We recommend arriving early to catch the pre-show discussion, scheduled an hour before the show. #### Itzhak Perlman’s Cinema Serenade, Jan. 28th Legendary violinist Itzhak Perlman partners with The Cleveland Orchestra to serenade you with the silver screen’s most stirring melodies. Gear up for an intense evening as the lineup includes “Schindler's List’s” hauntingly beautiful score and the evocative love theme from “Cinema Paradiso.” #### Mikailo Kasha, Jan. 30th Ranked among the top 1% of bassists worldwide, Miami’s own Mikailo Kasha will be taking center stage at the Arsht Center’s outdoor plaza. Expect to tune into the award-winning composer’s original works, as he leads his modern jazz quartet for an unforgettable concert experience under the stars. #### Bronfman Plays Beethoven, Jan. 30th-31st Another can’t-miss concert for classical music fans, this program pairs Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 5 with Mozart's Symphony No. 41 to deliver a rare masterpiece.

The Best Miami Neighborhoods: South of Fifth vs Fisher Island

If you’re considering moving to Miami, and you’re looking for an exclusive, beachfront, luxury neighborhood, two options you’ll likely hear suggested are South of Fifth (SoFi) in South Beach, or the ultra-exclusive Fisher Island. These two areas share some geographic and lifestyle similarities—both are incredibly beautiful neighborhoods that are home to affluent and high net worth (HNW) residents seeking a relaxed but sophisticated waterfront lifestyle with large condo home options—but they also have essential differences that make for very different living experiences. In this blog, we’ll dive deeper into both neighborhoods and their buildings, comparing what makes them stand out in several categories, and why residents choose them. This way, you’ll be well-informed to make a confident decision as to where to start your property search or tell your luxury agent when choosing between South of Fifth vs Fisher Island. ## The Lifestyle South of Fifth or “SoFi,” as it is known locally, is the area of South Beach located south of Fifth Street. It’s the southernmost tip of the island of Miami Beach and offers a lovely, upscale lifestyle and more luxurious properties than the rest of South Beach or Miami Beach for that matter. Most of its desirability comes from being a highly walkable neighborhood surrounded by water while keeping a more serene vibe than the more tourist-friendly lifestyle that the rest of South Beach is known for. ###### SoFi or South of Fifth - Miami Beach, FL Now, although SoFi is an exclusive area by virtue of home prices, Fisher Island is far more exclusive than SoFi because it is its own island accessible only by boat, helicopter, or ferry. In fact, Fisher Island is the most affluent zip code in the entire United States, with median household incomes in the millions. It is also characterized by being a small community. The island is under one square mile in size, and has a population of about 600 people, many of whom use their homes only part of the year as vacation or second homes—a key differentiator when comparing South of Fifth vs Fisher Island lifestyles. ###### Fisher Island. This dynamic results in great privacy for its residents, making Fisher Island a popular choice among VIPs, with celebrities like Oprah, Julia Roberts, Karolina Kurkova, Boris Becker and Caroline Wozniacki having called it home at some point. ## Getting Around SoFi is a highly walkable neighborhood, with everything you need within a short distance from every residence, making car-free living a reality. Also, since it’s part of South Beach, it benefits from having multiple transportation options available, including Miami Beach’s free trolley service, Miami Dade buses—including the Miami Beach Airport Express—, and Citi Bike. If you’re a car owner, moving around is also a breeze, with the MacArthur Causeway being your main way in and out of Miami Beach. To move around the neighborhood, you might take Alton Road on the west side, or the iconic Collins Ave, which runs northbound all the way up through the island. ###### Fisher Island Ferry. Photo courtesy of Fisher Island Club. Fisher Island, on the other hand, is so small that the most popular methods of transportation within the island are golf carts, bicycles, or your plain old feet. The island is completely private—only residents and their guests are allowed in—and accessible only by ferry, helicopter, or boat. To get to and from Fisher Island, most residents drive their cars to Terminal Island and board the ferry, which departs every 10 minutes on weekdays during morning rush hour and every 15 minutes all other times, 24 hours a day. Others access the island via private yachts. ## The Work-Life Flow Because they are primarily residential neighborhoods, neither SoFi nor Fisher Island is an area where you’ll find a lot of commercial business activity, making each retain a distinctly residential feel. However, SoFi has some boutique hotels, a few small private offices, fitness centers and spas, and exclusive establishments, including some of the finest restaurants in Miami and Miami Beach—a perk that often comes up when people