The joint developers of The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Sunny Isles Beach, Fortune International Group and Château Group, chose December 9th for an intimate holiday showcase, unveiling the new flagship property of The Ritz-Carlton-branded residences, while also giving their distinguished guests an opportunity to experience the new Rolls-Royce Ghost and learn about Bal Harbour Shops’ elite new members club, ACCESS.
Residents, family and guests of The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Sunny Isles Beach enjoyed a festive, socially distanced holiday open house, which began at 1p.m. in the valet area, where a receiving line of The Ritz-Carlton butlers welcomed them to the property. The soiree continued with test drives of the new Rolls-Royce Ghost by Braman Miami, deemed the Purest Expression of Rolls-Royce, and personally guided tours that showcased the lifestyle and one-of-a-kind moments and memories that are exemplary of what daily life at the luxury high-rise entails, such as a private chef’s dinner and wine pairing, spa treatments, a beachside picnic, or drinks and hors d'oeuvres on the terrace of a potential future home.
At 5 p.m. all were summoned to the private Club Level on the 33rd floor,where they gathered for champagne (six feet apart) for the time honored ringing of the bell, signaling the time to unwind and pause to take in the splendidunobstructed sunset views from the terrace overlooking the majesty of the Miami skyline and seemingly endless views of the Atlantic shoreline.
Stephanie Sayfie Aagaard,Collaborative Innovator of BalHarbour Shops and “Steph Sez” columnist, surprised guests with a special gift from Bal Harbour Shops courtesy of the exclusive new ACCESS program, a members’ only benefit program that has become the talk of Miami insiders.
“We are delighted to partner with Rolls-Royce and Bal Harbour Shops for an exclusive “first look” of our newly opened property,” said Manuel Grosskopf, CEO of Château Group. “Every day at this propertyis like living in an oceanfront five-star resort and this showcase offers a glimpse into this rarefied world.”
With all this splendor it’s no wonder that even before the tower officially opened in March, all four penthouses were snatched up by well-heeled buyers from the U.S. and around the world. Now, the building (15701 Collins Ave.), which is managed by The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Co., is more than 85% sold and continues to set a gold standard for luxury high-rise living on the water, thanks to its legendary hotel-level butler services, tranquil beach setting, and large, airy offerings.
“Now more so than ever before, features and amenities such as direct ocean views, butler services and curated one-of-a-kind moments, are increasingly in demand among HNWI’s,” said Edgardo Defortuna, President and CEO of Fortune International Group. “Those now living at The Residences have emphasized that our services go far beyond anything they could have imagined.”
Designed by award-winning architect Bernardo Fort-Brescia of Arquitectonica with interiors by acclaimed Florentine architect Michele Bönan, The Residences have cemented their reputation for providing the utmost attentiveness to the comforts and conveniences of residents.
As a whole, The Residences, which have no hotel on the premises, boast a prime coastal location with 250 feet of beachfront. Comprising 209 residences and eight Guest Suites -- reserved exclusively for residents -- the high-rise has a private club level on the 33rd floor, beach restaurant, pool deck, kids club, full-service spa, fitness center and wellness center, among other top-line amenities. Further highlights in each of the homes, which start at $2.25 million, include private entrances, living and master bedrooms with direct oceanfront views, walk-in closets, and pre-wiring for high-speed internet access and Wi-Fi. Adding to the building’s unmistakable draw, a collection of move-in ready designer residences are currently available for prospective buyers.
