Terra And GFO Investments Deliver Tallest Tower in Miami Beach, Five Park Miami Beach

Miami Beach-In 2020, David Martin and Russell Galbut sat down to conceptualize a challenging yet coveted project—a parcel of land at Miami Beach’s entrance, primed for development. Driven by Terra’s commitment to resiliency and conscious design, the two developers envisioned Miami Beach’s tallest tower, featuring luxury residences, top-tier amenities and a public park designed to meet environmental and community goals. Now complete, Five Park Miami Beach, the first new luxury residential tower in Miami Beach in over a decade, delivers an unmatched product to a high-demand market, showcasing innovation and foresight while enhancing the city’s access to green spaces.

Initially proposed as a building occupying six to seven acres, the developers adapted the plan, reducing the tower’s footprint to two acres and dedicating the remaining acreage to green space. To gain additional height, they donated the adjacent three-acre Canopy Park, now open to the community.

Now complete and standing 48 stories tall at the entrance to South Beach, Five Park holds the title of the tallest tower in Miami Beach, serving as an iconic gateway to the highly coveted island community. The project showcases the elevated standard that only legacy developers can bring, conceptualized by a compilation of the greatest leaders and visionaries at every level.

“Five Park exemplifies our commitment to creating iconic developments that elevate urban living and help cities realize their full potential,” said David Martin, CEO of Terra. “This tower offers world-class amenities and exceptional design, while seamlessly integrating with Miami Beach’s cultural fabric and enhancing the area’s resiliency.”

A visionary design team of nearly a dozen icons, tastemakers, architects, designers and brands was assembled to create the most elevated residential experience from the inside and out. The team includes Arquitectonica, the lead architectural firm; New York-based firm Gabellini Sheppard for interiors; design maven Anda Andrei, who served as design director bringing her expertise from iconic projects including the Delano South Beach, Gramercy Park Hotel and more; Cultured Magazine’s Sarah Harrelson who led the art curation; and French conceptual artist Daniel Buren, whose works can be found in the Tate Modern, Palais Royal and Museum of Modern Art, for the iconic Canopy Bridge design. Interior designs for residences include models by Meyer Davis, RH, B&B Italia and Addison House.

“The design concept for the building combines every element of Miami Beach alongside a fusion of hospitality and residential features to create an incredible quality of life,” says Anda Andrei, design director of Five Park. “From the residents-only club to the landscape of the amenity deck that aim to create surprising new environments and stunning escapes at every turn, all components are creating an evolved living standard.”

Delivered in 2022, the three-acre Canopy Park serves as a “green lung” for the city, harmonizing with surrounding ecosystems and offering features like a botanical garden, interactive MONSTRUM playground, dog park, and event lawn. Designed with resilience in mind, the park includes varied topography for stormwater management, a “Dry River” bioswale system to filter rainwater, and a 25,000-gallon underground cistern for irrigation. Native plants promote biodiversity and habitat restoration, while salt-tolerant grass and a broad tree canopy enhance sustainability.

The Daniel Buren-designed Canopy Bridge, set to break ground this month, will offer pedestrian access via the 158-foot-long enclosed overhead artistic bridge connecting Five Park to the South of Fifth neighborhood for the first time.

“Five Park represents the dynamic evolution of Miami Beach," said Russell Galbut, Chairman of GFO Investments. "The tower, along with the Canopy Bridge pedestrian walkway to South of Fifth and Canopy Park, introduces a level of design and innovation that the neighborhood has not seen before. We are proud to collaborate with the city to bring these transformative experiences to our community.”

As the first tower to be delivered to Miami Beach in over a decade, it also presents a unique opportunity for brand-new, move-in-ready, luxury residences to the Miami Beach market. The advanced delivery compared to the rest of the activity for new residential development still in development, permitting or proposed phase demonstrates the developers’ unique foresight and capability to launch ahead of the rest of the market.

“Miami’s appeal grew stronger during the pandemic as families began putting greater emphasis on quality of life and more businesses embraced remote work,” said Martin. “Today, Miami is viewed as a desirable place to grow a business, raise a family and invest capital. All of this supports our thesis at Five Park, where our team of design, urban planning, and artistic visionaries are reimagining the idea of luxury living in Miami Beach.”

The tower has attracted a diverse demographic that reflects the growth of Miami’s evolving real estate landscape. Buyers for the project come predominantly from domestic markets, with strong interest from Northeastern cities such as New York, Connecticut and Boston.

