Terra and Lion Development Group Launch Sales For Jean-Georges Miami Tropic Residences, Michelin-Star Chef's First Residential Building

Co-developers Terra, led by David Martin, and Lion Development Group, led by Michael Simkins, have launched of sales for Jean-Georges Miami Tropic Residences. Located at 3501 NE 1st Avenue, at the nexus of Miami Design District and Midtown Miami, the building signifies Jean-Georges Vongerichten’ first foray into residential real estate. Designed by Arquitectonica with interiors by internationally acclaimed design studio Yabu Pushelberg, the 48-story tower will include 329 condominium residences and 27,500 square feet of retail at the ground floor. Douglas Elliman is exclusively handling sales for the project.

“We’re thrilled to be partnering with Jean-Georges and look forward to introducing a first-of-its-kind lifestyle offering which celebrates the tropical living of South Florida while creating a true cosmopolitan experience at the center of Miami’s cultural hub,” said David Martin, CEO of Terra. “Miami Tropic residents will enjoy exceptional amenities, design and culinary experiences at their fingertips in addition to walkable, convenient access to Miami’s most distinctive and desirable neighborhoods.”

Jean-Georges Miami Tropic Residences features over 41,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor amenities thoughtfully designed for wellness, gathering and entertainment. The building's ground floor will house Jean-Georges' abc kitchens, a blend of his popular plant-forward restaurant abcV, Latin concept abc cocina, and abc kitchen. Taste is everything at Miami Tropic, and beyond high-quality craftsmanship and finishes, its future residents will have access to everything from beautifully designed gardens to culinary experiences by Jean-Georges, hospitality-driven services and resort-style offerings.

“Miami Tropic represents a longtime dream of mine to open residences that blend my culinary passions with my interest in creating lifestyle spaces,” said Jean-Georges Vongerichten. “We are proud to partner with David Martin on this new venture, whose expertise we value very much, and look forward to collaborating once again with Yabu Pushelberg to bring our first residences to life.”

Designed to provide a curated suite of holistic experiences, Jean-Georges Miami Tropic Residences’ unique environment is meant to be imaginative, engaging, reinvigorating, and fun. The building’s lobby is immersed with tropical foliage while a private drive-up, porte-cochere offers convenient valet parking. Residents will have access to a podcast recording studio, an indoor-outdoor private dining room, a chef’s kitchen, bar and lounge, as well as outdoor recreation spaces with ping pong tables and a squash court. The wellness offering includes a juice bar, salon, and spa with treatment rooms and cold plunges. In addition to the restaurant by Jean-Georges, a private dining room and bar on the rooftop provides another ideal environment for entertaining, while the resort-style pool with private cabanas, landscaped gardens, outdoor theater, and outdoor kitchen and lounge provide moments for gathering and connection.

Miami Tropic’s architecture by Arquitectonica and interior design by Yabu Pushelberg seamlessly blends the urban tapestry of art and culture to form strong connections between the building and the people who live there. The tower's sustainably-minded architecture (Florida Green Building Design with Silver Certification) features a modern, glass façade with distinct layers and lush landscaping integrated at its base. The interiors, designed by the acclaimed BoF 500 design studio Yabu Pushelberg, offer an overwhelming sense of calm through verdant greenery, textured fabrics and natural materials. Known for their global portfolio of work including the Aman Residences, Tokyo, Edition Hotels in London, Miami, New York, and Jeddah, The Londoner in Leicester Square and La Samaritaine, Paris, among others, George Yabu and Glenn Pushelberg previously collaborated with Jean-Georges to design The Fulton by Jean-Georges in New York City.

"It has been a joyful, collaborative journey working with Terra and Jean-Georges," shared Glenn Pushelberg, co-founder of Yabu Pushelberg. "Having lived in Miami, we've witnessed the Design District's dynamic transformation firsthand. We are inspired to contribute to this pedestrian-friendly neighborhood with Miami Tropic where the city's lush, tropical environment blends with its vibrant culture," added George Yabu, co-founder of Yabu Pushelberg.

Catering to the sophistication and spontaneity of Miami buyers, Yabu Pushelberg’s interior design for Jean-Georges Miami Tropic Residences explores the intersection of joy and refinement, redefining luxury living by embracing exuberance and charm. Yabu Pushelberg placed an emphasis on light, openness, and spatial design, reflecting Miami’s unique ability to cultivate spaces that are both stimulating and tranquil. The interiors integrate shades of green and natural woods and stones, such as diabase, found in the tropics, similar to how Miami’s lush environment effortlessly blends with its art and culture-driven urban landscape. To pay homage to the Design District’s dynamic architecture, Yabu Pushelberg incorporated moments of bold, playful texture throughout Miami Tropic’s interior spaces and integrated artworks of bold color and adventurous compositions, quietly yet powerfully evoking the lush tropics.

In the residences, floor-to-ceiling glass windows flood with natural light and strengthen residents’ connection to the surrounding city. Each home offers one of two distinct color palettes: dawn, reflecting the delicate hues of early morning light, and dusk, evoking tranquility and sophistication through evening-inspired hues. Yabu Pushelberg worked closely with Jean-Georges to ensure the residential kitchens were intentionally crafted to be both functional and compelling with an expansive kitchen island, providing a culinary stage as the room’s focal point. The dawn-palette kitchens feature Crema Marfil marble countertops, orange-brown ceramic tile backsplash, warm champagne metal accents, and Italian wood cabinetry in a beachwood finish. The dusk-palette kitchens boast Green Diabaz stone countertops, dark blue ceramic tile backsplash, rubbed metal accents, and Italian wood cabinetry in a dark finish.

