andra Del Castillo is a Miami native and real estate mogul who's always eating out, often at Cipriani. She's such a fan that she's invested in the brand, buying three units in the upcoming Cipriani Residences Miami in Brickell. The 80-story tower will offer residents an unparalleled level of luxury, with prices starting at $1.7 million.

    Castillo isn't alone in her enthusiasm for living near great food. Several high-end hospitality groups are developing buildings that cater to foodies. One such project is Villa Miami, a 56-story building in Edgewater that's part of the Major Food Group. Residents will enjoy a rooftop helipad, on-site restaurant, and private club with amenities like a bar, movie theater, spa, pool, and helipad.

    Another development, Casa Tua's Ora, is located at 1210 Brickell Ave and features 533 fully furnished residences. The building boasts a 9th-floor pool, cabanas, and a 40-foot open-sky garden. Casa Tua plans to add four new dining concepts, including the tallest rooftop restaurant in Miami.

    International chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten is also entering the real estate market with the Jean-Georges Miami Tropic Residences in the Design District. The 329-unit building will feature a restaurant and kitchen appliances designed by Vongerichten himself. He's even planning to stock home fridges with local produce for residents who want it.

    These luxury developments are changing the way people live, work, and dine in Miami. With prices starting at $1.6 million for Jean-Georges' project and $5 million for Villa Miami, these buildings offer a unique lifestyle experience that combines high-end amenities with exceptional cuisine.
