The First Estate Built On Star Island In 1924 Lists For Record $90 Million Following Ultra-Luxe Mega-Expansion

The first estate built on Star Island in 1924 has hit the market for a record $90 million following an ultra-luxe mega-expansion. Located at 27 Star Island, the sprawling estate offers history and the ultimate in contemporary living with two distinct homes spanning 25,000 square-feet of living space on an expansive 40,000 square-foot waterfront lot. The sale would set a Miami-Date County record which was recently set at the nearby 8/9 Star Island Drive which billionaire hedge fund manager, entrepreneur and investor Ken Griffin purchased for $75 million. Star Island is one of Miami Beach’s most coveted address’ with just 30 waterfront homes in the gated community.

The original home built in 1924 by prominent architect Walter De Garmo is Star Island’s first residence. The structure was picked up and relocated to the South side of the property in 2014 and masterfully restored in a way that embodies the roaring 20’s. The second home is a modern masterpiece overlooking 100 feet of water frontage designed by Starchitect SAOTA and built by Coastal.

“This home is not a spec house, it was built for the owner with no expense spared,” said listing agent Alyssa Morgan with ONE Sotheby’s International Realty. “There’s over a quarter of a million dollars worth of acoustic soundproofing and no level changes from interior to exterior for a flush flow that requires a very expensive pedestal drain system. The floors in the original De Garmo residence are restored Miami Dade Pine that are the under water pilings from the original 1924 home.”

Together the residences offer a total of 11 bedrooms plus 12 full and 3 half baths. Features include a Chef’s kitchen with Gulio appliances and 5 cooking methods, elevator, sunset rooftop lounge, and 1,400 bottle wine room. Estate amenities include a waterfront gym, spa with sauna & steam, cold plunge, jacuzzi , massive wraparound pool, office cabana, spa with massage room and hair salon, and new dock with boat lift.

“It’s so special to be able experience the vibe of being in a home with so much history and in one of the most architecturally significant modern homes by SAOTA that really showcases Miami living today - all in one property,” added Morgan.

Chris Bosh's Former North Bay Road Estate Sells To Crypto Industry CEO Of MoonPay For $38 Million

Ivan Soto-Wright, the co-founder and CEO of crypto payment system MoonPay, has acquired Miami Heat icon Chris Bosh’s former Miami Beach estate on North Bay Road for $38 million. MoonPay is a London-based online payment system for cryptocurrencies which just recently MoonPay hit a $3.4 billion valuation following a new $555 million funding round led by Tiger Global Management and Coatue. Albert Justo and Mirce Curkoski with The Waterfront Team at One Sotheby’s International Realty were the listing agents and Dina Goldentayer of Douglas Elliman represented the buyer. No comment has been made about the method and terms of transaction.

Bosh sold the same home in January 2021 for $14.4 million to AquaBlue Group, led by Philippe Harari, who would renovate the home before relisting it for $42 million and selling to Soto-Wright for $38 million. The massive price increase reflects the strong demand for waterfront real estate in Miami.

Upon arrival into the lushly landscaped property, guests will be greeted by a living green wall and a garden courtyard area with water installations that highlight the home's perimeter. The gut-renovated home features seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms, with wood and stone finishes throughout. The double-height great room is surrounded in glass, highlighting the captivating views of the bay and garden. Each corner of the home is intentionally and perfectly positioned to flow seamlessly together with high-end finishes from custom millwork to Italian marble slabs.

The grand master suite offers large closets, oversized bathroom with tub and dual sinks, morning kitchen and of course, stunning views. The kitchen features a custom Italian expansive chef’s kitchen with a huge island. The outdoors offers a mosaic tile infinity pool, a detached outdoor kitchen and cabana bathroom plus a separate guest quarters. The fully automated smart home also features a commercial-grade elevator and more.

Celebrity neighbors include Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, Karlie Kloss and Joshua Kushner, with former star owners including Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union. The home is seeking an overall record, but still lower price per square foot ($3,500) when compared to other recent sales like the sale of Phil Collins and Jennifer Lopez’s former home at 5800 North Bay Road which sold for $39 million at about $4,000 per square foot.

Black Lion has the intent of introducing additional flagship restaurants to the property.

“The entire Miami market has rapidly evolved into the epicenter for fine dining and high-end nightlife experiences over the last several years,” said Robert Rivani, president of Black Lion. “Our objective for the investment in Marea is to invite more fine dining restaurants to this culinary and cultural mecca to further elevate Miami’s reputation on a global scale. We have multiple world-renowned food and beverage concepts in the works and anticipate that even more international and domestic visitors will be attracted not only to our restaurants but to the vibrancy of this burgeoning market overall.”

Our combined insight into what today’s sophisticated, savvy consumers are searching for will be underscored by this stunning retreat. My vision encompasses and combines history, culture, art, music, technology and architecture to build the only authentic home of its kind.”

