Rivage Opens Elegant Bal Harbour Sales Gallery Ahead Of Groundbreaking Posted on March 11, 2024March 11, 2024 by Sarah Elles Boggs Related Group + Two Roads Development have been working diligently, preparing for the upcoming groundbreaking of their new ultra-luxury beachfront development, Rivage Bal Harbour. Most recently, they have unveiled an elegant sales gallery in the Bal Harbour Shops where buyers can experience the quality and design that is soon to be constructed just across the street. Buyers can obtain appointments for a private presentation in the sales gallery by contacting me directly, and we can take an immersive tour of the development from the oceanfront location to an actual build-out of the residence kitchens and primary bathrooms. When completed, Rivage Bal Harbour will bring 56 total homes to the Bal Harbour beachfront location at 10245 Collins Avenue. The 275-foot tower has 25 total floors and nestles within the 200-linear-foot private beach and offers 2.67 acres of sophisticated lifestyle amenities. Rivage itself was designed by world-renowned architectural firm SOM, who designed notable projects that include the Burj Khalifa in Dubai as well as Chicago’s Willis Tower (formerly the Sears Tower). Inside, the trendsetting Rottet Studio handled the finishes. Their designs have adorned properties such as the $149 million penthouse at Central Park Tower in New York. Without a doubt, Rivage in Bal Harbour will be featured in countless design books and luxury home showcases. Rivage Bal Harbour Sales Gallery During the immersive sales gallery tour, buyers are able to see actual buildouts of a kitchen and dressing area as they will be upon completion. The kitchens offer custom Sub Zero and Wolfe appliance suites that are integrated with the wood cabinets and include gas ranges and full-height wine chillers. The marble countertops are adorned with Dornbracht fixtures. Rivage Bal Harbour Sales Gallery Kitchen Finishes Rivage Bal Harbour Sales Gallery Midnight Bar Each bedroom and dressing area offers custom closets with oak millwork and leather-lined drawers. The Rottet Studio-designed bathrooms are wrapped in marble, travertine and white oak with Dorbracht fixtures. The stone bathtub and custom lacquered vanity are highlighted by bespoke mirrors and lighting fixtures. Rivage Bal Harbour Sales Gallery Primary Bath Vanities Rivage Bal Harbour Sales Gallery Primary Bath One of the most notable traits of Rivage Bal Harbour is the fact that this is the ONLY ultra-luxury beachfront development in Bal Harbour, and the first to be constructed since Oceana Bal Harbour was completed in 2016. Layouts include three- to eight-bedroom residences, ranging from approximately 3,300 to 12,600 interior square feet. Prices begin at $8 million, up to $60 million. Penthouse details have not yet been released. The development team began marketing within private investment circles last spring, with 30% of the residences currently being sold. Now that there is a sample build-out to tour, it is expected that the remaining purchase opportunities will be absorbed quickly. “Bal Harbour is one of South Florida’s most special neighborhoods and an area we’ve wanted to build in for many years,” says Jon Paul Pérez, Related Group’s President. “Everything is in place to make this a truly once-in-a-generation project, from the site to the team, to the general scarcity of newly constructed high-end supply in this neighborhood. Together with our partners, we look forward to delivering a property that honors Bal Harbour’s glamorous history while helping shape its future.” Groundbreaking is anticipated very soon with completion coming in early 2027.

Happy New Year! | Top 7 New Construction Miami Condos in 2024 Posted on January 7, 2024January 7, 2024 by Michael Light We welcome 2024 with open arms and new construction condo buildings in Miami. At a time when inventory is low and demand is still high (yes, it is still high in Miami and the surrounding areas), there is no better time for a group of pre-construction projects on the horizon, than now. Miami is still the most sought-after city in the U.S. to call home and new stats on a global scale from Remitly indicate that Miami is the 2nd most desirable city to move to in the world, beating out Paris, New York City and London. I mean…when Jeff Bezos and Ken Griffin move their entire lives and businesses to Miami, permanently, you know it is the IT place to live! With all of the people still flocking to South Florida from New York, Connecticut, California, Illinois and abroad, developers see this as the perfect time to start marketing their new developments. And, they are being proven right…these new construction buildings are selling at a velocity never-before-seen (pre-Covid) in Miami, it is seriously unbelievable! But, there are 7 condo buildings below that have launched within the past 6-12 months that still have amazing opportunities. The 7 new condo developments below (in no particular order) offer different price points in varying neighborhoods…for those looking for a pied-a-terre to an expensive oceanfront condo and a mix in between, we have you covered. If you are interested in a private presentation of any of the new construction condos below, please contact Michael Light, Broker Associate, Executive Director of Luxury Sales and member of the elite Sports and Entertainment Division at Douglas Elliman Real Estate. Michael is an expert at navigating the pre-construction condo market in Miami and the beaches and has been for the past 15 years. Buying a pre-construction condo is very different than buying properties that are already built, so it is important to work with someone who is knowledgeable in this area of expertise. You may contact Michael directly at 786.566.1700 or michael@miamiluxuryhomes.com.

