Yacht Brand Riva Will Debut The World’s First Yacht-Branded Condo

BACK TO NEWS January 28, 2025 Yacht Brand Riva Will Debut The World’s First Yacht-Branded Condo by Emma Reynolds Luxury branded residences are growing by the minute, with brands from even the most unexpected categories entering the luxury residential market. It comes as no surprise that storied hospitality brands, such as Four Seasons, Ritz-Carlton, Raffles, and St. Regis, are dominating the category across the globe, but many non-hotel brands are also finding great success. For the luxury consumer, a branded residence indicates an assurance when it comes to service, amenities, and design. More than a logo, these branded residences are the pinnacle of luxury living for brand loyalists and those seeking a similar community. Unexpected brands like Major Food Group, Bulgari, Porsche, Cipriani, Nobu, Dolce & Gabbana, and even ELLE Magazine have entered the market. Miami and Dubai—both international and cosmopolitan markets—have enticed many brands, especially as test markets, for their global demographic and luxury appeal. It comes as no surprise, then, that a globally renowned yacht company would also try its hand at a residential real estate project. A yacht is not so different from a luxury residence when it comes to design, craftsmanship, and the overall living experience. A small subset of the ultra-wealthy population split their time between their yacht and their luxury home. Each is a personal sanctuary that defines your taste and lifestyle. Now, you can get a taste of the yacht lifestyle in a real estate building with the first-ever yacht-branded residence in the world: Riva Residenze. From WellDuo, Vertical Developments, and GCF Developments, Riva Residenze will be located in Fort Lauderdale—a coveted area for luxury homebuyers in South Florida just north of Miami. Italian yacht company Riva dates back to 1832 and is known for its expert craftsmanship and use of fine materials. It’s the oldest and most iconic shipyard in the world, which excels today with cutting-edge technology, performance, style, durability, and elegance. Even if you don’t know the name brand from memory, it’s likely you’ve seen a Riva vessel in iconic movies like James Bond. The Aquarama is arguably the yacht company’s most famous boat and has gained quite a nautical reputation for its sleek aesthetic. For many, the Aquarama is reminiscent of the exclusive shores of Lake Como, Italy and other elite European destinations.   “The Aquarama revolutionized the idea of going on holiday, experiencing the sea, and being exclusive, which established a new benchmark for elegance,” says Alberto Galassi, CEO of Ferretti Group, which owns Riva. “Since then, Riva has been more than a boat brand, representing a world of beauty and style that has inspired design, fashion and lifestyle choices. Riva Residenze takes the brand’s signature aesthetics, including mahogany, steel, the color aquamarine, and timeless styling, into the luxury living sector. The quality and focus on detail that have made Riva famous are unique and universal characteristics that increase the value and appeal of every living space.” Riva Residenze will feature just 36 residences designed by renowned architecture firm Arquitectonica, as well as a private marina nestled between the ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway. The 20-story development encompasses two parcels and boasts 200 feet of linear waterfront. Located at a prestigious address along Harbor Drive, homes within Riva Residenze will face both the ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway, allowing residents full access to the ultimate maritime lifestyle. The homes feature sleek nautical and yacht-inspired design, including curvilinear walls, chrome finishes, and custom leather stitching. Layouts range from two- to six-bedroom residences spanning 2,000 to 4,493 square feet. There will also be two penthouses more than 8,000 square feet. Italian-design kitchens, spa-inspired bathrooms, and sumptuous living spaces will anchor each unit. There will also be 20,000 square feet of amenities, including expansive wellness spaces, including a Pilates studio, yoga, fitness lawn, gym, sauna, and spa; a 75-foot lap pool; and a Sky Lounge with a kitchen, library, private cinema, cigar room, wine room, and media room. There will also be water amenities, like a surf room that acts as the homebase for paddle boarding, kayaking, and more.

Rising 24 stories, the tower will hold 56 units ranging from 3K SF to 13K SF. Pricing for each unit starts at $10M, with the penthouse on the market for $75M, according to a release. The amenities span 25K SF and include a fitness pavilion, a hammam-style spa, pickleball and paddle ball courts, a lounge and a children’s playroom. The Rivage, from Miami-based Related, led by Jorge Perez, Two Roads and Boston-based Rockpoint, secured $100M in sales in the last two months alone. Construction for the project began in September and is expected to be completed in 2027.

Dolce & Gabbana, Elle magazine launch luxury condos in Miami

BACK TO NEWS January 28, 2025 Dolce & Gabbana, Elle magazine launch luxury condos in Miami By Christopher Cameron The streets of Miami are a runway — now its corridors are, too. For years, developers have blended fashion and lifestyle in branded projects from the likes of Fendi and Armani. But the latest crop of couture condos are all about cool. At 888 Brickell, new residences from Dolce & Gabbana will rise 90 stories or 1,049 feet — a record height for Miami — with 259 residences and a yet to be announced 5-star hotel. Dolce & Gabbana is lending its label (and OTT, gilded design skills) to 888 Brickell, where prices start at $3.5 million.Image by LL&Co. It’s all about elegance with an edge: a pastiche of NYC’s Seagram Building with Milanese midcentury from JDS Development and Studio Sofield. The facade features ivory travertine, white stucco and matte black steel beams; at the street level, the building shimmers in a necklace of golden beads. “This is the first Dolce & Gabbana branded residence in the US,” says Daniel de la Vega, president of One Sotheby’s International Realty, which is marketing the project, where prices start at $3.5 million. “There’s a lot of golds and blacks and I think it comes together in a very elegant way.”  The brand is furnishing the interiors. “It’s really resonated with international buyers,” says de la Vega. “The ballrooms, the bar, the mezzanine, the lap pools, the wellness components … it’s not just beautifully designed and impeccably branded, but has incredible amenities.” While residents at 888 will enjoy access to a house Rolls Royce, buyers at the new Rider Residences get a selection of haute hogs. Located at 94 NE 29th St., between Wynwood, Midtown, Edgewater and the Design District, the Rider is a 12-story, 146-condo building that channels the “golden age of rock ‘n’ roll” with a “rebellious style” and $1 million of artworks (think: original art photos of nostalgic celebs like Brigitte Bardot and David Bowie). “Growing up I had a poster on my wall from the movie ‘Easy Rider.’ I wanted the flavor of that,” said Diego Ojeda, president of developer Rilea Group, which plans to complete the project in 2026. “We are going to have a fleet of a dozen motorcycles, a mixture of Harley Davidsons, Triumphs and Vespas for our residents. It will be really cool to just get on a Harley and cruise around Miami.” Get the party started in the building’s Vinyl Hi-Fi Listening Room, which features a limited-edition Brionvega Radiofonografo turntable designed by Achille Castiglioni and crafted in Italy. The morning after, head to the Recovery Room on the pool deck. The cost of all that cool? Prices for a one-bedroom start around $500,000 and rise to upwards of $1.8 million for a three-bedroom leather jackets not included. For a more glossy experience, head to the 25-floor Elle Residences Miami at 3618 NE 5th Ave. in Edgewater. Urban Network Capital Group and Vertical Developments are behind the 180-unit project from the 79-year-old tastemaking magazine. Interiors by The One Atelier (Fendi and Karl Lagerfeld vets) will channel the pages of sister pub Elle Decor with their elegant and airy designs. It’s a youthful concept with a French Riviera-inspired sundeck, two pools, an outdoor movie theater, a chic fitness center and prices from an approachable $525,000 with Fortune Development Sales.
