Thinking about Miami…? I had the honor of attending an intimate luncheon at the new ABC Kitchen in DUMBO, hosted by chef Jean‑Georges Vongerichten and developer David Martin. The occasion? A first look at Miami Tropic Residences—and trust me, this is one of the most exciting new developments coming to South Florida. I’ve admired Jean‑Georges’ culinary brilliance in New York City for years, but seeing his next chapter unfold in the realm of real estate was something else entirely.
This isn’t just another branded building—it’s a full‑sensory lifestyle curated by one of the greatest chefs in the world. The way he envisions home, hospitality, and dining as one seamless experience is both bold and beautiful.
The Art of Living Well
At Miami Tropic, the amenities programme isn’t optional—it defines the living experience. Picture your own escape above the skyline: a panoramic pool on level 49, full wellness level with cold plunge, steam rooms, infrared saunas, squash court, art‑gallery spaces, podcast studio, and co‑working lounges. Jean‑Georges brings signature dining into the tower—making your residence feel like the finest restaurant in the city.
Developed by TERRA and Lion Development Group, with architecture by Arquitectonica and interiors by the ever‑inspiring Yabu Pushelberg, Miami Tropic is a 49‑story tower designed to mirror Miami’s lush natural surroundings. Think expansive layouts, soft earthy tones, and interiors that invite you to slow down and savour every moment—whether you’re entertaining or simply watching the sunset from your terrace.
Jean‑Georges
Jean‑Georges is more than a name on the marquee—his involvement elevates everything. His team will handle in‑residence dining, pantry‑stocking, concierge food‑and‑beverage service, and private dining experiences tailored for residents. As someone who values design, experience, and detail, this project resonated deeply with me. It bridges cuisine, home, and lifestyle in a way that simply felt right.
Walk of the Town
Location matters—but connection matters more. Miami Tropic is perfectly positioned where Midtown meets the Design District—a global hotspot of art, shopping, and design. Here, you don’t just walk the pulse—you are the pulse. Museums, galleries, public art—all steps away, yet when you return to your residence, you enter a sanctuary that matches the rhythm of your day.
