Carolina Herrera Opens New Flagship Boutique in Miami Design District

New York-based fashion house Carolina Herrera has opened its new flagship boutique located in the heart of the Miami Design District, one of the world's leading destinations for luxury, art, and design. The nearly 3,000-square-foot boutique brings the full world of Carolina Herrera to Miami and celebrates the work of female artists throughout its design. Miami Design District is a neighborhood renowned for bringing together fashion, architecture, and culture through a distinctly creative point of view.

The boutique marks the House's sixth U.S. boutique and a significant milestone as Carolina Herrera celebrates its 45th anniversary. Home to the complete world of Carolina Herrera – including ready-to-wear, eveningwear, handbags, accessories, beauty, fragrance, and eyewear – the flagship debuts with the Fall 2026 runway collection which was inspired by “Women in the Arts,” as well as the newly introduced handbag line, offering an immersive destination where fashion, art, and design come together through the lens of Carolina Herrera.

"This new opening is a significant milestone in the brand's 45th year and an exciting opportunity for the business. For the past several years, we have been working closely with Craig Robins and his team to find the perfect location where our women's ready-to-wear and accessory collections will complement the district's mix with our vibrant, feminine point of view. This new boutique reflects the elegance, color, and sophistication at the heart of the house, while offering an elevated and highly personal experience for our clients. We are thrilled to celebrate this next chapter in Miami, bringing the spirit of Herrera to this extraordinary community," says President, Emilie Rubinfeld.

Conceived as bespoke expression of the world of Carolina Herrera for the Miami Design District, the boutique reflects the optimism, warmth, and joyful beauty long synonymous with the House. Envisioned by Creative Director Wes Gordon and developed in partnership with interior designer Brandi Howe and Jessica Hyland of Hyland Studio, every architectural detail, material, and custom furnishing was designed to remain unmistakably Carolina Herrera while embracing the vibrant spirit of Miami. From the moment guests arrive, the boutique establishes its identity through a dramatic custom façade envisioned by Gordon. Characterized by a grand architectural arch and sculptural limestone finish, the entrance serves as a bold first gesture, setting the tone for an experience where fashion, art, and design exist inseamless dialogue.

Signature House codes unfold throughout the interior in curvilinear forms, soft shades of pink punctuated by vivid red, rich textures, and bold geometric flooring. Created exclusively for the Miami boutique, a custom flooring design combines white limestone with rare blush-pink travertine, whose naturally occurring soft rose tones lend warmth and depth while underscoring the House's enduring affinity for color and craftsmanship. Soft pink Venetian plaster infused with shimmering mica creates a luminous backdrop, while sculptural travertine fixtures, tactile finishes, and elegantly upholstered seating introduce warmth and intimacy, balancing architectural precision with a welcoming sensibility. Together, these elements create an environment that is both refined and inviting.

Custom-designed furnishings further reinforce the dialogue between fashion and interior design. A sculptural serpentine sofa anchors the main salon, combining graceful curves with classic detailing to create a natural gathering place within the boutique. Throughout the space, bespoke seating and fixtures reference the craftsmanship of couture, translating the House's refined aesthetic into three-dimensional form.

The journey through the boutique continues via a sculptural staircase wrapped in natural fiber wall coverings and punctuated with marble display insets that showcase the House's eyewear collection. Upstairs, oak parquet flooring introduces a warmer character, where Carolina Herrera Beauty welcomes guests upon arrival, creating a seamless transition between fashion, fragrance, and the complete world of the House.

"The Carolina Herrera woman is bold, elegant, and joyful. She embraces color, expresses herself with confidence, and never shies away from making an entrance," says Creative Director Wes Gordon. "Her energy is magnetic - much like the spirit of Miami - so it feels entirely natural that we should open our next home here."

As a continuation of Carolina Herrera for Women in the Arts, the House's ongoing platform championing female-identifying talent across the arts, the boutique features a series of original commissions that extend the dialogue between fashion, contemporary art, and design.

Argentine artist Constanza Vallese created a custom floral motif exclusively for Carolina Herrera that appears throughout the boutique as a unifying design element. Expressed through sculptural tables, vases, and decorative fixtures, her work brings an organic femininity to the space while reinforcing the floral language that has long been synonymous with the House.

