Share this Post!

Haute Residence headed to the sky today with a "Penthouse Wars" webinar featuring some of the most luxurious and top-dollar residences in the Miami, New York, and San Francisco markets. This was the latest entry in the industry-leading webinar series by the real estate, design, and architecture platform.

Edgardo Defortuna, President and CEO of Fortune International Group, Marcelo Kingston, Managing Partner of Multiplan Real Estate Asset Management (REAM), Leo Medeiros, Director of Sales at 181 Fremont, and Erin Boisson Aries, Founder of Erin Boisson Aries Team at Christie's International Real Estate, were hosted by Haute Living's April Donelson. The dialogue with and between the experts went into the penthouses their companies represent, as well as the state of their respective real estate markets during the quarantine and now as the industry is reopening to pre-pandemic operations.

Watch the webinar below.

Defortuna and Kingston showcased 57 Ocean, the 71-home boutique building set along Millionaire’s Row between Atlantic Heights and Mid-Beach in Miami Beach, and its $35-million penthouse. "The concept is to really connect with nature and to provide a healthy lifestyle in all aspects to the consumer that is the user of this property," said Defortuna, whose team at Fortune Development Sales is the exclusive broker of 57 Ocean.

"We are very proud about this rooftop penthouse where you can enjoy 360 views of Miami, the ocean and Intercoastal Waterway, and in pretty much 15,000 square feet (8,000 indoor, 7,000 outdoor), which is really unique, wrapping up the whole unit in one single floor," said Kingston. "We set the ocean as the front stage of any moment within the building. When the thought about the project and inspiration for the penthouse, we were trying to create special touchpoints and special moments within that space."

Boisson Aries gave a Big Apple-worthy presentation of the $34 million penthouse at One Beacon Court, including the never-ending views of New York City. "If you're going to be in New York, you want to have the most spectacular views," she said. "Vertically, we go north as far as the eye can see. Horizontally, (the views from the penthouse) goes from the East River all the way to New Jersey and beyond. There are great views in New York, and then there are spectacular us in New York. This one qualifies as having absolutely spectacular views. The apartment is 9,000 square feet in total and it's five bedrooms and six and a half baths. It is a duplex so it's spread over two floors. What this double-height space does is bring the entire city into your apartment."

Medeiros highlighted a stunning $46 million penthouse at 181 Fremont in San Francisco, pointing out that the photos did not do it justice since he participated in the webinar from inside the unit. "Our Grand Penthouse is nearly 7,000 square feet. It's the tallest residence west of Chicago," he said. "It includes all the furnishings and accessories. It happens to be the most expensive home in San Francisco, but it's also probably the most spectacular residence in San Francisco and, I think, the West Coast."