consider living in South of Fifth vs living on Fisher Island. Fisher Island has a far less commercial life with only a small bank, post office, and grocery store on the island. The Fisher Island Club and Resort is the only real business in the area, with its small golf course, several restaurants, a market, a marina, a tennis club, and a spa. There is also a fire rescue station and a medical center on the island. ## Outdoor Living & Waterfronts Both have incredible park areas, open access to the water, a marina and beaches. They are truly exceptional neighborhoods to enjoy the unbeatable outdoor lifestyle and weather that South Florida has to offer. The heart of the SoFi community is the beautiful South Pointe Park, where the Atlantic Ocean meets the waters of Biscayne Bay and Government Cut, where the cruise ships head out to port. The park offers direct beach access for swimming and snorkeling, as well as fishing from the South Pointe Pier, and you can kayak, paddle board, and jet ski from the marina on the west side of the neighborhood. It also features beautifully landscaped paths, a large children’s playground with water features, a cafe and juice bars, and a Smith & Wollensky restaurant, where you can sit outside and watch the boats come in and out. The park is also a favorite of dog lovers, yoga practitioners, and those just seeking to spend some time outdoors. On Fisher Island, waterfront residences surround a small, but competitive 9-hole golf course designed by P.B. Dye, and the Fisher Island Spa Club and Resort provides 17 tennis courts featuring all four Grand Slam surfaces, plus 4 pickleball courts. There is a small natural area for bird-watching and one mile of private beach graced with imported, powdery white sand. There are also two deep-water marinas. ## Arts & Culture If you live in SoFi, you’ll have easy access to all of the cultural offerings in South Beach (and Downtown Miami for that matter), including: * The yearly Art Basel fair at the Miami Beach Convention Center in South Beach and all of Art Week Miami * The South Beach Wine and Food Festival * Fashion Week Miami * Several other music, art, and street festivals Beyond the events, South Beach is also home to iconic venues like the Fillmore Miami Beach at the Jackie Gleason Theater, which hosts a diverse lineup of concerts, comedy shows, and live performances, as well as other entertainment places of smaller scale and art galleries. And the Frank Gehry-designed New World Center, home to the New World Symphony. All of Downtown Miami’s cultural and sporting venues, like the Perez Art Museum Miami, the Arsht Center for the Performing Arts, the Frost Science Museum and the Kaseya Center are all a 10-minute drive over the causeway from SoFi. Fisher Island on its own has no public festivals or venues because it is so private and its residents prefer it this way. It has the Vanderbilt Theater at the Fisher Island Club, and its residents may occasionally hold private parties that include live entertainment by well-known celebrities. If you want to venture out to mainland events, you will have to take the ferry to the causeway, or travel by boat or helicopter. For both neighborhoods, cultural life is tied to their proximity to South Beach and Downtown Miami, where residents can enjoy the same festivals and events. The only difference is that SoFi residents can return home more quickly and easily after a night out, while Fisher Island residents have a slightly longer commute, relying on the ferry service or their private yacht as transportation. ## The Shopping Edit Being mostly residential, neither SoFi nor Fisher Island is particularly renowned for its shopping options. However, this doesn’t mean there isn’t any retail offering. South of Fifth provides a charming and curated shopping experience with several boutiques selling unique fashion, artisanal goods, and accessories. For everyday essentials, there’s a Publix a block away from Fifth Street, as well as a Target, a Best Buy, and a Walgreens. Whole Foods is also about 5 blocks away on 10th Street. And then you are only about another mile away to a Trader Joe’s and Fresh Market. The Lincoln Road pedestrian shopping mall will be your closest shopping, whether you are living on Fisher Island or in SoFi. So there is little difference there. On the island, Fisher Island’s shopping is much more exclusive and limited due to its private island status. Retail options here are mainly the boutiques within the Fisher Island Hotel and the island’s private club, selling luxury resort wear, fine jewelry, and exclusive designer items. For everyday items, residents rely on the in-island grocery store or private delivery services. For a wider range of shopping options, residents of both neighborhoods would have to venture out to mainland Miami or into Bal Harbour, which would require a 20-30 minute drive. ## Signature Flavors Although South of Fifth is a low-key neighborhood where you can bypass the hustle and bustle that characterizes South Beach, the area is home to some of the finest restaurants in all of in all of Greater Miami, and in some cases, the world: * The famous Joe's Stone Crab Restaurant has