ELLE Residences Miami

Executive Overview

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.

Living Experience

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.

• Grand double-height lobby with 24-hour concierge, security and valet
• Fourth-floor Terrasse: resort pool, private cabanas, summer kitchen, outdoor cinema, shuffleboard and bocce
• Wellness floor: gym with branded fitness programming, yoga and meditation lawn, soaking spa, cold plunge, sauna, steam and salt wall
• Sommet rooftop: Sky Pool with north, east and west exposure, sundeck and the Maison Club library, listening room and bar
• Café and restaurant, boutique retail, house bicycles and package room at ground level
• Miele kitchens, Italkraft cabinetry, quartz counters, brass fixtures, smart climate control and in-home washer/dryer

The building's argument is consistency: the same design intelligence that shapes the residence shapes the pool deck, the spa and the rooftop.

Unique Value Proposition

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.

• The world's first and only ELLE Residences
• Fully furnished delivery, ready to occupy or lease
• Central Edgewater position between the Design District, Wynwood and the water
• Branded ownership at a sub-$1M entry point

This is not simply a branded address. It is the first opportunity to own a piece of ELLE's residential expansion at its origin.

Investment Perspective

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.

Ownership & Structure

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 Access

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.