Suspended above the boutique's central salon, Los Angeles-based artist Liz Oliver designed a dramatic textile installation inspired by organic shell forms. Its sculptural draping pays homage to one of Carolina Herrera's defining design signatures, introducing movement, softness, and a sense of theatricality that transforms the chandelier into a work of art. Created specifically for the proportions of the boutique, the installation serves as the visual centerpiece of the space, seamlessly connecting fashion, craftsmanship, and contemporary design.

Additional handcrafted ceramic planters were commissioned from Brooklyn-based studio Choplet Ceramics, an all-women collective whose work celebrates female craftsmanship and artistry. Their sculptural vessels introduce a natural element throughout the boutique while reinforcing Carolina Herrera's commitment to supporting women across creative disciplines.

“Miami Design District is a place where great brands are encouraged to fully animate their artistic vision. With this new store, Carolina Herrera has blended architecture, design and materiality to immerse customers in their world, whether they are longtime devotees or experiencing it for the first time. The store is a special experience where the complete expression of the House comes to life and legacy and innovation are intertwined,” says Craig Robins, founder and CEO of Dacra, who has led the development of the Miami Design District.

More than a new flagship, the Miami boutique marks a meaningful chapter in Carolina Herrera's continued evolution. Created exclusively for the Miami Design District, it reflects the House's enduring commitment to craftsmanship, artistic collaboration, and joyful elegance while celebrating the creative dialogue between fashion, architecture, and design that defines both Carolina Herrera and its new home.

The Carolina Herrera Miami Design District boutique was realized in partnership with architect of record Dakota Hendon and Red Door Construction.

Banyan Tree Residences West Palm Beach Receives Unanimous Approval for Development Plans

Banyan Tree Residences West Palm Beach has reached a major development milestone after receiving unanimous and unconditional approval from the West Palm Beach Downtown Action Committee to utilize Transfer of Development Rights (TDRs), clearing the way for the luxury residential project to advance with its current design.

The approval, granted on August 12, allows the development to move forward at 25 stories with a 5.5 floor area ratio (FAR). The decision preserves key elements of the project's architecture and development program while providing greater certainty as the team advances toward construction and financing.

Developed by Mast Capital and Curated JCZM Development, Banyan Tree Residences West Palm Beach will introduce Banyan Tree's flagship brand to the United States for the first time. The project will feature 88 private residences in the heart of downtown West Palm Beach. Sales are exclusively led by Douglas Elliman Development Marketing, with residences starting at $1.9 million.

The approval follows approximately a year of engagement between the development team, City staff and neighborhood representatives. The project's podium and ground-level design were among the elements highlighted during the process, including landscaping intended to strengthen the building's relationship with the surrounding pedestrian environment and downtown streetscape.

"This unconditional approval and the unanimous vote by the West Palm Beach Downtown Action Committee is a landmark moment for the project," said Camilo Miguel Jr., CEO and founder of Mast Capital. "It's a powerful validation of the exceptional team, including OMA, Yabu Pushelberg, and Enea Landscape Architecture, and further proof of the caliber of design we set out to deliver from day one. As West Palm Beach continues to evolve into one of the country's most dynamic markets, we're proud to be an integral part of the city’s new chapter, and this approval gives us a clear, unobstructed path to bring that vision to life."

Banyan Tree Residences brings together an internationally recognized design team led by OMA, the architecture firm co-founded by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Rem Koolhaas. Yabu Pushelberg is designing the interiors and amenity spaces, while Enea Landscape Architecture is overseeing the project's landscaping. The development represents the first project in the neighborhood for each of the design partners.

The residential concept emphasizes connections between interior and exterior spaces, incorporating nature throughout the architecture, landscaping and amenity environments in a reflection of Banyan Tree's hospitality roots. Every residence within the building is planned as a corner unit, creating multiple exposures and further emphasizing natural light and views.

A substantial portion of the development will be dedicated to wellness and resident amenities. A full-floor wellbeing environment will incorporate a spa, meditation dome and garden, rainforest showers, cryotherapy, hammam, steam room, sauna, soaking baths and cold plunge.

Additional amenity levels will feature a fully serviced resort-style pool with private cabanas, an open-air cinema and private speakeasy lounge. Residents will also have access to a private porte cochère, indoor and outdoor fitness pavilion, Pilates studio, children's discovery garden and dedicated treatment spaces.

The extensive wellness component brings an experience historically associated with Banyan Tree's international resorts and spas into a residential setting in the United States. Banyan Tree has established a global portfolio of resorts and branded residences across more than 20 countries, with West Palm Beach now serving as the location for the flagship brand's U.S. residential debut.

