E11EVEN Partners and PMG Break Ground On E11EVEN Residences Beyond In Downtown Miami's District 11

Developers PMG and E11EVEN Partners have broken ground on E11EVEN Residences Beyond, part of the E11EVEN Hotel & Residences Miami development, an ultra-luxury, dual-tower development located in Miami’s District 11. Located at 90 NE 11th St. in the newly expanded entertainment destination, the E11EVEN Hotel & Residences Miami project has taken Miami by storm, continuing to break sales records and offer a unique experience to buyers unlike anything the community has ever seen before. E11EVEN Partners Marc Roberts, Michael Simkins, and Dennis DeGori and PMG partners Ryan Shear, Kevin Maloney and Dan Kaplan are the developers of the E11EVEN Hotel & Residences development.

“E11EVEN Residences Beyond’s groundbreaking marks a crucial next step in constructing the future of District 11,” said Michael Simkins of E11EVEN Partners and co-developer of E11EVEN Hotel & Residences. “This incredible property offers residents an optimized lifestyle unlike any other in Miami, featuring top-notch dining, elite services, and lushly appointed residences all within one highly energized location. Once built, it will set the standard for ultra-luxury living and entertainment districts across the country.”

This groundbreaking comes on the heels of recent announcements at E11EVEN Residences Beyond including the addition of The Clayton, an ultra-premium $25 million private social and cigar club, and the recent expansion of the tower to offer additional units for sale and more amenity space, which was made possible by an incredibly high demand for these residences and record-breaking sales success across the dual-tower development as a whole.

E11EVEN Hotel & Residences’ first tower also recently announced Riviera Dining Group will join its extraordinary lineup of offerings with a second-floor restaurant with a ground-floor escalator entrance for direct access, as well as an upscale lounge and private membership club located on the tower’s rooftop.

“The groundbreaking of E11EVEN Residences Beyond is a monumental milestone for PMG and E11EVEN Partners,” said Ryan Shear, Managing Partner of PMG. “From its inception, E11EVEN Residences Beyond has carried a tremendous amount of buyer excitement and energy with it. From the private helipad to the stellar hospitality concepts like The Clayton, the caliber of offerings is unlike any tower in South Florida.”

“E11EVEN Residences Beyond places buyers in the epicenter of District 11, exposing them to the amazing business opportunities, high quality of life, and unparalleled 24/7 entertainment expected of Miami living,” said Marc Roberts of E11EVEN Partners and co-developer of E11EVEN Hotel & Residences. “We cannot wait to further cement this project’s status as a premier ultra-luxury residential development in Miami’s most coveted neighborhood.”

Centrally located in Downtown Miami’s District 11, E11EVEN Residences Beyond and E11EVEN Hotel & Residences Miami offers a resort-style, entertainment-driven experience and destination – the first of its kind in the Southeastern United States. Floor plans at both of its towers range from studios to two bedrooms in addition to a presidential collection and penthouse suites. Each unit comes equipped with fully-integrated “smart building” features, Subzero and Wolf appliances, custom ITALKRAFT Italian cabinetry, top-level finishes, and designer-curated furnishings. The soaring 65-story towers will be designed by internationally renowned Sieger Suarez Architects with interiors by award-winning design firm AvroKO.

Amenities for E11EVEN Residences Beyond and E11EVEN Hotel & Residences include a world-class Chopra Spa & Studio, a five-star restaurant collection by Riviera Dining Group, a casino-style sports lounge, a world-class med spa, a rooftop pool and bar, and an E11EVEN day club and pool on the 11th floor. In addition to the first tower's amenities, buyers at E11EVEN Residences Beyond will have ultra-exclusive access to the E11EVEN Beyond Members Social Club and private facilities only available to residents of the second tower including a helipad, a signature restaurant, fully staffed executive office suites, and a state-of-the-art fitness center, as well as the expanded resort-style pool.

“In all my years in the industry, I have never seen a residential building secure buyer attention and surmount previous standards of luxury living and day-round entertainment like this one has,” said Dennis DeGori of E11EVEN Partners. “The E11EVEN brand is committed to creating unique and captivating experiences, and it is safe to say that the two towers of E11EVEN Hotel & Residences Miami live up to this namesake with amenities like a day club, night club, and signature restaurants all at one’s doorstep. PMG and E11EVEN Partners have truly outdone themselves here with this one-of-a-kind, world-class building.”

Surrounded by waterfront vistas, One Island Drive will be one of the crowning achievements of Swire Properties’ portfolio of world-class properties and is destined to be a defining landmark on the Miami skyline.

With One Island Drive we will do it again, offering residents and hotel guests the highest level of service, accommodation, and luxury amenities, all of which are synonymous with the Mandarin Oriental brand.”

Historic "Woodsong" Home In Coconut Grove Designed By Legendary Architect Alfred Browning Parker Sells For $4.2 Million

The famed “Woodsong” home at 3003 Seminole Street in Miami’s hot Coconut Grove neighborhood has sold for $4.2 million. Featuring a stunning tropical modern design, surrounded by lush vegetation and a fresh-water pond, this home is truly one-of-a-kind. The buyer Pamela Day, developer and founder of Crimson Holdings, now owns a one-of-a-kind home that was built, and lived-in, by one of Miami's most iconic architects, Alfred Browning Parker. Known for his environmentally sensitive designs, this tropical modern home is one of his few remaining masterpieces and is affectionately named "Woodsong" as it is engulfed in mahogany wood, both inside and out. Compass represented both sides of the deal with Karina Reyes represented the seller Hans Feringa and Monique Feringa and Megan Probst represented the buyer.

The uniquely designed “Woodsong” home is made up of three distinct "pods" which are connected by an exterior breezeway featuring a 90-foot lazy river runs throughout the property. The backyard contains a sauna and a swimmable, freshwater pond.

The 4-bedroom, 5-bathroom, 2,600 square foot house is clad with solid Honduran mahogany, a valuable, high quality, durable wood that is one of the only genuine mahogany species that is grown today. Several floor-to-ceiling hurricane-impact windows and skylights, the home allows for an abundance of natural light and views into the botanical landscape. The “Woodsong” home is located in Miami's hottest neighborhood, Coconut Grove, with walkability to parks, the bay, and restaurants/bars.

As an ardent art collector and owner of multiple real estate assets in South Florida, Day's immediate connection to Woodsong was profound, perceiving it as a true work of art. Despite her extensive experience as a developer spanning over two decades, Day has no intention of altering Woodsong. Instead, she envisions herself as a guardian of the property, committed to preserving the architectural significance and original vision of Alfred Browning Parker, the esteemed architect behind Woodsong. Day regards it as Parker's magnum opus and aims to showcase it as such, carrying forward his legacy.
