In the words of our Director of Luxury Sales, Stephanie Bienstock, true luxury lies in the details. It’s not something defined by price, but by bespoke experiences, exceptional craftsmanship, and how a space makes you feel. 

At Blackbook Properties, we specialize in uncovering the defining elements that set the finest residences apart so you can determine which projects align with your lifestyle the best.

They also share insights on the most prestigious locations in Miami Beach and the mainland, the price points across varying levels of luxury, and the must-haves of Miami's latest collection of premium developments.

Whether you’re investing in a primary residence or an investment property, understanding the evolving landscape of Miami’s luxury and ultra-luxury market is essential. 

Going beyond iconic waterfront views, here’s what some of Miami’s most coveted new and preconstruction condo projects have to offer:

Aston Martin Residences, Downtown Miami

This newly completed supertall offers move-in-ready luxury with unparalleled views of the Miami River and Biscayne Bay. Buenos Aires-based BMA partnered with Aston Martin’s design team to recreate the luxury experience you know and love, complete with the brand’s signature color palette, doors with custom Aston Martin handles, number plinths, and custom scenting in the common areas. 

Along with access to the only superyacht marina in Downtown and the exclusive Aston Martin Club, you will enjoy a rooftop helipad, simulation golf, putting greens, an art gallery with a rotating collection, a full-service spa, both indoor and outdoor pools, and much more.

Elysee, Edgewater

This boutique tower flaunts a distinctive telescope-like silhouette, making it a prominent landmark on the shoreline. With a maximum of two residences per floor and interiors by French designer Jean-Louis Deniot, you can enjoy an elegantly stylish home that ensures utmost privacy. With two oversized terraces, each unit opens up to magnificent views of the Bay, Miami Beach and Downtown.

Along with round-the-clock Premium Elysee Attaché concierge services, you have a bayfront pool, another resort-style pool, a poolside bar, a waterfront fitness center, a bayfront owner’s lounge, a grand salon, guest suites, and many other amenities to elevate everyday living at this waterfront high-rise.

Ritz-Carlton Residences, South Beach

This Kobi Karp-designed tower will feature only 30 oceanfront homes. In addition to wraparound terraces and direct ocean views, you will have access to a unique dining experience created by the Michelin-starred Chef José Andrés, along with owner benefits at the newly renovated Sagamore next door, as well as other Ritz-Carlton properties across the globe.

The Residences at 1428 Brickell

This first-of-its-kind LEED-certified building will feature a 20,000 square-foot “Solar Backbone” featuring 500 photovoltaic panels, which will be capable of generating around 175 MWh of clean energy a year. Italian starchitects Antonio Citterio & Patricia Viel (ACPV Architects) ensure you have open, flowing floor plans that are optimized for day and night use. In addition to all plus-den floor plans, you will have truly “flex” kitchens with stackable doors and frosted glass that can stay open or enclosed at your discretion.

Four Seasons Private Residences, Coconut Grove

This residence-only tower will feature just 70 bay-facing homes starting at around 2,000 square feet for a two-bedroom. In addition to turnkey units featuring Molteni & C kitchens, owners will receive membership to the invitation-only Beach Club at the Surf Club by Four Seasons in Surfside. 

The boutique building will also house a 10,000-square-foot signature spa featuring Four Seasons’ choicest treatments, a cold plunge, an ice fountain, a hydromassage pool, and a full sauna circuit.
