RESERVATION REQUEST
Stephen Starr’s hit New York brasserie Upland (uplandmiami.com) has arrived in the Sunshine State. (Score a seat at the chef’s counter to see James Beard semifinalist for Best Chef in America Justin Smillie in action.) Some say too many cooks spoil the broth, but not the men behind NYC’s The Smile: alongside Craig Robins and David Grutman, they debut the Design District’s OTL (otlmia.com), a coffee klatch and snack bar serving wholesome fare like banana quinoa muffins and basil lemonade. In Bal Harbour, celebrated chef Paula DaSilva reboots the Ritz-Carlton’s oceanfront dining room with Artisan Beach House, where her former 1500 Degrees regulars can reunite with her pork belly tacos— served here with kimchee and rice crackers. artisanbeachhouse.com Breakfast at OTL

A NOUVEL NOTION
Just when it seemed there wasn’t room for another Pritzker Prize–winner in Miami, Jean Nouvel announced the arrival of Monad Terrace, in South Beach—the starchitect’s first project in the 305. From a framed fantasy lagoon to cabinetry in mirrored glass and bronze, Nouvel is keeping close watch on all design elements. His favorite? The building’s sawtooth façade. “It’s a bit like a fish skin with scales,” he says of the semi-reflective glass that welcomes natural light and offers unobstructed views. “It’s totally private. You are completely [taken by] the site.” monadterrace.miami

PENTHOUSE PALACES
Even on swank Fisher Island, Palazzo del Sol is breaking records. One of the residential property’s three penthouses recently sold for $35 million, while another closed at $3,236 per square foot—an all-time high on the island. The amenities (from interior common areas to rooftop pools) aren’t the only reason buyers are investing. They view Palazzo del Sol’s turnkey models, designed by three very distinctive companies, as extensions of the city’s flourishing design scene. According to sales and marketing director Dora Puig, local firm Antrobus + Ramirez was a shoo-in for one of the units. “I’d been following their work, and they really nail the luxe beach house,” says Puig, who also commissioned models from Italy’s Henge and Brazil’s Artefacto. “They [all] understand that island living isn’t just flip flops.” palazzodelsol.com
