In a city already famed for its glittering skyline and luxurious lifestyle, Miami developers are raising the stakes yet again. As The New York Post reported, developers are now incorporating world-class chefs and high-end wellness brands into their residential towers to lure discerning buyers. What once began with partnerships with elite car brands like Porsche and Bentley, and iconic fashion houses such as Armani/Casa, has now expanded into the realms of culinary excellence and holistic wellness.
One of the most talked-about additions to Miami’s architectural scene, as detailed in The New York Post report, is the upcoming Jean-Georges Miami Tropic Residences. Slated to open in 2027 in Miami’s Design District, this 48-story luxury tower is set to redefine the integration of fine dining and residential living. Named after Michelin-starred chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, the building will feature condos starting at $1.6 million and will house the chef’s celebrated ABC Kitchen trilogy—ABCV, ABC Cucina, and ABC Kitchen.
While the restaurants will be open to the public, residents will enjoy exclusive benefits, including custom-designed kitchens by Vongerichten himself. From selecting the appliances to arranging the pots and pans, every culinary detail will reflect the chef’s meticulous standards. According to the information provided in The New York Post report, Vongerichten even offers the unique perk of stocking residents’ fridges with his signature ingredients and dishes before their arrival.
“A chef understands all the details that create quality, such as texture and color, so it’s natural for a chef to bring their experience into lifestyle,” Vongerichten told Side Dish during a visit to Miami, as reported by The New York Post.
The project is a collaboration between David Martin of Terra and Lion Development, marking yet another high-profile venture for Martin. As The New York Post previously highlighted, Martin had earlier launched the Carbone Residences in partnership with Major Food Group and One Thousand Group.
The 58-story Villa Miami, anchored by celebrity chef Mario Carbone, offers similarly lavish kitchens designed by the chef himself and even includes the option of having fridges and bars pre-stocked with Carbone’s signature dishes and drinks.
But the culinary trend doesn’t stop there. The Cipriani brand has also made a notable impact on Miami’s luxury real estate market, with the introduction of Mr. C Residences and the Cipriani Residences. These towers blend Italian elegance with exclusive culinary experiences, creating yet another tier of upscale living in the Magic City.
As The New York Post report explained, anchoring luxury condominiums with celebrity chefs and restaurant brands isn’t entirely new. In New York City, buildings such as 220 Central Park South on Billionaires’ Row have set the precedent, with exclusive dining experiences curated by celebrated chefs such as Daniel Boulud and Jean-Georges Vongerichten himself.
However, what sets Miami apart is the sheer scale and ambition with which developers are incorporating these culinary partnerships. As the report in The New York Post pointed out, the city’s skyline is no longer just about opulence—it’s about experience-driven luxury living.
The Well: How a Celebrity Wellness Brand is Redefining Luxury Living in Miami and Beyond
The expansion of luxury branding into wellness is also gaining momentum. This week, according to The New York Post, David Martin is set to launch The Well Coconut Grove Miami. This project follows the success of The Well Bay Harbor Island, which debuted last December. Notably, some of the commercial space in The Well Bay Harbor Island was recently leased by Tom Brady for his family office, adding yet another layer of prestige to the development.
The luxury real estate market is no longer just about square footage and skyline views. As The New York Post report keenly observed, it’s about the lifestyle a property can offer. Whether it’s dining on a Michelin-starred chef’s signature dish in your private residence or having your kitchen custom-designed by the chef himself, these residences are about curating exceptional daily experiences for their elite clientele.
Wellness is equally crucial in this equation. Projects such as The Well Coconut Grove Miami emphasize holistic living spaces, offering everything from on-site meditation rooms to personalized wellness programs. Miami’s luxury market is increasingly catering to buyers who see their homes not just as assets, but as extensions of their personal brand and lifestyle values.
With celebrity clientele such as Tom Brady, Emma Roberts, Gwyneth Paltrow, Reese Witherspoon, Priyanka Chopra, and Nick Jonas, The Well has become synonymous with elite wellness culture.
According to the information contained in The New York Post report, The Well began its journey in 2019 with the launch of its flagship wellness club near Union Square in New York City. Co-founded by Rebecca Parekh, Sarrah Hallock, and Kane Sarhan, the club quickly became a magnet for A-listers and health enthusiasts seeking an all-encompassing approach to wellness.
