Aston Martin Residences Presents the Penthouse Collection
In the wake of top-off on construction for the sail-shaped Aston Martin Residences, a series of exclusive penthouses known as the Penthouse Collection was unveiled. There are currently 7 sprawling penthouses in the collection for the 66-story super-tall skyscraper. The most unique thing about these penthouses is that each floor plan and finishes are custom and 100% gorgeous.
The penthouses begin on floor 56 right above the amenity deck. Two of the penthouses, which are at least 8,800 square feet in size and cost between $16.7 million and $25 million, have already been sold. While the developer releases the collection, here is some exclusive information on penthouse number 5!
This penthouse located on the 60th-floor features 12,397 square feet of indoor and outdoor living space. Expanding through the entire floor, you will find 4 bedrooms, 6.5 bathrooms, and staff quarters. With 360 degrees of ocean and Miami views, this penthouse has it all, from the white marble to the floor-to-ceiling windows and beyond. Each penthouse includes a gym and a private terrace with a pool.
Did we also say that once you purchase one of the Penthouse Collection units, an Aston Martin DB11 or DBX will become yours? That’s right. And what makes it so much better is that you’ll be able to park your new Aston Martin in the signature garages designed just for your luxury car.
The lower-floor apartments, all of which face the ocean, start at a still-generous 3,600 square feet and $5.525 million, and include access to the building’s members-only community.

Plans Submitted in Miami for S-Shaped Mixed Use Tower
In 2018, plans for a 60-story mixed-use project located at 1370 NE 2nd Avenue in Edgewater was proposed. The proposal was expected to bring 100,000 square feet of office space, 1,100 residential units made up of condos and rentals, and 1,100 parking spaces. The developer, Cresent Heights purchased the land in March 2017 for $64 million but the project came to a standstill.
Now, alternative plans for the site have been submitted that still would include a large mixed-use complex. The developer for this project will still be Cresent Heights and they will be combining the $64 million dollar property with land owned by the School Board of Miami-Dade.
The 1.13-acre development site will be designed by Rafael Viñoly Architects and the towers themselves will take the shape of an S. The project will include 1,441 residential units, 100,000 square feet of office space (dedicated offices for the School Board of Miami-Dade County), auditorium, 19,673 square feet of office space for Cresent Heights, 5 levels of amenities, and nine levels of parking. The towers will rise 43 stories reaching 649 feet tall.
Amenities:
bowling alley
indoor basketball court
indoor lap pool
indoor running track
management office on the ground floor
9 parking levels (3 public, 6 restricted)
The developer has chosen to have the proposal reviewed by Miami-Dade County under the Metromover Subzone Zoning Standards. The move permits them to avoid the more stringent planning, zoning, and design approval required by the City of Miami.
Chillax: Diesel Wynwood to Include a Sensory Room for Residents to Disconnect
We are constantly seeing innovative and unique amenities in new developments in Miami. Those include helipads, a Dezervator (car elevator), and a “soccer field in the sky.” Now we can add a sensory room to the list thanks to the new pre-construction tower DieselWynwood.
Sensory rooms are environments designed to provide the user with an immersive sensory experience that includes varying lights, sounds, colors, sensory cues to calm, and other sensories that promote emotional and cognitive development. They are intended to assist users in engaging with their senses and reaping the advantages of sensory stimulation in a safe and calm atmosphere.
Sensory rooms have been in the news more recently especially in South Korea with the opening of a sensory cafe near Seoul Forest. According to Insider.com, South Koreans are so stressed that they are paying to visit this indoor sensory room so they can relax and do absolutely nothing for any amount of time they would like.
This cafe known as the Green Lab features floor-to-ceiling glass windows looking out at the lush vegetation of the Seoul Forest. In this room, customers must silence their phones and they cannot speak during the experience. According to a Green Lab employee, Bae Hyum, “It’s so hard to find spaces in Korean society where it’s acceptable to do absolutely nothing.”
As for the newest pre-construction tower in Miami, the Diesel Wynwood sensory rooms will feature restorative seating for relaxation, meditative visual features, and media installations. New information on these sensory rooms is being released every day and we are very excited to fo this newest amenity in a soon-to-be iconic tower in Miami.