Ownership will also extend beyond the West Palm Beach property through The Sanctuary Club, providing residents preferred access to Banyan Tree's international network of more than 100 hotels and resorts and over 140 spas and galleries across more than 20 countries.

The milestone comes as West Palm Beach continues its transformation into a major destination for luxury residential development. With the Downtown Action Committee's unanimous approval now secured, Banyan Tree Residences West Palm Beach can advance with its planned 25-story design, bringing one of the newest international luxury hospitality brands to enter the rapidly evolving South Florida market.

Arbor Residences Receives Certificate of Occupancy at 80% Sold In Coconut Grove

Arbor Residences has officially received its Certificate of Occupancy, marking the completion of an extraordinary vision for Coconut Grove. The achievement for the 45-residence boutique condominium in Coconut Grove comes as the project has also passed 80% sold. With the Certificate of Occupancy resident move-ins can now commence.

The milestone holds profound meaning for the Kodsi family and the entire Arbor team. More than the completion of a building, it represents the fulfillment of a dream shaped by the late Isaac Kodsi, Arbor’s beloved developer and guiding force.

“Arbor is more than a residence; it’s a visionary answer to the ever-evolving Coconut Grove landscape, committed to offering a nurturing, enriching and satisfying way of life. Our goal is for residents to find not just a home, but a welcoming vibrant community, live in comfort and thrive.” Said developer Isaac Kodsi.

Designed by Behar & Font, Arbor Residences comprises 45 homes featuring high ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, natural wood finishes, Bosch appliances, and spacious layouts that complement the Grove’s tree-lined character. Amenities include a rooftop terrace, pool deck, fitness center, 24-hour concierge service, and valet.

Located just around the corner from Coconut Grove’s central corridor and CocoWalk, Arbor offers a residential oasis within one of Miami’s most established and walkable neighborhoods. Pricing on available homes begins at $1.8 million, with two-bedroom-plus-den and three-bedroom, two-bath residences currently available. Sandra Masis of Cervera Real Estate, who has overseen sales since the project’s revival, continues to lead sales and marketing as Arbor enters its final phase.

Isaac Kodsi, the Miami developer and founder of Ark Capital Group, acquired Arbor out of foreclosure in 2023, returned buyers’ deposits, and restarted construction, restoring momentum to the stalled project. A longtime Coconut Grove resident, Isaac was deeply involved in the neighborhood and committed to its growth. He passed away unexpectedly in August 2025 while the building was nearing completion.

The development continues under the leadership of his daughter, Camilla Kodsi, who grew up in Coconut Grove and attended school in the neighborhood. Having worked alongside her father throughout the project, she has seen Arbor through final inspections and completion with the support of the Kodsi family. Camilla plans to continue her work as a developer in Miami, carrying forward both the Arbor vision and her father’s broader legacy at Ark Capital.

Sabal Development Sells Contemporary Coconut Grove Estate For $22.5 Million

Sabal Development, the Miami-based luxury residential developer, has sold a custom contemporary estate at 4040 Kiaora St. in Miami’s historic Coconut Grove neighborhood for $22.5 million. The residence was designed and built by the firm’s construction arm, Sabal Luxury Builder. Lourdes Alatriste served as the listing agent for the sale.

The masterfully crafted residence features six bedrooms and eight bathrooms across 8,833 square feet of livable space, totaling 9,503 square feet under roof. Designed to offer a profound sense of spaciousness and elegance, the home is defined by its soaring ceilings and light-filled interiors that effortlessly establish a luxury lifestyle experience.

“Our vision for 4040 Kiaora Street was to create a modern sanctuary that balances high-end architectural design with the natural beauty of the Coconut Grove canopy,” said Pascal Nicolai, founder and CEO of Sabal Development and Sabal Luxury Builder. “Because we develop, design, and build under one roof, every decision — from the structural envelope to the last interior finish — was made by the same team, with the same standard. The result is a complete lifestyle experience, combining expansive entertainment spaces with private wellness amenities.”

The interiors were conceived by Vitaliya Alkhovik, founder of Interiors.Vita and Executive Director of Interior Design for the Sabal organization, who led the interior architecture, finishes, and furnishing of the estate. Her design layers warm natural materials, custom millwork, and gallery-scale volumes to bring the Grove’s tropical light into every room.