Five Park Miami Beach offers 50,000 square feet of meticulously curated amenity spaces for its residents. At the heart of these amenities is The Park Club on the sixth floor, anchored by the Cafe Flora serving seasonal menus by James Beard award-winning chef Michelle Bernstein. Additionally, the amenity deck boasts a selection of pools with covered cabanas and loungers for poolside relaxation, all with sweeping city and bay views. Inside, residents can enjoy a variety of wellness, work and entertainment spaces, including a fully outfitted gym and spa, treatment rooms, a co-working area with private offices and board rooms, screening rooms and more. Residents also have their very own stretch of sand and sea with the tower’s branded beach club accessible via chauffeured Five Park Moke.

On the ground floor, residents have direct access to their backyard oasis, Canopy Park, offering a refuge from city living.

The move-in-ready residences at Five Park range from one to four bedrooms and start at $1.5 million. The tower’s unique elliptical form allows for 360-degree panoramic views of the city, beach and bay, maximizing natural light and providing residents with expansive floor plans and balconies that emphasize connectivity to the outdoors. Fully furnished model homes by RH, B&B Italia and Addison House are available for view and purchase for a turn-key experience.

Moss Construction successfully oversaw the tower’s construction, delivering the project on schedule. The firm has also recently begun work on Villa Miami, one of Terra’s latest projects in Edgewater, a luxury condo tower branded by Major Food Group as well as Jean-Georges Miami Tropic Residences in Midtown Miami.

Pair of Neighboring Estates On Miami Beach's Iconic North Bay Road Close For $30 Million

A pair of adjacent estates on Miami Beach’s North Bay Road, internationally known as “Millionaire’s Row,” have traded for $30 million. The North Bay Road properties, purchased by billionaire Richard Saghian, are directly across the street from one another and include a contemporary waterfront mansion and a lush Mediterranean villa.

5718 North Bay Road, which has 75 feet of frontage on Biscayne Bay, and 5725 North Bay Road, which is directly across the street, inland, sold to billionaire Richard Saghian, best known as the founder and CEO of fast-fashion company Fashion Nova. Saghian, who has an impressive collection of trophy homes, will continue to live full-time in Los Angeles, but plans to enjoy both Miami Beach residences as a vacation retreat. Saghian worked with Maurice Boschetti of Boschetti Realty Group, LLC.

The seller, Ami Shashoua, who owned both properties, worked with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices (BHHS) EWM Realty’s Nelson Gonzalez. Shashoua’s successful career has involved work with financial institutions and tech companies, as well as real estate development and sales.

“Our tropical, tax-friendly market and rapidly growing economy continue to be a hotbed of activity…with these spacious, waterfront enclaves, in particular, being repeatedly singled-out by the globe’s one percent,” Gonzalez continued. “This buyer originally looked at this home 10 months ago, but we stayed on top of him. It took him a little while to recognize the opportunity he had to acquire one of the very few available modern mansions in this exclusive enclave.”

“Richard (Saghian) wanted a prime location and the best view of the skyline and open water – which can be a difficult feat,” said Boschetti. “He knew that the chance to own two luxury homes on coveted North Bay Road, taking full advantage of the ultimate Miami Beach lifestyle and views, was an opportunity that couldn’t be overlooked.”

From its tranquil, private setting along Biscayne Bay, the North Bay Road enclave has historically been one of South Florida’s most sought-after. Just this week, David and Victoria Beckham closed on a $72.25 million sale within the community at 4736 North Bay Road. Other high-profile neighbors, past and present, have included Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, Karlie Kloss and Joshua Kushner, and business owners Wayne Boich, Josh Harris, and Marcello Claure.

Each residence in today’s transaction has been a standout in its own right, but together, they have formed the quintessential Miami Beach haven.

Built in 2022, 5718 North Bay Road is marked by a magnificent, 15,536-square-foot lot with 75 feet of premier waterfrontage. Inside, seven bedrooms, eight baths, and two half-baths are spread throughout 7,767 square feet of lavish living space, while walls of glass complement the home’s open, sunlit floorplan. In addition to a wet bar, state-of-the-art theater, an elevator, a gourmet kitchen, wine cellar, interior fishpond with stingrays, gym, and rooftop terrace, the home has a cabana with a summer kitchen, saltwater pool with a spa, and an outstanding, oversized dock. Adding to its unmistakable draw, the dwelling is defined by unobstructed, postcard-worthy views of Biscayne Bay and dazzling sunsets over Miami’s skyline.

Across the street, 5725 North Bay Road is a recently remodeled Mediterranean-style villa with four bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths – punctuated by 3,167 square feet of airy living space. The home’s 8,550-square-foot lot, enveloped in verdant landscaping, is anchored by a sparkling pool and outdoor spaces for breezy alfresco dining and gatherings.

