This Lavish Penthouse Is A Perfect Marriage Of Milanese Design And Custom Artisan Flair
The Residences at 1428 Brickell are about to receive a new crowning glory. Perched atop the high-rise, the subsidiary of Miami-based real estate development firm Ytech has revealed a ground-breaking $60 million, two-story, fully-finished penthouse. The residence encompasses over 12,000 square feet set under a soaring 30-foot ceiling, unveiling an unrivaled tapestry of views: the jewel box of the Miami skyline with visibility of the Fort Lauderdale cityscape to the north, the vast beauty of the Everglades to the west and sweeping perspectives of the Atlantic Ocean to the east and on the southern horizon.
“Our objective was clear: to create one of the most exceptional penthouse residences in the world. The Penthouse at 1428 Brickell sets new standards in luxury living, not just in Miami but globally,” shared Yamal Yidios, CEO of Ytech.
Curated by the esteemed Milan-based ACPV ARCHITECTS led by Antonio Citterio and Patricia Viel, this epitome of luxury is a testament to unrivaled design, influenced by iconic figures of the 20th century, including Oscar Niemeyer, Luigi Caccia Dominioni, Angelo Mangiarotti, Charlotte Perriand, and Philip Johnson. Antonio Citterio reflected, “Our commitment was to evoke the spirit of architectural and design masters of the 20th century. Through a unique combination of light, space, and texture, we’ve created a penthouse that reinterprets luxury.” Patricia Viel added, “We took inspiration from design greats, channeling their genius into crafting a space that harmoniously combines elegance and functionality. Each detail prioritizes residents’ experience from the moment they arrive at the building, until they reach the privacy of their residence.”
By channeling the genius of icons such as Niemeyer’s sublime curves, Philip Johnson’s emphasis on creating truly livable, engaging spaces, and Mangiarotti’s reverence for natural materials, the penthouse became an opulent tapestry of silk georgette marble, eucalyptus wood claddings, mineral lime-based finishes, fluted glass walls, spaghetti stone touches and ash flooring. These lavish materials were handpicked by Ytech’s diligent team during their global expeditions, ensuring each selection met the project’s unparalleled standards.
The development and design teams collaborated in consideration of crucial elements including configuring front- and back-of-house circulation schemes, planning the flow of rooms within the residence to balance day and night areas, integrating a specialized structural and envelope design for the residence, and bringing in specialists for comprehensive 3-D concept, schematic, and design analysis of key spaces within the estate in the sky. Exhaustive research underpinned the creation of a stone-clad sculptural stairway, a centerpiece of the residence, where more than 32 different designs were studied showcasing the lengths taken to achieve perfection. An extensive solar study guarantees every space captures optimal light, imbuing the residence with a mesmerizing glow that shifts with the sun, allowing residents to immerse in the sublime, panoramic city vistas, and ensuring a seamless blend of indoor and outdoor luxuries.
Alicia Cervera Lamadrid, managing partner of Cervera Real Estate who holds the exclusive listing for the residence said, “I’ve seen many luxury residences in my career, but nothing like The Penthouse at 1428 Brickell. It’s more than just a home; it’s art, history, and luxury woven into one.”
The Residences at 1428 Brickell is slated for completion in 2027.
