Rosewood Residences at The Raleigh

About the Project

Few addresses in American luxury carry the weight of the Raleigh. When L. Murray Dixon — the most prolific architect of the South Beach Art Deco movement — completed the hotel at 1775 Collins Avenue in 1940, he produced something that transcended its moment: a curvaceous, fleur-de-lis-shaped pool set beneath swaying palms that Life magazine would soon crown the most beautiful pool in America. In the golden decades that followed, the Raleigh became the preferred stage for Hollywood's brightest luminaries. Esther Williams glided through its famous waters, Desi Arnaz played the bandstand, and Karl Lagerfeld later chose its grounds to debut a Chanel cruise collection. The hotel embodied a particular strain of glamour — sun-drenched, effortless, and deeply cinematic — that South Beach has never quite replicated elsewhere on its storied mile.

The Raleigh's reincarnation as a Rosewood property is the most ambitious chapter yet in that storied history. The three-acre oceanfront estate, encompassing the original Raleigh, Richmond, and South Seas Art Deco facades along 220 feet of Atlantic beachfront, is being restored, reimagined, and expanded into one of the most complex luxury developments ever undertaken on Miami Beach. A new 17-story residential tower will rise directly beside the historic structures, joined by a 60-room Rosewood boutique hotel and a private members club whose beach programming will be operated by Langosteria — the celebrated Milan-based restaurant group making its first entry into the United States market. The total project value exceeds 50 million. In October 2025, New York-based private equity firm Nahla Capital acquired the development for 70 million, bringing deep hospitality credentials from their completion of Rosewood Residences Beverly Hills and signaling renewed momentum toward a projected 2028 delivery. Kobi Karp Architecture & Interior Design, a firm with deep roots in Miami Beach's preservation and luxury new-construction landscape, serves as architect of record for the full restoration and new tower.

The residential tower itself is a study in contemporary restraint set against the exuberance of the Art Deco backdrop. Rising 17 stories from the sand — just one hundred feet from the ocean's edge — the building houses 44 private residences configured as two- to five-bedroom homes, alongside a collection of eight penthouses that stretch from 4,564 square feet to more than 13,000 square feet. The architecture establishes a quiet dialogue with its historic neighbors: clean horizontal lines and a refined material palette that honors the neighborhood without mimicking it. Pricing begins at approximately million for two-bedroom residences, with three-bedroom homes starting at 0 million, four-bedroom residences from 8 million, and penthouses beginning at 5 million. The collection culminates in a grand penthouse offered at approximately 50 million, one of the highest-priced single residences ever brought to market in South Florida, reflective of both its proportions and its position at the apex of a singular address.

The interiors of the residences draw on a calm, rigorously crafted material vocabulary: artisan plasters, hand-painted millwork, and noble stones selected for texture and depth, each applied with the kind of meticulous detailing that elevates daily living into sensory experience. This design approach was originally conceived by Peter Marino — the New York-based starchitect whose practice, founded in 1978, has shaped the physical identity of virtually every major luxury fashion house on earth — before Marino's departure from the project. His foundational aesthetic language, centered on the integration of bespoke art, natural materials, and architecture as a unified discipline, continues to inform the residences' sensibility. Every home is positioned to capture unobstructed Atlantic panoramas, and the floor-to-ceiling glazing throughout ensures that the ocean remains a constant, living presence in the daily rhythm of each residence.

Rosewood Hotels & Resorts, the brand that lends its name and service culture to this project, was born in Dallas in 1979 when Caroline Rose Hunt — daughter of oil magnate H. L. Hunt — transformed a historic Texas mansion into The Mansion on Turtle Creek, introducing a new standard of residential-style luxury hospitality to American travel. The brand's guiding philosophy, A Sense of Place, holds that each property should be an authentic expression of its specific location, culture, and history — a principle that makes The Raleigh a near-perfect embodiment of the Rosewood ideal. Today, under the ownership of Hong Kong's New World Development, Rosewood operates 59 hotels across 26 countries, including The Carlyle in New York, the Hotel de Crillon in Paris, and Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek. The Raleigh joins that canon as the brand's signature Miami Beach address, with Rosewood's full luxury hospitality infrastructure — butlers, bespoke programming, and its internationally recognized Asaya wellness platform — extended to all residential owners as a matter of course.

The amenity offering at The Raleigh spans the full three-acre estate and is organized around the understanding that residents are not purchasing an apartment but rather a stake in one of the most storied beachfront addresses in the world. Four swimming pools, including the restored historic fleur-de-lis pool that first made the property famous, are woven through the grounds. A 4,000-square-foot spa, a state-of-the-art fitness center with soaring ceiling heights, and a dedicated children's playroom anchor the wellness and family programming. The Langosteria beach club delivers the group's signature Italian coastal cuisine and cabana service directly to the sand, while a Martini Bar and rooftop pool and lounge complete the social infrastructure. Private porte-cochere arrival, 24-hour concierge service, and a dedicated residential team ensure that the frictionless quality of Rosewood's hotel hospitality is preserved in every interaction. For those drawn to South Beach not merely as a place to live but as a place to inhabit fully, The Raleigh represents a proposition that the beach has simply never offered before.
