Residences in Jade Signature Will Feature Spacious Terraces

Residences in Jade Signature Will Feature Spacious Terraces

Posted in Luxury Real Estate, Miami | No Comments

Jade Signature will have large terraces that make up approximately a third of the total living space. The 55-story luxury condo building is set to rise in Sunny Isles Beach in Miami.

Units will range from 1,400 to 10,000 square feet, with expansive terraces playing a major part in the total living space. The architectural firm of Herzog & de Meuron designed the building hoping to create a full connection to the land and environment.

“We created deep terraces and living rooms that have simultaneous views to the ocean in the east and to the Intracoastal to the west. We designed common areas to be on the ground level, connected with the beach, just as they were originally conceived for the beachfront hotels that have drawn people to Miami since the early 20th century,” Christine Binswanger, a senior partner with Herzog & de Meuron stated.

Herzog & de Meuron is widely recognized for 1111 Lincoln Road, a mixed-use project in Miami Beach. Jade Signature will mark their first residential development in Florida. Other prominent designers have also been commissioned for the luxury beachfront condominiums. Landscape architect Raymond Jungles will supply landscaping, and interior design firm PYR will outfit the interiors. This is the developer’s third Jade project. Jade Ocean and Jade Beach are also located in Sunny Isles Beach.

Design for One Thousand Museum Revealed by Zaha Hadid

Design for One Thousand Museum Revealed by Zaha Hadid

Posted in Florida Economy, Luxury Real Estate, Miami | No Comments

Star architect Zaha Hadid revealed the design for her proposed luxury condos in Miami. The 61-story tower, called One Thousand Museum, is her first residential project in the US. The tower is set to rise on Biscayne Boulevard in Downtown Miami.

The residences will start at $4 million, with penthouses costing in excess of $30 million.

A Pritzker Prize-winner, Hadid herself owns a condo in the W South Beach.

She recently told the Wall Street Journal, “I really love Miami, but I don’t think the architecture matches the city. It’s a bit too commercial.”

She is hoping to change that with One Thousand Museum. Hadid’s tower will capitalize on the Miami location, without sacrificing design.

New Luxury Waterfront Condominium Buildings in Miami Beach are Selling Fast

Posted in Luxury Real Estate, Miami | No Comments

Located on the Intracoastal, Peloro will be seven stories high, with two and three bedroom units, a penthouse and a 2-story townhouse. The condominiums will range in size from 635 to 2,268 square feet.

Historic Waterfront Home in Miami Beach is approved for Demolition

Historic Waterfront Home in Miami Beach is approved for Demolition

Posted in Luxury Real Estate, Miami | No Comments

The Real Housewives of Miami star Lisa and her husband Dr. Leonard Hochstein recently received approval to tear down their Star Island home. They bought the 8,117-square-foot home for $7.6 million. The Hochsteins believe there are many issues with the house, such as cracks in the outside walls. According to them, the historic waterfront mansion cannot be salvaged.

The Miami Design Preservation League has been fighting to keep their home intact. The home was  built in 1925 and has recently been noted as historic, thanks to the preservation league’s efforts. The original house was designed by Walter DeGarmo, a prominent Miami-based architect.

William Cary, the city’s historic preservation director, states that the house wasn’t declared historic until after the Hochsteins purchased the home, making it unethical to deny their application.

“This is the most God-awful position that our staff can be placed in,” Cary said. “It would be ethically inappropriate for another board to intervene at this time.”

The new owners of the luxury waterfront estate plan on replacing the current home with a 14,000 square-foot mansion.

“I’m ecstatic,” Lisa Hochstein said after the approval. “I’m hopeful it will be done before this summer.”

The Hochsteins still need to receive building permits.

Alan Faena, a prominent Argentinean hotelier and developer, has aimed to revitalize Miami’s beachfront. His starting point is the Faena House Residences, a luxury oceanfront condominium complex on Collins Avenue.
