Related Group (Related), Rockpoint, and Two Roads Development have closed on $424 million in financing for the construction of Rivage Residences Bal Harbour (Rivage). The loan was provided by TYKO Capital, a multi-billion-dollar commercial real estate investment management platform led by Adi Chugh.

As the first new ultra-luxury condo tower in the exclusive Village of Bal Harbour in more than a decade, Rivage has seen robust demand since its unveiling in January of 2023. The strong sales pace has resulted in more than $100 million in sales over the last 60 days. Construction began in September 2024, with delivery expected for 2027.

“We envisioned Rivage as an unparalleled jewel of luxury and service, surpassing even the most prestigious residential offerings in this iconic community,” said Nick Pérez, President of Condominium Development at Related. “With TYKO’s invaluable support, we are poised to bring that vision to life, once again setting a new standard in one of the world’s most competitive real estate markets.”

“We welcome the opportunity to have the TYKO team work alongside Related, Rockpoint and Two Roads to bring Rivage to Bal Harbour,” said Dan Domb, Managing Member at Rockpoint. “With construction and sales both well underway, we look forward to delivering this unique luxury residential property in the supply-constrained greater Miami market.”

Rivage is nestled between the Intracoastal Waterway and 200 feet of uninterrupted oceanfront, immersing residents in Miami Beach’s breathtaking natural beauty. Comprising just 56 sky villas, the boutique condominium features world-class designs by the award-winning architects Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) and interior design firm Rottet Studio. Each residence reflects organic influences, with open-concept layouts that flow seamlessly into expansive living areas and oversized terraces with unobstructed views of the Atlantic Ocean and Biscayne Bay. Designed to provide a single-family home experience, the residences range from 3,300 to nearly 13,000 square feet and include both in-unit elevator access and private parking garages. Sales and marketing for Rivage Bal Harbour is exclusively overseen by Douglas Elliman Development Marketing (DEDM).

A focus on wellness connects the more than 25,000 square feet of on-site amenities, including a state-of-the-art fitness pavilion with panoramic views; a hammam spa complete with hot/cold plunge pools and private treatment rooms; and pickle and paddle ball courts surrounded by lush landscapes designed by Swiss design firm Enea Landscape. Residents and guests can also unwind with relaxed options, from private, chef-driven food and a cocktail lounge to a VR game simulator and a kids' playroom. Resort-style services, including a 24/7 residential butler and dedicated lifestyle concierge, round out the package and ensure all residents’ needs are met.

“Rivage Bal Harbour is destined to become a landmark in luxury, a place where exceptional design and prime location meet,” said Taylor Collins, Managing Partner at Two Roads. “With this development, we’re raising the bar for what high-end living can be in South Florida, and we’re looking forward to delivering a property that residents will cherish and celebrate.”

“This relationship represents not just a financial backing, but a shared commitment to creating a residential experience that exceeds even the highest standards,” says Adi Chugh, Founder and CEO of TYKO Capital. “It’s a pleasure to join such an exceptional project team. We’re excited to bring this once-in-a-lifetime development to life and to witness how it will elevate Bal Harbour to even greater prestige.”

The Village of Bal Harbour has been an enclave for the elite since its establishment in 1929. Located between iconic South Beach and Sunny Isles, the waterfront community has long been a favorite for snowbirds, offering easy access to the world-famous Bal Harbour Shops as well as the very best of South Florida.

The 14-story boutique development will house just 34 residences, each designed with refined elegance and offering extensive amenities in one of the area’s most walkable and desirable beachside communities.

Situated at 530 North Birch Road, Bungalow East is positioned steps from both the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway. The project, anticipated to break ground in late 2025 with an 18-month construction timeline, embodies Merrimac Ventures’ legacy of transforming Fort Lauderdale Beach from a seasonal “Spring Break haven” into a premier resort destination. This vision was first ignited by the Motwani family over 35 years ago through the strategic acquisition and redevelopment of oceanfront motels, paving the way for acclaimed developments like the Four Seasons Hotel and Residences, the Conrad Hotel, and Paramount Fort Lauderdale.

“Fort Lauderdale Beach’s transformation has been extraordinary,” said Dev Motwani, Co-Managing Partner of Merrimac Ventures. “Our family has been invested in this community for decades, and Bungalow East is a special project that completes our vision for this area.”

Bungalow East will feature spacious three- and four-bedroom residences ranging from 2,100 to 2,800 square feet, with options for flexible floor plans.

Homes are priced between $2 million and $4 million and will feature floor-to-ceiling windows, expansive terraces with summer kitchens, and high-end finishes that evoke a sense of sophisticated luxury.

The building's design, a collaboration between Swedroe Architecture and Adriana Hoyos Design Studio, embraces natural elements with neutral palettes, wood accents, and sleek modern finishes. Each residence will come equipped with private elevators and chef-inspired kitchens complete with gas-range stoves, emphasizing the development’s focus on upscale, functional living.

Amenities at Bungalow East are designed for a lifestyle of relaxed luxury. Highlights include a resort-style pool deck, a wellness center with massage rooms and a beauty salon, a rooftop sunset lounge, and a yoga lawn. Additional offerings include a gaming and entertainment lounge, a conference center, and pet-friendly features such as a dog run and spa. A ground-floor retail space is slated to house a future café or wine bar, adding to the neighborhood's vibrant atmosphere.

Residents will also gain membership privileges at the Fort Lauderdale Yacht Club and exclusive access to the Conrad Hotel Fort Lauderdale, which includes beach service and full use of the hotel's amenities.

