Terra, One Thousand Group, and Major Food Group
In the heart of Miami’s booming Edgewater neighborhood, a new icon is rising from the shoreline -shimmering glass and copper, wrapped in bold architectural ambition and steeped in indulgent hospitality. Its name is Villa, and it may very well be the most exclusive residential development Miami has ever seen.
The product of a landmark collaboration between three industry titans—Terra, One Thousand Group, and Major Food Group—Villa Miami isn’t just another luxury condo. It’s the fusion of world-class real estate, hospitality, and design into something altogether new: a vertical estate tailored for the world’s most discerning buyers.
THE DREAM TEAM
To understand Villa, one must first understand its creators. Terra, led by visionary developer David Martin, has shaped much of Miami’s modern identity through thoughtful, design-forward developments. One Thousand Group, the force behind the iconic One Thousand Museum by Zaha Hadid, is known for pushing boundaries in high-end residential architecture. And Major Food Group (MFG), with celebrated concepts like CARBONE and ZZ’s Club, has redefined how we experience dining and service.
“We’ve been at the forefront of presenting legacy developments that are transformational to key neighborhoods,” says David Martin, CEO of Terra. “Villa is the project that marks the coming of age for the Edgewater neighborhood. The unrivaled level of service, social amenities, design and architecture, combined with the full floor residences is going to be a defining factor for the area.”
Indeed, the name Villa evokes that very idea. Each of the building’s 70 full-floor residences is a home in the sky—a private villa with 360-degree views, bespoke interiors, and hotel-level amenities, minus the crowd.
AN ARCHITECTURAL STATEMENT
Designed by ODP Architecture with rising talent Kurt Dannwolf at the helm, Villa’s striking exoskeletal design features a warm copper cladding that glows against the Miami sun. The structure is engineered by the renowned DeSimone Consulting Engineers, ensuring both visual drama and structural integrity.
At 650 feet tall, the crystalline tower is impossible to ignore—yet it doesn’t shout. It whispers elegance. It speaks to a buyer who doesn’t need to be seen to know they’ve arrived.
HOSPITALITY, REIMAGINED
One of Villa’s greatest innovations is the seamless integration of hospitality at a level usually reserved for five-star resorts. Major Food Group is crafting every detail of the resident experience, from private restaurants and lounges to a bar that feels more like a members-only club than a building amenity.
“All the players on this dream team have unparalleled track records of giving the world the very highest level of firsts in their respective industries,” says Major Food Group Co-Founder Jeff Zalaznick. “There is no doubt that Villa will set the standard that luxury developments are measured by for decades to come.”
DESIGN WITH SOUL
And when it comes to the culinary experience, few understand the balance of form and function better than Mario Carbone. His personal touch will be seen and felt in the design of Villa’s kitchens—spaces that are as suited for quiet evenings as they are for chef-led dinners.
Villa’s interiors are being brought to life by Vicky Charles of Charles & Co., the British design star beloved by everyone from Gwyneth Paltrow to the Beckhams. Known for her impeccable ability to merge warmth with modernity, Charles is creating interiors that reflect the personal lives of Villa’s residents, not just their status.
Her vision leans into honest materials, subtle textures, and inviting spaces that feel lived-in, not staged. The result: residences that go beyond ‘photo-ready’ to become truly ‘life-ready.’
A STATEMENT OF WHAT’S POSSIBLE
Edgewater, once a quiet slice of the city, is now poised to become its most coveted address. And with Villa, the neighborhood welcomes a new flagship—one that signals a shift in how we define urban luxury.
One Thousand Group Co-Founder, Kevin Venger adds: “Many of our owners at One ThousandMuseum—and the many buyers who missed out on that opportunity—all keep asking, ‘What’s next?’ We had to deliver something even more exclusive, responsive to the demands and lifestyle of the highest-profile residents and celebrity buyers in the world.”
VILLA is not for everyone—and that’s exactly the point. With only 70 homes and a standard of living that fuses the very best of architecture, hospitality, and bespoke design, it is a sanctuary for those who demand more than just luxury. They demand legacy.
And in a world increasingly crowded with lookalike towers and flashy amenities, Villa Miami stands apart—confident, curated, and quietly revolutionary.
