Fisher Island’s exclusive Palazzo Del Sol readies for its grand entrance into the South Florida luxury living boom.

There are plenty of reasons why the world’s uber-rich flock to Fisher Island. After all, the 216-acre tropical paradise off Miami Beach—accessible only by ferry or private yacht—is one of the most exclusive islands in the world, with its own private club, a luxurious spa, world-class tennis, a beach club, a private day school, and an aviary with exotic birds. It even has its own zip code.
Not to mention the views.
But now, the world’s elite has another reason to come to Fisher Island: Palazzo Del Sol, a lavish 47-unit ultra-luxury condominium that is the first new construction on the island since 2007. The demand for new construction is so strong on the island that nearly 60 percent of Palazzo Del Sol is already spoken for—including two of the project’s three penthouses.
“Fisher Island is a unique place,” says Heinrich von Hanau, chief executive officer of Fisher Island Holdings, the project’s developer. “You have all the amenities on the island, but if you want to enjoy South Beach, it’s at your fingertips—only a seven-minute ferry ride to the mainland.”
Von Hanau engaged Miami-based architect Kobi Karp and Swiss landscape architect Enzo Enea to design Palazzo Del Sol as a private oasis, with lush grounds, outdoor living spaces, and six-star services. Karp says his design was inspired by Mediterranean Italianate architecture, with clean lines and terraces with multilevel gardens and pools that evoke properties found in Tuscany.
Palazzo Del Sol’s North Lobby will offer stunning views of the community’s lush gardens and outdoor living spaces, as well as the beauty of South Beach, a short ferry ride away.
Construction on the 10-story Palazzo Del Sol began in the spring of 2014, and completion is slated for the first quarter of 2016. The three- to seven-bedroom units range from 3,800 to 9,800 square feet and include features such as spacious outdoor terraces, private elevator entrances, Boffi kitchens and master baths, floor-to-ceiling windows, and Lualdi interior doors and hardware.
Amenities at the project include a theater, hair and makeup salon, state-of-the-art fitness center designed by The Wright Fit, a Kidville-designed children’s playroom, professional fur storage, private massage rooms, a business center, and two lobbies, complete with a butler-serviced aperitivo bar. “Palazzo Del Sol is the first true full-service building on Fisher Island,” says Dora Puig, director of sales and marketing for Palazzo Del Sol. “We’re really taking it up to another level.”
Fisher Island has long been an oasis for celebrities, athletes, and entrepreneurs from more than 45 countries. The island offers eight dining venues, a day school, post office, full service salon, and the five-star Spa Internazionale. The island’s tennis center is one of the few places in the world where players could enjoy four different surfaces, including grass and red clay. “It’s like a sanctuary, a place that provides you with amenities hard to find anywhere else in the world,” says Bernard Lackner, CEO of the Fisher Island Club. “You are disconnected from the hustle and bustle of Miami, and so it feels like you are far away, but at the same time you are close.”
In 2013, the Fisher Island Club completed a $70 million renovation of its amenities that included upgrades to the Fisher Island Club Hotel & Resort, golf clubhouse, tennis center, spa, salon, beach club, private yacht marinas, Island Market, and Vanderbilt Mansion. The goal was “to restore Fisher Island and bring it back to current standards in terms of quality and membership expectations,” says Lackner.
In May, the Fisher Island Club even entered the realm of fragrance, introducing a signature perfume called “1936.” The scent hearkens back to the days when William K. Vanderbilt II began building his mansion on the island and reflects the opulence of the resort, with bergamot, tea, orange blossom, coriander, jasmine, and rose tones.
Current pricing at Palazzo Del Sol ranges from $6.5 million to $35 million. In June, the developer announced that a 6,644-square-foot penthouse, listed at $27.2 million, was purchased by attorney Jim Ferraro. That unit’s features include 18-foot ceilings, four bedrooms, four and one-half baths, a Signature Boffi kitchen and baths, appliances from Gaggenau, Sub-Zero, Dornbracht, Duravit, and an expansive private rooftop space with a pool. This was the second of the three penthouses to go under contract. The first sold for $35 million to an undisclosed Russian buyer. The remaining penthouse is listed for $27 million, von Hanau says.
Next up for Fisher Island, according to Puig, is Palazzo Della Luna, a sister building to Palazzo Del Sol. It will have a world-class spa that both buildings can access. Sales are expected to start next year. 1 Fisher Island Dr., Fisher Island, 305-535-6071