been a Miami Beach icon for decades * The South Pointe Tavern serves up food and drink fit for celebrities * Stubborn Seed, one of Miami’s Michelin-starred restaurants, allows you to taste the creativity of one of Miami’s top chefs * Azabu Miami, located inside the Stanton Hotel, serves exquisite Japanese cuisine * Call Me Gaby is where locals stop by for comforting pizza, pies, and pasta * Nikki Beach is best known for its amazing brunch menu, followed by a haute club scene * Carbone Miami serves Italian fare along with cocktails and wine in an opulent environment Fisher Island, on the other hand, doesn’t have any restaurants open to the general public, but the club’s seven restaurants all have excellent reputations. Among the most popular eateries on the island are: * Fisher Island Beach Club Restaurant * Porto Cervo * Garwood Lounge * Theapolis & Library * Snooker Club * Greenside * La Trattoria ## Top Schools SoFi residents are served by South Pointe Elementary School, Nautilus Middle School, and Miami Beach Sr. High, all of which are highly ranked public schools. Still, many residents may prefer to send their children to local private schools such as St. Patrick’s and the Hebrew Academy, located in Miami Beach, or to private schools located on mainland Miami. ###### Hebrew Academy. Photo courtesy of the Hebrew Academy. Fisher Island is also served by Miami Beach public and private schools, but the Fisher Island Day School is a small private elementary school exclusively for island residents, serving about 150 students in kindergarten through 8th grade (K-8 students). Contact us for specific school recommendations if you are considering either of these neighborhoods. ## Architecture & Design South of Fifth, similarly to the rest of South Beach, is characterized by a blend of beautifully restored Art Deco buildings from the 30s, 40s, and 50s, and a selection of modern luxury condo towers ranging in architectural styles from sleek minimalism to Mediterranean-inspired design. One common thread across all condos is that they feature top-tier amenities such as multiple pools, state-of-the-art fitness centers, concierge services, and on-site spas, with some offering panoramic ocean views with direct beach access. Some of the most luxurious condos on South of Fifth include: * 321 Ocean Drive, a modernist-designed boutique enclave, featuring only 21 exclusive residences. * Apogee South Beach, renowned for its artistic interiors by Yabu Pushelberg and top-of-the-line amenities. * Ocean House, Art Deco restored building with 28 residences and beachfront access. * Continuum South Beach North and South Towers, iconic beachfront towers with expansive units and resort-style amenities. If you’re looking to buy a pre-construction instead, the upcoming Villa Sofia Residences is the only development in the area, offering 27 modern residences, allowing short-term rentals. Fisher Island, on the other hand, is known for its single-family-sized condo residences, almost like condo mansions, private villas, and super-exclusive multi-family condo towers designed for privacy. The residences often feature oversized terraces, multiple balconies, and ample interior spaces. Some of the projects on the island include: * Palazzo del Mare, * Palazzo del Sol, and * Palazzo della Luna, which are the most recent constructions. The island’s only new development is The Residences at Six Fisher Island, an ultra-luxury, 10-story boutique tower offering just 50 units with expansive floor plans and ultra-exclusive amenities. View all currently available properties for South of Fifth to find your perfect condo. ## Prices & Perspective The average listing price for South Beach residences is about $788,389, or $512 per square foot; however, listings in South of Fifth tend to run higher than that, with some of the highest-priced properties reaching around $33,990,000, or $45,320 per square foot. Meanwhile, Fisher Island residences list for an average of about $5,567,078, or $1,489 per square foot, while the most luxurious properties can reach $50,000,000 or about $5,338 per square foot. Another factor to consider when making the South of Fifth vs Fisher Island cost consideration is HOA fees. In Fisher Island, these can go anywhere from $3,500 to $7,000 per month, while South of Fifth’s HOA fees are significantly lower. And you will want to be a member of the Fisher Island Club to enjoy living there, which has membership fees and dues. Additionally, part of your HOA fees living on the island pay for your ferry service. Discover all available Fisher Island properties and find your perfect condo. ## Which is the Better Choice? South of Fifth or Fisher Island? While both SoFi and Fisher Island provide an upscale lifestyle with exclusive privileges and perks, the two neighborhoods attract different residents, mainly based on how much privacy and exclusivity you may desire. If you dream of or need a very private resort living with golf and yachting as the center of your world, you may fall in love with Fisher Island. But if you prefer more accessibility and a laid-back lifestyle with easy access to urban offerings, we definitely recommend South of Fifth.