“The house sits inside a mature canopy, so the interiors had to feel like a continuation of the landscape rather than a contrast to it,” said Alkhovik. “We worked with organic textures, soft mineral palettes, and generous proportions so the architecture, the greenery, and the daily life of the home read as one continuous experience.”

The heart of the estate is its seamless transition from the indoor living areas to an expansive outdoor oasis, making it a premier destination for upscale entertaining. The resort-style exterior is anchored by a tropical heated pool and spa, framed by a backdrop of mature, lush greenery. For outdoor dining and hosting, the property features both a covered summer kitchen and a dedicated outdoor kitchen cabana.

Inside, the home delivers an array of premium, lifestyle-driven amenities that cater to modern luxury demands. Health and wellness are prioritized with a private, fully equipped home gym, while indoor leisure is elevated by a custom-designed movie theater. The property also features a detached private guest house, providing versatile, high-end accommodations for visitors.

Founded in 2009 by Pascal Nicolai, Sabal Development is a Miami-based firm specializing in ground-up luxury residential development across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties. It operates in full vertical integration with its construction arm, Sabal Luxury Builder, delivering bespoke, ultra-luxury residences from land acquisition through design, construction, and final furnishing. Known for exceptional quality and principal-led oversight of every project, the Sabal organization builds from Miami and Coconut Grove to Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, and Palm Beach.

Constellation Group and Ironwood Venture Group Complete Seaglass Cove In The Florida Keys

Constellation Group and Ironwood Venture Group have completed SeaGlass Cove, a 14-residence oceanfront community in Marathon, and the closing of an $8.46 million permanent loan from Centennial Bank.

Waterfront Estate on Hibiscus Island Sells For $51.5 Million Setting New Record on Miami Beach's Palm and Hibiscus Island

A waterfront estate at 270 S. Hibiscus Drive has sold for $51.5 million, setting new records for both sale price and price per square foot on Miami Beach's guard-gated Hibiscus and Palm Islands. The transaction surpassed the previous record sale of approximately $40 million, despite that property encompassing a larger residence on a larger lot. The home uniquely features include a full-size Ferrari Testarossa replica suspended in the main living area as a sculptural centerpiece.

Dora Puig of Luxe Living Realty represented the buyer in the transaction. Jordan Karp of Jordan Karp LLC represented the seller.

"This sale reflects where Miami Beach's luxury market is today," said Smykalov. "Buyers continue to recognize the value of exceptional design, craftsmanship and waterfront locations. Properties of this caliber rarely become available, and demand remains strong when they do."

The property, which was recently completed, is coming to market for the first time since the seller acquired it as an unfinished shell in 2021. Rather than simply complete the original plans, the residence was reimagined through a joint venture led by Luis Bosch, founder of Luis Bosch Luxury Homes, who oversaw the home's redesign and construction, and managed by Denis Smykalov of Wolsen Real Estate.

The estate combines two waterfront lots totaling approximately 21,000 square feet, with 120 feet of water frontage, and offers more than 10,000 square feet of living space. The residence includes five bedrooms, a maid's quarters, six full bathrooms, two half bathrooms, a private office and a fitness center. Additionally, it is one of the few homes in Miami Beach that features two private docks. The docks are capable of accommodating a yacht measuring up to approximately 105 feet.

One of the home's defining features is a fully soundproof private nightclub with its own private entrance, allowing it to function independently from the main residence. Designed for entertaining, the space includes professional nightclub lighting, laser effects, disco balls and a dedicated air conditioning system. An oversized pool cabana bathroom with two toilets was also designed to accommodate large gatherings.

Originally designed by a local architect, the residence was later reimagined by SAOTA, the internationally acclaimed South African architecture firm formerly known as Stefan Antoni Olmesdahl Truen Architects, with interiors by fellow South African design firm ARRCC and landscape architecture by renowned landscape architect Raymond Jungles.

Bosch, who has spent more than 20 years building luxury waterfront residences throughout Miami Beach, assembled a team of architects, designers and craftsmen to execute the project.

"Our goal was to create a home that would stand the test of time," said Bosch. "Every finish, every material and every design decision was carefully considered. We focused on quality at every stage of construction to create a residence that feels as exceptional today as it will decades from now."

Craftsmanship is evident throughout the residence. Walls are wrapped in custom millwork incorporating multiple exotic wood species, while the kitchen features handcrafted cabinetry by Bon Vivant Custom Woodworking, a South Florida company specializing in custom architectural millwork since 1981. The home also features Bronze Armani stone, shellstone and multiple varieties of natural marble throughout. Hand-selected travertine was sourced from Rome specifically for the project, while the infinity-edge pool is finished with Bali stone imported from Indonesia. A custom powder-coated steel and aluminum exoskeleton further distinguishes the home's engineering and construction.

