Terra Partners with Jean-Georges Vongerichten for His First Residential Project: Jean-Georges Miami Tropic Residences
In an exciting new venture, Terra and co-developer Lion Development Group have announced the launch of sales for Jean-Georges Miami Tropic Residences, located at 3501 NE 1st Avenue in Miami’s vibrant Design District. This project marks the Michelin-starred chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s entry into the residential real estate sector, making it his first luxury residential offering. With architecture by Arquitectonica and interiors by renowned design studio Yabu Pushelberg, the 48-story tower will bring a mix of luxury living, world-class culinary experiences, and a bold design aesthetic to the heart of Miami. Sales will be exclusively handled by Douglas Elliman.
The Jean-Georges Miami Tropic Residences will offer 329 condominium residences along with 27,500 square feet of retail on the ground floor, featuring a blend of Jean-Georges' popular restaurant concepts. Residents will enjoy unparalleled access to luxury dining with the building’s ground-floor restaurant, abc kitchens—a blend of abcV, abc cocina, and abc kitchen—delivering plant-forward and Latin-infused culinary experiences.
Beyond dining, the building offers an extraordinary array of over 41,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor amenities, including wellness spaces, entertainment rooms, and thoughtfully designed gathering areas. From a podcast recording studio to private dining rooms and chef’s kitchens, the building brings together hospitality-driven services with resort-style leisure options. The rooftop features an additional private dining room and bar, perfect for entertaining, while the outdoor pool with private cabanas, landscaped gardens, and an outdoor kitchen provides a luxurious setting for relaxation.
Designed by Yabu Pushelberg, the interiors are inspired by Miami’s lush tropical environment and the city’s vibrant cultural scene. The renowned design duo, who have a portfolio that includes Aman Residences in Tokyo and Edition Hotels globally, previously worked with Jean-Georges on The Fulton in New York. For Miami Tropic, their design integrates natural materials, shades of green, and sophisticated textures that balance the vibrancy of the Design District with the tranquility of tropical greenery.
Each residence features floor-to-ceiling windows, providing panoramic views and a seamless connection to the city. Two distinct kitchen designs reflect Miami’s natural beauty—“dawn” and “dusk”—with warm, inviting palettes crafted to enhance the culinary experience, a tribute to Jean-Georges’ own involvement in the design process.
The tower’s modern glass façade is punctuated by lush landscaping, creating a seamless transition between the natural and urban environments. The architecture, designed by Arquitectonica, is sustainably minded, achieving Florida Green Building Design Silver Certification. From bold structural design to eco-conscious details, Jean-Georges Miami Tropic Residences embodies both luxury and responsibility.
Situated in the heart of the Design District, residents will enjoy walkable access to Miami’s top luxury retail, art galleries, and cultural experiences. The district is home to renowned sculptures and architectural works, such as the Sol LeWitt Sculpture Garden and Fly’s Eye Dome, as well as cultural landmarks like the Institute of Contemporary Art. With Wynwood and Midtown just steps away, residents can immerse themselves in the vibrant lifestyle Miami is known for.
With sales officially launched, Jean-Georges Miami Tropic Residences promises to be one of the most coveted luxury residential offerings in Miami, delivering an unmatched blend of fine dining, wellness, and artful living in the heart of the city.
