Jean-Georges Miami Tropic Residences

About the Project

Positioned at the convergence of Miami’s Design District, Midtown, and Wynwood, Jean-Georges Miami Tropic Residences represents one of the most anticipated residential debuts in South Florida in years. Rising 49 stories at 3501 NE 1st Avenue, the tower brings together world-renowned chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten and developer Terra Group in what marks the Michelin-starred chef’s first foray into residential real estate. The result is a building conceived not merely as a place to live, but as a total lifestyle environment in which cuisine, design, wellness, and nature are woven into the fabric of everyday life. Sales launched in October 2024 under the exclusive stewardship of Douglas Elliman Development Marketing, and the project has already drawn notable early buyers including Formula 1 driver Pierre Gasly and Argentine polo champion Nacho Figueras.

The tower was designed by Arquitectonica, the Miami-rooted architecture firm whose work has defined the city’s skyline for decades. The building’s form draws its language from the tropics: continuous balconies cascade along the facade, vast floor-to-ceiling windows dissolve the boundary between interior and exterior, and inner courtyards channel light and air deep into the structure — the effect of a tower that breathes and responds to its equatorial climate rather than imposing upon it. Interiors were entrusted to Yabu Pushelberg, the globally acclaimed Canadian studio, who translated Miami’s lush botanical character into two distinct residential palettes — Dawn and Dusk — using verdant greens, shimmering blues, natural woods, and diabase stone. The building is designed to achieve Florida Green Building Design Silver Certification, adding a layer of environmental rigor to its aesthetic ambition.

Across its 338 residences, the tower offers configurations ranging from one-bedroom homes to expansive four-bedroom apartments and a dedicated penthouse collection on the uppermost floors, with combined interior and exterior square footages stretching from 852 to 8,892 square feet. Residential kitchens are a centerpiece of each unit, outfitted with Jean-Georges-branded cabinetry, expansive islands conceived as the social heart of the home, and natural stone countertops. Italian millwork, premium appliance suites, and the signature Yabu Pushelberg material palette carry throughout, ensuring the private residence is as considered as the public amenity spaces below. Panoramic views of Biscayne Bay, the Miami Design District, and the Downtown skyline are available from nearly every elevation, framed by the tower’s generous glazing and deep terrace overhangs.

The amenity program spans more than 41,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor space and places Jean-Georges’s culinary vision at its center. At street level, 27,500 square feet of ground-floor retail houses a 10,000-square-foot outpost of the chef’s celebrated ABC Kitchens concept — a trilogy of dining rooms encompassing abc kitchen, the farm-to-table original; abc cocina, its Latin-inflected counterpart; and abcV, the plant-forward fine-dining room that earned a Michelin star in New York. Residents also enjoy a private rooftop dining room and bar, curated culinary events, personalized in-residence catering, and a pantry stocking service — creating a seamless extension of Jean-Georges’s hospitality into the domestic sphere. The wellness offering is equally comprehensive: a full spa with treatment rooms, cold plunge pools, sauna, and steam room; a juice bar and salon; a resort-style pool deck with private cabanas at Level 8; and a second rooftop pool deck at Level 49. Recreational amenities include a squash court, golf simulator, game room, ping pong tables, podcast recording studio, co-working lounges, sculpture garden, art gallery, landscaped interior courtyards, and an outdoor amphitheater.

Jean-Georges Miami Tropic Residences is a collaboration between two developer partners with deep Miami roots and a shared appetite for transformative projects. Terra Group, led by CEO David Martin, has built a reputation in South Florida for design-forward mixed-use developments that engage seriously with architecture, sustainability, and community context. Lion Development Group, led by CEO Michael Simkins, brings complementary expertise in luxury residential programming and sales strategy. Together they have assembled a development team — Arquitectonica, Yabu Pushelberg, Douglas Elliman — that reflects an uncompromising standard of execution. The project’s address at 3501 NE 1st Avenue places it squarely at the nexus of three of Miami’s most culturally dynamic neighborhoods, within walking distance of the galleries and haute couture boutiques of the Design District and the street art and independent restaurants of Wynwood.

For buyers, Jean-Georges Miami Tropic Residences offers a rare convergence of attributes: an address in one of Miami’s most compelling urban corridors, architecture by one of the country’s most celebrated firms, interiors by a globally recognized studio, and a culinary and wellness program that would be remarkable in a standalone hospitality property, let alone a private residence. Priced from $914,000 for one-bedroom homes through to multi-million-dollar four-bedroom residences and penthouse collections, the tower speaks to a broad spectrum of luxury buyers — from pied-à-terre seekers drawn by the Jean-Georges brand to primary-residence buyers in search of an architecturally significant home in the heart of new Miami. Completion is anticipated in 2028.