Inside Miami’s Hottest New Development Amenity – Gourmet Private Dining Posted on May 24, 2023May 27, 2023 by Sarah Elles Boggs “It’s the only restaurant in Miami that costs $5 Million to get a reservation,” joked Gil Dezer in a chat with The Real Deal. Dezer is one of Miami’s most prolific developers of super-luxury condo developments and the visionary that brought the latest trend to fruition. When he developed Porsche Design Tower in 2016, he included an exclusive residents-only gourmet restaurant on the property. This trend seems to have resonated with buyers, as there are now a few options for new buildings that offer the like. Here is a run-down of the different buildings and concepts that are to be offered… Rendering of Perigon Miami Beach Pool and Cabanas 1 – The Perigon Miami Beach Along Millionaire’s Row in Miami Beach, The Perigon Miami Beach is beginning construction on the boutique waterfront complex with just 82 private residences. To add to the luxurious experience, Starwood Capital and Mast Capital have partnered with Michelin-starred Chef Shaun Hergatt to bring both a private eatery as well as a speakeasy to the project. “We are designing more than a condominium at The Perigon, it is a private, highly serviced five-star resort exclusively for the owners. Additionally, our partnership with such a notable chef as Shaun Hergatt further solidifies the commitment to the quality of luxury The Perigon will offer to its residents,” said Camilo Miguel Jr, Mast Capital’s CEO. It has been revealed that the restaurant will be dubbed Nota and will feature locally-sourced ingredients centering around a clean, crisp Mediterranean-inspired palette anchored by rich seafood. Chef Hergatt plans to utilize wood fire grilling techniques in order to create approachable yet refined dishes that play to the understated elegance of the development. The private speakeasy is called Fifty Three, a nod to the building’s location at 5333 Collins Avenue. It will offer a playful aesthetic with bold colors and patterns with plenty of bronze accents tying in the whiskey-themed palette. Prices at The Perigon Miami Beach range from $4 million to $37 Million for Penthouse West. Rendering of Cipriani Residences Brickell Miami External View from West 2 – Cipriani Residences Miami The Brickell Financial District is going the extra mile to offer a taste of home to the New Yorkers who venture South for a more agreeable climate, lower prices and lower taxes. After the steady success of their Brickell restaurant location, which opened in 2015, Cipriani has partnered with MAST Capital to bring an entire residential development to the neighborhood. The sales were launched just over a year ago, with the sales center opening this past February. At the time of publication details of the associated restaurants a scarce, but we anticipate an offering that is open to the public as well as a more private restaurant within the project. It has been revealed that a residents-only speakeasy will be one of the many amenities offered. Prices at Cipriani Residences currently range from $1.4 million, up to $6.9 million excluding penthouses which have not yet been released Rendering of St Regis Miami Brickell Entry 3 – St Regis Miami Residences After hearing the call of buyers interested in the project, Related Group has opted to revamp their behemoth debut of the St Regis brand in Brickell to a more boutique project with just one tower and 150 residences. This allows for more of a private, VIP atmosphere in the bayfront development that is set to rise in the sleepy South Brickell section of the financial district. While there is no hotel component in the tower, it is exclusively for residents, there will be a St. Regis-branded tea room on site for these residents and their guests. Prices range from just under $3 million to over $8 million with each residence having a water and city view. Rendering of Residences at 6 Fisher Island Drive 4 – Six Fisher With an address on Fisher Island, residents expect next-level services and amenities, and Six Fisher delivers on expectation. If you are lucky enough to garner an invitation to consider purchasing in the newest building on the private island, which is also the last available development site, then you should come prepared to embrace top-tier amenities that will include private dining. Details of the amenities at Six Fisher are kept strictly under wraps at this moment, as the residences are immensely private, but we do know that a private restaurant is planned. Even if you choose a residence in one of Fisher Island’s existing buildings, there is a private club in the Vanderbilt Mansion that includes a private restaurant. Initiation fees to the Fisher Island Club are $250,000 for the first year. Several of the buildings are also home to onsite gourmet bistros for the convenience of residents and their guests. The residences at Six Fisher start at $15 million, with the crown jewel being a 15,000 square foot penthouse that is being offered for $90 million. There is also a ground-floor villa that boasts an unheard-of half acre backyard for $55 million. Rendering of Rivage Bal Harbour 