Bespoke Real Estate has just launched one of the most significant pre-completion opportunities in Miami Beach: 31 La Gorce Circle . Set within the guard-gated enclave of La Gorce Island, this estate pairs architectural ambition with scale and exclusivity, offering a rare chance to secure a future landmark in one of the city’s most coveted neighborhoods. With fewer than 60 estates on the island—and only about half of those on the water—ownership here is synonymous with privacy, prestige, and long-term value. Recent record-setting sales above $60 million only underscore the rarity of this address. Rendering of 31 La Gorce Circle, Bespoke Real Estate Set on nearly 26,000 square feet of land, the site, listed by Zachary Vichinsky and Brett Harris, is envisioned for a contemporary residence of roughly 7,900 square feet, with seven bedrooms and seven full bathrooms plus a powder room. The design by AI2 Design Corp, with Todd Michael Glaser as builder, emphasizes transparency, scale, and seamless indoor-outdoor living. Rendering of 31 La Gorce Circle, Bespoke Real Estate At its heart is a central courtyard garden anchored by a reflecting pool, cold plunge, jacuzzi, and private lounge spaces, all wrapped by floor-to-ceiling glass walls. Outdoor amenities extend to a heated gunite pool, expansive deck, outdoor kitchen, and landscaped entertaining areas. A separate guest suite with its own driveway and a glass-fronted two-car garage complete the estate’s layout.

Within minutes, residents can access La Gorce Country Club, Lincoln Road, the Atlantic beaches, and Miami’s best-known restaurants including Carbone, Joe’s Stone Crab, Nobu, Casa Tua, and The Forge. World-class cultural institutions and shopping destinations such as the Bass Museum, Pérez Art Museum, Miami Design District, and Bal Harbour Shops are all nearby, as are exclusive beach clubs including The Bath Club, The Surf Club, and Miami Beach Edition. Rendering of 31 La Gorce Circle, Bespoke Real Estate Zoned RS-2 with a base flood elevation of nine feet, the site supports substantial square footage and provides flexibility for customization. Its dimensions—approximately 122 feet wide by 220 feet deep—create a rare canvas in Miami Beach, where parcels of this scale are increasingly scarce. The offering presents buyers with the ability to personalize finishes and details while benefiting from the pedigree of AI2 Design and Todd Michael Glaser, whose names are synonymous with quality and prestige.

Just steps from theaters, galleries, and the city’s expanding culinary scene, the two residential buildings offer direct access to Sarasota’s downtown—while maintaining the calm and comfort of a private retreat.

A locally led partnership has unveiled one of the most ambitious development proposals in Florida history: a $6.8 billion plan to reimagine St. Petersburg’s Historic Gas Plant District as a global hub of innovation, culture, and community. Rendering of Historic Gas Plant District Redevelopment, ARK Ellison Horus, LLC Formed by ARK Investment Management, Ellison Development, and Horus Construction, ARK Ellison Horus, LLC submitted the unsolicited proposal to the City with master planning led by Baker Barrios. Spanning 95.5 acres, including the Tropicana Field site, the plan will unfold in four phases over 17 years, integrating housing, education, cultural landmarks, and world-class event venues while honoring the neighborhood’s legacy of displacement. Rendering of Historic Gas Plant District Redevelopment, ARK Ellison Horus, LLC Independent analysis projects the district to generate $1.2 billion in annual economic impact—$28 billion over 30 years—alongside nearly 20,000 jobs. More than 1,900 affordable, workforce, and senior units are embedded across phases, delivering a significantly higher return to the city than stadium-centric proposals and positioning St. Petersburg as a model of equitable growth. “This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to build an economy powered by innovation,” said Cathie Wood, Founder and CEO of ARK Invest. “The Gas Plant District can become a magnet for venture capital, entrepreneurs, and research talent, while ensuring residents directly share in this prosperity.” Rendering of Historic Gas Plant District Redevelopment, ARK Ellison Horus, LLC Culture, History & Open Space Central to the vision is the Woodson African American Museum of Florida and a new performance theater, joined by a Booker Creek Cultural Corridor connecting Midtown, The Edge, and the Innovation District. Entertainment venues include a 4,000-seat indoor music hall, a 1,500-seat amphitheater, and 1,543 hotel rooms to support year-round programming. More than 30 percent of the site will be open space, highlighted by a 6.7-acre elevated park reconnecting Campbell Park to the Gas Plant neighborhood. Rendering of Historic Gas Plant District Redevelopment, ARK Ellison Horus, LLC Education & Workforce Development The plan embeds pathways from youth education to workforce readiness: the Superintendent School for construction leadership, HORUS Academy for trades training, and the Future Forward program for re-entry and small business support. Horus Scholars, already delivering $140 million in scholarships, will expand opportunities for higher education and career mobility. “This project is about more than buildings; it is about people,” said Jonathan Graham, President of Horus Construction. “We are ensuring the opportunities created here reflect the full diversity of St. Petersburg.” Rendering of Historic Gas Plant District Redevelopment, ARK Ellison Horus, LLC Building an Innovation Ecosystem At its core, the District introduces 500,000 square feet of innovation hubs, a 200,000-square-foot Innovation Hall for global conferences, and a Research Center creating up to 900 specialized jobs. Directly linked to the ARK Innovation Center, the site will establish a regional corridor for entrepreneurship, commercialization, and venture capital investment. “Unlike developments that rely on a single anchor tenant, this plan builds an economy of many anchors,” Wood added. “It ensures St. Petersburg is on the world stage for ideas, creativity, and investment.” As part of the proposal, the team has committed at least $202 million to the city, with just 53.5 acres privately held and the balance dedicated to public parks, cultural attractions, and open space.

