Located at 18975 Collins Avenue in the heart of Sunny Isles Beach, often referred to as "Florida's Riviera" for its pristine beaches, luxury towers, and global appeal, the Residences by Armani/Casa is uniquely positioned to represent the next evolution of high-rise living. This initiative brings the service principles and standards of the world's most respected hotels into residential living, reflecting a growing expectation among residents for a more refined, consistent, and personalized experience.

"Being selected as part of this inaugural group reflects the high standards our residents expect, and our team delivers every day," said Adela Gurriaran, general manager of Residences by Armani/Casa.

"Our participation reinforces the Board's commitment to maintaining the highest level of service and ensuring our property continues to stand apart in a very competitive luxury market." Completed in 2019, the Residences by Armani/Casa is a 56-story oceanfront tower developed by Dezer Development in collaboration with The Related Group and designed by world-renowned architect César Pelli.

The property reflects Giorgio Armani's signature minimalist aesthetic and attention to detail, creating a cohesive design experience throughout the building's architecture, interiors, and amenities. The inclusion of Residences by Armani/Casa in this program underscores its role as a benchmark for luxury residential living, not only for its design and location, but for its continued leadership in delivering elevated service experiences.
