First-Ever Residential Tower Blends High Fashion with Luxury Living
South Florida is practically bursting with luxury real estate developments, and ELLE (ELLE DECOR’s sister publication, also a licensee of Lagardère Group) is joining the party. The leading fashion and lifestyle media brand announced plans to put its mark on the world beyond the glossy page in the form of a 25-story, 180-unit residential tower in Miami’s Edgewater neighborhood.
While the development’s projected completion date is still under wraps, this much is for certain: ELLE has tapped top talent to ensure that its first foray into the world of real estate is infused with class, livability, and a certain Parisian je ne sais quoi. The One Atelier, a branded real estate powerhouse that has collaborated with brands from Fendi to Karl Lagerfeld, will be in charge of interiors at ELLE Residences Miami. Gregory Martínez de Riquelme and Roberto Saija, from the architecture and design studio Arquinaut, have also chipped in to ensure the smooth confluence of Miami’s environment and ELLE’s stylish sensibilities. The building’s design itself—all reflective surfaces and glossy wraparound terraces—was spearheaded by Behar, Font, and Partners.

It doesn’t hurt that the high-rise’s location—at 3618 NE 5th Avenue—is within a few minutes’ walk of the famed Miami Design District. The latter’s assortment of high-end boutiques, showrooms, and restaurants is only bound to intensify the ELLE project’s aura of luxury.
“This project will represent a groundbreaking concept, offering captivating gateways for owners and residents to experience condo living through a fresh lens and the visionary perspective of ELLE,” says Constance Benqué, CEO of ELLE International and Lagardère News.
Future ELLE Residences Miami owners are in for a treat and a half with the anticipated amenities package—including a high-tech gym, fitness lawn, pool, outdoor movie theater, and gourmet summer kitchen—spanning two whole floors. There will even be a steam room, sauna, and cold plunge, perfect for a quick workout recovery or after catching some rays on the building’s French Riviera–inspired sundeck.
All this glitz and glamour comes with a price tag: Residences, ranging from studios to two bedrooms (there are penthouse options as well, in case you were wondering), will start at $525,000. But in the case of the ELLE Residences Miami—with dreamy Biscayne Bay views and tasteful, ELLE DECOR–approved interiors—money can indeed buy you taste.
