Missoni Baia Continues to Rise as Una Residences Breaks Ground

Posted 10.23.2020

As Architect Magazine, New Atlas, and Construction Review Online have recently noted, construction is in process at Una Residences, the second Miami residential project from renowned developer OKO Group. Meanwhile, construction on Missoni Baia, the other OKO initiative that’s going vertical along Miami’s waterfront, is now more than half complete, and the developer expects to deliver the first of its 249 Edgewater condos in 2022. Missoni Baia is being designed by Asymptote Architecture and designer Paris Forino with oversight by the Missoni family, and the result will be a Missoni runway show brought to life. Residents of these luxury waterfront condos will enjoy chic, minimalist interiors and access to a suite of resort-style amenities, including a colorful pool deck, multiple pools, and one of the city’s largest private spas.

Edgewater: Then and Now

Posted 10.21.2020

As construction at Missoni Baia in Miami’s Edgewater neighborhood reaches the halfway point, let’s take a moment to reflect on Edgewater’s storied past, booming present, and enticing future. The neighborhood has existed along the shore of Biscayne Bay for nearly as long as the city of Miami itself, but it came into its own with the construction of Biscayne Boulevard in the 1920s. This four-lane road produced a central shopping district around which the postwar boom in high-rise luxury towers was centered, creating an affluent area with a number of striking architectural landmarks, including the Omni International Mall, which introduced the area to high-end designers like Hermès and Givenchy, a trend that would be taken to the next level with the development of Missoni Baia decades later.

Missoni Baia and its class of new developments are continuing this architecturally significant tradition without sacrificing the laid-back and comfortable Miami attitude. This collection of Edgewater condos is being designed by Asymptote Architecture with guidance from the Missoni family, bringing the Italian fashion house’s signature style to life on a grand scale, complete with the waterfront views and warm breezes that make Miami famous. Private balconies and a sweeping pool deck encourage residents to make the most of the pleasant climate, while proximity to world-class shopping and restaurants anchors Missoni Baia in the heart of Edgewater.

As viewers can see in this video, Missoni Baia will be joined in Edgewater by a host of new developments, including a high-end organic grocer, a new private K-12 school, and a proposed Brightline train station that will connect the neighborhood with the rest of the city via rail. Edgewater has been on the rise for more than a hundred years, and Missoni Baia is putting the right foot forward for the next hundred years of architecture and style along the sandy beaches and warm waters of Biscayne Bay.

Vladislav Doronin, CEO of development partner OKO Group, also praised the construction and design work, saying that “building Missoni Baia to its midpoint milestone is a remarkable moment for our team as we bring this elegantly designed, landmark project to life.”

Posted 10.12.2020

Missoni Baia made the news last week when it reached the midpoint of construction, marking the first major milestone since the project broke ground. Industry outlets, including Global Construction and Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH), report that construction at these Edgewater condos on Miami’s Biscayne Bay is moving along at a steady pace and that the tower will rise at a rate of one floor per week until the expected topping-out date in March of next year. Missoni Baia is now also listed at The Skyscraper Center, CTBUH’s premier architectural database, which is home to information about the world’s leading tall buildings.

A Luxurious Afternoon in the Miami Design District

Posted 09.23.2020

There’s more to Miami than pristine beaches and azure water; there’s a booming cultural and culinary scene that’s the ideal alfresco indulgence, whether you want to gallery hop or shop the day away in the city’s near-perfect weather. Residents of the Miami Edgewater condos at Missoni Baia are just a five-minute drive from the city’s center of glamor and fun—the Design District.

A trip to the Design District is no ordinary shopping stroll. It’s an event because the best-of-the-best restaurants, fashion brands, and galleries call this upscale enclave home. Think of it as Fifth Avenue meets Rodeo Drive in the Florida sunshine. Whether you have a taste for cutting-edge art, high fashion, or haute cuisine, you’re in luck with a trip to the Design District.

It seems that only in Miami would a contemporary art gallery based in a small town in Uruguay find its perfect niche in the US. And that’s just what the Piero Atchugarry Gallery has done. It instantly became a home for modern international artists—particularly sculptors—when it opened in 2014 in Garzón, Uruguay. In 2018, they grew internationally and initiated the ever-popular Miami outpost. Here, the gallery and its curators use what they call an “instructional approach” to shepherd and cultivate artists through residencies in their massive space in the Design District location. Take a look at the open-air, seemingly graph-paper-inspired geometric mural by Brazilian artist Lydia Okumura.

For a decidedly modern form of art—automotive design—take a walk through Prestige Imports Performing Art Pop-Up to see what high-design on four wheels looks like as you review the ultimate in automobiles.

If you prefer haute couture over fast cars, you have plenty of boutiques to choose from.

Those with a sartorial leaning will find world-class brands like Dior and Hermès alongside smaller, but no less fashionable, boutiques. Here, you can get everything from a once-in-a-lifetime outfit to an everyday fragrance. For the fashion-inclined kid and teenager, C’est Chou by Sienna is the spot. The shop wants girls and young women to take fashion into their own hands and be able to choose from a comprehensive selection of designers from around the world.

