SUNNY ISLES BEACH, Fla. – With Acqualina Ocean Residences & Resort now on the rise at 17875 Collins Avenue in Sunny Isles Beach, the ultra-luxurious, Italian- inspired residential resort has introduced a new floor plan comprising the fully furnished Don Pietro collection. As its centerpiece, Acqualina will have a small, luxury “boutique” hotel managed by the esteemed, award-winning Rosewood Hotels & Resorts.

According to Acqualina’s Vice President of Sales & Marketing, the developers created this all-new, unique and flexible floor plan that can have up to three bedrooms, including the main oceanview residence and an adjacent private guest suite with its own entrance and terrace with Intracoastal Waterway vistas. Prices are from $1.1 million.

The grand oceanfront suite features a living room, family room, kitchen and breakfast room, master bedroom, convertible den and one and one-half baths. The private guest suite has a living room, bedroom and bath.

“Each Don Pietro residence is ideal for full-time or seasonal residents who expect to have visiting family or friends,” Goldstein noted. “They can occupy their main residence while their guests enjoy the privacy of a self-contained guest suite. Or they can use the guest suite for an older child, nanny or inlaw. Some people could even utilize the guest suite as a home office or hobby studio.

“The decision is totally up to you,” he continued. “Furthermore, owners will enjoy a residence that is fully and tastefully furnished, complete with pots, pans and linens. The Don Pietro is a very desirable residence and we already sold several as soon as we released them.”

“Another advantage is that these residences provide owners or hotel guests with 5-Star-quality resort living, with management by world-renowned Rosewood Hotels & Resorts,” Goldstein continued. “Residents will be offered housekeeping, 24-hour room service and valet parking. In addition, just an elevator ride way will be an 11,000-square-foot European oceanfront spa, an exclusive beach club, three swimming pools, al fresco gourmet dining and more, in a spectacular Old World setting reminiscent of Italy.”

Acqualina will join the select properties within the esteemed Rosewood collection such as The Carlyle in New York, The Mansion on Turtle Creek in Dallas, Las Ventanas al Paraiso in Los Cabos, Mexico, Little Dix Bay in the British Virgin Islands and 10 others. Rosewood properties have been highly rated over the years by AAA, Mobil, as well as by Conde Nast Traveler, Travel & Leisure, Wine Spectactor, Zagat Survey, The Robb Report and other recognizable media.

“Since its inception, Acqualina has experienced tremendous success and been a seaside celebration of art, architecture and life. The new Don Pietro floor plan contributes to the diverse product mix that will be featured within the Acqualina tower Ninety-five percent of all residences offered in the 51-story tower have been sold since November 2000. Construction is under way and completion of the palatial landmark is slated for Spring of 2004,” Goldstein concluded.

Acqualina is presented by The Trump Group, developers of Williams Island in nearby Aventura, where they built and sold more than 1,700 luxury condominium residences to discerning buyers from all over the world. As a result, Acqualina owners may access Williams Island golf, tennis and deepwater marina accommodating yachts up to 165 feet.

As a sell-out approaches, in addition to the Don Pietro condominium hotel residences, other select opportunities to purchase remain, priced from $1.2 million to $3 million.
