With the newest condominium project in Miami, Cipriani Residences Miami is adding to its illustrious portfolio once more with its exclusive first glimpse at the exquisite interiors of the highly anticipated development.

The renowned hospitality organization chose the internationally renowned studio 1508 London to design the interiors of Cipriani Residences Miami, which is the group’s first residential skyscraper built from the ground up. 397 homes with one to four bedrooms will be available in the building, all of which have views of Coconut Grove, Brickell, and Biscayne Bay.

The Cipriani Residences Miami exudes a stylish, contemporary ambiance, similar to the burgeoning Brickell district, but with a European flair. Consider furniture covered in Italian leather, chandeliers from Venice, and rooms with beautiful walnut finishes. The enormous curved glass high-rise by Arquitectonica blends seamlessly with the city’s financial district’s skyline.

The double-height foyer, which modernizes Venetian design, is one of the building’s most alluring aspects. The elegant area is layered with Italian terrazzo floors, oak accents, and an actual Murano glass chandelier. It was designed to transition from day to night. The color scheme combines distinctive Cipriani tones with warm camel and blue tones.

Each house, which ranges in size from 1,213 square feet to 3,495 square feet, includes floor-to-ceiling glass windows, large terraces, and lofty 10-foot ceilings as standard features. Among the opulent features you’ll discover inside are open eat-in chef kitchens, integrated Wolf Sub-Zero appliances, and light pendants with Art Deco influences, as well as Dornbracht fixtures in the main bathroom and, of course, handcrafted Italian cabinetry designed to reflect the Cipriani aesthetic.

CEO and Founder of Mast Capital stated, “The interior design of Cipriani Residences Miami demonstrates a fundamental richness that recalls the timeless elegance of four generations of the Cipriani family. 1508 London has envisioned an offering that captures both the inherent spirit of Cipriani and the sophisticated lifestyle of Miami.”

The developer is expecting a sellout of approximately $1 billion. The groundbreaking is anticipated for the end of 2022 with a top-off date in 2025 with a completion date in 2026. Reservations are expected to be converted to contracts next month which will coincide with the launch of their sales center.

Freddys Speakeasy Downtown Miami

Freddys, a speakeasy-themed bar, will debut on August 25 in the heart of downtown Miami and is located right within the InterContinental Miami hotel.

Take the escalator up to the lobby, then search for a plain white door leading to the Chopin ballroom towards the rear of the building. You will be given instructions on how many times to tap (think morse code) and how to accomplish it after receiving your desired reservation.

According to the website, “Our host will permit entrance to those with the correct knock.”

You’ll discover a romantically lit treasure box with soft chairs, elaborate Oriental rugs, and a candlelit bar behind the embellished curtains. Here, you may order drinks that evoke the Prohibition era and are created with herbs, house-made bitters, and freshly squeezed juices.

Due to Freddy’s limited seating capacity of 12 people, reservations are required only for seatings at 5 p.m., 7:30 p.m., and 10 p.m. on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights.

This quiet, inconspicuous lounge is perfect for the gram. There’s also a coat rack brimming with flapper-inspired accessories located at the entryway to dress like you’re in the actual era.

Freddy’s is located at 100 Chopin Plaza at the InterContinental Miami. For more information, click here.

Plans for a 30 Story Tower in North Miami Beach are Announced by BH Group

BH Group Announces New Tower in North Miami Beach

After purchasing land in North Miami Beach, developer BH Group is planning a 30-story residential structure located at 2261 N.E. 164th Street.

The 1.96-acre site was sold by CK Prive Group 164 LLC, controlled by Bruno Bloch in North Miami Beach, to the BH Group in Aventura for $11 million.  The property increased in value since it was last sold for $8.3 million in 2016.

Currently on the property is a 1969-built warehouse of 35,538 square feet. The warehouse will be destroyed, according to BH Group, and a skyscraper with 400 luxurious residential units will be built in its place.

CFE Architects of Miami Lakes will be the architect for the project.