Young or old, everyone in Florida knows that one of the only accessories that matters are your sunglasses. For over a decade, I on the District has been providing frames to the who’s who of Miami. Stop in to see the curated selection and try a pair for yourself.

End your trip to the Design District with an essential cooldown with some artisanal natural ice cream or popsicles from Ladyfingrs pushcart. You can even get a whole box of pops to take back to your Miami Bayfront condos at Missoni Baia.

Self-Care and Relaxation at Missoni Baia

Posted 09.17.2020

It’s always important to work some self-care time into your busy schedule. You can transform your Missoni Baia condo into a sanctuary of well-being. Enhance your mindfulness through innovative apps; master new recipes with guidance from an expert; and create an impromptu yoga studio — all within the comfort of your East Edgewater residence.

Enhance Your Mindfulness

A “healthier, happier, more well-rested life” is promised by mindfulness app Headspace. Start your day by listening to “The Wake Up,” a Headspace feature that offers inspiring stories and mini-meditations. Your condo bedroom — with its soft Paris Forino interiors inspired by the Miami waterfront — sets the perfect tranquil scene to prepare for the day ahead. If you’re working from home, take short breaks and listen to Headspace’s collections of soundscapes and soothing music. Meanwhile, the app Talkspace offers thousands of online therapists who can talk you through whatever is on your mind. Get comfortable on your sofa, with a backdrop of Biscayne Bay, and treat yourself to some “you” time.

Perform Yoga Al Fresco

Complement your healthy mind with a healthy body. At Missoni Baia, you can switch out the usual yoga studio for your private terrace that overlooks the bayfront. What better way to ease into the day than performing the naukasana (boat pose) with the sea breeze in your hair. The Gaia yoga app offers unlimited classes, so you can hop from vinyasa to yin to power. And if you miss your morning session, there’s even bedtime yoga.

Craft Seasonal Cuisine

It would be a crime not to make full use of the kitchen in your Edgewater Miami condo — with its Blue de Savoie marble counters and dark, mirrored backsplashes — but perhaps you need a little inspiration first. The Masterclass course by Alice Waters is a joyous celebration of farm-to-table cooking that emphasizes the use of seasonal produce. In 17 online classes, Waters teaches her philosophy on food, shows how to keep a well-stocked pantry, and helps you to master everything from the perfect galette to impeccable ravioli. Order your wholesome ingredients from the Urban Oasis Project, and create cuisine that’s nourishing for body and soul.

Bring the Spa to You

Sometimes the best way to relax involves sitting back and letting someone else do the work. If visiting a spa is off the table at the moment, bring the spa to your home. Zeel makes it easy to book in-home massages: Simply order on the app, and a massage therapist will arrive at your condo — sometimes in as little as an hour.

Help Locally at Missoni Baia

Posted 09.15.2020

With everything that’s been happening in 2020, the concept of community is well and truly back on the agenda. Residents can give back to the East Edgewater, and wider Miami community, by lending a hand to local foundations and organizations. We’ve rounded up a few, but there are plenty more just in the local community of Edgewater!

National YoungArts Foundation

The main campus\national headquarters of National YoungArts Foundation is just a few (dance) steps away from the Missoni Baia condos in Midtown Miami, so this cultural institution is close to the hearts of Edgewater residents. Its mission is to nourish and nurture young talent in the fields of visual, literary, and performing arts—helping them forge careers and realize dreams. Make a donation on the website or become a member of the Benefactor’s Circle—a network of arts-loving philanthropists who enjoy VIP access to National YoungArts Foundation events. A highlight of the year is the Backyard Ball—a rip-roaring celebration of YoungArts winners, featuring live music and dance, courtesy of students and alumni. Make a note to be at 2021’s ball.

Miami Rescue Mission

There are various Midtown branches of Miami Rescue Mission—although you’ll find them dotted across the city. In 2019, it provided 375,000 nights of safe shelter and almost a million meals to people in need. Homelessness has encountered new challenges in light of the pandemic, and this charity needs more help than ever—as well as volunteers to keep its centers running. The good news: you can get involved in many different ways: sign up for the Meals Club and help people get something to eat; take part in the Pack the Pantry Food Drive; join Girlfriends 4 Girlfriends, which aids women and children coming out of domestic violence or homelessness; or volunteer to serve meals, work in a thrift store, or organize events.

Foundation for New Education Initiatives

Miami-Dade public schools benefit greatly from the Foundation for New Education Initiatives—its motto, after all, is “giving our students the world.” Among the initiatives are college scholarships, a summer youth internship program, and mini-grants for teachers and schools. From these emerge new skills and opportunities for Miami students, and lives change for the better. Right now, the Foundation is committed to feeding less well-off members of the community. More than 500 hot meals are being delivered to students and their families each day, courtesy of COVID-19 relief efforts. As well as donating generously, you can sign up for an event, including the For the Love of Learning Gala in February 2021.
