Founder of Barstool, Dave Portnoy, has recently been using his massive social media platform to travel the United States and taste test pizza on his vlog called ‘One Bite’. These posts are featured on Barstool Sports as well as his blogs. Within the past month, Portnoy has been exclusively in South Florida documenting pizza joints.

It was rumored that during his visits he started renting Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s Miami beach front property for $200,000 a month. Now, it has officially been confirmed that he purchased a bay-front Miami mansion for $14 million.

The Rooftop Penthouse at 57 Ocean – Asking $38M

The difficult thing about selling pre-construction real estate is that it’s difficult for most buyers to envision what the property will look like once it’s completed. Well, thanks to advancements in computer technology, that may no longer be a concern. Multiplan Real Estate Asset Management, the developer of 57 Ocean in Miami Beach, recently unveiled a 90-second CG rendered video of its crown-jewel penthouse. The video, which took 1,100 hours to make, was produced by award-winning creative agency DBOX at a cost of $180,000. It showcases the five-bedroom penthouse in all of its splendor. The penthouse features 7,800 square feet of living space, a remarkable 7,100 square feet of terrace including a rooftop pool, 360-degree views, a den, and six full bathrooms.

57 Ocean, an ultra-luxury, oceanfront condominium building located in Miami Beach’s “Millionaire’s Row”, is slated to be completed later this year.

The Liaigre-Designed 3-Bedroom Condo at The Ritz-Carlton Residences Miami Beach – Asking $5.61M

Some properties sell themselves. LPH-20 at The Ritz-Carlton Residences Miami Beach is one such property. The Liaigre-designed, 3-bedroom condo is an absolute jaw-dropper. From the moment you walk into the residence, you’re welcomed to sweeping views of Biscayne Bay and the Downtown Miami skyline. The great thing about The Ritz-Carlton Residences Miami Beach is that it is surrounded by single-family homes, so the views from it are completely unobstructed from higher floors. Current zoning laws in that neighborhood prohibit structures from being built as high as The Ritz-Carlton Residences Miami Beach, but the developer, Lionheart Capital, developed the property from an existing 1,000,000-square-foot hospital that had been grandfathered in. Had the developer demolished the hospital and started anew, the new structure would have been required to abide by current zoning regulations. The end result…a condominium development boasting some of the most amazing, 360-degree views of the bay, city, and ocean.

Lower Penthouse 20 at The Ritz-Carlton Residences Miami Beach is a sprawling 3-bedroom residence with 3.5 bathrooms, a family room, 3,431 interior square feet, and 420 square feet of terrace space (see LPH-20 floor plan). It features a Piero Lissoni-designed Boffi kitchen with Gaggenau appliances, stone countertops, and a gas cooktop as well as a Piero Lissoni-designed master bathroom with stone floors and walls, a jetted soaking tub, Zucchetti fixtures, an over-sized glass-enclosed shower with a rainfall showerhead, and His and Hers vanities. And those unfamiliar with Liaigre furnishings, they’re nothing short of spectacular. Founder, Christian Liaigre, an iconic French interior and furniture designer who passed away this past September, is renowned for his minimalist design and emblematic use of wood and leather.

As mentioned in a previous post, I truly feel that The Ritz-Carlton Residences Miami Beach is Miami Beach’s best-kept secret. The 7.5-acre site houses some of the best amenities and services that can be found in a South Florida residential development. But don’t take my word for it. I urge you to check it out for yourself. If you or anyone you know has an interest in touring LPH-20 and/or other options at The Ritz-Carlton Residences Miami Beach, contact me (Lucas Lechuga) at [email protected]. I may also be contacted by phone at 786-247-6332.

