The Astor Companies starts vertical construction at luxury residential project in heart of city
Pioneering Miami developer The Astor Companies has started vertical construction at Merrick Manor, a luxury residential project rising in the heart of Coral Gables. Work is well underway at the 301 Altara Avenue site of the 10-story, 227-residence project.
The Mediterranean villa-style building is on track for a scheduled completion during the first quarter of 2019. Prominent architecture firm Behar Font & Partners, P.A. designed the building, with Witkin Hults Design Group providing landscape design. Renowned South Florida-based interior design firm Interiors by Steven G. has continued a longstanding relationship with Astor by designing unit interiors at Merrick Manor. Jaxi Builders of Doral is the project’s general contractor.
“We are incredibly excited to move forward with the construction of Merrick Manor,” said Henry Torres, President, CEO and Founder of The Astor Companies. “This project is bringing a convergence of location, elegance, comfort and luxury to Coral Gables. That formula has resulted in widespread interest from local, domestic and international buyers.”
More than 50 percent of the project is under contract, with prices for remaining units starting in the $500,000s and ranging up to $3 million. Units range from 574 square feet to more than 3,400 square feet and are equipped with impact-resistant windows and doors. The project also includes 19,000 square feet of prime ground-floor retail space.
Merrick Manor is located just steps away from the luxurious retail destination Shops at Merrick Park. Project amenities include 24-hour valet parking, 24-hour front desk concierge service, a business center with computer-ready desks and multimedia screens for presentations and conference calls, a club lounge on the fourth floor, state-of-the-art fitness center and resort-style pool with barbecue areas, a bar and bistro and lounge seating.
