Florida’s first standalone Four Seasons residences to open in Miami

Real estate development firms CMC Group and Fort Partners, together with leading luxury hospitality and branded residential company Four Seasons, have announced the launch of Four Seasons Private Residences Coconut Grove in Miami, Florida.

Set within one of Miami’s most historic neighbourhoods and building on the success of Four Seasons residential portfolio in South Florida and around the globe, this groundbreaking development will be the first Four Seasons standalone offering in the state, delivering legendary service and experiences outside of a hotel or resort.

"Four Seasons is the standard-bearer for luxury around the world and has captivated the real estate market with its leading branded residences,” says Nadim Ashi, CEO of Fort Partners.

“We are thrilled to continue our proven relationship with the esteemed brand and forge a new partnership with the highly successful CMC Group on developing this first-of-its-kind offering in the coveted Coconut Grove neighbourhood."

A world-class team has been selected to bring the vision to life, with acclaimed Florentine designer Michele Bönan at the helm of the interiors and Miami-based Luis Revuelta crafting the architecture.

Four Seasons Private Residences Coconut Grove will offer 70 homes ranging from two- to four-bedrooms and spanning up to 3,980 sqft (370 sqm). Four penthouse residences will range from nearly 6,430 to 9,690 sqft (597 to 900 sqm).

The distinctive property will rise 20 storeys, providing future-residents with unobstructed ocean views overlooking Biscayne Bay.

Inspired by Coconut Grove’s beloved landscape, a sanctuary beneath the shade of banyan and mahogany trees, the building’s façade is softly curved to blend into the land’s natural rhythm while creating a defining presence within the skyline.

"With our growing standalone residential portfolio, Four Seasons is elevating luxury living for discerning buyers by blending personalized service alongside prime real estate in the best locations worldwide,” said Bart Carnahan, President, Global Business Development, Portfolio Management, and Residential, Four Seasons.

“In a competitive branded residential market like Miami, the trust and credibility of our brand will no doubt drive demand for this exceptional project in Coconut Grove.

“Together with our esteemed partners at Fort and CMC, we look forward to welcoming this spectacular project to our dynamic portfolio of Four Seasons Private Residences across South Florida.”

Ugo Colombo, CEO of CMC Group, said: "With over 35 years of experience, our luxury condos have set the standard in the South Florida market.

“Fifteen years ago, CMC Group pioneered luxury living in the Grove with Grovenor House, and now with Four Seasons Coconut Grove, we're raising the bar yet again.

“By integrating the renowned Four Seasons service, we're not just resetting standards; we're redefining luxury living. Our commitment to quality remains unwavering, ensuring that our buildings continue to be the benchmark for excellence in the industry."

The spaces designed by Michele Bönan reflect the renowned architect’s signature style, with a blend of timeless elegance and contemporary aesthetics. Bönan creates a cohesive connection between the interiors and the natural beauty of Coconut Grove, with design inspired by the verdant tropics, the ocean, and the quintessential charm of Miami.

The homes are crafted to be as polished as they are welcoming, exuding a sense of enduring sophistication achieved through classic lines, elegant furnishings, and a palette dominated by neutral tones.

“The essence of Coconut Grove and the cultural significance of the location's past, including the gorgeous climate, spectacular views and exceptional quality of life, guided each step of the design process,” said Michele Bönan.

“Whether through design elements influenced by the rhythm of the ocean or patterns created in the sand, we maintained fluidity between the surroundings and the interiors to allow residents to relax and immerse themselves in the atmosphere of the space.”

Homes at Four Seasons Private Residences Coconut Grove will feature nearly 11-foot (3.35 metre) ceilings throughout, complementing the spacious, open floor plans.

Custom Italian-style kitchens designed by Molteni and Bönan feature top-of-the-line Miele appliances and European finishes, while bathrooms include cabinetry and panelling by Noorth complemented by Margraf marble finishes.

Each home will be accessed via private elevator, creating an intimate arrival experience, and will feature the latest in-home automation systems and lighting controls.

Designed to provide a luxurious and intimate residential experience, Four Seasons Private Residences Coconut Grove will offer an extensive amenities collection for residents, including a restaurant, library, state-of-the-art gym and yoga room, spa with cold plunge and hammam, children’s area and private event room, as well as an expansive pool deck and bar lounge serviced by Four Seasons.

Residents will also enjoy the benefits of legendary Four Seasons service even without a hotel, including a dedicated Director of Residences, concierge, housekeeping and butler services, in-residence dining, valet and wellness programming, among other offerings.

Four Seasons Private Residences Coconut Grove will reflect the neighbourhood’s refined, serene atmosphere, steeped in culture and connectedness. Residents will be in close proximity to the water and situated among the town’s beloved local boutiques, restaurants and some of the nation’s leading schools, creating a close-knit community and well-rounded walkable lifestyle.
