Piero Lissoni’s first architectural project in the U.S. is getting major buzz. Designed with the award-winning Miami architecture firm ADD Inc., The Ritz-Carlton Residences will feature gardens, pool, entertainment spaces and a private marina for the owners of 111 condominium residences and 15 villas. The two-to-five homes range in size from 1,700 to more than 10,000 square feet, with interiors custom-designed by Lissoni Associati. “We’re seeing an influx of buyers looking for expansive homes with distinctive floor plans,” says Carolyn Ellert, co-owner of Premier Sales Group, the national exclusive sales and marketing team for the development. “With over 60 different floor plans to choose from, the location and design of The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Miami Beach, speaks directly to the discerning buyer who is seeking a larger home in a waterfront setting.” The Residences are priced from $2million to more than $25 million and are scheduled to be completed in 2015. 4701 North Meridian Ave., Miami Beach, 305-953-9500, theresidencesmiamibeach.com