10245 Collins Inlet 5 – Rivage Bal Harbour In a neighbor that is no stranger to ultra-luxury, The Related Group has partnered with Rockpoint and Two Roads Development to bring the first luxury tower in almost ten years. The last residential development to be completed along the sandy beaches in Bal Harbour was Oceana, which was completed in 2016. Rivage is set to be completed in 2026 and will bring 56 ultra-luxury residences with sweeping views and sprawling floor plans to the neighborhood, along with an array of highly curated amenities for the jet set crowd that embraces the lifestyle of Bal Harbour. Among these amenities will be a private restaurant, according to Jon Paul Perez, who is heading the plans for this elegant development. “Bal Harbour is one of South Florida’s most special neighborhoods and an area we’ve wanted to build in for many years,” says Jon Paul Pérez, Related’s President. “Everything is in place to make this a truly once-in-a-generation project, from the site to the team, to the general scarcity of newly constructed high-end supply in this neighborhood. Together with our partners, we look forward to delivering a property that honors Bal Harbour’s glamorous history while helping shape its future.” As of today a chef and cuisine offering has not yet been announced, although a private dinner presentation that was recently held at the Surf Club Four Seasons a few blocks away has offered a preview of the quality that will be offered. Prices of the bespoke residences at Rivage Bal Harbour are expected to start at $8.5 million to upwards of $65 million for the upper penthouse. Rendering of Bentley Tower Residences Sunny Isles Crown 6 – Bentley Residences Gil Dezer is at it again. After the resounding success of Porsche Design Tower in Sunny Isles combined with feedback from prospective buyers, he has added a sister tower to PDT (Porsche Design Tower). Bentley Residences in Sunny Isles offers many of the amenities that made their debut in Porsche, with a more feminine and elegant touch. These amenities include the Dezervator, Mr. Dezer’s signature patented car elevator that allows owners to park their car collections on the doorstep of their sky residences, and also a private signature restaurant. At Bentley Residences in Sunny Isles, Dezer has partnered with celebrity chef Todd English, who is also a four-time James Beard Award recipient. “Luxury is defined in many different ways, but taking solace and having more personal space in your own way is a great feature of new luxury experiences. It’s like carving out your own niche. Today, the more we become automated, the more we need our own personalized space, and the resident-only restaurant is a perfect example of newly defined luxury experiences,” English said. Once opened, Chef English plans to be very hands-on with the culinary experience of Bentley’s residents. There will be a private residents-only restaurant as well as in-home dining or poolside al fresco dining and drinks. The curated cuisine is anticipated to be freshly sourced with a relaxed yet sophisticated atmosphere. Prices at Bentley Residences Sunny Isles range from $5.5 million to $57 million for the upper penthouse. Rendering of Villa Miami 7 – The Villa Residences Back on the mainland in booming Edgewater, the latest development to offer culinary delights as a selling feature also offers the most extensive package of exclusive gastronomically-focused amenities. With Major Food Group as a development partner, The Villa Residences will be curating food and beverage experiences throughout the building. There will be a new signature restaurant spanning 2 levels that offers waterfront dining and private dining rooms, at-home private chef services and cooking lessons, and of course catering. A juice bar and coffee lounge awaits you in the morning as you rush off to your day, or poolside dining and drinks as you lounge. Mario Carbone himself even put his touch on the design of the kitchens and the appliance packages. The entire development centers around gastronomy. When residents go traveling, their VIP status travels with them, offering the ability to acquire special reservations and signing privileges at any Major Food Group concept around the world. Prices for Villa Miami begin at $4.5 million up to $30 million. How It Works Having a private 5 star restaurant is an amazingly opulent amenity, particularly given the practical side of it. Restaurants are not inexpensive to run. Between the dining and kitchen space, ingredients and staff, the tab ads up quickly, especially with the level of service and cuisine offered in these buildings. So how does the restaurant run? The developers typically add the cost of the build out to the initial finishes of the building’s construction. It is up to the HOA to maintain the space and cost of operation. Furthermore, these restaurants are not designed to turn a profit the way that a public restaurant would. It is solely designed for the enjoyment and convenience of the residents. With the HOA taking care of staff salaries, menu prices are able to remain reasonably priced. You should always tip your server though.

