as well as a curved kitchen island featuring hand laid, fluted marble. A model bathroom adorned in marble with bronze fittings and a dramatic free standing fluted soak tub. Select residences feature floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors showcasing unprecedented views of the Miami skyline and Atlantic Ocean. Artwork adorned throughout the gallery, including a landmark piece by Sterling Ruby, was hand-selected in partnership with Creative Art Partners, marking The Perigon as their debut project in South Florida. Art curation will be an amenity service exclusively available for residents at the property.

On display within the sales gallery is a scale model of The Perigon, highlighting the tower’s architectural design by OMA, another key component to the condominium’s high-end lifestyle. The 17-story building features a bold, terraced design that rises 200 feet above the shoreline and offers 1,250 lineal feet of the tower’s gardens. Conceived as a series of diamond-shaped “towers” rotated to orient and optimizes views from all residences toward the Atlantic Ocean, Biscayne Bay, and the Miami skyline. The design for the interlocking towers will obtain LEED Gold certification when completed.

Related Group and Merrimac Ventures Partner with Hilton To Launch Waldorf Astoria Residences Pompano Beach

Related Group (Related) and Merrimac Ventures alongside hospitality leader Hilton (NYSE: HLT) have announced the signing of Waldorf Astoria Residences, located in South Florida’s emerging market of Pompano Beach. Directly overlooking the Atlantic ocean, the Waldorf Astoria Residences Pompano Beach (The Residences) marks the historic brand’s first-ever foray into purely residential concepts and its official entrance into Broward County.

“We set out to distill the timeless elegance and exclusivity of the Waldorf Astoria brand into a purely residential format,” said Nick Perez, President of Related’s condominium development group. “From the design and architecture to the resident services, we’ve pulled out all the stops to ensure this property fully embodies the Waldorf Astoria brand. There is no compromise in our approach and we are so excited to see how the market reacts to this incredible development.”

Sitting on a two-acre oceanfront site, the Waldorf Astoria Residences Pompano Beach spans only 92 residential units and offers world-class design, spearheaded by Nichols in collaboration with KORA, BAMO and Enea Landscape Architecture. With a hospitality infused amenity package - including a beachfront cafe with room service, resident lounge, pool, jacuzzi and cabanas with poolside dining, wellness facilities, and nearly two dozen boat slips - the new build will add further momentum to South Florida’s growth and be part of the sub-market’s evolution into a highly sought-after address.

Envisioned as a love letter to the history and tradition of the Waldorf Astoria name, The Residences features many nods to the brand. Among the most prominent examples is the tower’s Peacock Alley, a homage to the Peacock Alleys that grace many Waldorf Astoria properties around the world. The resident-only space will serve as the property’s main gathering area - where residents go to “see and be seen” - and feature a soon-to-be-announced F&B concept along with many other signature touches. Brand aficionados will also spot a lovingly crafted clock inspired by the original at Waldorf Astoria in New York.

“Waldorf Astoria has been committed to offering sincerely elegant service, culinary excellence, and unforgettable experiences since its inception,” says Dino Michael, SVP & Global Head, Hilton Luxury Brands. “With the announcement of Waldorf Astoria Residences Pompano Beach, we are thrilled that the reputation and expectations associated with our luxury brand will reach new audiences and buyers with our evolved approach to the real estate space.”

The influence of the revered hotel flag extends to the more than 15,000 square feet of curated lifestyle amenities. Highlights include a 20-thousand-square-foot, oceanfront pool deck, complete with a lap-pool and private spa, outdoor bar and dining lounge, summer kitchens and resident cabanas. Residents will also have direct, private access to 200 linear feet of beachfront and beachside cafe. The property is also one of the very few in the region to feature a private marina, with 19 slips and ability to accommodate vessels measuring up to 45 feet.

The Residences also offer a wide assortment of wellness-forward amenities. This includes a resident-only spa with private treatment room and His/Her sauna and steam rooms, as well as a cutting-edge fitness center, complete with the latest cardio machine and strength and conditioning equipment, as well as a dedicated movement studio and spin room.

Additional entertainment options include a ground-floor F&B concept, billiards lounge, children’s entertainment room, and multi-sport simulator. Managed by Waldorf Astoria, buyers will also enjoy 24/7, signature resident services, including in-resident dining, beach and pool-side service, personal concierge and more. The property will also feature an assortment of museum-quality art from the world-renowned Jorge M. Perez Contemporary Art Collection.

The Residences’ unveiling comes amidst a major renaissance for Pompano Beach, a city lovingly known as “Florida’s Warmest Welcome.” Related and Merrimac Ventures have been working for decades to drive the thoughtful transformation of Pompano, and the broader Broward market, into an undeniable luxury destination.

“Pompano Beach’s transformation has been extraordinary – the result of many years of careful, thoughtful development and public investment in the community, which we’ve witnessed in the last decade since we’ve owned the site,” says Dev Motwani, CEO of Merrimac Ventures. “While we’ve completed several developments in the market over the years, we’ve always felt that this property was unique and intentionally waited until we found the right vision for this specific location. Now, with Related and Hilton as our partners, we're excited to move forward on what is sure to be a transformative development, not only for Pompano but for northern Broward County as a whole."

Merrimac Ventures and the Motwani family have been developing and operating in Broward County for more than 30 years, with $3 billion in capital deployed to date and an active pipeline valued in excess of $3.7 billion. Related and Perez family have an equally prolific history in Broward, with neighborhood-defining projects dating back several decades and several billion dollars under active development.

Conveniently located between the urban hotspots of Miami Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach, Pompano Beach offers an on-the-sand lifestyle at a more accessible price. Pompano Beach has always been a favorite for travelers looking for a low-key, waterfront getaway; however, as demand for South Florida real estate continues to heat up, the quiet beachfront village is now one of the fastest growing real estate markets in the Sunshine State. With robust demand for new construction but very limited supply, Pompano Beach property values have seen a steady climb over recent years.

Significant public improvements, including multi-million-dollar investments into the Downtown arts and entertainment district, combined with continued interest from buyers are expected to add further momentum to this upward trend. Nearby Fishing Village, complete with open-air pavilions and upscale dining concepts, further transforms the area into a lively, pedestrian-friendly community. For those who prefer nature to city life, residents will also be steps away from restored dunes, tree-shaded outdoor attractions, and other beachside activities that define the thriving coastal community.

Meticulously designed by BAMO to complement Pompano’s low-key lifestyle, The Residences will offer an exclusive collection of only 92 residences. The homes are available in a wide variety of floor plans and are crafted to evoke single-family living, ranging from two to five bedrooms and varying in size from 2,100 square feet to 6,100 square feet.

Each residence showcases the same painstaking attention to detail evident across the tower, and comes equipped with a private elevator foyer for maximum privacy, soaring ceilings, and panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows highlighting stunning ocean and intracoastal views. Additional standard features include oversized balconies, custom Italian cabinetry, top-of-the-line Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances. For ease of ownership, the residences are delivered ready to be occupied with a selection of designer finishes.
