Reasons We Love The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami On Brickell Key Posted on February 29, 2024March 7, 2024 by Sarah Elles Boggs In a booming real estate market like the one Miami is currently experiencing, it can be easy to get lost in the sea of new projects. In order to bring clarification for our readers and clients, we are going to discuss the features that stand out in our favorite opportunities for each neighborhood. To begin, we will discuss The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami, which is coming to Brickell Key. Having recently launched sales, this is one of the newest projects in the Miami area. It was initially announced in the summer of 2023, with sales launching in November. The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami is one of our favorite projects for a host of reasons. Location It is the oldest lesson in the real estate book; location, location, location. Owners at The Mandarin Oriental Residences, Miami will be fortunate to enjoy a one-of-a-kind location in Miami for this special project. One Island Drive is a sprawling 5-acre waterfront location, situated on the southern tip of Brickell Key. Brickell Key is a private island adjacent to the Miami Financial District, offering a tranquil haven to those seeking privacy. With such a large footprint for the project on the island, residents will have room to experience true resort-style living within the city where space is luxury. Rendering of The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami One Island Drive Brickell Key Pool Mandarin Oriental’s Views As the build site is on an island in the middle of the Biscayne Bay, the residences will each offer expansive views. Buyers will be able to choose between views of the Biscayne Bay, the Port of Miami, and several different combinations of bay and skyline. Higher floors will also offer views of the Atlantic Ocean. There is no floor plan or line of the building that offers a less-exquisite view. Another aspect of the view to be mindful of is the fact that all of the views are protected. One Island Drive is the last available build site on Brickell Key, which protects the immediate views to the north. There is no risk of a tower being constructed next door, blocking the adjacent views. The other three sides of the lot are direct waterfront, which are of course protected. Pictured below is the build site for The Mandarin Oriental Residences, Miami. The existing hotel will be demolished in order to make space for the new 60-suite hotel that will be constructed after the 220-unit residential tower is constructed on the green space shown. The developers have owned this development site for 40 years, waiting for just the right moment to put their finishing touch on Brickell Key Island. Mandarin Oriental Hotel on Brickell Key Miami The Project Makeup/Exclusivity and Privacy The Mandarin Oriental Residences, Miami will be divided into two sleek towers that share an amenity podium with over 100,000 square feet of exceptional resort-style amenities. Included on the amenity levels will be cascading infinity pools that offer the illusion of the crystal-clear ocean, private cabanas, world-class restaurants with award-winning chefs and a signature wellness center with fitness and spa facilities. Phase One is slated to include 220 private residences in a 64-story tower that rises 800 feet. These homes will range from an impressive 2,333 square foot two-bedroom plan to four-bedroom layouts that are over 4,000 square feet. In the lower floors, every floor has 5 residences with private elevators and expansive terraces. As you travel up the tower, the residences get larger with fewer per floor until you reach the penthouse level. On the top floors, Swire has planned two elegant duplex penthouses that cover an expansive 7,000 square feet under air and the most panoramic views you can imagine. The second tower will include the new Mandarin Oriental Hotel. It will be 400 feet tall and offer 151 guest rooms, 61 private residences and 28 hotel residences. The addition of this separate hotel tower will offer the true resort experience to owners of Mandarin Oriental Residences, Miami, yet without losing the privacy of living in a boutique development. The hotel tower will be accessible for the residence owners, yet hotel guests will only be permitted in the residential tower by invitation. Overall, the project will be evocative of a private tropical Eden. The landscape architects have planned lush greenery with flowering plants that offer natural canopy that extends from the Brickell Key boardwalk through the private project. Rendering of The Residences at Mandarin Oriental Miami Entry Brand Partners When considering new projects in Miami, branding has become all the rage. Residential developments are teaming up with fashion houses (Fendi Chateau, Armani Casa), auto makers (Porsche Design Tower, Aston Martin Residences, Bentley Residences) and hotels (St. Regis, Edition, Ritz Carlton). Looking into the partnerships with hotels, there are a few ways that the partnership works and each method has its own positive aspects. Some of the residential developments are built as a condo/hotel, others are purely residential projects built under the name of a hospitality brand and others have a separate onsite hotel that is built with the residential portion. Being that The Mandarin Oriental Hotel will be built onsite in its own tower, this allows the residents to enjoy a truly resort-lifestyle as well as embracing the privacy of living in a boutique development. The amenities and services are shared with the hotel, yet they operate with separate entrances and security in order to preserve the exclusivity. The Development Team – Swire Properties + Mandarin Oriental One of the easiest ways to predict the success of a preconstruction project is to review the portfolio of its developer. Although they are headquartered in Hong Kong, Swire Development has been active in the Brickell market for nearly 50 years. With a building style that is innovative and large-scale, their projects elevate neighborhoods and offer longevity to the buyers. You can see how they have earned their stellar reputation with a tour of Brickell City Centre or Brickell Key. Both mega-developments were completed with careful planning by Swire and The Mandarin Oriental Residences, Miami is to be the crowning touch to Brickell Key. “The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami, is the pinnacle of Swire’s four-decade-long journey in developing Brickell Key and it was essential we selected a stellar team to represent this property in Miami and around the world. By working with Fortune Development Sales and Christie’s International Real Estate, we are ensuring The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami will become a truly global destination,” said Henry Bott, President of Swire Properties. Brickell Key Miami, Florida Who Will Love The Mandarin Oriental Residences, Miami This project is being built with a specific buyer in mind. It is not being built for an investor to purchase blocks of rental units. This is an ultra-private and tranquil escape for a select few. With tower residence sizes that BEGIN at 2,333 square feet and ranging up to 4,000 square feet, people who will gravitate toward The Mandarin Oriental Residences, Miami are those who are used to estate-style living but are eager to scale down in size without sacrificing style. These buyers will be people to are eager to enjoy true resort-style living and are disinterested with continued upkeep of a private home.

