MIAMI – Developers Urban Network Capital Group (UNCG) and Vertical Developments celebrated the grand launch of ELLE Residences Miami – the first residential development in the world for the iconic media and lifestyle brand ELLE – with a stylish soirée in the Miami Design District. The evening brought together top brokers and development partners from around the globe, showcasing a lifestyle infused with joie de vivre (“joy of living”), and echoing the brand’s chic aesthetic and trendsetting influence.

City of Miami Mayor Francis Suarez joined UNCG CEO Robert Thorne, Vertical Developments CEO Fernando de Nuñez y Lugones, Fortune International Group President and CEO Edgardo Defortuna and ELLE International Media Licenses CEO Francois Coruzzi in welcoming guests and introducing the project’s elevated design, innovative interiors and unrivaled amenities. Also in attendance were ELLE’s real estate brand representatives Gregory Martínez de Riquelme and Roberto Saija of Arquinaut, as well as The One Atelier’s interior design team members Anna Masello, Manuel Zangirolami and Anna Lazovic. The architect for the project Robert Behar of Behar Font & Partners and landscape architect Matthew Lewis of L&ND were also part of the festivities. The event featured a fashion week inspired presentation, with styles facilitated by The Colonnade Outlets at Sawgrass Mills, where models recreated iconic looks from legendary ELLE Magazine covers in a captivating spectacle. Former Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover star and TV personality Elsa Benitez and model Carola Remer enhanced the glamour of the evening, which was complemented by curated cocktails, French hors d’oeuvres, champagne and caviar carts, and a custom ELLE photobooth.

“We are thrilled to celebrate the grand launch of ELLE Residences Miami,” said Thorne. “From the very beginning, we were inspired by ELLE’s legendary influence and unwavering commitment to innovation, style, diversity, empowerment and sustainability. It is an honor to bring such an iconic brand to Miami’s skyline and be part of ELLE’s evolving legacy.”

Rising 25 stories, ELLE Residences Miami will feature 180 turnkey residences that embody the brand’s Parisian roots. The interiors will showcase the bold and creative design of ELLE DECOR, combining a laid-back, effortless vibe with contemporary sophistication. Seamlessly combining high-touch service and resort-style amenities with the warmth of home, flexible rental capabilities will be offered, granting owners the freedom to make their residences available for short-term use. Priced from the $525,000s, floor plans range from 450 to 845 square feet with one or two bedrooms. A collection of penthouses is also offered. Fortune Development Sales is the exclusive brokerage representing the project.

“ELLE Residences Miami is more than just a building – it represents a new future of luxury living and the spirit of Miami’s continuous growth and innovation,” said Nuñez y Lugones. “The
overwhelming response to this project since its unveiling just a few short months ago, highlights not only the allure of the ELLE brand but also the appeal of owning a unique living experience in one of South Florida’s most desirable neighborhoods.”