"We're excited to partner with David Martin and Terra on another joint venture and look forward to aligning our shared vision with Jean-Georges, Yabu Pushelberg and Arquitectonica in bringing this building to life. At Lion Development Group we specialize in world-class, community-based development projects such as Jean-Georges Miami Tropic Residences, blending hospitality, entertainment, technology, culture and the arts," said Michael Simkins, CEO of Lion Development Group.

Prominently situated on the border of Miami’s Design District in proximity to Wynwood and Midtown, Jean-Georges Miami Tropic Residences will provide future residents convenient, walkable access to luxury retail, dining, art, and culture. These colorful few blocks are accented by the artful storefronts of luxury retailers, eye-catching sculptural and architectural works like Sol Let Witt Sculpture Garden, Fly’s Eye Dome, and Daniel Toole’s Jade Alley, as well as immersive cultural experiences such as the Institute of Contemporary Art and BlackTower Gallery. The Design District is also a short walk to multiple parks and playgrounds, many of them bayfront, including Paraiso Park Paraiso, Martell Park, Roberto Clemente Park, Stearns Park and Albert Pallot Park.

Terra and Lion Development Group Acquire Midtown Development Site For $40 Million

A joint venture between leading Miami-based developers Terra, led by David Martin, and Michael Simkins’ Lion Development Group, has closed on the $40 million purchase of a prime 1.6-acre piece of property located at 3501 NE 1st Avenue in Miami. Plans call for an iconic luxury condominium tower designed by Miami-based architect Arquitectonica and international design studio Yabu Pushelberg set to rise at the nexus of Miami’s most in-demand neighborhoods, including the Design District, Midtown, Wynwood and Miami Beach. The joint venture has secured $30 million in financing from Metropolitan Commercial Bank, which will provide for the acquisition of the property and fund initial site development in advance of the project’s groundbreaking in 2024. Completion is estimated for 2026.

“Terra has long been committed to promoting design excellence and connectivity, so the opportunity to develop a tower at the gateway to the Design District, which has come alive as one of South Florida’s most walkable neighborhoods, is appealing. This tower will cater to residents who want to live steps away from world-class shopping, dining, and arts and entertainment – and minutes away from Miami Beach,” said David Martin, CEO of Terra.

“Here at Metropolitan Commercial Bank, we lend to best-in-class sponsors who are battle and time-tested experts in their asset class. We help them create and sustain generational wealth by understanding exactly how they create value, and by structuring our transactions to maximize this value creation. Terra has been on the front lines of reinvigorating some of the city’s most desirable neighborhoods for more than a decade now.

Rosso Development Celebrates The Grand Opening of The Standard Residences, Midtown Miami Sales Gallery

Developer Carlos Rosso and Standard International Executive Chairman Amar Lalvani hosted a cocktail event at The Standard Residences to celebrate the brand-new sales gallery in Midtown, Miami and the start of contract conversions. Attendees included future resident and NBA star Hassan Whiteside, Douglas Elliman CEO Jay Parker, Arquitectonica’s Raymond Fort, Urban Robot Associates’ Giancarlo Pietri and PROFILEmiami co-founder Demetri Demascus. True to form, the iconic hospitality brand offered a preview to what will come at the residences, including a multimedia installation from Oolite Foundation artist Jen Clay that will live in the building's shared spaces, a live art display by Juan Rozas, and an experiential poetry machine by O, Miami–a tribute to the project’s engagement with the community.

Being brought to life by hospitality and real estate pioneers Standard International and Rosso Development, in collaboration with Midtown Development, the first-ever The Standard Residences in Midtown Miami are already 70% reserved. The 12-story property blends culture, community and style with the world-class design, amenities and service that The Standard brand is known for–which to date has only been available at its hotels.

Located in the heart of Midtown, Miami’s most walkable neighborhood, the building is centrally positioned between The Design District and Wynwood and will feature 228 pied-à-terre-style residences ranging from studios to two bedrooms. The Standard Residences, Midtown Miami has tapped the industry’s best talent for this debut, including architecture by award-winning Arquitectonica, interiors by Urban Robot, and Naturalficial for landscape design.

In step with other Standard properties, residents will enjoy thoughtfully designed social spaces and amenities spanning 34,000 square feet across five floors including a lushly landscaped rooftop with a 60-foot, resort-style sunset pool, and signature rooftop restaurant and bar reminiscent of the vibe The Standard pioneered from LA to New York to London. Wellness offerings include a state-of-the-art sweat room and fitness center, an infrared sauna, an indoor pickleball court, and yoga and stretch studios. A social floor features a karaoke bar and screening room, while co-working spaces include a private boardroom and zoom rooms. A pet spa rounds out The Standard Residences’ anything but standard amenity package. Residents will also gain access to The Standard’s “Friends with Benefits” program, which earns them preferred pricing at all The Standard hotel properties around the world.

The sales gallery is located at 3252 Buena Vista Blvd. Suite 102, Miami.
