Villa 17 represents a masterclass in modern boutique living, situated at the historic intersection of 17th Street and Jefferson Avenue in the heart of South Beach. This exclusive collection, developed by Regency Development Group and designed by the world-renowned Kobi Karp Architecture & Interior Design, delivers a sophisticated “hill town” aesthetic to one of Miami Beach’s most established residential enclaves. Comprising only 10 meticulously crafted townhomes across 4 interior levels plus a private rooftop terrace, Villa 17 offers an intimate, sanctuary-like atmosphere that harmonizes cutting-edge glass-and-stone architecture with the storied elegance of its Art Deco surroundings. Estimated for completion in late 2026 to early 2027, the project provides a rare opportunity to own a brand-new, oversized residence just steps from the world-famous Lincoln Road and the vibrant energy of Sunset Harbour.

Each residence at Villa 17 is a vertical masterpiece, spanning approximately 2,700 to over 3,400 square feet of interior living space. These four-bedroom homes are designed as “turnkey” luxury assets, with interiors led by the acclaimed design firm Yodezeen. Featuring 10-foot ceilings, private internal elevators serving all five levels, and floor-to-ceiling impact-resistant glass, the development sets a new standard for urban residential excellence. The project is tailored for a discerning global clientele, offering bespoke furniture packages and significant customization options that allow each owner to craft a unique legacy home in the center of South Beach’s cultural and culinary district.

Project Overview and Developer Vision

The vision for Villa 17 is centered on the concept of “Contemporary Sophistication in a Historic Context.” Regency Development Group and Kobi Karp sought to create a residential experience that respects the architectural heritage of Miami Beach while introducing a level of privacy and modern luxury typically reserved for single-family estates. The building’s sleek, multi-faceted facade utilizes a neutral palette and natural materials to exude warmth and calm, allowing the structure to blend harmoniously with the neighboring historic low-rise buildings.

Sustainability and intelligent design are at the forefront, with residences featuring pre-wiring for advanced smart-home automation and climate-controlled private garages. The low-density philosophy just 10 total homes ensures an exclusive environment with minimal foot traffic. This development marks a significant achievement in modern urban infill, successfully providing expansive family-sized homes in a walkable, high-demand metropolitan center.

Key Project Stats

Architecture and Design Excellence

The interiors at Villa 17 are a study in refined minimalism and tailored craftsmanship. Yodezeen has utilized a carefully curated palette of stone, wood, and metal to create light-filled spaces that feel both elevated and grounded. The kitchens are professional-grade culinary centers, showcasing custom Molteni&C or Yodezeen cabinetry, stone waterfall islands, and a full suite of Miele appliances, including an integrated wine fridge and coffee system.

Primary suites are designed as expansive retreats, featuring large walk-in wardrobes and spa-inspired bathrooms designed by Antonio Lupi. These baths are finished with premium wood or porcelain flooring, Toto fixtures, and indirect lighting systems to create a serene atmosphere. The private rooftop terraces are a defining feature; they are customizable to the owner’s lifestyle, offering options for outdoor kitchens, lounging areas, and fire pits, providing a secluded outdoor realm with 360-degree views of the Miami Beach canopy.

Strategic South Beach Location

Located at 1719 Jefferson Avenue, Villa 17 commands a prime position just one block from the world-famous Lincoln Road Mall. This enclave is globally recognized for its vibrant culture, high-end nightlife, and proximity to cultural landmarks like the New World Center and the Fillmore Miami Beach. Residents enjoy a unique “village” feel within a private and serene neighborhood, while remaining steps away from the trendiest shops and restaurants in Sunset Harbour.

The location offers a perfect strategic balance: the tranquility of a non-waterfront residential street with immediate access to Miami’s high-energy hubs. The site is a 5-minute walk to the beach, 15 minutes to the Miami Design District, and 20 minutes to Miami International Airport. This positioning has historically driven strong demand from local professionals and international buyers seeking a centrally located, walkable boutique residence that avoids the density of high-rise towers.

Location Advantages

• Views: Panoramic South Beach neighborhood and city skyline vistas.

• Walkability: Steps from Lincoln Road, the beach, and top-rated dining.

• Drive Times: Design District 15 min, South Beach 5 min, MIA 20 min.

• Neighborhood: Situated at the nexus of the Art Deco District and urban South Beach.

World Class Amenities and Services

The building offers bespoke turnkey furniture packages from three different curated design themes, as well as a premium fully custom interior option by Yodezeen. Residents benefit from private elevators that connect all levels from the garage to the rooftop ensuring a seamless transition through the vertical space. Practical luxury is ensured with climate-controlled two-car garages, high-efficiency smart home pre-wiring, and upgraded plumbing and lighting finish packages available for purchase.

Pricing and Investment Potential

Villa 17 is positioned as a premier boutique offering, reflecting the extreme scarcity of new townhome construction in South Beach. Pricing begins at approximately 2.95 million, with an average price per square foot ranging from 1,100 to 1,350. The investment thesis is supported by a significant supply gap in the market for new, large-scale family residences in the 3M to 5M range, a segment often underserved by high-rise developments.

Historically, Kobi Karp-designed projects in Miami Beach have achieved significant capital appreciation. Villa 17 is projected to follow this trajectory, offering a compelling opportunity for capital preservation and growth. The deposit structure allows buyers to capture equity growth throughout the construction cycle as the building moves toward its estimated late 2026/early 2027 delivery.