The Ritz-Carlton Residences Miami Beach – Miami Beach’s Best-kept Secret

After visiting The Ritz-Carlton Residences Miami Beach several times over the past ten months, I can honestly say that I’m absolutely in love with the building and property. In fact, coupled with the iconic service one comes to expect from The Ritz-Carlton brand, The Ritz-Carlton Residences Miami Beach sells itself! The floor plans are very spacious and well-thought-out, the finishes (which were designed by the late Piero Lissoni) are refined and sumptuous, and the views are truly breathtaking. But perhaps the best thing about The Ritz-Carlton Residences Miami Beach is its location; it is centrally located in Miami Beach at 4701 North Meridian Avenue. Its location allows residents of the building to be close to the action but not right smack in the middle of it. Over the years, living in the heart of Miami Beach (in South Beach on Ocean Drive or Collins Avenue) has lost its appeal; it is no longer the tranquil place to live it once was. On the other hand, living at the Ritz-Carlton Residences Miami Beach is as serene as living in a waterfront house on North Bay Road.

Some of you may be thinking, “That’s great and all, but I wouldn’t want to live in a building that has a hotel component to it”. Well, that’s the beauty of The Ritz-Carlton Residences Miami Beach; it is only 1 of 12 standalone Ritz-Carlton properties in the world without a hotel component. Residents of The Ritz-Carlton Residences Miami Beach enjoy the same Ritz-Carlton service enjoyed by guests of its hotels around the world but without sacrificing any peace or privacy.

Despite being a boutique residential development with only 110 condominium residences and 15 two-story villas, The Ritz-Carlton Residences Miami Beach offers a laundry list of amenities one would expect from a development three times its size, including a private captained day yacht; a house chef; a house car; beach club memberships at Nobu Eden Roc Resort; a pet grooming room; a private theater; a rooftop pool deck with an infinity-edge pool, poolside cabanas, and poolside grille; an on-site spa with steam rooms, sauna, and treatment suite; an art studio; a kids room; and more. Below, you’ll find a full list of the amenities and services provided by The Ritz-Carlton Residences Miami Beach:

Ritz Carlton Residences Mia… by Lucas Lechuga

With prices ranging from $1.8M to $14M, The Ritz-Carlton Residences Miami Beach offers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5-bedroom residences ranging in size from 1,969 to 5,936 interior square feet.

I’ve included below a full photo tour of the amenities and common area spaces at The Ritz-Carlton Residences Miami Beach. As beautiful as the property looks in the photos, I promise that you’d be even more blown away when seeing it in person.

South Beach Record-Breaking Sale at Monad Terrace

Although South Beach and Downtown Miami are located only seven minutes away from one another by car, their real estate markets seem to exist in different dimensions. While Greater Downtown Miami continues to be troubled by oversupply issues, South Beach is enjoying record-breaking sales. Recently, a four-bedroom, four-and-a-half bath residence at Monad Terrace sold for $1,912 per square foot ($6.15M), making it the highest priced sale on a per square basis for a non-penthouse condo on West Avenue in South Beach.

Designed by Pritzker Prize-winner Jean Nouvel and designed by JDS Development, Monad Terrace is an all-glass tower featuring 59 individually suited waterfront residences. It will be located along the bayside of South Beach at 1300 Monad Terrace. The units will enjoy seamless indoor/outdoor experiences, 10-foot high ceilings with floor-to-ceiling glass windows, custom wood flooring throughout, black Zeus marble and black mirrored entry, private or semi-private elevator access, unique sawtooth honeycomb facade in select units, and custom flush doors. Amenities at Monad Terrace will include full-service concierge, sun deck with 116-foot swimming pool and hot tub overlooking Biscayne Bay, pool service, lagoon fitness and wellness center, residents’ lounge, bicycle and water sports storage, Monad Terrace bicycles and paddle boards, cafe and juice bar, full-service valet parking.

Art Basel Special: Top Miami Trophy Properties Day 2

Last week, we were invited for a tour of the Penthouse Collection at 1 Homes South Beach and WOW! The way that the residences and hotel have been redesigned by internationally renowned Brazilian interior designer, Debora Aguiar, it is as though you are living in nature in the most glamorous way.

