36 private boat dockages are provided

the scheme boasts a collection of resort-style amenities including a waterfront social room with a bar; a catering kitchen; a landscaped half-acre roof-top pool deck with views of miami beach, downtown miami and biscayne bay; and an expansive infinity-edge pool with a waterfall. the development also includes a club room with a bar, virtual golf and billiard table; a cinema-quality private theater; a children’s room, and art and music rooms.

furthermore, owners will have the opportunity to rejuvenate in a private spa treatment suite, steam rooms and a sauna, meditation garden, indoor and outdoor yoga studios, and work out in a state-of-the-art fitness center. there will also be a BBQ and dining area and a library/conference room. in addition, the residences will have two attended lobbies with 24-hour concierge service, valet parking, a pet salon suite and full, personalized concierge services.

brightly lit living spaces present sweeping views across the region

located a short distance from the area’s top-tier schools and steps away from the prestigious upper north bay road, the residences are priced from $2 million to $40 million USD for penthouses. ‘the fusion of piero lissoni’s modernist vision with the unrivaled service and legacy of the ritz-carlton is a rare offering, unmatched in south florida,’ said ophir sternberg, CEO of lionheart capital. ‘lissoni’s modern and artistic design will create a development that will change the miami beach skyline and how we look at luxury living.’
