The world's first ELLE-branded residences, delivered fully furnished in Edgewater
ELLE Residences Miami is the first residential building in the world to carry the ELLE name, the eight-decade French fashion and lifestyle brand owned by Hachette Filipacchi Presse and licensed through the Lagardère Group. Architecture is by Behar Font & Partners, with interiors by The One Atelier and landscape by L&ND Design, on NE 5th Avenue in Edgewater — the geographic centre of Miami's Biscayne corridor.
The building rises 26 storeys and holds 189 residences of one and two bedrooms, ranging from 450 to 845 square feet, with top-floor Grande Suites carrying 11-foot ceilings. Every residence is delivered prêt-à-vivre — fully finished and fully furnished, with Miele kitchens, imported Italkraft Italian cabinetry, quartz countertops, French-inspired chevron wood flooring and floor-to-ceiling impact glass. Amenities occupy two dedicated levels and a rooftop, and interiors are drawn directly from the visual language of ELLE Décor: mid-century modern lines, contemporary French chic and a measured note of tropical Miami.
Edgewater places the building within minutes of the Miami Design District, Wynwood, Downtown Miami and the Arts & Entertainment district, with a direct causeway line to Miami Beach from the end of the street. These are not marketing adjacencies — they are the cultural and retail cores of the city, already built and operating.
This is not simply a furnished condominium in Edgewater. It is the global debut of a media brand with a reach of 250 million into permanent residential form.
Life here is editorial rather than ornamental — a home composed the way ELLE Décor composes a page. Floor-to-ceiling impact windows draw the Biscayne skyline and water into every residence, high ceilings lift the volume of compact floor plates, and chevron flooring gives even a one-bedroom the rhythm of a designed interior rather than a delivered box.
The One Atelier's intent was restraint: mid-century silhouettes, French-chic proportion and a tropical palette that never tips into theme. What the studio chose not to do — heavy finishes, competing patterns, over-styling — is as evident as what it did. The result reads as a curated apartment on the day the keys are handed over, furniture and styling included.
The building's argument is consistency: the same design intelligence that shapes the residence shapes the pool deck, the spa and the rooftop.
ELLE Residences occupies a positioning gap that is structurally difficult to reproduce. Branded residences are now common in Miami; a residence branded by a global fashion-and-lifestyle title, delivered fully furnished, at an entry point below one million dollars, is not.
First, the brand is singular: this is the only ELLE-branded building in existence, a global debut rather than a repeat licence. Second, the product is turnkey — furnished, styled and rentable from day one, which collapses the gap between closing and income. Third, the location is already mature: the Design District, Wynwood and Downtown are built and operating, not promised. Fourth, the price sits well beneath comparable branded product in Miami, widening the buyer pool rather than narrowing it.
This is not simply a branded address. It is the first opportunity to own a piece of ELLE's residential expansion at its origin.
The investment thesis rests on structural positioning rather than projected yield. Edgewater is a supply-constrained waterfront neighbourhood at Miami's centre, and branded, fully furnished stock commands a premium in both the sale and short-let markets because it removes the two frictions international buyers dislike most — furnishing and management.
ELLE Residences is built for that reality: owners may use flexible rental platforms or a fully managed rental program, and the turnkey, branded product is positioned for the design-led traveller Miami already attracts. The residences are also structured to support the EB-5 immigrant investor pathway for qualifying purchasers. Competing branded inventory in the immediate Edgewater corridor is limited, and the barrier to future waterfront supply — land scarcity at this position — is unlikely to ease.
No specific return projections are implied.
Residences are sold as freehold branded condominiums, delivered fully furnished and turnkey, with title conveyed at closing. Ownership includes membership in the condominium association that governs the amenity levels, rooftop and building services and funds their upkeep. For qualifying international buyers, the purchase is structured to support the EB-5 immigrant investor pathway, and the staged payment plan spreads commitment across construction: 20% at contract, 10% at groundbreaking, 10% at 90 days or the amenity floor, 10% at top-off and 50% at closing.
