Faena House

Faena House is the centerpiece of Faena District, the most revolutionary Miami Beach real estate development in years. Everything about Faena House is bold and innovative — from the custom-crafted sliding glass walls to the touch-screen control system, which activates the lighting, thermostats, and shades. A short ride down the 500-feet-per-second elevators and residents find themselves in the heart of the Faena District, the newest cultural entertainment destination, itself in the heart of Miami Beach.

Josh Stein says, “The Faena House has redefined the word ‘luxury,’ raising the standard for all who follow.” Completed in 2015, the Faena House is named for visionary Buenos Aires developer Alan Faena. After assembling an all-star cast of developers, Faena set about re-imagining what the Miami Beach lifestyle could be. The result was a multifaceted plan, complete with outdoor spaces, a cultural center, hotel, and residences nestled between Collins Avenue and the Atlantic Ocean.

The concept is enhanced by the details, each chosen for comfort and sophistication. The master bathroom has heated floors. Some terraces are up to 37 feet deep. And new owners have choices to make: white Venetian terrazzo floors or eight-inch light white oak? Staff quarters are optional. The walls are floor-to-ceiling glass, and they slide away, a custom feature only in Faena House residences. Each wall opens 12.5 feet, blending indoors and outdoors unlike any other condo.

Amenities include 24-hour doorman, valet, and concierge services, in-house spa, gym with timber flooring and ocean views, landscaped pool, and private beach club access with attended cabanas. In every way, Faena House developers say their creation will be an “international nexus for cultural activity and leisure.”