“It’s a combined total of 11 bedrooms, 15 baths, 11,012 square feet of living space, 24,086 square feet of land, and 75 feet of waterfrontage,” Gonzalez concluded. “The uniqueness of this offering cannot be overstated.”

Black Lion Acquires Miami Beach Office Building For $62.5 Million And Reveals Renderings Of Rockwell Group Luxury Renovation

President of Black Lion, Robert Rivani, the real estate and hospitality visionary who has invested over $250 million into Miami real estate in the past few years, is venturing into the commercial office sector with his largest and most ambitious acquisition to date, the $62.5 million purchase of ‘The Lincoln’ in Miami Beach. Robert has plans to invest an additional $50 million to reimagine the property into ‘Class X’, an innovative concept that aims to redefine luxury and service standards in the office industry. Named the ‘Rivani’, the reimagination will deliver a meticulously-designed, highly amenitized experiential office and retail property that transcends the standard, mundane office space.

“While luxury residential and hospitality projects push the boundaries of service and experience to attract discerning clientele, office spaces remain conventional, failing to meet today’s expectations. Companies are struggling to entice employees back to the workplace,” said Robert. “I see an opportunity to cultivate an environment that isn't just functional, but genuinely desirable - something people will truly want to be a part of. I am introducing a whole new category of office space that will reinvent the luxury office and set a new standard for the entire industry.”

Inspired by Robert’s travel to world-class destinations across the globe, ‘Class X Office’ will seamlessly integrate luxury with convenience, establishing elevated benchmarks for amenities, design, technology, and hospitality-infused services. Designed by renowned architecture and design firm Rockwell Group, ‘Rivani’ is poised to become a beacon office destination unlike any other, showcasing features you would find at an exclusive 5-star hotel, including a concierge, spa, meditation room, fitness center, salon, cafe, living room for meetings and gatherings, a podcast room, plus a Japanese restaurant and speakeasy. Members also gain access to private event spaces.

“Rockwell Group is thrilled to partner with Robert and Black Lion on this pioneering project,” said Shawn Sullivan, Partner, Rockwell Group. Rivani is an opportunity to bring a luxurious, tailored, and timeless experience to Miami’s office sector. We were inspired by the dichotomy of French and Japanese design influences: Sophisticated, layered, artful moments juxtaposed with meditative, distilled and crafted spaces. Throughout, we celebrate exquisite views, the geometry of the existing building, and the lushness of Miami.”

"Rivani is redefining Miami's office design landscape by seamlessly blending opulent hospitality with a tranquil, wellness-centric ethos,” said Carlos Rodriguez from Escala Forma Studio. "Through a harmonious fusion of calming aesthetics and high-end amenities, our design transforms the workspace into a sanctuary of style, comfort, and productivity, elevating the overall work experience."

Ideally located in the heart of Miami Beach at 1691 Michigan Avenue next to buzzy Sunset Harbor and Lincoln Road, the landmark property showcases 118,658-square feet of interior office space, 5,000 of which will serve as Black Lion’s new flagship Miami headquarters, 43,166-square feet of retail, and 318,000-square feet of parking. Current tenants include Apple, West Elm, William Sonoma, Morgan Stanley, and Coldwell Banker.

The building is one of the largest in the area and the transaction marks the largest office transaction in Miami Beach since 2016. Christian Lee and Sean Kelly from CBRE represented the seller while Jeremy Hakala, Clay Sidner and Brandon Shores with Newmark represented Black Lion in the transaction and will oversee leasing. Completion for the project is expected mid 2025.

“This transaction stands out as a milestone in South Florida’s commercial real estate industry, underscoring Black Lion's confidence in the area’s office and retail sector,” said Hakala. “At a time when people are betting against office ventures, Robert is boldly investing millions and going full force, positioning himself as a pioneer in redefining the asset class in a city that demands it.”

Within just 2 years since entering the Miami market, Black Lion has established a formidable presence, amassing a portfolio that now exceeds $250 million in South Florida alone and disrupting the real estate hospitality scene by signing world-renowned brands including Delilah at Brickell Bay Boardwalk, CATCH at the Continuum, Amara at Paraiso with chef Michael Schwartz, and Gekko by David Grutman.

“This marks an unbelievable personal and professional achievement for me,” said Robert. “Being able to close such a significant deal without partners or investors at the age of 34 is a dream come true, and validates what I have been working so hard to build. It wasn’t long ago that I was selling Jordan sneakers and being a serial entrepreneur. Now I’m buying my own office building, establishing my company headquarters there, and pioneering a whole new ‘Class X’ sector. This isn’t just a real estate transaction, but the start of an entirely new frontier for how people will experience luxury at the office.”