After the city rezoned a significant portion of its east side to allow for higher density and mixed-use development, North Miami Beach has been experiencing an increase in commercial and residential developments.

BH Group has been purchasing sites all over South Florida. The business frequently collaborates with Miami-based Related Group including District 225 condo in downtown Miami, a condo on Fisher Island, a waterfront condo in North Miami, the Transit Village mixed-use project in West Palm Beach, and condos on Bay Harbor Islands.

Proposed Rendering of the Urban22 Tower

Seven months after breaking ground, the Edgewater twin-tower apartment building known as URBAN 22 has officially topped off on construction. The developer for the project, the Melo Group is a well-known development group in the Miami area. After completing 6,000+ residential units in Miami over the years, they currently have 2,000 units under construction. 

Multiple parcels making up the 1.94 acre site stretch’s from Second Avenue, 22nd Street, to 23rd street. The Melo Group started purchasing these sites in 2011 that is now making up the site for URBAN 22.

The project call for twin 15-story towers that will total 708,119 square feet with an 8-story podium connecting between the two. The towers will feature 441 residential units, 7,168 sq. ft. of retail, 5,692 sq. ft. of office space, and 529 parking spaces.

The units will range from 725 to 1,200 square feet of living space with each unit featuring a private balcony with glass surround railings. There are 4 studios, 243 one bedroom, 152 two bedroom, and 42 three bedroom units available.

The garage will feature a pool deck on the roof, indoor/outdoor spa, garden terraces, and a fitness center with a social room for gatherings.

Developers File Coastline Review for a 30 Story Mixed Use Tower

1755 Kennedy Causeway Waterfront Tower
1755 Kennedy Causeway Waterfront Tower

In North Bay Village at 1755 Kennedy Causeway, B Developments under the LGE NBV, LLC submitted a request to Miami-Dade County for a coastline review. Arquitectonica was hired by the developer to create a mixed-use structure that would be 345 feet tall, 30 floors tall, and directly face Biscayne Bay.

Due to the property’s frontage on Biscayne Bay and its compliance with Article III, Section 33D of the Miami-Dade County Code of Ordinances, the application is necessary. The coastline setback and side setback are subject to variance requests from the developer. A structure with 30 floors must be 75 feet away from the main shoreline and 25 feet away from the side shorelines, according to the County Code’s setback requirements.

The property can’t be developed strictly in accordance with the criteria due to the tower’s height, the property’s size, and the lot’s proportions. To build in compliance with the site plans, the setback from the beach would have to be decreased to 25 feet, resulting in a 50-foot variance.

The developer is offering to construct a public bay walk behind the property along Biscayne Bay as leverage to get the variances allowed for the project because the County standards cannot be met. On the plus side, the proposal complies with the 2020 Island Walk Design Criteria as well as the North Bay Village Unified Land Development Code.

According to floor designs submitted in February 2022 to the North Bay Village Planning & Zoning Board, the distinctive two-story waterfront restaurant would occupy 19,455 square feet of area between the ground floor and mezzanine level. From the mezzanine level to floors 2 through 5, 8 and 9, the majority of the west podium would be occupied by offices. There are five storeys of parking on the podium’s remaining surface.

On the 6th and 7th floors are the residential amenity levels, which have a landscape deck with three pools, barbecue spaces, fire pits, kids’ splash pads, party lounges, residential lounges, game rooms, sky lobbys, and fitness centers. On the south and west sides of the sixth level, there will be a separate amenity deck that the office tenants can use.

Building Plans Description

  • 473,252 square feet project
  • 201 residential units
  • 32,654 square feet of amenities
  • 19,455 square feet for a 2-story restaurant with a waterfront terrace
  • 1,860 square feet of office space
  • 408 parking space in a parking structure podium

The landscape architect is listed as Arquitectonica and the civil engineer as Kimbley-Horn.

Residential units would start on the 10th level and range in size from 670 to 2255 square feet, including 104 one-bedroom, 83 two-bedroom, 8 three-bedroom, and 6 four-bedroom units.
