Happy Friday, Miami!

In this week’s update:

⭐️ Four Seasons Breaks Ground on Florida’s First Standalone Residences: Florida’s first standalone Four Seasons residences are coming to Coconut Grove. With 70 luxury homes, Biscayne Bay views, and full hospitality-style services (minus the hotel), this 20-story tower is setting a new bar for Miami living.

🇮🇹 Beloved Milanese Trattoria Le Specialità Lands in Miami Design District: Le Specialità, a Milan favorite since 1977, has opened its first U.S. location in the Miami Design District. With retro-chic interiors, art-filled walls, and a menu rooted in refined Milanese cuisine, the trattoria marks a major step forward for Spicy Hospitality Group’s growing presence in Miami.

💻 Wynwood Emerges as Miami’s Next Office Hotspot: Miami’s office market is shifting as tenants chase top-tier, amenity-rich spaces—many of which are now found in Wynwood.

🌟 Florida’s First Standalone Four Seasons Residences Officially Breaks Ground in Coconut Grove

Driving the news: CMC Group and Fort Partners have officially begun construction on the Four Seasons Private Residences Coconut Grove — the first standalone Four Seasons-branded residential project in Florida and a landmark addition to Miami’s luxury real estate scene.

Details:

• The 20-story tower will include 70 residences and 4 penthouses, all with panoramic views of Biscayne Bay.

• Homes range from 2,025 to 9,690 square feet and feature Italian kitchens by Molteni, marble bathrooms, and private elevator foyers.

• Designed by Luis Revuelta with interiors by Michele Bönan, the project is expected to be completed in early 2028.

• Resort-style amenities include a library, restaurant, private event room, kids’ area, expansive pool deck, and wellness center.

• The “Caesar Experience” spa circuit features a cold plunge, hydromassage pool, ice fountain, and sauna sequence by Europe’s Hofer Group.

• The property will offer Four Seasons service — even without a hotel — through a dedicated Lifestyle Manager, in-residence dining, housekeeping, and valet.

Why it matters: This is a major moment for Coconut Grove, bringing ultra-luxury living and hospitality-style services to one of Miami’s most beloved neighborhoods. The Four Seasons name carries international prestige, and this project signals confidence in long-term demand for branded, amenitized residences.

The big picture: Miami continues to evolve as a global destination for high-end real estate, and this development blends heritage with next-level living. The collaboration between CMC Group and Fort Partners reflects a shared vision of timeless architecture, elevated design, and service-first living.

By the numbers:

• 20 stories

• 70 residences + 4 penthouses

• Completion: early 2028

• Residence sizes: 2,025–9,690 sq ft

Between the lines: Even without a hotel, the project leans heavily on the Four Seasons ethos — hospitality, discretion, and comfort. That’s increasingly what affluent buyers are seeking: brand trust, a refined aesthetic, and day-to-day ease.

What’s next: With the sales gallery now open, buyers can get a first glimpse of life at Four Seasons Coconut Grove. Expect units to draw global interest as development progresses.

The bottom line: The first standalone Four Seasons residences in Florida isn’t just raising the bar — it’s redefining what luxury means in Coconut Grove. From spa rituals to skyline views, this is service-driven living, built to last.
