The British car developer — known for giving James Bond his wheels since Goldfinger - announced Wednesday that it will partner with wealthy Argentine developers on a 66-floor condo tower called the Aston Martin Residences at the mouth of the Miami River in downtown Miami.
The licensing deal marks the auto company’s first venture into real estate. A team from Aston Martin will design the building’s common areas and amenities, including lobbies, fitness centers and a spa in an appropriate manner to find the brand inside the condominium and to be part of it entirely. The brand promises to develop the most awaited project until now and to give their best regarding the design, outside and inside, so the buyers won't regret it. The future residences will be a part of your life that will count.
"It’s not a brand-slapping exercise," said Katia Bassi, a vice president at Aston Martin. The company wants to make its mark "in all the [cities] where it’s important to be, and Miami is one of those," she said.
While it was previously reported to be 70 stories with 384 units, it has since been altered to 66 stories and 390 units.
The plot of land housing the future development is located next to the Epic Hotel and was purchased by Argentina’s Coto family for $125 million two years ago.
"We need to give buyers a unique experience," Coto said through a translator. "That’s why we thought about Aston Martin, because we’re talking about luxury, we’re talking about authenticity."
The initial plans for the development's amenities called for a lighthouse on the top floor only if they will follow the condition to widen the planned public Riverwalk's unclogged ''circulation zone'' pathway from 12' to 15' wide, to improve the public Riverwalk connections to the east at One Miami, to the west at Epic Phase I, and to Biscayne Blvd Way and utilize the estimated $2 million ''public benefits'' payment to fund needed public benefit projects situated within the impacted Miami River District.