Dezer’s Bentley Residences In Sunny Isles Breaks Ground Posted on February 27, 2024March 7, 2024 by Sarah Elles Boggs Construction has officially begun on the luxe Bentley Residences in Sunny Isles Beach, a partnership between Bentley Motors and Dezer Development. This week, the developer hosted a lavish event to celebrate the milestone on the project site at 18401 Collins Avenue in Sunny Isles. Built with the needs of Bentley car owners in mind, the 749-foot beachfront skyscraper will be home to the ‘Dezervator,’ a patented car lift that allows owners to display their collections in glass garages next to the residence itself… even in the 62nd-story penthouse. Rendering of Bentley Tower Residences Sunny Isles Wet Bar Inside Bentley Residences While the Dezervator is an incredible feature of the project, there are countless additional points to experience. With the essence of class and sophistication that sweeps through each of the 216 residences, guests and owners alike can enjoy resort-style luxury living in a boutique environment. Gil Dezer, who is one of the most successful developers in Sunny Isles, designed Bentley as a sister project to his Porsche Design Tower that was completed in 2016. The idea is an unparalleled level of luxury and convenience with the knowledge that a large portion of the owners will be billionaires. To-date, both Wyclef Jean and rapper Future have spoken for residences in the tower. Rendering of Bentley Residences Sunny Isles Miami Each of the residences themselves will balance the energy of the indoor/outdoor lifestyle and uninterrupted views of the Atlantic Ocean and surrounding waterways from each unit. In order to seamlessly maximize the views, the tower is wrapped in beveled floor-to-ceiling glass that causes a diamond-like sparkling effect to passers-by. This effect is designed to emulate the diamond pattern that is distinctly Bentley. With the indoor/outdoor lifestyle that is embraced at Bentley Residences, each home boasts a sprawling glass-guarded terrace with a living, kitchen and pool area. The indoor kitchens are appointed with seamlessly integrated Gaggenau appliance packages that offer refrigerators, dishwashers, wine coolers and cooking range/ovens. Rendering of Bentley Residences Sunny Isles Miami Rendering of Bentley Tower Residences Sunny Isles Indoor Outdoor Rendering of Bentley Tower Residences Sunny Isles Crown Resort-Level Services + Amenities Always pushing the envelope to stay on the cutting edge, Dezer has curated an amenity list that offers the best of convenience and style with the level of comfort and luxury that is synonymous with the Bentley name. Aside from the expected wellness center and social lounges, Bentley Tower elevates the level of luxury further. They have added an F1 simulator to the golf simulator room for those who are auto lovers through and through. The onsite restaurant is not just an available perk, it is an unrivaled five star food and beverage program by celebrity Chef Todd English. No detail has been spared in any instance of the development, which is the first-ever Bentley-branded tower in the world. The project is currently more than 50% sold, with purchase opportunities remaining from the $5 million range for 3-bedroom layouts to $57 million for the upper penthouse. Construction is set to be completed in 2027.

JDS Development Group Unveils Mercedes-Benz Places in Miami’s Brickell Financial District Posted on February 26, 2024March 7, 2024 by Sarah Elles Boggs Mercedes-Benz is entering the Miami real estate game by partnering with New York’s uber-successful JDS Development Group. Together they are bringing Mercedes-Benz Places to the Brickell Financial District. When completed, the sleek tower will reach 67-stories and offer 2.5 million interior square feet, making it one of the largest developments in Florida. The tower is currently under construction at 1 Southside Park in Brickell with 1133 SW 2nd Avenue as the address. This central address positions Mercedes-Benz Places with close proximity to the banks and financial institution that have made the area famous since the early 1980’s. It is also near the vivid entertainment and nightlife options that have flourished over the years. With a location that is convenient to I-95 access to Miami Beach or Miami International Airport is a snap. With 791 Mercedes-Benz residences, owners will be able to choose between a variety of residences sizes from studios to three bedroom layouts with spectacular views of the Biscayne Bay, the vibrant Miami cityscape, the Atlantic Ocean and beyond.

