Mere steps from world-famous Bal Harbor Shops and located directly on the ocean, the highly-anticipated Fendi Château Residences will be the first residential collaboration between the celebrated luxury design house and distinguished private developer Château Group. The venture is a milestone for Fendi as it marks their first branded real estate project globally and a new concept that offers its discerning clientele a unique lifestyle experience that goes beyond all others with exclusive white-glove service. “Both Fendi and Château Group share an unwavering passion for producing high-quality products with an acute focus on design and creativity,” says Monica Venegas, Principal of Venegas International Group, exclusive Sales & Marketing firm for Fendi Château Residences.

“Both Fendi and Château Group share an unwavering passion for producing high-quality products with an acute focus on design and creativity.”

The project’s scope is so impacting, in fact, it aims to raise the bar for residential options in the area. “Characterized by architectural curves that echo the ocean waves, Fendi Château Residences feature waterfront units with breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean,” says Manuel Grosskopf, Chairman & CEO of Château Group. “The residences and deluxe amenities combine function along with Fendi style on an elegant level for the first time.”
The award-winning international architectural firm Arquitectonica, has envisioned a 12-story building that grows organically out of its natural surroundings with 58 flow-through residences. With 300 linear feet of pristine sandy beaches and lavish gardens with idyllic reflecting pools on-site, the property features two swimming pools with poolside cabanas, an outdoor jacuzzi and a gazebo with a fully-equipped summer kitchen. Five-star amenities in this private, low-density building include a restaurant with pool and beachside service, a chef’s kitchen for personal dining, owners’ wine cellars, a spa, screening room, business center, kids’ club and a lobby lounge. Adding to the ultimate services, each Fendi Château unit owner also gets access to the elite Luxury Attaché for concierge services globally.
The condo interiors with 10-foot ceilings boast Fendi features with distinctive materials like streaked woods, smoky glass and bronzed reflections. Each unit includes a complete Fendi Casa chef’s kitchen and cabinets with state-of-the-art Gaggenau appliances. The Italian marble bathrooms have custom-designed fixtures. In addition, the 3 two-story penthouses each come with their own rooftop pool. The 58 flow-through residences and penthouses in this exclusive waterfront condominium range in size from 3,300 sq. ft. to over 7,000 sq. ft., and are priced from $6 million to $25 million.

The marketplace was just waiting for Fendi Château Residences. Demand is high for this first and only Fendi-branded residential building in the world. “Fendi Château Residences is attracting a balance of both domestic and international buyers,” says Grosskopf. “We’re seeing buyers from the Northeast and Midwest, Canada, London, Russia and Latin America who are looking to live in our luxury designer development.”
Venegas adds there’s plenty to admire about Fendi Château Residences. “Sales are averaging approximately $1,900 per sq. ft., proving there’s a continued buyer appetite for a luxury residential option that offers both quality and style along with world-class white-glove service,” she says.
From Fendi’s first boutique established in Rome in 1925 to this Fendi collaboration in South Florida, which is timed for completion in Spring 2016, this haute designer label has come a long way. And future owners of Fendi Château Residences will reap the benefits. “Fendi Château Residences further consolidate our ties in the luxury private property sector, in particular with a qualitative partner like Château Group,” says Pietro Beccari, Chairman & CEO of Fendi. “It fully expresses the codes, history and savoir-faire that characterize Fendi — a perfect example of cutting-edge design, experimentation and timeless expertise.”