Faraway Hotels has announced its next chapter with two new openings scheduled for summer 2026. The boutique brand, developed by Blue Flag Capital with Collared Martin Hospitality and Bain Capital Real Estate , will expand beyond Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard for the first time, introducing properties in Sag Harbor and Jackson Hole. Both hotel additions will be managed by Collared Martin Hospitality.

Downtown St. Pete’s skyline is about to get a new crown jewel. Rising 515 feet above Central Avenue, the 46-story Residences at 400 Central  is steadily approaching completion—and when finished, it will be the tallest residential building on Florida’s Gulf Coast. With its shimmering glass façade nearly sealed and interior construction advancing quickly, 400 Central is on track to welcome its first residents in the coming months. The tower is already transforming the streetscape, bringing not just high-rise living, but new energy to Central Avenue with retail tenants beginning to move in. Rendering of 400 Central, Clear pH Leading the way is Volta Wine + Market, the first announced ground-floor tenant. Opening in 2026, the 2,000-square-foot concept comes from local duo Zach Pace and Rachelle Tomushev, who are creating a boutique wine bar and specialty grocer powered by a Michelin-caliber wine program. Guests can expect around 250 SKUs—totaling more than 2,000 bottles—alongside sake, craft beer, pantry staples, and private tastings in a thoughtfully designed setting.