The parcel sits on the south side of Watson Island. The delay follows mounting concerns that the deal is significantly undervalued, with recent estimates suggesting that the land could well be worth $257 million to $342 million. While the lower valuation reflects mandated hotel and hotel-residence uses, the higher valuation allows the developer to pursue whichever plan maximizes returns. On the other hand, some opine that the $29 million purchase price is fair considering the existing 99-year lease on the site is valued at $28.9 million—meaning the deal effectively buys the city out of the lease rather than the land itself. A second, more decisive, vote is expected to take place in December. BH# and Merrimac’s proposed project for the parcel includes 105 condos, approximately 220,000 square feet of office, retail space, and two hotels. In exchange, the duo agreed to extend the lease on the rest of the site by 24 years, expand the bayfront public promenade to 1,000 feet, and contribute $9 million towards affordable housing and other infrastructural improvements. Meanwhile, voting in favor of the sale of 5.4 acres of city-owned land at 1111 Parrot Jungle Trail in July, the Miami City Commission cleared the way for Ecoresiliency’s revitalization plan. Ecoresiliency Miami LLC—a joint venture between Terra Group and ESJ Capital—is poised to acquire the site for $135M to build two 40-story luxury condo towers, with a total of 600 units, replacing part of the existing eco-adventure theme park. ### Mixed-use by Joint Venture – North Beach A joint venture—including Abraham Bergman, Opal Realty NY, and The Scharf Group—plans to develop a mixed-use project on its recently acquired assemblage in North Beach. The partnership purchased the two development sites at 7410 Collins Avenue and 7400 Harding Avenue for $15.5 million. Approved plans allow for two five-story buildings totaling 90,000 square feet. The project will include 12,000 square feet of ground-floor retail and 40,000 square feet of office space, with groundbreaking expected as early as next year. It’s still undecided whether the residential offering will be condos or rentals. The project also involves restoring the historic retail building at 7410 Collins Avenue, presently leased to CVS. ### Holiday Inn Site Heads to Auction – Downtown Miami The distressed 100-room Holiday Inn Port of Miami-Downtown, located at 340 Biscayne Boulevard, will be up for auction in December. Listed at $175 million, the 0.91-acre parcel is favorably zoned for redevelopment. According to the auction house, the site can accommodate an 82-story tower with 374 condos and 120 hotel rooms, and will be auctioned free and clear of liens. We’ll be tracking the results in January 2026, as the property sits in a prime, walkable area of Downtown Miami near the Kaseya Center, Bayfront Park, Perez Art Museum, and Flagler Street.

Concrete Couture: What do Miami’s Fashion Branded Condos Have to Offer?

