The Four Seasons Private Residences in Coconut Grove is another exclusive branded luxury project for anyone who wants to experience five-star services with a very boutique fee, and without the hassle of sharing space with hotel guests. 

This exclusive project features all bay-facing residences with interiors by the renowned Italian designer Michele Bönan.

A residence in this boutique building affords you all the Four Seasons signature services, along with access to a 10,000 square foot spa, multi-use sports courts with pickleball and basketball, an immersive Hammock Forest, and membership to the invitation-only Beach Club at the Four Seasons Surf Club in Surfside. 

888 Brickell by Dolce & Gabbana

Crafted for true admirers of Italian style, 888 Brickell by Dolce & Gabbana is coming up with one of the hottest condos in Miami. 

Right from its travertine stone exterior and gold beading to fully furnished residences outfitted with the finest selections, each and every element is handpicked by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana themselves to recreate the brand’s signature couture experience. 

America’s first Dolce & Gabbana Pool Club, featuring a 3,900 square foot pool deck, will be one of the amenity highlights.

Rivage Bal Harbour
