The Ritz-Carlton Residences Miami Beach, a 7-acre waterfront development planned for the neighborhood of Mid-Beach, has unveiled its private villa residences. The condominium will consist of 111 apartments ranging from two to five bedrooms. Additionally, there will be 15 standalone villas designed by the Italian architect Piero Lissoni. Prices for the villas range from about $4.5 million to just over $7 million. Eight of the villas will be set on the waterfront and will include private docks. Sales for the residences began in the spring of 2014, but details about the villas did not emerge until recently.