“OneWorld Properties is thrilled to lead the sales and marketing of Bungalow East,” said Peggy Olin, CEO of OneWorld Properties. “This development will redefine luxury living in Fort Lauderdale Beach, offering residents both exclusivity and convenience in an unparalleled location.”

Fort Lauderdale Beach continues to attract a wave of new residents and investors, driven by Florida’s favorable tax policies and high quality of life. Bungalow East is poised to cater to this growing demand, appealing to locals and out-of-state buyers seeking proximity to the beach and access to South Florida’s vibrant culture.

The community’s prime location offers residents easy access to North Beach Village’s top dining and entertainment spots, including The Secret Garden Dining Club, Truluck’s, and Casablanca Café, as well as cultural attractions like the Bonnet House Museum & Gardens and the trails of Birch State Park.

“After nearly a decade of hard work, it’s incredible to see our vision finally come to life,” said Jimmy Tate. “Despite countless obstacles, we never doubted Bahia Mar’s potential. We always believed this project would elevate the entire Fort Lauderdale community, but this collaboration with St. Regis exceeds even our highest expectations.”

The first phase will feature 160 elegantly appointed condominium homes spread across the two residential towers, alongside exclusive resort residences atop the hotel. The condominiums will include three- and four-bedroom options ranging from 2,600 to 3,550 square feet, in addition to stunning penthouse residences.

Designed for effortless living and entertaining, these light-filled residences showcase modern, open layouts and wraparound glass terraces that provide sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean, Intracoastal Waterway and Fort Lauderdale skyline. The Residences within the hotel will offer one to three bedrooms, in addition to penthouse options.

Each element of the branded residences embodies the essence of the St. Regis brand, renowned for its bespoke service and discerning taste that cultivate an exquisite lifestyle. Daily life is enriched by 17,000 square feet of interior amenities in each building designed to promote holistic wellness and create the perfect setting for unforgettable celebrations. These amenities include a luxurious spa with steam rooms, saunas, hot and cold plunges, treatment rooms and a wellness terrace; a salon offering beauty services; an indoor-outdoor fitness center; a children’s entertainment room; a library/media room; a private dining room and a billiards room. Lush terraces with summer kitchens, a private outdoor pool with a whirlpool, a pickleball court, a programmable multisport simulator and house bicycles enhance the experience.

“We’re thrilled to be collaborating with Related Group, Tate Capital and Rok Acquisitions to reimagine The St. Regis Bahia Mar Resort and Residences in Fort Lauderdale,” said Dana Jacobsohn, Chief Development Officer, North America Luxury Brands & Global Mixed-Use. “With its unparalleled waterfront location and exquisite design, this iconic property is set to transform the marina and deliver world-class luxury to travelers and residents alike.”

Owners will also have access to the resort amenities, including two resort-style swimming pools, a fitness center, an upscale spa with outdoor amenities, and a signature restaurant with dramatic water views.

Additional perks include a private residential lobby attended 24/7, a porte-cochère for enhanced privacy, on-site valet parking and self-parking options, along with private, secure climate-controlled storage, a curated collection of museum-quality art and an exclusive residents-only app.

As the home of the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS), the Bahia Mar Yachting Center is already a premier destination for yachting enthusiasts worldwide. In the summer of 2023, the development team secured rezoning and approval for the transformation of the existing Bahia Mar resort.

Together, the two achieve a harmonious fusion of comfort and functionality, to create Riva Residenze as The Superyacht of Waterfront Residences.

Comprising three to six bedroom residences and two penthouses spanning from 2,000 to 6,000 square feet, Riva Residenze boasts private elevator foyers, 10 to 14-foot ceiling heights, floor-to-ceiling windows, and expansive living, dining, and gathering areas. Residents can bask in Italian-designed, customizable kitchens featuring Gaggeneau appliances, along with spa-inspired master baths, further enhancing the serene and relaxing environment.

With well-being at the forefront, Riva Residenze offers a state-of-the-art Techno Gym fitness center and a yoga and pilates studio. Within the dedicated wellness center, residents can find a heated spa, lap pool, steam room, sauna, jacuzzi, restoration lounge, and private treatment space. Cabin suites inspired by the staterooms of iconic yachts are also available, reserved for friends and family. Atop the residences, Riva Residenze's SkyDeck offers yacht-like views of the ocean and intracoastal waterway. The Sundeck features a 50-foot infinity pool and private cabanas, while the SkyLounge spans 3,400 square feet with a gourmet catering kitchen and outdoor seating.

In true correlation with a water-enthusiast lifestyle, Riva Residenze features an in-house marina with seven slips for yachts up to 65 ft, including a dedicated slip for arrival and departure. The waterfront deck offers outdoor seating, hammocks, lounge chairs, and a space for private dining. A surf room with an outdoor shower and wet/dry storage caters to residents with stand-up paddleboards, kayaks, and more.

"We are thrilled to be the exclusive representative of Riva Residenze," said Edgardo Defortuna, President and CEO of Fortune International Group."The extensive development expertise of this team inspires us, and we believe this unique project fulfills a significant market demand for yacht-inspired luxury living in the Yachting Capital of the World."

In the main lobby adorned with vertical landscaping and a direct view of the marina, residents can enjoy luxury concierge services, including dining reservations, travel assistance, executive services, personal shopping, event planning, private transport, and custom requests. A curated art gallery at the entry adds an additional touch of sophistication, while the Japanese-inspired meditation garden offers a tranquil retreat for residents and guests that makes for an entrance with an impression. Additional amenities include a resident’s lounge with a library, private cinema, cigar room, wine room, and media room with a golf simulator.
