While White is known for his fine dining, MIKA will be a fresh concept that unites his skillset with a focus on humble hospitality. As a result, the restaurant will be an inviting and sophisticated neighborhood restaurant offering unapologetic food in a convivial setting.
White has teamed up with partners Alex Pirez -- founder of the luxury design-development firm Mocca Group and a restaurant investor responsible for Major Food Group’s Miami expansion -- and Matt Safchik – a seasoned food and beverage operator from Miami -- to bring this new culinary experience, MIKA, to Coral Gables.

A prodigy of his craft and dedicated disciple of Mediterranean coastal cuisine, White is known for his menus that celebrate the bounty of the Mediterranean Riviera drawing inspiration from the coasts of Italy, France and beyond. Awarded almost every significant recognition in the industry, his accolades include: Six Michelin stars, a three-star New York Times review and James Beard Award.

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’ first foray into residential real estate.
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.

Perched atop the luxurious JEM Private Residences in the heart of downtown Miami, these residences will seamlessly blend high fashion interior design with the art of living. OneWorld Properties is the exclusive brokerage for these exquisite sky villas, each priced from $8 million.
“We are excited about this special collaboration with FENDI Casa on the JEM Sky Villas. We look forward to bringing this limited collection of residences to downtown Miami,” said Miki Naftali, chairman and CEO of Naftali Group. “The JEM Sky Villas signify the evolving landscape of upscale living in this dynamic city, with each villa showcasing FENDI Casa's exceptional craftsmanship and meticulously designed furnishings at the crown of JEM Private Residences.”
The JEM Sky Villas with interiors by FENDI Casa offer spacious floor plans ranging from 5,083 to 5,277 square feet. Each villa includes four bedrooms, four and a half bathrooms, a library and a wraparound terrace, allowing residents to take in the breathtaking views of Miami's vibrant downtown and Biscayne Bay. One of the residences is also equipped with a hot tub adorning its expansive terrace.

The custom nature of the designs was curated to provide a special experience for the JEM Sky Villas, symbolizing how each of the penthouses are truly unique like the ‘JEMs’ within the crown of the building. The details were carefully selected, down to each piece of fabric and finish. Showpieces like the FENDI Casa Matrice bookcase highlight bold, jewel-tone colors in a geometric, sophisticated style.

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.
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.”