The record-setting sale reflects the strong demand for newly completed waterfront residences on Hibiscus and Palm islands, where limited inventory and architecturally significant homes continue to command premium values.

Development Spotlight: Ziggurat Coconut Grove

Coconut Grove has emerged as one of Miami’s most coveted luxury residential markets, driven by a combination that is increasingly difficult to replicate: lush tropical surroundings, waterfront access, walkability, top schools, established neighborhoods and proximity to Miami’s major business districts. The Grove’s village-like character and limited supply have helped distinguish it from Miami’s more densely developed urban neighborhoods, while a new generation of luxury residential projects, restaurants, offices and retail has continued to elevate the area without sacrificing the qualities that make it unique.

Ziggurat Coconut Grove represents a natural extension of that evolution. Developed by The Allen Morris Company in partnership with the Espinosa family, the highly curated mixed-use project brings together just 19 ultra-luxury residences, a five-story trophy office building, approximately 45,000 square feet of retail and dining, and landscaped pedestrian spaces within a low-rise environment designed specifically for Coconut Grove. Rather than attempting to redefine the neighborhood, Ziggurat embraces its scale, greenery and indoor-outdoor lifestyle, creating a project that feels distinctly rooted in the Grove.

Designed by Oppenheim Architecture, with residential interiors by Collarte Interiors, Ziggurat will further enhance its surrounding neighborhood through open-air paseos, restaurants, boutiques, wellness offerings and a central landscaped courtyard. Directly across from the development, Kirk Munroe Park is slated for an approximately $8 million renovation through a partnership between The Allen Morris Company and the City of Miami, extending the project’s impact beyond its property lines and into the surrounding community.

With demolition now complete and the development advancing toward site work and vertical construction, Ziggurat is positioned to become one of the defining additions to Coconut Grove’s next chapter. Completion is anticipated in early 2028.

Project Overview

Located at 3101 Grand Avenue, Ziggurat Coconut Grove is a highly curated mixed-use development designed around the scale, walkability and character of its surrounding neighborhood.

The development will comprise two architecturally distinct buildings: a five-story, approximately 100,000-square-foot trophy office building and an intimate three-story residential building featuring 19 ultra-luxury condominium residences. Approximately 45,000 square feet of ground-floor retail will further activate the development with dining, boutiques, wellness concepts and gathering spaces organized around open-air pedestrian paseos and a central landscaped courtyard.

Demolition at the site has been completed, clearing the way for site work and vertical construction. The project is supported by a $138.5 million construction loan from BDT & MSD Partners and BHI, with completion anticipated in early 2028.

Why It Matters

Coconut Grove’s continued evolution has increasingly centered around projects that balance new development with the neighborhood’s established identity. Rather than introducing another conventional high-rise, Ziggurat embraces a low-rise approach that integrates residential, office, retail, dining and public space within a highly landscaped setting.

The project also introduces a significant new trophy office component to Coconut Grove, complementing its limited collection of luxury residences and curated retail environment. Together, the uses are designed to create an active mixed-use destination that strengthens the connection between Grand Avenue, Commodore Plaza and the surrounding Grove community.

Directly across from the development, Kirk Munroe Park is slated for an approximately $8 million renovation through a partnership between The Allen Morris Company and the City of Miami, further enhancing the public realm surrounding the project.

Architecture & Design

Designed by Oppenheim Architecture, Ziggurat takes its architectural identity from Coconut Grove’s tropical landscape and distinctive sense of place. Natural stone, cascading greenery, deep terraces and landscaped open spaces are incorporated throughout the development, creating architecture intended to feel integrated into the Grove rather than separated from it.

The project’s low-rise massing is organized around landscaped courtyards and open-air pedestrian paseos connecting its residential, office and retail components. Landscape architecture by Andres Arcila with Naturalficial further integrates vegetation into the architecture, while the residences feature interiors by Collarte Interiors.

The result is a contemporary interpretation of Coconut Grove living centered around natural materials, indoor-outdoor spaces and the neighborhood’s established pedestrian scale.

Plans call for a mix of bistros, boutiques and wellness concepts designed to create activity throughout the development and reinforce the pedestrian-oriented character of the surrounding neighborhood.
