Aston Martin Residences Presents the Penthouse Collection

Leave a reply
Aston Martin Residences 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.

Regency Residences in Coral Gables

New 18-Story Residential Tower Proposed in Coral Gables

Regency Residences in Coral Gables

The brains behind the development, Armando Codina, said the concept behind this newly proposed tower came to him because he has been wanting to downsize while continuing to live in a high-end luxury apartment without a homeowner’s association.

Codina, Chairman for Codina Partners states that this new development will provide all of the comforts and high-end amenities as the big house he grew up in with his family.

He now seeks approval for this new development concept for the tower Regency Residences. Once complete, he plans on living in the penthouse.

The proposed site for Regency Residences is a 1.75-acre site located at 2601 Salzedo Street in Coral Gables. The property was involved in a land swap with an automotive dealership in April. According to the records, the property was acquired by an affiliate of Codina Partners in Coral Gables, C/LeJeune LLC.

The proposed tower is projected to rise 18 stories tall with 329,197 interior square feet. Included in the square feet is a 4,050 square foot restaurant, 389 parking spaces, and `176 residential units. According to Codina, the residential units may be more or less, depending on demand and floor plans. These units will be referred to as “sky homes.”

Codina originally planned for three condos on the four floors under his penthouse. His most recent statement included Codina possibly leasing each of the floors separately, which equates to 10,000 to 12,000 square feet.

Smaller units will feature 1,500 to 3,000 square feet with 2 to 4 bedroom options. Smaller apartments will be available for building staff.

According to Condina, there will be no short-term leases. Larger apartments will be leased annually or on a multi-annual basis. Long-term tenants who secure a unit early will have input in the design of the units.

Echad Holdings LLC. has officially proposed a three-tower development in North Miami Beach. Managed by Aviva and Chaim Druin, Echad Holdings LLC’s website states that they are a real estate investment and property management company.

The proposed site is located at 851 N.E. 167th Street intersecting with Gloden Glades Drive. On the current 2.1 acre lot sits a 45,728 square foot office building that will be demolished in the initial phases of construction, once approved. The office building was constructed in 1973.

Two of the towers are planned to be 15 stories and the 3rd story is planned for 10 stories. It will be a combined 464,807 square feet with 77,856 square feet allocated to office space and 12,258 square feet for retail. The plan includes 223 condo and hotels rooms, 3,866 square feet of restaurants, and 526 parking spaces.

The pool would be located at the 10-story tower on the 10th floor of the amenity deck. The plans refer to the condo units as ‘extended-stay’ rooms but will be sold as condos. These units will include 143 one-bedroom and 80 two-bedroom units, all with full kitchens.

Echad Holdings LLC acquired the property in 2015 for $5.6 million. More recently, the city rezoned the area for a mixed-use development. The Miami-based designer for this project is well-known Kobi Karp Architects who have designed Arte, Legacy Hotel & Residences, and 1300 Ponce.

North Miami Beach’s Planning and Zoning Board are scheduled to meet on September 20th to discuss the plans. If approved, the construction is scheduled to begin in 2022.

The Next Steps: After the Champlain South Tower Collapse

Leave a reply
Champlain Tower South

In the wake of the condo collapse at Champlain Towers South, we are starting to see a shift in homeowner association infrastructure reporting as well as maintenance. Towns and local governments ordered immediate inspections and updated reports on older towers.

Miami/Dade County ordered inspections on towers older than 40 years of age. Miami Beach ordered an additional and immediate building inspection on all of their towers since the collapse.

Aventura, Florida is one of the only cities in Florida to pass an ordinance requiring condo associations to provide the officials with engineering and architectural reports within 24 hours, when requested. These reports will include concerns electrical, structural, or life safety concerns and on an annual basis.

According to the city press release, associations that do not comply with the new guidelines will be fined up to $500 a day and up to 60 days in prison.

This new ordinance was passed on Thursday and was sponsored by the Mayor of Aventura, Enid Weisman. The ordinance will become law once it receives a second approval.

Mayor Weisman stated, “There is nothing more important than ensuring the safety of the residents of Aventura. Requiring that reports indicating potential dangers to our residents are provided to the city will create transparency and help us to ensure the structural and electrical integrity of our residents’ homes.”

A second meeting is scheduled on August 10, 2021, to officially vote on the new ordinance.

We are encouraged by the actions of Aventura Florida and we hope to see the same ordinances and guidelines for all of Florida.
