The award-winning Ritz-Carlton Residences, Miami Beach features Salvatori natural stone

Salvatori’s involvement in The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Miami Beach

Among the projects we worked on over the past year was the Ritz-Carlton Residences in Miami Beach, an exquisite collection of condominiums and villas designed by Piero Lissoni and developed by Lionheart Capital. It is little wonder that the accolades are already rolling in, including being ranked the #1 Residential Development in Miami Beach by Elite Traveller and awards for its architecture.

The entire experience was a joy for us, and to explain a little about how it was for the other players in the process us, we invited our American partners to answer a handful of questions. With no more ado, we hear from Allison Greenfield, the Chief Development Officer of Lionheart Capital.

How is the residential and hospitality real estate world changing?

As clients become more sophisticated the need for quality buildout and materials is becoming more important. End users expect a luxurious experience and are aware when the construction quality does not live up to that standard. At The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Miami Beach, we used Salvatori stone in the common areas as well as in individual units’ bathrooms. It was very well received by our discriminating high-end clientele.

Salvatori does not only have beautiful quality materials and a culture that is dedicated to the integrity of the design of the project but it also has a reputation as a strong business partner, a company with integrity that delivers on time and on the specified terms.