Major Food Group To Open Miami Beach Outpost of World-Renowned Israeli Restaurant HaSalon

Major Food Group (MFG), the creative force behind some of America’s most celebrated restaurants, continues its South Florida expansion with a Miami Beach outpost of HaSalon, the renowned Israeli restaurant originally founded in Tel Aviv. Opening on Wednesday November 24, 2021 at the former home of an iconic Miami Beach institution, China Grill, the project marks a groundbreaking collaboration between the two industry leaders.

Led by Co-Founders Mario Carbone, Jeff Zalaznick, and Rich Torrisi, MFG established roots in Miami at the beginning of 2021 with two smash successes: CARBONE in the South of Fifth neighborhood and the private membership venue ZZ’s Club in the Miami Design District. In addition to HaSalon, MFG will launch several additional Miami projects before the end of the year.

“HaSalon is simply legendary. We fell in love with the concept years ago, in part because MFG also builds restaurants that deliver excellent hospitality, unmatched food, and a nightly celebration. Now, we finally get to do it together. The restaurant is a one-of-kind concept born in Israel but made for Miami.” said Jeff Zalaznick, MFG Co-Founder.

HaSalon will open at one of Miami Beach’s most storied locations: 404 Washington Avenue, which for nearly two decades was home to China Grill. The address is a fitting showcase for the theatrics and widely acclaimed Israeli cuisine that have come to define the HaSalon brand at its outposts in Tel Aviv, New York City, and Ibiza.

“Everyone who comes to HaSalon for the first time tells me that they’ve never had an experience like it,” says HaSalon founder Eyal Shani, the beloved chef, MasterChef judge, and restaurateur with over 30 successful ventures to his name. “The mood gets more and more energetic and convivial as the night goes on and guests get comfortable, but one thing never changes: the line of cooks working very quietly, very consciously, on their food.”

In the heart of Miami Beach, the HaSalon team will work from an open kitchen decorated with a bounty of ingredients—a HaSalon signature. They will prepare bright salads, vibrant vegetable dishes, satisfying pastas, as well as show-stopping courses meant for sharing, such as many whole fish preparations, giant lamb kebabs, and steaks. Menu selections will change according to the seasons and the restaurant’s restless creativity, but their famous emphasis on generosity and bold flavors will remain constant.

HaSalon operating hours will be Wednesday - Sunday.

Witkoff And Monroe Capital Announce Restoration And Redevelopment Of Iconic Shore Club Hotel In Miami Beach

Witkoff and Monroe Capital have announced a partnership with world renowned Robert A.M. Stern Architects to restore and redevelop the iconic Shore Club Hotel at 1901 Collins Avenue in Miami Beach. On November 15th, 2021, Witkoff and Monroe Capital filed an application with the City of Miami Beach for approval of the renovation and redevelopment of the Shore Club and Cromwell property by the Historic Preservation Board.

The Shore Club Hotel, a South Beach institution since 1949, is a private residential resort and boutique hotel set within a lush botanical landscape on Miami Beach. The Mid-Century Modern or “MiMo” style Shore Club Hotel was combined in 2001 with the Cromwell Hotel, an Art Deco-style hotel built in 1939. Uniquely situated in the Miami Beach Architectural (Art Deco) District and listed in the National Register of historic places, the Shore Club Hotel, is a “club” in every aspect of the word, inviting a sense of exclusivity. The newly reimagined luxury offerings will include 80 custom-designed residences and 65 boutique hotel suites, combining classic elegance with modern luxury. Given Witkoff and Stern's long history of preserving and restoring historic structures, the restoration and redevelopment of the legendary Shore Club has a veritable Historic Preservation Dream Team helping to bring the project to fruition.

The Shore Club Hotel’s storied history will be preserved while redeveloping the property into a new Miami Beach icon designed through a contemporary lens, embracing and enhancing its heritage. The proposed plan prioritizes maintaining the contributing historic structures of the original Cromwell and Shore Club hotels while building an additional two new structures on the property: a residential building and a private villa. In addition, the exterior will include three pool decks for residential and hotel use, a remodeled exterior dining area, an exterior cafe, all set among a lush tropical oasis.

To honor the Shore Club’s rich history, the interior plans include a complete restoration of the lobby to its original grandeur and renovation of its hotel suites, two world-class food offerings, carefully curated amenities catering towards every need of the individual residents and guests, a state-of-the-art gym facility, and private screening and lounge rooms.

Witkoff’s long, successful history of restoring and redeveloping properties of historical significance includes the iconic Woolworth Building, Daily News Building, 55 Wall Street, One Broadway in Manhattan, and Shell Mex House and Devonshire House in London as well as the Hilton Cabana in Miami Beach. Witkoff and Monroe Capital prioritized expertise in historic preservation and compatible new construction in selecting architect, teacher and writer Robert A.M Stern to lead the Shore Club’s design, with historic renovation projects including 18 Gramercy Park South (renovation of a women’s boarding house into a condo), The Claremont (a residential tower addition to the Union Theological Seminary) and The Belnord (partial renovation of an historic rental building into a condominium).

Heritage Architectural Associates, led by Steven Avdakov, an architect specializing in historic preservation, is serving as the Historic Preservation Consultant on the project to preserve and restore the authenticity of the original structures and interior. The design team also includes acclaimed Kobi Karp Architecture & Interior Design, as well as landscape architecture firm Island Planning Corporation, led by founder Nathan Browning.