Erewhon, the Los Angeles-based luxury organic grocery chain that has become a byword for upscale wellness culture, is making its grand debut on the national stage. In an ambitious expansion drive, the cult-favorite supermarket known for its $20 celebrity-endorsed smoothies and meticulously curated health foods is setting up shop in 20 U.S. cities, from Los Angeles and Manhattan to Miami and Salt Lake City, marking the chain’s first foray outside California. Though Erewhon is now synonymous with celebrity sightings and hyper-trendy health fads, its origins are decidedly humble. The very first Erewhon opened in 1966 in Boston, launched by Michio and Aveline Kushi as one of the nation’s first natural-food shops focused on macrobiotic and organic foods. (The name “Erewhon,” an anagram of “nowhere,” nods to a 19th-century novel’s utopia of personal health responsibility.) A West Hollywood store followed in 1969, but by 2011 only a single L.A. location remained. That year, Tony and Josephine Antoci purchased the struggling market and began transforming it into the upscale phenomenon known today. Over the past decade, Erewhon has shot to cult status, fueled by frequent A-list shoppers and an army of wellness influencers documenting their $18 adaptogenic shakes on TikTok and Instagram. What was once a niche health food store is now a cultural symbol of luxury and exclusivity, drawing Oscar winners, Grammy artists, and pro athletes alongside everyday devotees. What truly sets Erewhon apart is its uncompromising focus on wellness as a lifestyle. Inside each store, customers find organic produce, chicly packaged supplements, and superfoods alongside tonic bars and cafés serving hot macrobiotic meals. Traditional staples take a backseat to cutting-edge health products vetted by Josephine Antoci, the chain’s president and tastemaker. The result is a shopping environment more akin to a luxury spa or members-only club than a typical supermarket. Celebrity collaborations have further amplified the brand’s allure. Erewhon pioneered the concept of the “star smoothie,” partnering with Hollywood elites and influencers on exclusive blends like the Hailey Bieber Strawberry Glaze, Bella Hadid Kinsicle, and Kourtney Kardashian Poosh smoothie. At one point, Bieber’s pink-hued concoction was selling 12,000 units per week. Carrying an Erewhon tote bag or posting one of its smoothies online has become a cultural status symbol. Until now, Erewhon’s footprint has remained entirely within Southern California, with ten locations concentrated in Los Angeles County. That is about to change. Erewhon’s leadership has confirmed plans for an unprecedented market test in 20 cities across the United States, bringing their viral smoothies to Los Angeles itself, as well as Manhattan, Miami, San Francisco, Chicago, Boston, San Diego, Seattle, Las Vegas, Dallas, Santa Barbara, Nashville, Phoenix, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Portland, Denver, Charleston, Salt Lake City, and New Orleans. The strategic significance of this move is hard to overstate. CEO Tony Antoci has described 2025 as the beginning of “Erewhon 2.0”—a wave of expansion powered by new infrastructure and surging demand. A 65,000-square-foot commissary kitchen in Vernon, California, now quintuples production capacity for prepared foods and juices, while a private equity investment in 2019 set the stage for national growth. Erewhon’s first East Coast entry point will be a tonic bar inside the members-only Kith Ivy club in New York, a deliberate choice to retain exclusivity even as it broadens reach. In cities like Miami and San Francisco, Erewhon is poised to tap into established health-focused communities, while in Nashville, Salt Lake City, and Charleston, the brand could catalyze emerging wellness markets. Each location is expected to be carefully selected, often with a focus on iconic or historic real estate that elevates Erewhon beyond the role of grocer to neighborhood anchor. Analysts note that premium “fresh format” grocers are now the fastest-growing retail segment, and with wellness comprising over 6% of the global economy, the timing is ideal. By expanding into 20 cities, Erewhon is betting that the cult of wellness has gone mainstream nationwide. If successful, it may redefine grocery shopping across America—transforming a simple errand into a luxury lifestyle statement, one $20 smoothie at a time.

After a multi-year transformation, Grand Hyatt Singapore has reopened with a renewed identity that blends large-scale hospitality, wellness innovation, and sustainability leadership. The 699-room property, one of the city’s original international hotels, now distinguishes itself through two distinct wings, an expanded dining collection, and comprehensive wellness facilities. Grand Hyatt Singapore The Grand Wing, reimagined with interiors by Tokyo-based Strickland , introduces 407 rooms with open layouts designed for flexibility, complemented by Patagonia stone bathrooms and city-facing views. Its counterpart, the Terrace Wing, presents a nature-led experience in collaboration with U.K.-based Grant Associates . Here, the 292 rooms feature ice-green marble and neutral tones that are paired with tropical landscapes of koi ponds and waterfalls, bringing a garden retreat atmosphere into the center of Orchard Road. The property is home to seven distinct dining venues that emphasize both heritage and innovation: Le Pristine , led by Michelin-starred chef Sergio Herman with interiors by NAO TANIYAMA, debuts in Southeast Asia with a menu that merges Italian cuisine with Zeeland influences.  StraitsKitchen , one of Singapore’s first Halal-certified buffets in a five-star hotel, returns with perfected renditions of local classics such as chili crab, laksa, butter chicken, and satay. The experience is anchored by vibrant show kitchens and complemented by a new fresh juice bar.  Pete’s Place , a Puglia-inspired trattoria first opened in 1973, now reemerges under chef Salvatore Catania with additions that include a chef’s table, antipasti bar, private dining room, and extensive wine cellar.  Oasis , designed by NAO TANIYAMA, provides an all-day poolside dining setting with fresh seafood on ice, grilled dishes, and handcrafted cocktails. Martini Bar reintroduces one of the city’s most extensive selections of martinis in a two-level space designed for gatherings.  BRIX , the hotel’s subterranean nightlife venue, returns with three distinct zones and live music five nights a week.  10|Scotts , the residential-style lounge, brings Mediterranean-inspired small plates and an afternoon tea service. The Shop expands the hotel’s offerings into retail, combining coffee, pastries, and artisanal goods with a curated selection of wines and gifts. At the center of the transformation is Damai, a wellness destination uniting modern science with practices rooted in ancient wisdom. Treatments draw on light, heat, and mineral-based modalities, supported by thermal-hydro experiences such as a Halo Steam Room infused with Himalayan salt, an Air Lounge Hydro Pool, and the only Mind Body Therapy Wall in a hotel in Singapore. Damai is also home to the first HYROX training club in Southeast Asia, introducing structured performance conditioning for both athletes and everyday movers. Sustainability practices underscore the entire transformation. The hotel now operates fully on renewable electricity and integrates initiatives such as an aquaponics system that converts food waste into resources for fish feed and garden fertilization. Zero-waste cooking methods, RFID-enabled laundry systems, and an in-house bottling plant further reduce the property’s environmental impact, reinforcing its position as a leader in sustainable hospitality in Singapore.

