SUNNY ISLES BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jade Signature, Miami’s most architecturally extraordinary oceanfront address, has won three USA/Americas Property Awards in the 2018-2019 International Property Awards competition.
The Sunny Isles Beach icon -- created by Pritzker Prize-winning firm Herzog & de Meuron and developed under the leadership of husband-and-wife team Edgardo and Ana Cristina Defortuna of Fortune International Group -- secured victories in the “Residential High-Rise Architecture - Florida,” “Residential High-Rise Development - Florida,” and “Residential Interior Private Residence - Florida” categories.
A world-renowned mark of excellence, the International Property Awards celebrate the highest levels of achievement by companies operating in all sectors of the property and real estate industry – from architecture and development to interior design. The awards are split into regions covering Africa, Asia Pacific, Arabia, Canada, Caribbean, Central & South America, Europe, UK and USA. Participants enter at their relevant national level and are judged by a highly experienced team of professionals who cover the whole range of property disciplines. The USA/Americas Property Awards are considered to be the largest, most prestigious, and widely recognized program in the region.
“This is a tremendous feat and a humbling honor,” said Edgardo Defortuna, President and CEO of Fortune International Group. “Jade Signature was a dream for many years, and in the wake of its completion, it has become a major point of pride for our company as well as our clients and supporters worldwide. To have Jade Signature recognized on a global stage by such a prestigious organization further underscores the splendor and ingenuity of the tower’s design.”
Principals with Fortune International Group will be presented with their awards at the The Toronto Marriott Downtown Eaton Centre Hotel on Sept. 20 during a special event sponsored by Salice. The top winners in each region will automatically be entered into the overall international awards contest, culminating in a glittering awards ceremony on Dec. 3 at the Savoy Hotel in London.
As highlighted by this latest trio of victories, Jade Signature -- which has been lauded in the press, singled-out by international journalists and architecture and design critics alike -- epitomizes ultra-luxe living and a keen attention to artful detail. From the porte cochère to the tower’s unmistakable silhouette, each architectural aspect is mindful of residents and their day-to-day experience within the space, as well as the property’s adjacency to the natural environment.
Interiors by PYR, led by Pierre-Yves Rochon in Paris, are works of art in and of themselves, while landscaping by Raymond Jungles has transformed the property into a beachside oasis -- complete with a 60+-foot-tall kapok tree. Resort-style features are hallmarks of the building, including a stunning beachfront deck with an organic, zero entry free-form swimming pool, secluded cabanas, a heated spa surrounded by nature, and a 25-meter lap pool. Private beach amenities include chaise lounges, umbrellas and an oceanfront restaurant with towel and beach service. Additional property amenities and services include a 100% natural Tata Harper Spa, state-of-the-art fitness center, library and reading lounge, wine bar, clubroom, entertainment and game lounge, business center, playroom and tech lounge for children and teens, full-service concierge, private elevator entrances, and smart technology throughout.
Nearly sold out, Jade Signature has a limited assemblage of residences remaining among the tower’s most luxurious units. Known as “The Collection,” the portfolio is a compilation of two-story Sky Villas and penthouses, ranging from $14.3 million to $32.9 million. The Sky Villas offer stunning features, such as flow-through views, expansive terraces, private elevators, smart technology, service quarters and PYR-designed bathroom cabinetry. The two full-floor penthouses boast all of these world-class features as well as a private pool, gym and 360-degree views of the Atlantic Ocean, Intracoastal Water and the Miami skyline. Additional offerings include three- to five-bedroom residences, with sizes starting at 3,312 square feet and prices starting at $3.99 million.
