With its base now in place, construction will begin on the above-ground structure of the highly-anticipated luxury residential tower
The signature, curvilinear silhouette of Sunny Isles Beach’s newest luxury condominium tower is now poised to rise and take shape on the Atlantic coastline.
On the night of Friday, April 28, general contractor Suffolk Construction completed a nearly 19-hour continuous concrete “mat pour,” laying the foundation for The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Sunny Isles Beach. Vertical construction will now begin on the 52-story, oceanfront tower, which is slated for completion in 2019.
A construction crew of more than 100 worked in tandem through the weekend to pour 5,500 cubic yards of concrete (a total of 600 truckloads via 80 trucks) at the project site, which is located at 15701 Collins Avenue, Sunny Isles Beach, Fla. The pour began at 10 p.m. and ended at 4:30 p.m. Saturday, April 29, resulting in the completion of the tower’s concrete pad. The mat is approximately 22,000 square feet in size, seven and one-half feet thick, and has more than 1,110 tons of reinforcing steel below the surface.
Jointly developed by Fortune International Group and Château Group, The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Sunny Isles Beach property is being touted as one of the most lucrative on Sunny Isles Beach. As the first building north of Bal Harbour, it features nearly two miles beachfront –- in addition to being a completely private residential building with no hotel on the premises or transient use. Designed by Arquitectonica with interiors by acclaimed Florentine architect Michele Bönan, The Residences, will feature a private club level on the 33rd floor, beach restaurant, pool deck, kids club, spa, fitness center and wellness center, among other top-line amenities. One of the tower’s hallmarks will be its seamless connection from the Grand Porte-cochère to the lobby, pool and beach.
“We are delighted to be celebrating this key milestone in the construction of our project,” said Edgardo Defortuna, CEO, Fortune International Group. “This moment has been highly anticipated by our team, and most especially our buyers, and we now look forward to our next big feat…the project’s topping-off.”
