The sweeping contours of car bodies, the precise corners of daring architecture, fine strokes creating elaborate canvases, and the aesthetic touch of books – they’re all forms of artistry. And Aston Martin advocates all. Aston Martin has partnered with a global property developer to extend its iconic eye for design into a Miami, USA real estate venture, called Aston Martin Residences, that will carry the marque’s craftsmanship through the building’s individual exclusive residences, right up to a triplex penthouse, and even into a limited edition book.

Aston Martin began as Bamford and Martin in 1913, between partners Robert Bamford and Lionel Martin. The unforgettable Aston Martin name came about in 1914. What’s always captivated the public about Aston Martin cars, and continues to do so more than 100 years later, is their equal focus on beauty alongside the drive experience. Aston Martin has always put emphasis on creating cars that embody inspiration, elevation, and timelessness. As the team on the Aston Martin Residences website notes, they push ‘to achieve an unheralded level of aesthetic precision.’ It seems only the next natural move, then, that Aston Martin should extend this love for art into the forms of property, visual and fine arts, and books.

Aston Martin Residences is being developed by G&G Business Developments in a fittingly beautiful piece of Miami, USA on a waterfront precinct that has panoramic views of Biscayne Bay. The 66-floor building of a 249-metre height will have 391 residences, 7 penthouses, and 1 exclusive triplex penthouse – which has been individually named UNIQUE. The residences are from US $1,5m to US $8,5m; while the penthouses are from US $16m to US $59m. No detail has been forgotten in the immaculately finished residences, from marble flooring to quartz countertops, right down to soundproofing on the floors and walls between units and corridors.

The property itself has every imaginable amenity:

• ·         24/7 personal butler service
• ·         A private superyacht marina
• ·         24-hour valet
• ·         Electric vehicle charging stations
• ·         10 super high speed elevators
• ·         A sky bar, pool, and lounge
• ·         A salon and barber
• ·         Fitness centres, including virtual golf, boxing, gyms, and a spinning studio
• ·         A full service spa
• ·         Movie theatres
• ·         An art gallery
• ·         A business centre and conference room

UNIQUE is the bespoke name given to the only Aston Martin triplex penthouse in the world, covering levels 63-65 f the building. Priced at US $59m, UNIQUE comes with its own dazzling set of features:

• ·         7 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms
• ·         Wrap around terraces on each floor
• ·         Its own swimming pool
• ·         Its own gym and spa
• ·         6 powder rooms
• ·         Staff quarters
• ·         Elevator within the apartment
• ·         Custom built climate controlled garage for your Aston Martin

The owner of the UNIQUE triplex penthouse will be the recipient of an Aston Martin Vulcan to complete their Aston Martin Residences experience. The Vulcan is a 1 of 24 in the world model. It is an all carbon fibre supercar engineered for track driving only.

Going a step further, the UNIQUE triplex penthouse has inspired a fine art book. It will be a collectable 70-page Aston Martin leather-bound book that journals the tale of UNIQUE through paintings, poetry, and photographs. The artists have created impressionistic paintings of the terraces, included photographs of the Vulcan, and even gone as far as recording an orchestral symphony inspired by the penthouse, which will have a linked QR code in the book. The book will be a limited edition at just 150 copies.

Aston Martin Residences is scheduled for completion in 2023.
