Where Culinary Mastery Converges with Architectural Brilliance

Villa Miami: A New Era of Luxury Living in East Edgewater

On December 12, 2024, the East Edgewater skyline is set to transform dramatically with the groundbreaking of Villa Miami, a groundbreaking residential development that promises to redefine luxury living in Miami. This ambitious project is a collaboration between several industry titans: Terra, led by David Martin; One Thousand Group, with Kevin Venger, Louis Birdman, and Michael Konig; and the culinary visionaries of Major Food Group, including Jeff Zalaznick, Mario Carbone, Rich Torrisi, and Miami’s own Alex Pirez. Villa Miami marks a significant milestone as the hospitality brand makes its debut in residential development, signaling a bold new chapter in Miami’s luxury real estate landscape.

Architectural Marvel: The Design of Villa Miami

Rising 650 feet above Biscayne Bay, Villa Miami will be a striking copper-clad, 56-story tower that offers only 70 exclusive half- and full-floor residences. This low-density model is designed to provide residents with a sense of privacy and exclusivity, transforming living spaces into true “homes in the sky.” David Martin, CEO of Terra, emphasizes this commitment to world-class design and culinary innovation, stating, “Villa Miami embodies a commitment to world-class design and culinary innovation, while embracing a low-density model that redefines exclusivity.”

The architectural design of Villa Miami is led by ODP Architects, who have strategically positioned the tower to offer residents effortless access to Miami’s vibrant cultural, shopping, and dining hubs, including the Design District and Wynwood. The building promises breathtaking views of Biscayne Bay and the iconic Miami Beach skyline, making it a coveted address for discerning buyers.

A Culinary Experience Like No Other

One of the standout features of Villa Miami is its integration with Major Food Group, known for its exceptional dining experiences. Jeff Zalaznick, Co-founder of Major Food Group, highlights the meticulous attention to detail that has gone into every aspect of the project. “Every element of Villa Miami—from the design and finishes to the curated amenities—is a reflection of our dedication to excellence. This building represents more than luxury; it’s a physical manifestation of our passion for precision and quality,” he remarks.

Residents will enjoy priority access to a new waterfront restaurant by Major Food Group, adding another layer of exclusivity to the living experience. This collaboration not only enhances the culinary offerings but also elevates the overall lifestyle for residents.

Unparalleled Amenities: The Copper Club

At the heart of Villa Miami is The Copper Club, a three-floor, resident-only amenity suite that epitomizes luxury. This exclusive space includes private dining areas, lounges, a screening room, and wellness facilities, ensuring that residents have access to everything they need for a sophisticated lifestyle. Additionally, a rooftop helipad adds a unique touch, catering to those who value convenience and exclusivity.

The Copper Club is designed to foster a sense of community among residents while providing them with the ultimate in luxury and comfort. It is a space where residents can unwind, socialize, and indulge in the finest amenities that Villa Miami has to offer.

Interior Design: A Touch of Elegance

The interiors of Villa Miami will be designed by the renowned Vicky Charles of Charles & Co., marking her Miami debut. Her design philosophy draws inspiration from mid-century Italian villas and the vibrant energy of Miami, resulting in a harmonious blend of warm woods, elegant curves, and ambient lighting. This thoughtful design approach aims to create an inviting atmosphere that balances comfort with sophistication, making each residence a true sanctuary.

A Legacy of Excellence

The development of Villa Miami is backed by the impressive track record of Terra and One Thousand Group, who have previously delivered iconic projects such as Five Park Miami Beach, Mr. C Residences Coconut Grove, and One Thousand Museum by Zaha Hadid. Their combined expertise and commitment to excellence ensure that Villa Miami will set a new benchmark for luxury living in the region.

Looking Ahead: The Future of Luxury Real Estate

As construction progresses, with seawall work already underway since September, Villa Miami is slated for delivery in late 2027. Kevin Venger of One Thousand Group notes, “With Villa Miami, we’re bringing another landmark to Miami’s skyline, redefining luxury in Edgewater and Biscayne Bay.” This project promises to deliver a unique blend of sophistication, exclusivity, and visionary design, reshaping the future of Miami’s luxury real estate market.

In conclusion, Villa Miami is not just a residential development; it is a transformative project that embodies the essence of luxury living in Miami. With its stunning architecture, exceptional culinary offerings, and unparalleled amenities, Villa Miami is poised to become a landmark in East Edgewater, attracting those who seek the finest in life. As the skyline evolves, so too does the promise of an extraordinary lifestyle that awaits its future residents.
