Luxury development firm Lionheart Capital is redefining Miami modern living with Miami Beach’s newest luxury residential development, The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Miami Beach. Located on seven acres in a quiet corner of Miami Beach on the shores of Surprise Lake and designed by renowned Italian architect and designer, Piero Lissoni, The Residences will bring together for the first time Lissoni’s modernist vision with the legendary service of The Ritz-Carlton.

“The Residences is set in a tranquil residential community comprised of mostly single-family homes,” says Ophir Sternberg. “The modern and elegant design will create a quiet waterfront oasis, a development unlike any other that will change the Miami Beach skyline and how we look at luxury living.” The Residences, Lissoni’s first stateside architectural project, is being completed with award-winning Miami architecture firm ADD Inc.

Homes will be equipped with Lissoni-designed Boffi kitchens, oversized stone countertops and Gaggenau appliances, along with equally impressive Boffi bathrooms, complete with Dornbracht fixtures. Every residence will be wired for smart-home technology and many will include private elevator foyers, sprawling terraces, summer kitchens and plunge pools.Residents will have access to a collection of amenities including a waterfront social room with a bar, catering kitchen and entertainment system; tropically-landscaped half-acre, roof-top pool deck, an infinity-edge pool with waterfall, cabanas, whirlpool spa and Grille Restaurant; a club room with a bar, virtual golf and billiards table; a cinema-quality screening room, a library/board room, a game room and a kids room.