The monthly membership, which starts at $350, provides access to state-of-the-art nutrition and medical programs, fitness classes, and cutting-edge spa treatments like infrared saunas, cold plunges, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and PLT light beds.
Speaking to The New York Post, co-founder Kane Sarhan explained the natural progression from exclusive wellness clubs to branded residences: “So many people who come to the club in New York said they wanted to live here. Wellness is a macro trend. Everyone with money is interested in longevity, fitness, and weight loss. That’s what they are spending their dollars on.”
The Well’s latest expansion into Coconut Grove, Miami, exemplifies this seamless transition from club to residence. As The New York Post reported, the eight-story luxury residence will offer not just homes but an integrated wellness experience designed for modern living.
Residents will enjoy access to on-demand juice and snack programs, family meal preparation services, and a dedicated cafe and restaurant within the building. Kitchens are equipped with “healthy butler pantries” featuring advanced cooking technology designed to make nutritious meal preparation effortless.
Furthermore, buyers have the option to customize wellness rooms within their homes—dedicated spaces designed for activities like meditation, infrared therapy, or yoga.
Sarhan emphasized to The New York Post: “We’re creating spaces where wellness isn’t an afterthought—it’s built into the very fabric of the home.”
At the core of The Well’s success lies a deep understanding of its clientele. David Martin of Terra, one of the key developers behind The Well’s residential projects, explained to The New York Post how they approach design and development: “When we start out with an idea or project, we are trying to figure out how people can improve their lives. We try to go through pretty specific processes to understand who is the owner we are designing for — with demographics and psychographics and the data informs our decisions about who our partners are.”
This thoughtful approach ensures that every detail of a Well residence—from the architectural layout to the placement of wellness amenities—is intentionally designed to enhance residents’ well-being.
As The New York Post exclusively revealed, 20% of the 200 units at The Well Coconut Grove were sold within the first 48 hours of their launch. Such demand reflects not only Miami’s booming real estate market but also the growing appetite for wellness-centric living spaces.
Martin further noted the appeal of these residences to intellectual communities and empty nesters who are moving from traditional homes to buildings that offer high-end services and a sense of community. “Whether it is Coconut Grove or Bay Harbor, these are communities for people who value thoughtful living and tailored experiences,” Martin told The New York Post.
The Well residences go far beyond fitness centers and organic juice bars. As The New York Post reported, the brand integrates a comprehensive suite of wellness services, including on-site doctors and nutritionists offering personalized health plans, state-of-the-art spa treatments such as hyperbaric oxygen therapy and cold plunges, and family meal prep services for convenient, nutritious dining.
This holistic approach ensures that residents aren’t just buying a home—they’re buying into a lifestyle of longevity, health, and intentional living.
The Well’s ambitions aren’t confined to Miami. As The New York Post report revealed, the brand has already secured deals to develop new branded residences in Mexico, London, and Texas. This rapid expansion calls attention to a larger trend: wellness isn’t just a trend—it’s a global movement.
Luxury real estate is no longer defined solely by marble floors, infinity pools, and skyline views. As The New York Post report indicated, the modern luxury buyer prioritizes experiences over aesthetics and wellness over excess.
The Well is tapping into this shift with unparalleled precision, offering residences that seamlessly integrate health, luxury, and community.
The success of The Well Coconut Grove serves as a blueprint for the future of high-end real estate. It signals a cultural and economic shift where health and longevity aren’t just personal goals—they’re core design principles for the spaces we live in. The question for developers is no longer just about square footage or amenities—it’s about how a home can make you healthier, happier, and more fulfilled.
With the backing of celebrity clientele, thoughtful design, and cutting-edge wellness technologies, The Well has cemented itself as a pioneer in the luxury real estate space.
As The New York Post report makes clear, The Well isn’t simply building homes—it’s crafting environments where people can thrive. And in a world increasingly focused on health, resilience, and well-being, that’s not just a smart business move—it’s a cultural revolution.
For those fortunate enough to call The Well home, the future looks not just luxurious, but vibrantly healthy.
