Check Out The Stunning Drone Images Of The Newly Delivered, Herzog & de Meuron-Designed Jade Signature in Sunny Isles Beach

Following the grand opening of the iconic, Herzog & de Meuron-designed Jade Signature, Fortune International Group has released new imagery of the revolutionary, eco-conscious tower. Following years of anticipation since its 2013 groundbreaking, Jade Signature’s 192 residences are more than 95% sold and move-ins have begun.

The beauty of the newly completed Jade Signature reflects the top talents of a trio of the industry’s greatest collaborators including world-renowned Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron, the visionaries behind the Tate Modern in London, 1111 Lincoln Road, and the Peréz Art Museum Miami; celebrated Miami landscape architectural firm Raymond Jungles Inc.; and Parisian interior design firm PYR, led by Pierre Yves-Rochon, who has gained international prestige for elegant interiors in top luxury residences, spas and hotels, including the Four Seasons George V in Paris, and The Savoy in London.

“Ana Cristina and I are thrilled to deliver this monumental building to our buyers, many of whom have eagerly followed the progression of the Jade brand, showing confidence in our vision by purchasing during the pre-construction phase,” said Edgardo Defortuna, President and CEO of Fortune International Group.  “When you have this level of support behind you – from the creative team to the brokers and buyers – anything is possible.”

“Now that Jade Signature is complete, it gives us tremendous pride to be able to present the final product to our new homeowners from around the world,” added Ana Cristina Defortuna, Executive Vice President of Fortune International Group. “Jade Signature was a dream – and the result is breathtaking.”

Jade Signature has achieved a new standard of design by utilizing the natural environment in an eco-conscious manner. The tower’s expansive units are marked by flow-through-style floor plans, not only ensuring optimum ventilation, but enabling owners to cool their residences naturally year-round. An influx of sunlight is maximized across the grounds due to the building’s slightly angled position along the beach. A three-story underground parking garage eliminates the need for an unsightly pedestal and subsequently creates a seamless connection between the ground floor and the pool, as well as the deck, gardens, beach and ocean beyond. This unique structural design additionally allows for more landscaping and vegetation around the base of the property. 

Resort-style amenities include a stunning beachfront deck with an organic, zero entry free-form swimming pool, secluded cabanas, a heated spa surrounded by nature, and a 25-meter lap pool.  Private beach amenities include chaise lounges, umbrellas and an oceanfront restaurant with towel and beach service. Jade Signature also has a full-service spa for residents and guests, complete with a sauna, steam room, hammam, relaxation zone, and treatment rooms. Additional property amenities and services include a state-of-the-art fitness center, library and reading lounge, wine bar, clubroom, entertainment and game lounge, business center, playroom and tech lounge for children and teens, full-service concierge, private elevator entrances, and smart technology throughout.  

Although nearly sold out, Jade Signature has a limited assemblage of residences remaining among the tower’s most luxurious units. Known as “The Collection,” the portfolio is a compilation of two-story Sky Villas and penthouses, ranging from $14.2 million to $32.9 million.
