Canyon Ranch Miami Beach has opened its doors to the long awaited North tower (6899 Collins Avenue) within this distinguished development. I’ve added some of today’s photographs for you to see the beauty in it…

Here’s the amazing SW View from the 22nd floor. Notice the historic Carillon hotel sign maintained with the Canyon Ranch project. Just below the Downtown skyline is La Gorce Island then the new NoBe on the Bay condos (which seems to have come to a standstill), Aquasol and the King Cole far off to the right.

The Canyon Ranch North tower pool was inviting with a large jacuzzi and beach access & services. There’s far less setback from the other tower and hotel. All amenities are included throughout this health conscience complex

The hallways were bright, elegant and spacious..

A slick uber modern Canyon Ranch kitchen with Miele & Sub Zero appliances

The lobby was classy and well done with beach accents including shell chandeliers along with modern bamboo style columns and a waterfall

The front entryway had valet with a great big smile and an immediate attention at the front from concierge. An Excellence in service..

Lifestyle of the Rich & Famous (Part1) takes us to 88 La Gorce Island in Miami Beach FL real estate with an asking price of $25M USD (List Date JAN 08). This home is built on 27,900 Square Feet of prime (Eastern shore of La Gorce Island) waterfront (136 x 204) land. Completion is scheduled for early 2009 and the details are tremendous…

The home, known as Villa Okto, is a 2 story modern estate with 20,000 square feet of interior living space. The 9 bedroom home is comprised of 10 full bathrooms with 4 half baths, a wonderful chef’s kitchen, commercial elevator, impact resistant doors with a 40′ opening, an enormous rooftop terrace and best of all, 5 garage spaces for your treasured collection. The guest home is made up of 1 bedroom (of the 9) with 2 bathrooms. There is an elevated cabana with full bathroom plus a 2 bedroom (of the 9) 2 bathroom staff quarters with a full kitchen. The home is equipped with an 80′ lap pool and comes fully furnished. The masterminds behind the design are none other than Todd Glaser (with Touzet Studios) of Miami who is known for the Hogan home and has appeared on HGTV.

Just as Jorge Perez has been heralded as the King of Condominiums, Todd Michael Glaser can be called the Heavenly Father of Homes. While other real estate developers are working with a plethora of inventory, buyers are lucky to get their hands on a property developed by Todd Glaser, to the point where Ugo Columbo purchased The Fisher Estate when Glaser was only half done with the renovations. ~ HauteLiving.com
