About The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Miami Beach

Completed in 2019, The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Miami Beach transformed the former Miami Heart Institute into a contemporary residential destination through an ambitious adaptive-reuse project.

Developer Lionheart Capital reports that the development achieved a total sellout value exceeding $550 million, reflecting the scale and significance of the original project.

Rather than a conventional hotel-and-residences tower, the property is a standalone Ritz-Carlton-branded residential community, where residents enjoy hospitality-inspired services in a private residential setting.

The defining characteristics include:

  • 111 luxury condominium residences and 15 standalone villas
  • Architecture and interior design by Piero Lissoni
  • Waterfront setting along Surprise Lake
  • Private marina and available boat dockage
  • Resort-style wellness and recreational amenities
  • Ritz-Carlton residential services and concierge
  • Established resale opportunities within Miami Beach

The community's appeal rests on an unusual combination of privacy, design, waterfront access, and the convenience of professionally serviced residential ownership.

Residences, Penthouses & Private Villas

The residential collection encompasses thoughtfully designed homes ranging from intimate one-bedroom configurations to expansive multi-bedroom residences, penthouses, and private villas.

Condominium Residences

The 111 condominium residences include a variety of floor plans, with layouts reaching five bedrooms.

Many residences feature expansive glazing, private outdoor terraces, sophisticated kitchens, natural stone finishes, and carefully considered living spaces that emphasize the relationship between architecture and the surrounding waterfront.

Interior features found throughout the development include Boffi kitchens, premium appliances, and custom architectural details designed to complement the minimalist aesthetic of Piero Lissoni.

Penthouse Residences

The penthouse collection offers larger floor plans, expansive private terraces, and elevated views of Miami Beach, surrounding waterways, and the Miami skyline.

Select residences feature private plunge pools and outdoor entertaining areas, creating an experience closer to that of a private estate.

Standalone Villas

The community's 15 villas provide a more residential alternative for purchasers seeking additional privacy and the character of a single-family home without sacrificing access to Ritz-Carlton services and amenities.

These homes are especially relevant to purchasers comparing Miami Beach waterfront estates with luxury condominium ownership.

The value of an individual residence depends on its layout, condition, water exposure, outdoor space, parking, and other property-specific characteristics.

Amenities & The Ritz Experience

One of the community's defining attributes is the integration of luxury residential amenities with Ritz-Carlton service.

Residents have access to a curated collection of spaces designed for recreation, entertaining, wellness, and everyday convenience.

Amenities include a landscaped rooftop swimming pool deck, private cabanas, poolside dining, a spa and fitness facilities, a club room, an art studio, and dedicated children's facilities.

The property also features a private marina, with 36 boat slips described in the project's published materials. Dockage rights, dimensions, availability, and transfer conditions must be verified for each transaction.

Personalized concierge assistance and residential hospitality services further distinguish the community from conventional luxury condominium buildings.

Location | Mid-Beach, Miami Beach

The Ritz-Carlton Residences occupies a waterfront address in Mid-Beach, one of Miami Beach's established luxury residential neighborhoods.

The community is situated near La Gorce Island, Miami Beach Golf Club, and the oceanfront neighborhoods of Mid-Beach, with access to dining, shopping, and cultural destinations throughout Miami Beach and the greater Miami area.

Unlike oceanfront towers directly overlooking the Atlantic, The Ritz-Carlton Residences is positioned on Surprise Lake, offering a different waterfront environment characterized by marina access, views across the water, and proximity to established residential neighborhoods.

For buyers evaluating Miami Beach real estate, this location provides a distinctive balance between waterfront living, residential privacy, and access to the broader city.
