Luxury Residential Building Eighty Seven Park Rises in Miami Beach

/in /by

Rising above the beach and the newly invigorated North Shore Open Space Park is the luxury residential building, Eighty Seven Park. The residential tower was designed by Italian architect Renzo Piano, and the bright interiors were designed by Paris-based studio RDAI. This is Renzo Piano’s first residential building in the United States.

The talented team behind the highly anticipated luxury tower includes our client, global integrated design firm, Stantec, which served as the project’s executive architect. Development firm, Terra and Bizzi & Partners Development; New York City-based landscape architecture firm, West 8; and global architectural lighting designers, Lux Populi were also part of the collaborative team.

“Working daily with Renzo Piano’s team in Paris was an honor. Our architecture married with his design resulted in a building that blurs the line between indoor and outdoor living, immersed in a park-like environment,” said Stantec’s Project Manager, Joe Murguido. “Perfecting the spatial relationships between the residences, common areas and amenity spaces was very challenging, but the end result should be both stunning and peacefully harmonious, flooded with reflective sunlight from the ocean.”

Eighty Seven Park is located at the northernmost perimeter of Miami Beach in the North Beach district. The project features an 18-story oval construction elevated on white pillars. It boasts 70 residential units, ranging from approximately 1,400 to 7,000 square feet. Each unit features a private terrace and floor-to-ceiling windows for expansive views of the nearby parks and the Atlantic Ocean. The residences’ design is one with nature through the use of American Oak, Italian stone, wraparound glass balconies, with a pristine white façade with touches of gray.

With design inspired by the natural surroundings of North Beach, materials collected from the location site, pebbles, shells, leaves and sea grass are highlighted throughout the building.

SoFlo Home Project Tours Choeff Levy Fischman Residence

/in /by

SoFlo Home Project, hosted by design expert Alena Capra, takes South Florida viewers inside some of our region’s most luxurious residences each week. Our client, Ralph Choeff of award-winning architecture firm, Choeff Levy Fischman, was recently featured on the show. Ralph let viewers inside of 19 Palm, a Tropical Modern home the firm designed in one of Miami Beach’s most sought out neighborhoods. The home is so stunning producers decided it deserved not one, but two episodes which aired on February 28th and March 7th.

The two-story home, designed in the architect’s famed Tropical Modern architectural style, provides large living spaces in an open-concept format. It includes floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors that open up to the rear deck, blending the indoors with the outdoors while also providing unprecedented views of the bay. Boasting 9,600 square-feet, with 6 bedrooms, 8.5 bathrooms, and a home theater, the home is full of several outstanding design elements throughout.

“Architecture is made up of a series of moments and you want the person who lives here or is visiting to experience those moments as they approach the house,” said Ralph Choeff during his interview with Alena Capra.

One of those initial moments Ralph and his team created is a British-made automobile rotating turntable triggered by a remote control located in the private motor court. The architects felt this was an important feature for the home due to the narrow shape of the home’s driveway, making it easier for the driver to enter and exit the home.

In the center of home Choeff Levy Fischman designed a stunning open-air atrium with a soothing water feature accompanied by concrete steps that appear to float.

“The theme here is that water is a natural beauty in South Florida, so we want to maintain that Zen feel and have a connection to the bay,” said Architect Ralph Choeff.

SoFlo Home Project airs every Saturday at 11am on WPLG Local 10. Watch the first episode here.

The Yukon Miami Building Hits the Market and Hosts Launch Party

/in /by

Located at 119 Washington Avenue in Miami Beach’s affluent South of Fifth neighborhood, The Yukon Miami commands one of the highest per-square-foot rents in Florida. The Class A trophy building just hit the market for $45 million, and a rooftop launch party will take place this week.

Amit Egan Datwani, founder & chief consultant of The Global Consulting Organization, is listing the property along with Cyril Bijaoui of The Company Real Estate. The Arquitectonica-designed building was developed in 2002 by Yantra 119 LLC. A conceptual design showing the unique building’s potential was designed by PALMA, an architecture firm based in Chicago.

“The Yukon Miami is the ideal opportunity for a visionary investor that understands this and has the ability to transform the property from a trophy asset to an absolute gem,” Egan Datwani said.

The 43,140-square-foot commercial office building is the only Class A office building located in the South of Fifth enclave steps away from world-class, record revenue breaking restaurants and more.

In addition to its prime location, The Yukon Miami features more than 8,000 square feet of available rooftop terrace space with 360-degree views of the Atlantic Ocean, Miami Beach, and Downtown Miami, the largest commercial roof and deck space in South of Fifth.

Anchor tenants include One Sotheby’s International Realty, Red Steakhouse, real estate investment company W5 Group and several heavy-weight financial companies, including Boston-based Raptor Capital Management, Manhattan-based York Capital Management, and Sero Capital.

Stantec’s Andrew Burnett Featured in Invest Fort Lauderdale

/in /by

Architect and Stantec Miami’s Senior Principal Andrew Burnett, AIA, LEED AP BD+C, NCARB, was recently interviewed by Invest Fort Lauderdale. He addressed the company’s key projects in the area including the Broward County Convention Center and Hotel, one of the largest projects underway in Broward that has many resilient aspects.  Stantec is the architect of record and landscape architect for the $1 billion dollar project that includes additional convention space and a new outdoor plaza and 800-room hotel.
Burnett also shared his insight on the multifamily market such as the demand for smaller units outside the downtown urban core, an indication that people are looking for alternative housing solutions that are more affordable.  Another trend he’s seeing is residential projects permitting themselves like a hotel which allows developers to operate as a short-term rental while they’re leasing their building.  As a result of this, Stantec is designing spaces to be more flexible.
Other topics Burnett discussed include the opportunity zones and the National Flood Insurance Program.  Stantec’s other projects in Broward County include Manor Miramar, Las Olas Walk, 1380 South Ocean Boulevard and the new AC Hotel by Marriott in Sawgrass Mills.