This fall, The Bastion Collection — a global leader in Michelin-recognized dining — is teaming up with ARKHAUS , Miami’s floating social club aboard a fleet of solar-electric yachts, to launch two open-to-the-public “Off the Grid” dinners on the water. Image of ARKHAUS Each one-night-only event will spotlight the chefs behind two of Miami’s most acclaimed restaurants, Le Jardinier and L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon. Together, they bring Michelin-starred dining into a rare, waterfront setting where cuisine, seasonality, and sustainability converge.

Coconut Grove is about to welcome a new kind of nightspot—one that feels equal parts hidden gem and neighborhood living room. Opening in October, Mae’s Room is set to become the Grove’s first-ever speakeasy, tucked behind Chug’s Diner along Main Highway in the Courtyards at Grove Village. Rendering of Mae's Room, Ariete Hospitality Group The 750-square-foot cocktail parlor comes from Ariete Hospitality Group—led by chef Michael Beltran, whose restaurants Ariete and Chug’s earned Michelin recognition—and Mae’s Group, the new hospitality venture from Marc Chasin and Lee Koniver. Together, the teams are introducing three concepts to the courtyard: Chuggie’s, a throwback burger stand; Drinking Pig BBQ, the first permanent home of chef Raheem Sealey’s celebrated pop-up; and Mae’s Room, the moody centerpiece designed by Studio Lobo. At the helm of Mae’s Room is longtime bartender Tom Lasher-Walker, a Bacardi Legacy champion and veteran of world-renowned bars like Attaboy in New York. His vision is simple: to give Miami a cocktail den where classics come first. Expect the coldest martini in the Grove, poured tableside from a bottle kept in the freezer, served in an icy glass with plenty of olives—a ritual inspired by London’s famed Duke’s Bar. The menu will also spotlight timeless standards like Old Fashioneds and Manhattans, executed with precision down to the oversized cubes, freshly pressed juices, and frosted glassware. Rendering of Mae's Room, Ariete Hospitality Group Design-wise, Mae’s Room leans into a retro sensibility, blending smoked mirrors, velvet booths, and polished lounge chairs for a space that feels like a 1970s living room reimagined as a cocktail lounge. It’s intimate—just a few dozen seats—but intentionally so. The goal, Lasher-Walker says, is to create a place where you’re welcomed like family, served quickly, and never feel lost in the crowd. In keeping with its neighborly vibe, Mae’s Room won’t have a kitchen but will let guests order from Chuggie’s next door. Think salty fries with a martini or chicken nuggets alongside an Old Fashioned—a high-low pairing that captures the playful spirit of the bar. The trio of openings is expected to bring 40 new jobs to Coconut Grove, but the real story is the way these projects add to the neighborhood’s evolving dining and nightlife fabric. Chuggie’s will bring burgers, fritas, and soft-serve to Fuller Street, while Drinking Pig BBQ will offer Caribbean-spiced smoked meats by 2026.

