Shore Club Private Collection Secures $430 Million Construction Loan

July 24, 2023

Shore Club Private Collection, which is expected to be one of the fastest-selling luxury complexes in Miami Beach history, has closed on a $430 million construction financing from Witkoff Group, a Miami-based development and investment company, and Monroe Capital, a renowned asset management company.

The loan, which was provided by J.P. Morgan, is thought to be the biggest ever for a South Florida residential building project. Since its late January debut, sales have surpassed $550 million, and two-thirds of the inventory has been sold. As a result, Shore Club is prepared to start building later this year, with a 2026 completion date anticipated.

Shore Club Private Collection will house 49 houses created by the renowned New York-based firm Robert A.M. Stern Architects, building on the rich legacy of Miami Beach’s Art Deco and contemporary design style while also fostering a seamless link to its landmark site. Some of New York City’s most well-known structures were designed by this architect, including 15 Central Park West and 220 Central Park South. The three acres of coastal land where Shore Club will be located will have magnificent botanical gardens created by renowned landscape designer Nathan Browning of Island Planning Corporation.

The development, which features a brand-new structure from the ground up, The Tower, a recently renovated Art Deco structure that was first finished in 1939, The Cromwell House, and The Beach House, a distinctive single-family beach house, is Robert A.M. Stern’s first residential oceanfront project. In order to offer a product that is unique to the Miami market, each component was designed to maximize views and light in conjunction with the curve of each property. The interiors expand on this concept by drawing design cues from yachts as well as the patterns and motion of the waves and sand along Miami’s shoreline. On the architecture, RAMSA worked with Miami-based Kobi Karp Architecture & Interior Design.

The 20-story Tower offers two- to six-bedroom homes with floor-to-ceiling windows, artistically curving balconies, and sizes ranging from 1,900 to more than 10,000 square feet. The Tower offers breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean and sunsets, along with private and semi-private elevators and private terraces. The eight-story ancient Cromwell House will be renovated into four opulent homes, three of which will be duplexes, along with a penthouse. These four and five-bedroom residences will have a spacious full-floor penthouse as well as two-story great areas with spectacular double-height ceilings. The Beach House, which will measure 6,000 square feet with three outdoor spaces totaling more than 2,180 square feet, will be the sole private residence on Miami Beach’s oceanfront.

Together with Auberge Resorts Collection, we have a shared vision for reinventing the Shore Club Private Collection. Even though they are part of a five-star resort, the homes will offer solitude and seclusion while being maintained by Auberge. A discrete porte cochere entrance, three distinct swimming pools, including a private residential pool, a 75-foot lap pool, a leisure pool, a state-of-the-art fitness facility, a library, a lounge, and other amenities are among the unique services and amenities available to residents.

In addition to access to the world-class spa, concierge services, housekeeping, beach club, and culinary experiences, such as in-residence dining, house sommelier services, a signature restaurant, poolside café and bar with dedicated cabana service, double-height café and bar leading to an outdoor lounge, and more, Auberge Resorts Collection’s one-of-a-kind reputation for intimate tailored service will also extend to the residences with a variety of in-home offerings.

The starting price for Shore Club Private Collection is $6 million.
