Bizzi & Partners and Sumaida + Khurana are individually known around the world for developing major real estate projects. Bizzi & Partners, with offices in New York, Milan, São Paulo and Tallin, have worked with Renzo Piano to project the 565 Broome SoHo in Manhattan and the Eighty Seven Park in Miami. The firm also developed the Langham Hotel in New York, designed by Charles Gwathmey. New York-based Sumaida + Khurana collaborated with Japanese architect, Tadao Ando to project at 152 Elizabeth Street, as well as Portuguese Alvaro Siza at 611 West 56th Street.
The building will be made of white concrete, glass, and marble. Many of its features including high ceilings, open and flexible floorplans, expansive private outdoor terraces for all offices, floor-to-ceiling windows, a fitness center, multiple F & B venues, and a large atrium that opens up all of the offices to a dramatic experience of light, air, and outdoor space for tenants, and a private rooftop with expansive water views.
In the coming months, Sumaida + Khurana and Bizzi & Partners plan to release more details about the Baeza building, which is expected to start construction next summer.
“We are happy to be entering into this new joint venture and are excited by the opportunity to be collaborating with Alberto Campo Baeza. His work speaks to both firms’ shared set of beliefs to create timeless buildings that are contextually appropriate and that thoughtfully consider the historic architecture of neighborhoods like South Beach.”
Davide Bizzi, Chief Executive Officer, Bizzi & Partners.
While the firms have generally focused on luxury residential development, the new partnership is also focused on elevating the quality level of office development by delivering the architectural pedigree, custom quality finishes, bespoke amenities and services delivered at their residential projects.
“We have a great deal of respect for one another’s projects and approach to development. We share in the vision to create seminal buildings that add significant value to the built environment. Alberto Campo Baeza’s buildings are known for their purity of design and subtle detailing. Similar to the other projects that our firms have developed, Campo Baeza’s design will provide the opportunity to deliver a building of exquisite craftsmanship and quality.”
Amit Khurana, Founding Partner, Sumaida + Khurana.
Bizzi & Partners and Sumaida + Khurana are currently in the process of finalizing details on additional developments they plan to announce in the near future.
