The Ritz-Carlton Residences, South Beach represents a masterclass in boutique oceanfront living, situated at the legendary intersection of Lincoln Road and the Atlantic Ocean. Developed by a visionary partnership between Lionstone Development, the Ben-Josef Group, and Flag Luxury Group, this architectural landmark at 1671 Collins Avenue seamlessly bridges the historic Art Deco soul of the Sagamore Hotel with a striking new contemporary tower. Designed by the acclaimed Kobi Karp Architecture and Interior Design with refined interiors by the world-renowned Alessandro Munge of Studio Munge, the project features a limited collection of only 30 custom-designed “beach houses in the sky.” Scheduled for completion in late 2027 to 2028, the development offers an intimate, ultra-private sanctuary where the legendary service of The Ritz-Carlton meets a sophisticated urban oasis curated for a discerning global clientele.

Each residence at The Ritz-Carlton Residences, South Beach is a flow-through masterpiece designed to capture panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean and the vibrant Miami Beach skyline. These homes range from approximately 1,200 to over 9,500 square feet, providing the scale of a private estate with the five-star hospitality of a world-class resort. With airy 10-foot ceilings, bespoke Italian-inspired cabinetry, and expansive wraparound terraces that function as outdoor living rooms, the project sets a new standard for South Beach luxury. The development team has meticulously curated every detail from the private elevator lobbies and Lutron lighting systems to the culinary programming led by Michelin-starred chef José Andrés ensuring that The Ritz-Carlton Residences remains a premier legacy asset in Miami’s most iconic neighborhood.

Project Overview and Developer Vision

The vision for The Ritz-Carlton Residences, South Beach is centered on the concept of “The Tension Between Local and Global.” The developers and design team sought to create a residential experience that honors Miami Beach’s historic MiMo and Art Deco movements while introducing a globally-honed, modern architectural voice. The tower’s sculptural facade and the restoration of the Sagamore’s “Grand Dame” glory create a seamless link from the pedestrian energy of Lincoln Road directly to the ocean.

Sustainability and modern engineering are at the forefront, with high-performance impact-resistant glass systems and a low-density philosophy that ensures extraordinary privacy. The design focuses on “less is more,” utilizing a palette of noble materials bronze, honey oak, and hand-selected natural stones to create an environment of bare, refined elegance. This approach allows the architecture and the lush landscape design by Naturalficial to speak for themselves, offering residents a tranquil retreat from the ordinary.

Pricing and Investment Potential

The Ritz-Carlton Residences, South Beach is positioned at the absolute top of the market, reflecting the extreme scarcity of new boutique oceanfront construction on Collins Avenue. Pricing begins at approximately 4 million for one-bedroom units, with multi-bedroom residences averaging between 3,500 and 6,000 per square foot. The investment thesis is supported by the “Ritz-Carlton Premium,” where branded residences consistently achieve higher resale values and rental yields than unbranded luxury counterparts.

Historically, Kobi Karp-designed projects in South Beach have demonstrated exceptional capital appreciation. The project’s limited inventory of only 30 units creates a structural supply gap, positioning it as a premier asset for capital preservation. The deposit structure allows buyers to capture equity growth throughout the construction cycle as the building moves toward its late 2027 delivery.