Kimpton BEM Budapest has officially debuted as the brand’s first boutique luxury hotel in Hungary, marking a new chapter for IHG Hotels & Resorts in Central Europe. Set within a restored 19th-century mansion on the Buda side (west) of the Danube River, the 127-room property opens with interiors by Dutch designer Marcel Wanders and a collection of culinary, cultural, and wellness experiences. Kimpton BEM Budapest Located near the UNESCO-listed Castle District, the hotel provides close access to landmarks such as the Fisherman’s Bastion, Matthias Church, and Chain Bridge, alongside the city’s celebrated Turkish baths. Its design draws inspiration from Hungarian folklore and mythology, weaving in motifs like poppies, tulips, and the legendary fairy tale of the Golden Stag and Turul Bird. Wanders’ signature imaginative approach is seen in details such as upside-down egg-shaped reception desks, a glass atrium with a central Golden Stag, and an eclectic mix of global collectibles. Among the accommodations are 11 suites, highlighted by the Cosmos and Observatory Suites, which can be adjoined to create a 120-square-meter residence with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living room, dining area, and kitchenette. The Observatory Suite also connects to an 82-square-meter furnished rooftop terrace designed for stargazing and private gatherings. Dining is led by three distinct venues. AGOS , the signature restaurant under Executive Chef Attila Feher, offers Mediterranean cuisine infused with Hungarian flair, with dishes such as smoky tuna carpaccio with grilled strawberry and venison wellington with mushroom duxelles and juniper glaze. Fennen , the rooftop garden bar, creates an intimate escape with aged rum, Japanese whiskey, and Cuban cigars set against panoramic views. At street level, Bar Huso takes inspiration from the Danube’s beluga sturgeon, presenting Hungarian wines, inventive cocktails, and weekend DJ sets in a convivial atmosphere. The hotel also introduces a range of event venues, from the Turul Chamber and Golden Stag Corner to the grand BEM Ballroom, accommodating up to 120 guests. A wellness area features a 24/7 fitness center, hot tub, and steam room, while Kimpton brand signatures such as complimentary yoga mats, loaner bicycles, and pet-friendly amenities extend the experience.

Clear Creek Tahoe isn’t just another private golf community—it’s one of the most extraordinary mountain settings in the game today. Set high on the eastern slope of the Carson Range, just minutes from Lake Tahoe, the 1,500-acre retreat combines unspoiled wilderness with a Coore & Crenshaw-designed course ranked as Nevada’s best private layout and among the nation’s elite. Image of Clear Creek Tahoe The layout embraces its natural surroundings with minimal alteration to the land, weaving through pine forests, granite outcrops, a pond, and open meadows. Golfers enjoy panoramic views stretching from the Carson Valley to Spooner Summit while tackling holes that are both visually dramatic and strategically engaging. Clear Creek Tahoe draws its spirit from some of the most celebrated modern courses—Bandon Trails, Streamsong, Sand Hills, Friar’s Head, and Old Sandwich. Like those landmarks, it reflects the vision of architects with a deep respect for golf’s history and traditions. Coore & Crenshaw approached Tahoe with the same purity of purpose, crafting a course that feels timeless, natural, and worthy of standing among America’s greats. Image of Clear Creek Tahoe Home, Sandbox No two residences at Clear Creek Tahoe look the same, and that variety gives the community the feeling of an architect’s open-air gallery. From the course, each home offers a different expression of mountain design—some with sharp modern lines of glass and steel, others leaning on stone and timber in a contemporary take on the lodge. Expansive windows frame Sierra views, while open interiors, vaulted ceilings, and crafted finishes keep the focus on light and space. Outdoor terraces, fire features, and covered patios extend living areas year-round. Image of Clear Creek Tahoe, Markets of Tomorrow Life at Clear Creek Tahoe is about more than just golf and real estate—it’s about a complete four-season lifestyle. Members enjoy access to a 20,000-square-foot clubhouse with fine dining, a wellness center, and a lively tavern honoring the club’s architects. Summer activities revolve around Summit Camp, which offers a pool, tennis and pickleball courts, and recreational space for families. In winter, members retreat to Twin Pines Lake & Ski House, a historic Julia Morgan-designed lodge on Lake Tahoe that serves as both a lakeside escape and a ski hub with shuttle access to Heavenly. More than 15 miles of private trails wind through the surrounding forest, offering opportunities for hiking, biking, and snowshoeing. Add in Nevada’s favorable tax climate and the unmatched natural setting, and Clear Creek Tahoe emerges as a premier destination for those seeking a blend of recreation, luxury, and privacy. Image of Clear Creek Tahoe, Markets of Tomorrow For golf enthusiasts, Clear Creek Tahoe represents a chance to experience one of the nation’s finest courses in pristine solitude. For luxury travelers and homebuyers, it offers a collection of residences that redefine mountain-modern living. Together, the course, the homes, and the amenities create a rare community where every detail is designed to highlight the beauty of the High Sierra and provide a lifestyle that is both invigorating and indulgent.
