North Development is launching a ground-breaking new condo-hotel that is poised to revolutionize the hospitality sector in Miami’s Brickell neighborhood, Domus Brickell Park. Ricardo Dunin, CEO of Oak Capital and Edifica are partnering on this project creating the North Development group.

With 171 fully equipped condo-hotel suites Domus will rise 12 stories tall and will be located in the vibrant Brickell neighborhood at 1611 SW 2nd Avenue. The superbly designed studio, one, and two-bedroom units, with sizes ranging from 330 to 979 square feet and costs ranging from $400,000 to $900,000, were created by Zyscovich Architects with interiors by Urban Robot.

Owners will pay far less in fees without sacrificing the integrity of the high-end hospitality concept by getting rid of the developer’s ownership of the common areas while still providing professional management for the individual units. The project’s prohibition against yearly occupancy for periods longer than six months and one day gives it another competitive edge. Although still enabling out-of-towners to enjoy their units while in Miami, this minimizes the natural friction between long-term residents and the transient rental market.

Before arriving, guests can check in online and get the entry code for their unit on their phone. By giving the building a chance to get acquainted with the visitors beforehand, this not only provides convenience but also boosts building security. Only owners and visitors can enter the units because the access key is needed to utilize the elevator. There will also be a visitor call center open around-the-clock.

The Peacock Room is located in the expansive lobby at the center of the structure. This area offers a full range of food and drink options throughout the day, including a market, fine wine, specialty brewed beer, and gourmet coffee. It has mellow music, high-speed internet, and co-working spaces that will draw both locals and visitors. Domus Brickell Park has a wellness area with modern fitness equipment, a steam room, and other amenities. Also, there is a rooftop pool deck with cabanas, a hot tub, a grilling area, and an entertainment space.

North Development has a long-term interest in utilizing the Domus brand in other areas, and the building is anticipated to open in late 2025.
The sales center is located at 1200 Brickell Avenue, Miami.

Todd English, a celebrity chef and four-time James Beard Award winner, will collaborate with Bentley Residences to create the menu and atmosphere for the development’s resident-only restaurant.

The exclusive restaurant will be open to residents for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and will offer private catering as well as poolside dining. It is situated on the lobby level and offers views of the pool and ocean. For a few resident-only events and demonstrations, chef Todd English will personally show up at the exclusive restaurant.

This exclusive gastronomic experience, with furnishings designed by Bentley Motors, will be one-of-a-kind and available only to the residents and their invited guests. There is a connection and link to the famed automobile brand thanks to the use of numerous fabrics and materials that were inspired by high-end luxury Bentley cars.

For instance, Bentley’s distinctive diamond patterning, which is present on the building’s external architecture as well, is referenced in the high-gloss flooring. For an upscale melancholy vibe, the private restaurant’s interiors combine a dark color scheme with strong details. The room’s forest green backlit banquettes give it a sense of seclusion, and the dramatic louvers that cover the walls give it a dramatic feel. For a more laid-back and informal dining experience, there is also plenty of bar seating available.

Todd English is known for being a restauranteur, author, and television personality, as well as his current establishments, Olives, Figs, and Pappas Taverna in New York City. He is also well-known for his appearances on the Food Network, PBS, and well-liked shows like Top Chef and Iron Chef. The private restaurant by Todd English, which is slated to provide residents a relaxed yet upscale atmosphere, will be the chef’s first private condominium idea.

A selected cuisine will also be offered for in-residence dining, and the menus will change seasonally. After being voted “National Rising Star Chef” by the Maryann Beard Foundation in 1991, English initially became well-known internationally for his take on rustic Mediterranean food. The dining experience will be enhanced by his extraordinary expertise and charm, which will offer a personalized touch with every meal.

According to English, “Every aspect of Bentley Residences has been so thoughtfully designed to perfection and I’m incredibly honored for this opportunity to partner with Gil Dezer and further elevate the luxurious lifestyle through unique culinary creations for residents. We’re excited to provide a curated experience with rotating seasonal menus that will make dining at Bentley Residences a joy for residents and their guests.”

The first private restaurant from Chef Todd English will benefit from his decades of expertise developing some of the most well-known restaurants in the world. English is well known for his cooking, but he has also been on a variety of television programs, including Iron Chef, Top Chef, The Today Show, and Food Trip with Todd English on The Food Network. He has additionally worked as the Executive Celebrity Chef for a number of high-profile occasions, such as the Super Bowl, Fashion Week, Tony Awards, and Sundance Film Festival.

About Bentley Residences

Bentley Residences will feature an amazing 20,000 square feet of private amenities over the course of three stories in addition to the resident-only restaurant. A whiskey and cigar lounge, wellness and renewal spa, movie theater, cabanas, and a seaside beauty shop are a few of these extras. One of the most amazing features is the Dezervator, a car elevator that allows homeowners to drive their vehicles from the first floor up to the privacy of their own houses without getting out of the vehicle. Residents can maintain their beloved automobiles in immaculate condition and keep them on display in their living rooms thanks to the Dezervator and the glass-enclosed garage.

The 62-story building at 18401 Collins Avenue in Miami’s Sunny Isles Beach, Bentley will feature 216 condos with starting prices at $5.25 million. Units will have enormous outdoor terrace areas, state-of-the-art Gaggenau cooking appliances, and panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean and Intracoastal.