The most desirable couture collections in Miami aren’t on the catwalk: they’re rising skyward, stitched into the city’s concrete seams, draped in metal and glass. In a city where personal style is infused in everything from cars to cuisine, it’s only natural that homes too act as a precise expression of taste. And what better way to do so than weaving high fashion into the fabric of luxury condos? Through collaborations with iconic maisons like Armani, Dolce & Gabbana, Fendi and Missoni, developers are crafting residences that carry the same visual codes, precision, and exclusivity once reserved for the runway. From boutique to blueprint, fashion has now become fluent in the language of real estate—and nowhere speaks it better than Miami. Carrying the signature artistry and heritage of iconic design houses, these residences are tailored to reflect each brand’s DNA across architecture, interiors, amenities, and the lifestyle embedded within. Much like in haute couture, the collections are limited, meticulously crafted, and finely attuned to a clientele that values both identity and scarcity. ## When Fashion Meets the Real Estate Market The rise of branded residences reflects a larger shift underway in global luxury real estate. According to Savills' latest Branded Residences Report, the sector has grown by 180% in the last decade, now encompassing approximately 750 completed projects worldwide, a figure projected to double by 2030\. North America is the most active continent for branded residences, with 260 completed projects and 116 under development. While luxury hotel brands like The Ritz-Carlton and The Four Seasons still account for the majority of this inventory, non-hospitality/hotel brands, including fashion labels, have steadily expanded to claim 21% of the global branded residential market. While Dubai leads in sheer volume, with developments such as Karl Lagerfeld Villas, Palazzo Versace Residences, and DAMAC Bay by Cavalli, Miami remains one of the most dynamic laboratories for how fashion and real estate intersect. And some of those same developers are now setting their sights on Miami. This synergy works particularly well in the city thanks to its fertile convergence of global wealth, design culture, and tax advantages. The sun-drenched, sandy beaches don’t hurt, either. It all adds up to a unique profile that appeals to high-net-worth, brand-conscious buyers seeking long-term asset value, short-term investment opportunities, second-home enjoyment—Miami ranked as the world’s No.1 second-home destination in 2025—or all combined. With a 94% increase in its millionaire population over the past ten years, Miami attracts a distinctive mix from inbound U.S. wealth migration, Latin America, Europe, and the Middle East. Already well-versed in the logic of luxury collecting, be it art, automobiles, or fashion, these buyers bring the same discernment to real estate. They understand that fashion-branded luxury condos are more than speculative novelties - they’re blue-chip acquisitions made even more desirable by the credibility of the names behind them. ## Miami's Fashion-Branded Luxury Condos The front row of fashion week has moved several hundred feet upwards and has Venetian glass chandeliers by Dolce & Gabbana, Calacatta marble baths by Fendi, Missoni's signature colorful zigzag furniture, and an in-house art collection hand-picked by Giorgio Armani. What distinguishes these developments is how directly the brand identity drives the architectural and interior decisions and informs the atmosphere of both private and shared spaces. From the selection of materials to the way spaces are programmed, each building becomes a study in how a maison interprets the idea of home. Read on to discover how these branded visions take physical form. ### Dolce & Gabbana’s Opulence Arriving in 2028, 888 Brickell by Dolce & Gabbana by JDS Development will be Miami’s unabashed exercise in maximalism. Studio Sofield and Ken Fulk’s ivory travertine tower adorned with black high-gloss columns and a gold leaf-trimmed porte-cochère echoes D&G’s mix of Milanese heritage and Sicilian flamboyance. Residents of its 259 homes will arrive through a double-height lobby with a dramatic black marble staircase and Gatsby vibes and ascend to amenity floors that include signature restaurants, a recovery spa, a padel court, a golf simulator, a members-only speakeasy, a rooftop pool lined in deep-green marble and much more. Each of the one- to four-bedroom turnkey homes is adorned with bespoke hardware, rare wood and stone, handbuilt millwork and highly custom furniture. A distinctive perk of owning at 888 Brickell by Dolce & Gabbana Hotel & Residences will be the ability to maximize rental income by dividing a larger unit into separate, rentable spaces, thanks to a smart lock-off layout that lets