Residential tower of luxury mixed-use project receives a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy with closings to begin this month
Giralda Place – Downtown Coral Gables’ newest, mixed-use project – received a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy (TCO) from Miami-Dade County for its residential tower, which includes 33 luxury condominiums and ground-floor retail. This marks the completion of the development, which previously delivered 57,000 square feet of new ‘Class A’ office space in its initial phase.
After only 26 months of construction, Giralda Place will begin closings this month, with its first residents scheduled to occupy the building shortly thereafter. Set in the heart of Downtown Coral Gables at 255 – 275 Giralda Avenue, the development is the first of its scale to be delivered in the area in the last decade. It is currently 45 percent sold, with 19 units remaining, including an exclusive, full-floor penthouse.
Adjacent to Giralda Plaza and steps from Miracle Mile, the area’s two most popular thoroughfares, Giralda Place residents enjoy a true live-work-play paradise that affords effortless access to coveted dining, retail, cultural and entertainment offerings. In October 2017, the City of Coral Gables completed a multi-million-dollar renaissance of both streetscapes, boosting walkability, and community programming.
“It is with great pleasure that we unveil the completed Giralda Place to our buyers and the community,” said co-developer Cristo Brown. “We believe each component of this development will positively contribute to the newfound energy flowing through “The City Beautiful,” bringing new residents and businesses to an area we have grown to admire and appreciate.”
In addition to Coral Gables’ plethora of everyday conveniences, Giralda Place boasts an expansive, full-floor, pool and leisure deck dubbed “Giralda 7.” Equipped with day beds, a summer kitchen, 48-foot pool, and Hamptons-style lounge seating, the space provides an outlet to enjoy South Florida’s enviable year-round weather day or night. An expansive fitness center, 24-hour concierge, and electric vehicle charging stations add to the amenities.
Offering a variety of large, flow-through floor plans, Giralda Place features one-, two-, and three-bedroom residences. Each of the beautifully-appointed homes presents 11-foot ceilings in the living rooms and bedrooms, spacious private balconies, high-end kitchen appliances, premium finishes, and custom Italian cabinetry by Snaidero.
As an ode to Coral Gables’ history, Giralda Place’s Mediterranean façade is designed by John Fullerton of Fullerton Group Architects,while interiors of the project’s residential and commercial common areas are expertly crafted by award-winningB+G Design Inc. The overall ambiance exudes freshness and sophistication, with walls treated in custom mill-work, harmonizing with lacquered elements and marble flooring, and hints of Spanish flair throughout. The interior design team is also to credit for the development’s townhome model residence. Showcasing the unique collection of just 10, two-level condominiums, the chic retreat was unveiled in February, with the announcement of Giralda Place’s exclusive partnership with nationally-acclaimed home organization service,NEAT Method.
Prices for remaining residences start from the $900,000s, with exclusive sales and marketing by EWM Realty International. For more information, visitwww.giraldaplace.com or call 786.409.6500. For retail inquiries, contact John Ellis with RKF at Jellis@rkf.com.