Ms Aguiar used an abundance of plant life in the most creative ways, driftwood finishings to bring the feel of a beach house into the development and oversized windows and terraces to really celebrate the project’s oceanfront location. She also tied in all of the modern conveniences and elegant touches that you would expect in a South Beach trophy property. To be honest, after the tour, I could have filled the entire week-long series with trophy residences here, but let’s start with one.

For those who have not yet visited 1 Homes, it is located along Collins just between the W South Beach (where Zaha Hadid lived) and the Faena District. It is walking distance to the Bass Museum of Art as well as the Miami Beach Convention Center, which makes for another reason it should be included on this week’s list.

Penthouse 1610 is located on the southeast corner of the building, offering amazing sunrise views of the ocean and plenty of large windows for those who enjoy the afternoon breeze. It has 4 bedrooms, 5.5 baths and a den over two levels. There is 3,955 square feet of interior living space and 745 square feet of terraces overlooking the pool area and beach. The apartment is fully finished and furnished by Rose Ink Workshop, a local interior design company founded by Liubasha Rose, the famed former Vice President of Design at Starwood Capital Group. It is estimated that $150,000 was spent on furnishings in each room of this penthouse.

Owners enjoy all the privileges and conveniences of resort living at this LEED certified property while having access to four elevated oceanfront swimming pools, an onsite SoulCycle studio, a 18,000-square-foot spa and fitness center, priority seating at three exceptional restaurants and bars from award-winning chef Tom Colicchio, and a stylish rooftop pool and restaurant-bar with panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean and Miami skyline.

The penthouse is available for purchase for $20 million including all of the services offered to members of 1 Homes. You are also welcome to use any of the other 1 Homes locations, which include Brooklyn and Central Park in New York as well as Cabo San Lucas in Mexico and will soon include West Hollywood, Haitang Bay China, and Silicon Valley.

Eighty Seven Park Goes Vertical In North Beach

Pritzker Prize-winning starchitect, Renzo Piano’s 87 Park will soon rise from the site just north of North Shore Park in Miami Beach. The developer, Terra Group, has finalized their construction loan and completed the 300 foundation pilings necessary to start bringing the 18 story project vertical.

Sales were launched in 2016, attracting the likes of Michael Huffington, the Conde Nast family and tennis star Novak Djokovic, all of whom are among the buyers in the 66 unit project that is now 60% sold. The boutique tower was named based upon it’s location, nestled between two parks at 87th Street and Collins.

The 35 acre North Shore Park to the South is set to be redeveloped with money contributed by the developer. This park will be shared with the public, but a more secluded park will also be available only to residents. Each of the 66 apartments will come with a key to the door and a key to the park, much the way New Yorkers covet a key to Gramercy Park. The private key park will be built by the designers of the new New York Governor’s Island.

Prices start at $1.7 million up to $45 million for the penthouse, which comes with a rooftop terrace and private pool overlooking the ocean.

Louver House Is Over Half Closed; New Pics

Nearly two months to the day after they received their certificate of occupancy, South of Fifth’s Louver House has closed over half of their sales. The boutique development has closed 7 of only 12 units just steps from the beach in Miami Beach’s family friendly and super walkable South of Fifth neighborhood.

The project was designed by award-winning Miami architect, Rene Gonzalez, who sought to incorporate the residents’ desire for privacy with their love of the outdoors. The building’s signature architectural detail, the louvers, serve to offer beauty, privacy, shade and fresh air. They also offer a beach concierge for the residents.

“We’re excited to finally present Louver House because it has all the key elements buyers are looking for in today’s luxury residential real estate market,” says Camilo Miguel Jr., CEO of Mast Capital, the developer. “To us, luxury is about amazing finishes, expansive spaces and the ability to enjoy a sense of privacy. This building offers a unique lifestyle that places residents in one of Miami Beach’s most exciting neighborhoods, but because of its small scale, also serves as an exclusive, family-friendly enclave.”

Remaining opportunities are listed for between $2.575 million up to $3.1 million for purchase and $11,000-$13,000 per month for rent. The remaining four residences are all floor plans with 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths. The square footage ranges between 2,000-2,500 square feet.