Aston Martin Residences Construction Update
Aston Martin Residences is nearing the top off of the 66-story ultra-luxury tower located at 300 Biscayne Boulevard Way. Situated in Downtown Miami, this remarkable tower will be one of the Miami skyline’s most unique towers. Designed by BMA Arquitectos & Asociados with Revuelta Architecture International, the 816-foot tall sail-shaped skyscraper will vertically span 1.9 million square feet making it the 2nd tallest tower in Miami.
With Miami-based developer G&G Business Developments and the general contractor as Coastal Construction, the tower is progressing quickly. In October, the tower had already reached the 63rd floor. Now construction is at the 65th floor with netting taking the place of the floor-to-ceiling windows that will eventually be installed.
Vegetation is currently appearing on the pool deck located on the 55th floor as well. We are also seeing contractors carrying large sheets of floor-to-ceiling glass windows and installing them on the 52nd floor. Most of the mirrored siding/windows have been installed from the main to the 52nd floor. Rebar is also being placed on the perimeter columns of the top-floor penthouses.
Units range from studio to 4 bedroom floor plans with square footage beginning at 698. The largest square footage is 27,191 square feet for a penthouse unit that spans over three floors. Sales for Aston Martin Residences began in 2020 and since then a majority of the inventory has sold. River and Panoramic units start at $750,000 and rise to $8+ million depending on the floor plan and unit location. As for the Sky and Penthouse residences, units begin at $14 million reaching well over $50 million.

Midtown Miami Development Site Sold to ALMI Residential for Planned 389 Unit Tower
Midtown Miami has become a hotspot of late with the announcement of a new tower Standard Residences and now the newest tower to be announced Midtown 7.
Plans for Midtown 7 were originally presented to Miami’s Urban Development Review Board in 2016 but were denied due to limited information the Magellan Development Group (original developers) had proposed.
Megellan Development Group had originally partnered with the property owner, Midtown Development in 2016 and 2017. Those plans for the Midtown 7 tower included the development to rise 31 stories, feature 391 units, and 505 parking spaces.
AMLI Residential purchased the 1.85-acre site located at 3001 N.E. First Ave, Miami for $30.5 million. The site is approved for 389 residential units totaling 451,469 square feet. ALMI Residential is considered one of the largest apartment developers in the United States.
In addition to this approval, once the project is complete, ALMI Residential would transfer 28,000 square feet of retail space leasable to Midtown Development. ALMI Residential would have the first right of refusal if Midtown Development decides to sell the space.
Midtown 7 Amenities
Concierge
Private Pool
Covered Parking
Secure Entrance
24-Hour Security
Gym
Social area/ Entertainment room
Alex Vadia of Midtown Development stated, “We’re happy to welcome ALMI to the neighborhood once more. On the ground level, we’ll continue to line Midtown Boulevard with local retailers, lifted by the draw of select national favorites, like Trader Joe’s, which makes the Midtown neighborhood even more walkable and enjoyable for the public.”
Construction is expected to begin in 2022 with an anticipated completion date in 2024.
Notable Real Estate Developers Purchase the White House Inn Property in North Miami
Teddy Sagi and Jorge Pérez, Miami’s most notable real estate investors, have chosen their second South Florida property to invest in: the White House Inn at the gateway to North Miami. What once was a motel that opened its doors in 1969 later became a dilapidated building that saw many problems throughout the years, which later closed in 2014.
Along with BH Group, Pérez’s Related Group, and Sagi’s LabTech Investments Limited are teaming up to buy the waterfront property located at 2305 Northeast 123rd Street.
The 1-acre property is expected to be redeveloped into a luxury apartment complex that would cost around $85 million. Sagi and Pérez are expected to close on the $11 million sale next week.
The North Miami property was sold by a firm led by Mario Murgado, the owner of Murgado Automotive Group for $7.8 million in 2014. Murgado planned to demolish the White House Inn and replace it with a seven-story Ocean Cadillac dealership with a self-contained parking structure, top-floor showroom, and ground-floor restaurant.
Local residents were outspoken in their opposition to the dealership, fearing that it would bring a flood of traffic to the neighborhood. Later Murgado proposed an 11-story tower, Biscayne Harbour, that was approved by the city council but was never finished.
“One of those rare bayfront sites that’s gone underutilized for far too long,” and that the partnership plans to give North Miami “the entrance it deserves,” according to Pérez.
Not only is Pérez known for his work with the Related Group but he is a big player in the residential market as well. In July, he sold his Coconut Grovemansion for $33 million. Pérez also sold his Apogee Beach penthouse for $6 million.
