Are you considering investing in luxury real estate or looking for a prestigious address in Miami? The Aston Martin Residences might just be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for. In this blog, we’ll explore why this residential development is a game-changer for the Miami real estate market and what makes it an irresistible option for those seeking the pinnacle of luxury living.
Aston Martin Residences: Setting a New Standard for Miami’s Skyline With Its Completion
It’s been a long road to Aston Martin’s new Miami residences, the 66-storey tower rising above the shoreline where the Miami River meets Biscayne Bay. Officially opening today, the 800ft-plus tower contains 391 apartments, 99 percent of which have now been sold. Like other car companies branching out into real estate, Aston Martin kicked off this project – developed in collaboration with G&G Business Developments – with the hope of bringing its design values to architecture, capturing the imagination of East Coast owners.
Aston Martin’s Miami Residences: A Vision Realized
We spoke to Marek Reichman, Aston Martin’s executive vice president and chief creative officer, about the genesis of the project, the extent of the car maker’s involvement, and the next steps for the Aston Martin brand. Back in 2021, we talked to Reichman and G&G’s CEO, Germán Coto, about a project that had just topped out. Two and a half years later, how has it all turned out?
‘We signed on to this project a decade ago,’ Reichman says from Shanghai, where he’s about to attend the Chinese Grand Prix. ‘Every aspect of the scheme was very important to us, from the 390 apartments to the lobby, the garaging, the amenities.’ Pointing out that every apartment from the swimming pool level upwards gets an Aston thrown in, he also notes that one in eight buyers were already owners.
Architectural Masterpiece by Aston Martin and G&G Business Developments
Reichman and the rest of the Aston Martin design team worked hand in hand with Rodolfo Miani of Miami, Santiago de Chile, and Buenos Aires firm Bodas Miani Anger (BMA) and Seville’s Revuelta Architecture. ‘It’s been very intense, a wonderful project on an extremely spectacular site,’ Reichman says, adding that although Covid put a spike in the original timetable, G&G were nothing but supportive, ensuring that specs remained sky-high throughout.
Unlike other branded towers, it was deemed essential that the Aston Martin Residences had a presence on the skyline that befitted a maker of svelte, proportionally perfect luxury sports cars. The sail-like profile of the tower is certainly distinctive, standing out from the surrounding cluster with flowing lines and a distinctive notch on the 55th floor. Here, you’ll find an infinity pool with a view, surrounded by Jacuzzis and cabanas, as well as the Aston Martin-designed sky bar and lounge, ballroom, and private dining areas.
Exclusive Living: The Final Touches
All that remains to be sold is the 20,000-square-foot triplex penthouse, one of the penthouses in the development. This has its own private pool deck, over 7,000 square feet of wraparound balconies, and a price tag of around $59 million. Every occupant has the option to engage the ‘Q by Aston Martin’ bespoke division to enhance their apartment specification (three interior design styles are available: Timeless, Covert, and Indulgent), but there’s also a massive focus on the shared amenity areas.
‘This is your home, so the main entrance lobby and concierge desk are very important,’ Reichman says. ‘From the marble to the artworks, the desk itself, and even the scent, everything has been overseen.’ That extends to individualized lift cars, the use of automotive-quality leather on the door handles, and specially developed keyless locks. ‘We’ve even designed the reader you hold your phone to,’ Reichman says.
A Long-term Commitment to Luxury Living
Detailed designs were also prepared for the club and pool areas that extend from the 52nd to 55th floor. This ‘sky gallery’ is united by a central glass staircase. ‘You arrive at this hanging lobby, four stories high,’ says Reichman, ‘with grey Italian marble floors throughout. Every detail is considered, from the way the exercise bikes and gym machines are countersunk into the floor to appear flush with the building. We’ve even designed the seats in the private cinema.’
‘We’ve really created an Aston Martin living space,’ Reichman concludes. Other architectural projects from the company include the No.001 Minami Aoyama house in Tokyo, and the Sylvan Rock private house in upstate New York. Commenting on the difference between architecture and automotive, Reichman notes that ‘you never really see everything until the very end of a project – 90 percent of the time you’re in a hard hat and things are swathed in scaffolding.’
Architecture, furniture design, watches, a speedboat, and even a helicopter have all helped Aston Martin broaden its reach deeper into the super-luxury sector. And it’s not stopping there. ‘Our criteria is one very special building per city,’ Reichman says when asked about future architectural projects. As for 300 Biscayne Boulevard Way, it’ll remain a rare monument to a singular and very driven design vision. ‘More than anything, it was about being the first automotive brand to do this,’ says Reichman. ‘It’s changed the skyline of Miami with its silhouette.’ You can’t ask for a much bigger brand statement than that.