Rivage is set to offer a limited collection of just 56 beachfront residences just a stones throw from Bal Harbour Shops. The light-filled residences are set to range in size from just under 3,300 square feet to almost 13,000 square feet of air-conditioned space.

The Related Group + Partners Debut Rivage Bal Harbour With New Renderings Posted on January 26, 2023January 28, 2023 by Sarah Elles Boggs The Related Group, in partnership with Two Roads Development and Rockpoint, is entering the Bal Harbour market with Rivage, a 24-story oceanfront tower at 10245 Collins Avenue. The new super-luxury boutique project has just 61 residential units and over 25,000 square feet of shared amenities. The 61 open-concept residences offer between 3,300 and 13,000 square feet of interior space and are priced between $8 million and $65 million. “Bal Harbour is one of South Florida’s most special neighborhoods and an area we’ve wanted to build in for many years,” says Jon Paul Pérez, Related’s President. “Everything is in place to make this a truly once-in-a-generation project, from the site to the team, to the general scarcity of newly constructed high-end supply in this neighborhood. Together with our partners, we look forward to delivering a property that honors Bal Harbour’s glamorous history while helping shape its future.” Rendering of Rivage Bal Harbour 10245 Collins Pool Gardens The 275 foot tower will rise over the sand just steps from Bal Harbour Shops on Collins Avenue. It is one of the more complicated new projects that Related Group has undertaken as the 2.7-acre build site is currently the home of a 14-story residential tower that was built in 1956. In order to begin Rivage, the development team had to convince over 90% of the owners at the aging condo development that it is in their best interest to sell. These “condo terminations” as they are commonly referred to, are exceedingly complicated and time consuming, even after the tragedy in Surfside in 2021 ushered in new legislation that motivated many owners to move forward with selling. Rivage is set to offer an elegant tropical modern aesthetic with plenty of bright flowers, flowing natural shapes and an indoor/outdoor vibe throughout the building. The structure itself consists of three interconnected oval-shaped sections of glass walls that is inspired by a crystalline coral reef. The entry and external columns are enveloped with pre-cast stone panels, further accentuating the coral reef ambiance. Rendering of Rivage Bal Harbour 10245 Collins From Beach Rendering of Rivage Bal Harbour 10245 Collins Valet Keeping in tune with their other developments in the ultra-luxury sector, Related Group anticipates buyers will also like to purchase multiple units in order to create custom-designed homes within the building’s footprint. Each of the residences will offer in-unit elevator lobbies, a private parking garage within each unit and oversized terraces with direct views of either the Atlantic Ocean or the nearby Biscayne Bay. The shared amenities are set to include a fitness pavilion with inspiring views, a hammam, hot/cold plunge pools, private treatment rooms, pickleball and paddleball courts as well as a lushly landscaped oceanfront pool. The two lower penthouses range in size from 8,700 square feet to around 9,500 square feet and will be priced at $50 million and $45 million. The upper penthouse will be offered at around $65 million. Details of these designs are to follow. Closings are expected in late 2025 or early 2026. Rivage is especially interesting to buyers in Bal Harbour at this time because the area has been under a drought of new inventory in recent years. The next-newest development is Oceana Bal Harbour, which is also wildly successful and was built in 2016, making Rivate a welcome addition to this section of Miami Beach. Douglas Elliman is the exclusive broker for Rivage Bal Harbour.