“Witkoff is honored to have the opportunity to restore and redevelop the Shore Club and Cromwell back to their original grandeur,” said Alex Witkoff, Principal of Witkoff, “We look forward to collaborating with the City of Miami Beach, the Historic Preservation Board and the community to ensure that our vision honors the Shore Club and Cromwell’s storied histories.”

“As Miami Beach increasingly grows as a global city, historically significant projects like this define and contribute to its thriving culture and flourishing economy.” adds Kyle Asher, Managing Director of Monroe Capital.

“The historic preservation of the original Cromwell and Shore Club Hotel is essential to the restoration due to the buildings’ status as designated historic structures and to preserve the history of Miami Beach as a whole,” stated Historian Steve Avdakov on the nature of the project.

“From the outset of the conceptualization of this project, the team focused on ensuring the historical integrity of the Shore Club and leading with a contextual design approach that complements the surrounding community. It is critical to preserve the historic integrity of iconic properties like the Shore Club and Cromwell,” said Paul Whalen, Partner of Robert A.M. Stern Architects. “Our design strategy and approach for the project was heavily influenced by their storied history.”

Two internationally recognized real estate development firms – Sumaida + Khurana and Bizzi & Partners - have announced a new joint venture to develop best-in-class buildings across the United States. Their first project is an office building located in South Beach and designed by renowned Spanish master architect Alberto Campo Baeza. The developers’ objective is to deliver a Class A+ building that sets a new benchmark for architecture and quality in the office market. Perfectly situated at the entrance to Miami Beach from the MacArthur Causeway, it will be Baeza’s first building in Miami, as well as his first commercial building in the United States. Sumaida + Khurana is led by Saif Sumaida and Amit Khurana. Bizzi & Partners is headed by CEO Davide Bizzi and Managing Director Alessandro Pallaoro.

Bizzi & Partners and Sumaida + Khurana are individually known the world over for developing some of the most significant real estate projects in the world, collaborating with critically acclaimed designers. Bizzi & Partners, which has offices in New York, Milan, São Paulo, and Tallinn, worked with Pritzker Prize winning architect Renzo Piano to design both 565 Broome SoHo in Manhattan and Eighty Seven Park in Miami. The firm also developed the Langham Hotel in New York, designed by Charles Gwathmey. The firms recently decided to collaborate and will develop a wide range of luxury residential and commercial buildings across America through the new partnership. New York-based Sumaida + Khurana collaborated with Pritzker Prize winning architect, Tadao Ando to design 152 Elizabeth Street, as well as Pritzker Laureate, Alvaro Siza for 611 West 56th Street.

While the firms have generally focused on luxury residential development, the new partnership is also focused on elevating the quality level of office development by delivering the architectural pedigree, custom quality finishes, bespoke amenities and services delivered at their residential projects.

“We are happy to be entering into this new joint venture and are excited by the opportunity to be collaborating with Alberto Campo Baeza. His work speaks to both firms’ shared set of beliefs to create timeless buildings that are contextually appropriate and that thoughtfully consider the historic architecture of neighborhoods like South Beach,” said Davide Bizzi, Chief Executive Officer, Bizzi & Partners.

“We have a great deal of respect for one another’s projects and approach to development. We share in the vision to create seminal buildings that add significant value to the built environment. Alberto Campo Baeza’s buildings are known for their purity of design and subtle detailing. Similar to the other projects that our firms have developed, Campo Baeza’s design will provide the opportunity to deliver a building of exquisite craftsmanship and quality,” said Amit Khurana, Founding Partner, Sumaida + Khurana.

In the coming months, Sumaida + Khurana and Bizzi & Partners plan to release more details about the Baeza building, which is expected to start construction next summer. Project executive architect is the award-winning firm, Cube 3. World renowned architecture firm, Gabellini Sheppard is designing interiors. Miami-based Urban Robot Associates is the project’s landscape architect.

The building will be made of white concrete, glass, and marble. Many of its features including high ceilings, open and flexible floorplans, expansive private outdoor terraces for all offices, floor-to-ceiling windows, a fitness center, multiple F & B venues, and a large atrium that opens up all of the offices to a dramatic experience of light, air, and outdoor space for tenants, and a private rooftop with expansive water views.

Based in Spain, Baeza has been widely recognized for his work including winning his country’s National Prize for Architecture in 2021. He has designed the Houses Turégano and de Blas, both in Madrid, the Gaspar House, Asencio House in Cádiz, Rufo House in Toledo and Moliner House in Zaragoza. He has also designed the BIT Center in Inca-Mallorca, the public space Between Cathedrals, in Cádiz, the Caja de Granada Savings Bank and the Museum of Memory of Andalucía, both in Granada. In 2020, he won the competition for the new bridge over the Piave River in Belluno, Venice.

Bizzi & Partners and Sumaida + Khurana are currently in the process of finalizing details on additional developments they plan to announce in the near future.