you section off parts of your residence. With all the luxury amenities, D&G interiors, and perfect location, 888 Brickell seems destined to become one of the top condo hotels for sale in Miami, if not the best one. Watch our video interview for a complete understanding of what makes Dolce & Gabbana’s Miami condo project so unique. ### Missoni’s Vibrancy A few miles north, glass-clad Missoni Baia by OKO Group LLC offers a chromatic counterpoint on the Edgewater waterfront, inspired by minimalism and kinetic art. Completed in 2023, the slender 57-story tower by Asymptote Architecture, with interiors by rising New York design star Paris Forino, offers 249 one- to five-bedroom residences with 200 feet of bay frontage as a moodboard. The relaxed and muted palette comes to life with bursts of Missoni’s world-famous vibrant zigzag pattern in accents such as geometric mosaics, wall panels and woven textiles. Standout amenities include an expansive gym overlooking the bay, one of Miami’s largest spas (including a pet spa), and five distinct swimming pools: lap, lounge, kids’, plunge, and an infinity pool that cantilevers over Biscayne Bay. If you want to know more about what it could be like living in this fashion-branded building, tour one of the exclusive Missoni townhouses with us, priced under $5M. ### Armani’s Precision Further up the coast in Sunny Isles Beach, Residences by Armani/Casa, by Dezer Development and The Related Group, is a testament to Giorgio Armani’s renowned discipline of line and proportion. The 56-story silhouette designed by Argentine-American César Pelli is shaped to catch Atlantic light at its best. Interiors under the artistic direction of Armani himself layer ecru silk rugs, bronze trims, and smoked-oak wall panels with the restraint of a well-cut tuxedo. All 308 homes are wrapped by 10-foot-deep private balconies with glass railings for sweeping views. Amenities reflect a quiet luxury philosophy, such as the Armani Privé lounge, a two-story spa, and pool terraces framed by planters of sculpted sea-grape. Completed in 2019, the tower has become a case study in how minimalism, when executed by a master couturier, can feel as indulgent as baroque. Finally, the latest piece of the Armani symphony is Armani/Casa Residences Pompano Beach. Developed by Vertical Developments, WellDuo, SP and GCF, the oceanfront tower will stand as a pair of 19-story glass prisms on an untouched stretch of sand with only 28 floor-through homes. Designed by Miami’s G3 AEC with dune-scaping from West 8, the project slated for 2028 is limited to just 28 floor-through homes, one per level, so every owner occupies an entire horizon. Inside, Armani's signature residential palette includes pale travertine, brushed bronze, and dove-grey oak, all edited with runway precision. Wrap-around terraces and window walls stage 360-degree Atlantic and Intracoastal vistas, while private elevator lobbies, two-car garages, and dedicated beach cabanas seal the sense of seclusion. Amenities extend the brand’s code of elegant indulgence. A resort deck will pair a lagoon pool with a 45-foot lap lane; a wellness suite layers sauna, hammam, cold-plunge, and meditation garden; and an exquisitely furnished residents’ lounge shares the floor with a boardroom wired for global deal-making. This may well be the most surgical expression of Armani minimalism yet: twenty-eight private penthouses where quiet glamour meets open water. Contact us today for a private presentation of this masterpiece. ### Fendi's Refinement Before fashion-branded towers became a Miami signature, Fendi was already there, tailoring Italian craftsmanship into oceanfront architecture. Completed in 2016, Fendi Château Residences in Surfside set an early standard and showed how high fashion’s precision could translate into Miami real estate. Its 12 stories and 58 residences curve softly toward the ocean, echoing the rhythm of the shoreline. Each of the residences, ranging from 3,300 to over 7,000 square feet, is individually curated with Italian marble, custom Fendi fixtures, and furniture from the Casa collection. A soft, neutral palette contrasts the turquoise horizon framed by floor-to-ceiling glass. Three oceanfront pools, a private restaurant helmed by a celebrated chef, a luxury spa, and dedicated concierge services make Fendi Château as exclusive as any of its front-row runway seats. Fendi's next act, Avenia by Fendi Casa in Aventura, by Vertical Developments, will expand the brand's emblematic craftsmanship to a more contemporary form. Rising 18 stories with just 22 residences, the building's design language is elegant but playful, with layered materials, rounded contours, and curated interiors by the label’s design studio. Amenities will include a Fendi-branded wellness center, sky-high pool decks, and hospitality-style