St. Regis Residences Sunny Isles Sales And Construction Update Posted on February 18, 2024March 7, 2024 by Sarah Elles Boggs The last time we checked in with the St. Regis Residences in Sunny Isles, the developers were breaking ground on the development and releasing the timelines for the twin-tower development. As we enter the Spring of 2024, Cheateaû Group and Fortune International are prepared to open sales of the second tower. Groundbreaking When they broke ground with a lavish ceremony and celebration in August of 2023, the development announced that the first tower had sold 75% of its 170 residences with prices starting at $3 million. Demonstrating the strength of their confidence in the project, construction commenced on both towers despite the fact that sales in the second tower had not even been released yet. Developers typically build multi-tower projects in phases as the residences are placed into contract. It is not uncommon for these residences to be constructed even years apart as the sales timelines allow. The sales at St. Regis Sunny Isles have proven to be so brisk that the developers have opted to begin construction on the entire project at once, so that buyers can realize the entire development at once. “It’s significantly more attractive to have both towers going up at the same time and delivering close to each other,” the developer told The Real Deal. Rendering of The St. Regis Residences Sunny Isles North Tower Terrace St. Regis Sunny Isles North Tower Debut It has been a busy season for the super-luxury development as 80% of the 170 residences in the South Tower have been sold, including the $55 Million upper penthouse. This has prompted the developer to begin offering the final tower as demand has remained high. Listening to market feedback over these last months, the floor plans of the North Tower residences are larger without sacrificing the level of security, privacy, service and luxury that buyers of the St. Regis Residences have come to recognize. Floor plans range from 1,800 square-foot plans with two bedrooms up to 5,500 square-foot plans with as many as 5 bedrooms. Prices begin at $4.5 Million up to $15 Million for the North Tower residences. The St. Regis Residences Sunny Isles North Tower Infinity Pool St. Regis Sunny Isles Amenities Being situated on a sprawling beachfront location, owners at the St. Regis Residences Sunny Isles will enjoy a draw-dropping 435-foot fully-serviced private beach. Those residents who prefer swimming pools will enjoy three ocean-facing pools with cabanas and lounge areas as well as an infinity-edge sunset pool. Facing the ocean, residents will have the choice of a tower pool, a beachfront club members pool as well as a family-friendly area that adds a splash pad. The 5-acre development also boasts a host of amenities for those with active lifestyles. The fitness club features both pickleball and padel courts, yoga, pilates, weights, spinning and virtual fitness classes in the indoor/outdoor facility that maximizes any weather we may encounter. For a relaxation kick, the spa concierge handles reservations for massages, beauty salon/barber services as well as a host of spa treatments. When you are feeling social, there will also be an area of the 5-acre development that caters to your group. There are dedicated lounges for adults, teens and smaller children. Adults will enjoy several lounges that include the Ellipse Club that adds a cognac room, wine bar and gaming. In total, there are over 70,000 square feet within the amenity levels. They are designed by São Paulo-based Anastassiadis and exclusively managed by the St. Regis Hotel Company. Although the tower bears the St. Regis name and services, there is no on-site hotel. This is a residential-only location in order to add to the exclusivity of the project. Rendering of The St. Regis Residences Sunny Isles North Tower Dining Lounge When completed in early 2027, the 62-floor development will reach 817 feet above the Sunny Isles Beach and bring 336 ultra-luxury residences to the exclusive enclave of South Florida. At 750-feet, the towers will be among the tallest on the beachfront strip. “The St. Regis brand is rooted in superior service and The St. Regis Residences, Sunny Isles Beach will execute this lifestyle effortlessly, with every detail carefully considered,” said Manuel Grosskopf, CEO of Château Group. “With infinite 360-degree views, this extraordinary oceanfront site is stunning from entrance to pinnacle. With a dramatic two-story lobby entrance to extensive amenities including a jaw-dropping infinity pool, the magic of the St. Regis brand is evident throughout the property.” If you are interested in a private presentation of the project, with specific pricing, please contact Michael Light, Broker and Executive Director of Luxury Sales at Douglas Elliman.

Rendering Of The Gale Hotel And Residences Downtown Miami Pool Why a Condo-Hotel might be right for you Many people are interested in ownership of a piece of Miami, but are from out of town yet visit frequently or commuters. What happens with this property when you are not in Miami? With a condo that has AirBnb permissions, you could lease the condo out in your absence. With this option. you will need to furnish the unit, arrange for management nearby that includes cleaning after each guest, check in/check out, the rental listing management and occupancy and so on. For those who prefer to be less hands-on, the condo-hotel is the better option. These units are managed by an in-house staff that is usually a large name (flag) hotel brand. When you take ownership, they are all furnished uniformly according to the brand standard and really all you have to do is let them know when you will be using the property. The hotel brand takes a portion of the nightly rate but you do not have to have any interaction with the guests. From the guests’ perspective, they are simply staying in the hotel as though they were staying in one of the standard rooms. It is more convenient but you do sacrifice the ability to decorate the residence to your taste.
