Bravo! More than 200 elegant guests enjoyed a private concert by the New World Symphony under a moonlit Miami Beach sky to trumpet the unveiling of 57 Ocean, the most anticipated new luxury residential project on Miami Beach’s Millionaire’s Row.
The tempo was set and the champagne flowed on Thursday, Jan. 24, while a brilliant display of fireworks illuminated the night to celebrate the debut of the lavish, two-story $3 million sales gallery for 57 Ocean -- an 18-story, 81-unit boutique residential tower located at 5775 Collins Ave.
The event marked an “encore” of visionary Brazilian developer José Isaac Peres of Miami-based Multiplan Real Estate Asset Management, who orchestrated the success and transformation of the South of Fifth neighborhood in 1994 when he built Il Villaggio. Likewise, christened with a beachside concert at that time and sparking a sensation with legendary tenor Luciano Pavarotti.
Guests of the glamorous evening for 57 Ocean were treated to an up-close look at the sleek finishes, innovative features, and Atlantic Ocean panoramas that will define daily living in the boutique oceanfront building.
Designed by Arquitectonica, with interiors by Anastassiadis Arquitetos, led by Brazilian architect Patricia Anastassiadis, 57 Ocean will comprise a seaside wellness garden, outdoor massage and meditation rooms, an outdoor yoga deck, and a beautifully appointed spa, among other top-of-the-line amenities. Fortune Development Sales is 57 Ocean’s exclusive residential brokerage.
“57 Ocean is a reflection of my passion for always giving buyers more than they expect. The world remains enamored with Miami, and as I saw first-hand when we built Il Villaggio -- amidst a challenging business landscape -- supply never dictates the market…product does,” said Peres, who is one of the largest developers in Brazil and a longtime Miami homeowner. “I’m very proud to say that this product is unmatched in its location, quality and unique lifestyle.”
“Since launching pre-sales in October 2018, the excitement surrounding this project has been palpable,” said Marcelo Kingston, Managing Partner of Multiplan Real Estate Asset Management. “In this day and age, we fully recognize that one of the greatest luxuries for the most time starved and discerning homebuyers is wellness, and 57 Ocean’s inspiration is not only centered on that mindset, but designed to bring every imaginable comfort and convenience to the fingertips of residents.”
Rooms in the sprawling, 5,000-square-foot sales gallery are full-scale replicas of living areas in the residences themselves, including a 12-foot-deep, second-floor terrace overlooking the ocean, a model kitchen, living area, and a master suite with a walk-in closet and bath. In addition to a scale model on the first floor of the venue, VR headsets are readily accessible for virtual walkthroughs, furthering the ability for well-heeled buyers to grasp the uniqueness of the project and its views of the coastline. Adding to its distinction, the sales gallery, which has a mural on its ocean-facing exterior wall by Miami-based artist HOXXOH -- has branded beach cruiser bicycles for visitors’ complimentary use. Because the building is directly bordered by the brand-new Miami Beach Walk -- a public hot spot for daily Oceanside recreation -- prospective buyers can exit the sales gallery, ride the 57 Ocean beach cruisers down the paved path, and get a first-hand feel for the neighborhood in one of the most unique ways possible.
Prices for two, three and four-bedroom residences in 57 Ocean, including two penthouses and two beach houses, will range from $1.5 million to $31 million. The exquisitely designed homes will feature expansive terraces -- each stretching 12 feet deep with panoramic views, glass balustrades, and one-of-a-kind ceilings with wood-like accents -- as well as contemporary Italian kitchens and baths by Poliform. Additional highlights within the residences will include marble countertops and backsplashes, 10-foot ceilings, Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, Italian fixtures, natural stone floors and wall tiles in master baths, and private elevator entrances.
57 Ocean will feature an array of special amenities and services, such as a holistic wellness spa and pavilion, complete with a thermal suite (inclusive of a steam room, aromatherapy saunas, and an ice fountain), relaxation and meditation area, and a private spa suite; two expansive infinity pools; third-floor sundeck; poolside treatment cabanas; a pool bar and social terrace lounge; summer kitchen pavilion with a grill area; a multi-purpose club room with chef’s kitchen for full gastronomic experiences; innovative outdoor training equipment by MyEquilibria and a state-of-the-art indoor fitness center by Technogym. There will also be a library, children’s activity room, 24-hour concierge, valet and security services, and pool and beachfront concessions and attendants.

About Multiplan Real Estate Investment
Florida-based Multiplan Real Estate Asset Management was established by José Isaac Peres to pursue real estate development opportunities in the South Florida real estate market. The natural connections between South Florida and Latin America — from business to personal ties — have continuously re-shaped Miami-Dade County, affording unique opportunities within the development arena. Appreciating that unique synergy, Peres has long maintained a deep admiration for the region, having lived part-time in Miami-Dade since 1998. He furthermore developed the highly-acclaimed Il Villaggio residential and retail community, which is located on Miami Beach’s Ocean Drive and faces both Lummus Park and the beach. From its onset, Il Villaggio enhanced the value of the surrounding neighborhood with its record-setting unit values. In the late 1990’s, he acquired a bayfront parcel off Brickell Avenue, known today as Jade Brickell — a luxury residential condominium which Peres conceptualized and designed. Financially secure and stable, Multiplan Real Estate Asset Management has structured a dedicated domestic development team, partnered with distinguished local partners and now looks to further its opportunities in South Florida.