services that reflect the brand's balance of sophistication and comfort. ## Honorable Mentions: Diesel, ELLE, Baccarat and Karl Lagerfeld The ecosystem of branded living widens further with a set of projects that sit on the outskirts of the high-fashion sphere. Together, they broaden the category by appealing to buyers who respond to brand story as much as style. ### Diesel Wynwood While Diesel may not occupy the same high-fashion tier as its European peers, its project in Miami’s creative Wynwood district reflects a different kind of brand integration. Slated for 2026 and developed by Bel Invest, Diesel Wynwood will deliver 159 residences with industrial-inspired interiors, exposed concrete, and moody, textured materials aligned with the brand’s denim-driven identity. Among the amenities will be an art studio for painting, sculpture, photography, and design. Targeting creative professionals and younger luxury buyers, it taps into Miami’s evolving downtown culture. ### ELLE Residences Set for a 2028 completion, ELLE Residences will channel the French fashion magazine’s aesthetic DNA into residential form. Developed by Vertical Developments and Urban Network Capital Group, its interiors by The One Atelier are envisioned to incorporate the media brand's mid-century modern and contemporary Parisian chic into Edgewater. One of the ultimate rental-friendly Miami projects, ELLE Residences will arrive as a turnkey collection of 180 fully furnished and finished studios and one-bedrooms ranging from 450 to 845 square feet. Details such as chevron wood flooring and brass fixtures will translate the magazine’s signature chic into visual and tactile moments. Highlight amenities will include a resort-style pool and private cabanas, a gourmet summer kitchen with al fresco dining, an open-air movie theater, shuffleboard and bocce courts, and an ultra-luxe spa with steam and sauna rooms, cold plunges, and a Himalayan salt wall. Contact us today to discuss the best floor plans for you and discuss what short-term rental benefits you can expect with an ELLE Residences condo. ### Baccarat Residences Though Baccarat Residences aligns more with crystal than couture, it underscores the same principle: that heritage brands can carry their aesthetic codes into the realm of luxury living. Poised for 2028, the project by the Related Group, Arquitectonica, and Enzo Enea, managed by the famous jeweler, will be home to 1400 residences, along with a five-star hotel and office and retail spaces, just steps from the Brickell City Centre. Highlight amenities at this mega-development include access to the riverfront promenade, a pool deck, separate kids’ pool, five-star spa services, a tennis court, a riverfront restaurant, private boat slips, and more. ### The Estates at Acqualina In Sunny Isles Beach, The Estates at Acqualina is also worth a mention, as it adds a touch of couture cachet with a lobby designed by Karl Lagerfeld—a final architectural signature from the late designer that anchors one of the city’s most extravagant oceanfront developments. ## The Takeaway Together, these fashion-branded Miami towers read like chapters in a single style compendium: Dolce & Gabbana’s ornament, Missoni’s chroma, Armani’s sophistication, Fendi’s craftsmanship. Each project proves that in Miami, fashion branding is less a marketing veneer than a design thesis—one that turns square footage into a wearable, livable extension of the label itself. For buyers, these residences offer both the cachet of brand association and the promise of enduring design relevance—a kind of future-proof luxury asset that tends to hold its desirability even as tastes shift. Branded residences are no longer simply about luxury finishes or hotel-style service. They are about identity, alignment, and personal brand extension.

The island’s peripheral walkway is also popular among joggers and cyclists for its unmatched tranquility and scenic water views.

Developers now have the green light to go ahead with demolition while several design details remain under scrutiny. Located at 2720 and 2730 South Ocean Boulevard, the redevelopment plans to bring Palm Beach its first new oceanfront condo project in decades. Designed by West Palm Beach’s Spina O’Rourke + Partners in collaboration with New York’s OMA Architecture, the 4.9-acre project will consist of three five-story buildings offering just 41 ultra-luxury residences. Previous reports indicate that the oceanfront development will rise with Aman branding. In contrast to the traditional architecture of Palm Beach, this contemporary enclave will be defined by modern glass façades and deep balconies that maximize views. Floor plans will likely start at 2,274 square feet for a two-bedroom, ranging up to three and four-bedroom options. New York-based Studio Sofield will lead interior design.