The ELLE partnership is integrated rather than cosmetic. The brand is expressed through The One Atelier's interiors, Arquinaut's role as global branded-real-estate representative, and ELLE's own 360-degree lifestyle apparatus of media, hospitality and retail — not a name applied to a finished building. It is a design-through-lifestyle collaboration rather than a superficial licensing arrangement.
Private previews are arranged through the sales gallery in the Miami Design District. Detailed floor plans, pricing schedules, furnishing specifications, the payment plan and current availability are available upon request.
Edgewater is the pivot point of the Magic City — a compact, increasingly residential neighbourhood on Biscayne Bay that sits within minutes of nearly everything Miami is known for. It draws buyers who want the culture, dining and design of the city without committing to the density of Downtown or the remove of the beach, and its waterfront edge and central position have made it one of the corridor's most sought-after addresses.
What holds it together is balance: bayfront parks and the Baywalk on one side, the galleries and flagship boutiques of the Design District on the other, and a growing layer of restaurants, cafes and co-working space in between. It is walkable, connected by Metromover and causeway, and central in a way few Miami neighbourhoods manage to be.
It is the first residential building in the world to carry the ELLE name, the French fashion and lifestyle brand owned by Hachette Filipacchi Presse and licensed through the Lagardère Group. Unlike hotel- or automotive-branded towers, ELLE Residences translates a 360-degree media and design brand into a home, with interiors by The One Atelier drawn from the language of ELLE Décor. Every residence is delivered fully furnished. As the single global debut of the brand, it has no equivalent elsewhere.
Edgewater sits at the geographic centre of Miami's Biscayne corridor, within about five minutes of both the Miami Design District and Wynwood, roughly ten minutes from Downtown, and about fifteen minutes from Miami Beach and the international airport. It is a waterfront neighbourhood with limited developable land, which supports long-term value. Residents are close to the city's cultural and retail cores while remaining on the bay rather than in the density of Downtown.
It suits buyers who want a design-led, fully furnished home in central Miami without the work of furnishing or managing it — international purchasers, pied-à-terre owners and investors alike. One- and two-bedroom layouts from 450 to 845 square feet, delivered turnkey, appeal to those buying a lifestyle rather than a construction project. The sub-$1M entry point widens the audience relative to most branded product in the city.
Residences are sold as freehold branded condominiums, off-plan, with anticipated delivery in the first quarter of 2028. The payment plan is staged: 20% at contract, 10% at groundbreaking, 10% at 90 days or the amenity floor, 10% at top-off and 50% at closing. The residences are also structured to support the EB-5 immigrant investor pathway for qualifying buyers. Full documentation is available on request.
Yes. Because each home is delivered fully furnished and styled, owners can generate income immediately, using flexible rental platforms or a fully managed rental program offered at the building. This turnkey, branded positioning targets the design-led traveller Miami already attracts and removes the furnishing and management friction that international owners typically face. No specific return projections are implied.
Architecture is by Behar Font & Partners, interiors by The One Atelier and landscape by L&ND Design, with Arquinaut acting as ELLE Residences' global branded-real-estate representative. Residences are sold as freehold branded condominiums, delivered fully furnished and managed to ELLE brand service standards, so design and service consistency hold as the building matures. For qualifying international buyers, the purchase is structured to support the EB-5 immigrant investor pathway, with a staged payment plan running from contract through closing.
ELLE is a 360-degree lifestyle brand with a global reach of roughly 250 million, extending across media, cafés, salons, retail, hospitality and cultural events, and this is its first residential expression worldwide. Ownership therefore connects to an established brand ecosystem rather than a single-asset licence, which supports both recognition and resale narrative over time. The residences are managed to brand service standards and delivered fully furnished by The One Atelier, protecting design consistency as the building ages. As the debut of a globally recognised name in a supply-constrained waterfront neighbourhood, the combination is difficult to replicate.
