The luxury boutique building features 81 residences priced from $1.5 million to $31 million
Developer Multiplan Real Estate Asset Management has broken ground on 57 Ocean, an ultra-high-end, 18-story boutique condominium on Millionaire’s Row in Miami Beach. Designed by Bernardo Fort-Brescia of Arquitectonica with interiors by Brazilian designer Patricia Anastassiadis of Anastassiadis Arquitetos, 57 Ocean is already being singled-out by high-end buyers worldwide for its myriad of holistic wellness amenities and services.
Dozens of industry leaders and top-producing broker-associates were in attendance for the April 4 groundbreaking ceremony, which included a champagne toast and an elegant brunch in the project’s $3 million, on-site sales gallery. Well-sited along the Atlantic Ocean at 5775 Collins Avenue, the 81-unit building -- which is slated for completion in September 2021 -- has been likened to a coastal retreat, blending extravagant design with an emphasis on healthy living.
“This is a proud moment,” said Marcelo Kingston, Managing Partner, Multiplan Real Estate Asset Management. “Even before putting shovels in the ground, the response from the market has been tremendous. We see the global interest in our project as being indicative of the demand buyers have…not only for sophisticated oceanfront living, but access to state-of-the-art features that are designed to bolster health and wellbeing. 57 Ocean is a rarity in the marketplace, and savvy, well-heeled consumers recognize that.”
The condominium is the brainchild of Multiplan Real Estate Asset Management’s leader, José Isaac Peres -- internationally recognized Brazilian developer and owner of major residential and commercial real estate holdings. Peres, who was in attendance for the commemoration, has longstanding ties to Miami, being the visionary behind a pair of landmark South Florida projects – the concept of Jade on Brickell Bay and the development of Il Villaggio on Ocean Drive. During the ceremony, which was temporarily moved inside on account of rain, Peres spoke passionately about his company and its longstanding mantra.
“Multiplan is known for going well beyond expectation,” said Peres. “We believe in giving people more than what they ask for…and when we say we are going to do something, we do it. Those are two of our pillars. Even for today’s groundbreaking event, people wanted to know if we were going to postpone the celebration because of the weather…but despite the clouds, we moved forward. Again, if we say we are going to do something, we make it happen…and our beautiful ceremony took place as planned.”
“I’m very proud to be involved with Multiplan’s latest project,” said Edgardo Defortuna, CEO of Fortune International Group, parent company of Fortune Development Sales, the project’s exclusive broker. “They always deliver on what they promise -- and even more. During the opening party, Dr. Peres indicated he was going to start construction in April, and that’s exactly what he’s done. As shown by early sales, the market has really embraced 57 Ocean. It’s a testament to the notion that when you have a quality developer producing a great product, the result will be a huge success.”
57 Ocean will include two, three and four-bedroom residences, ranging from 1,200 to 3,600+ square feet. There are also two penthouses and two beach houses. The uniquely designed homes will feature expansive terraces -- each stretching 12 feet deep with panoramic ocean and city 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, stone wall tiles in master baths, and private elevator entrances.
Amenities are comprised of 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 sunset deck; 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; and a state-of-the-art fitness center with innovative MyIsle training equipment by MyEquilibria and an indoor Technogym fitness center. There will also be a library, children’s activity room, 24-hour concierge, valet and security services, and pool and beachfront concessions and attendants. Residents will additionally have direct access to 220 linear feet of beach and the adjacent, Miami Beach Walk. The new path will be an ideal option for daily strolls or exercise, with views of the beach serving as the backdrop.
Prices at 57 Ocean range from $1.5 million to $31 million. Fortune Development Sales is the exclusive residential brokerage. For additional information, call 305.800.5775 or visit www.57ocean.com.
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.
