Miami’s first ever supertall office tower just broke ground in Brickell.

The groundbreaking includes the demolition of a parking structure that is currently on the site. Major Suarez, representatives from Swire and Related were in attendance.

Project approval came in September 2022 after city commissioners voted unanimously on the 1,049 foot One Brickell City Centre. The 80 story tower will be crowned the largest building ever building in the city of Miami

The skyscraper will be connected to Brickell City Centre, which was built by Swire Properties and has over 500,000 SF of retail, eating, and entertainment space, and will be situated at 700 Brickell Avenue and 799 Brickell Plaza. The project will feature 1.6 million square feet of office space.

The news represents strength and expansion for the Miami office market, which continues to draw major financial and technological firms from high-tax areas like New York and California.

Swire Properties and Related are listed as the developers for this project.

Introducing Perigon’s Two Story Luxury Penthouse

The Perigon Miami Beach Elevation from the Beach
The Perigon Miami Beach

New developments are popping up everywhere throughout Miami but one of the most opulent new construction towers in Miami Beach stands out from the crowd with the unveiling of its new penthouse at The Perigon.

Penthouse West is a $37 million residence situated over two levels and is the first penthouse to be unveiled at the new condominium project. Four bedrooms, five bathrooms, and expansive living areas are housed in 5,685 square feet of inside space, while an outside sanctuary is made up of an additional 6,487 square feet. The residence, positioned atop the contemporary 17-story tower, also offers magnificent views of the beach, the Atlantic Ocean, and the developing Miami cityscape.

Designer Tara Bernerd, renowned for her ultra-luxury work on single-family houses, yachts, and condo buildings, created the interiors of the building, including the penthouse. She used organic fabrics that go well with the stone, wood, and glass components as well as high-end finishes throughout the entire building.

The 22-foot ceilings in the double-height great room, one of the home’s many remarkable design features and amenities, steal the show. This space, which leads to a wraparound terrace, serves as the residence’s focal point. Here, Bernerd employed materials including Italian walnut, European white oak, and honed white marble with a subdued color scheme. With its high-end highlights and designer touches for occupants who are decor-conscious, the light-filled penthouse has the air of a five-star resort. Additionally, each room has a private terrace area and an en suite bathroom with a luxurious soaking tub.

Penthouse West is known for its indoor-outdoor lifestyle, and in addition to the various outside terraces, there is also a private, manicured rooftop. The landscapes featured in the facilities of the property and the garden in the penthouse were both designed by Gustafson Porter + Bowman, the same company in charge of the landscaping around the Eiffel Tower. The house also boasts a sundeck, a sunken 30-foot infinity pool, a full outdoor summer kitchen, and outdoor dining.

More than 20,000 square feet of amenity space are available to residents of The Perigon, including a breakfast and sunset lounge, a residents-only private restaurant, and a speakeasy run by chef Shaun Hergatt, a veteran of Michelin-starred establishments. Additionally, there is a cabana-equipped oceanfront pool, a terraced fitness center, a private salon, a screening room, a kids’ play area, and a pool room.

La Mare New Construction
La Mare New Construction

La Maré, an elite collection of two light-filled modern contemporary boutique condo towers, have launched in Bay Harbor Islands by Chicago-based Regency Development Group.

Thirty-three units can be found in the eight-story Regency Collection glass-clad contemporary boutique building. Nine to ten foot floor-to-ceiling windows open out to large wraparound outdoor living spaces. The homes units will feature direct private elevator access with 1,600 to 4,000 square feet of living space, two to four bedrooms, and two to four and a half bathrooms.

The north and south corners of the second floor are adorned by two opulent 4,200 square foot Bay Villas, each with a spiral staircase leading to a ground deck with a private pool and a summer kitchen. Two of the building’s four penthouses, which have access to their own private rooftop pools and summer kitchens, are flow-through corner residences.

Nine units in an eight-story structure from the Signature Collection will be meticulously created for families with seclusion at the forefront and will range in size from 2,100 to more than 4,200 square feet.

The Signature and Regency Collections will feature bayfront verandas and outdoor spaces with landscaping, boat slips, lounge areas, and a resort-style rooftop pool deck with a pool, jacuzzi, and lounge chairs.

Low impact, all-glass buildings that are LEED certified and blend in with Bay Harbor’s community will be built on elevated piles to allow them to be independent of high and low tides and adapt to South Florida’s constantly changing weather.

A modern fitness center, a wine cellar, and an outdoor kitchen and bar lounge are just a few of the exclusive Signature Collection building features. The price range for these villas will start at $2.875 million to $6.3 million. Later this year, construction is slated to begin, and it will likely be finished by the end of 2024.
