350’ of Soundfront on 12+/- Acres w/ Permits Each Lot has Room for House, Pool & Tennis

North Fork | East Marion. You remember the feeling. You’re on holiday on the coast of some Caribbean isle or on the cliff of a European town overlooking the Mediterranean. Each morning when your head leaves the pillow you know you are on vacation with broad expanses of water dotted with boats and vistas of other shores. Much closer to home, only 100 miles from Manhattan, you can recreate that feeling each and every day when you develop this very private, nearly 12 acre waterfront, meadow-like parcel composed of two 5.7 acres lots spanning 350’ along the North Fork’s Long Island Sound. With permits pending, a savvy buyer would save hundreds of thousands of dollars and months of waiting to begin construction of a significant house, waterside pool, tennis court and even a guest house for those who would undoubtedly flock to help you enjoy your grand, new estate. The low, but stable bluff, provides easy access down a gentle pebbled path to the beach from where you’ll enjoy an abundance of aquatic activities while conversation and laughter will resound around the inevitable nighttime beach fires. The property affords ample opportunity to create your own vineyard, apple orchard or a field of wildflowers through which your driveway will meander right to your front door. Only a few miles from both the ferries of Greenport and Orient Point, this well positioned property provides easy access to everything that has made the North Fork the new sought after destination. At night, go into town for dinner at one of the waterfront restaurants overlooking Shelter Island or head to one of the many vineyards for a wine tasting. But on clear evenings, eat early as you might want to get back for some of the most beautiful sunsets anywhere, as the sun seems to disappear somewhere into the Sound leaving the horizon a purplish haze.

SF Modern 8 Bedroom Pondfront Estate

Sagaponack. With a new attractive price and elements of scale and architecture that could not be reproduced in this location today, a beautifully landscaped acre on Crestview Lane along 125’ of Fairfield Pond plays host to a magnificent 14,000 SF, 8-bedroom modern estate recently completed near the ocean in Sagaponack. Masterfully scripted by Brian O’Keefe, the architect employed fundamental principles of balance, proportion, function, and beauty to synthesize classical design principles with a contemporary aesthetic. Charles Allem, principal of C.A.D International, was engaged as Design Director and Interior Designer with overall project oversight. His vision for this property was to create an experience driven by his client’s lifestyle. He established a color palette of taupe and beige punctuated by black. Charles embraced the use of natural honed materials as in bronze, stone, and leather. Complimented by hand woven linen textiles to achieve a casual sophisticated look and cohesive experience, he was able to achieve a restrained, sophisticated, and balanced residence that was both meticulously curated and eminently livable. Indeed, the drama gradually unfolds as you walk past the marble waterfall wall and through a marine -grade stainless-steel sliding door into a 9,000 SF contemporary sanctuary of wood and stone that reveals the expansive living room warmed by a fireplace. The modern Poliform designed kitchen anchors the center of the residence that flows to both the sumptuous fireplaced family room as well as the formal dining room augmented by a butler’s pantry. A bedroom suite overlooking both pool and pond completes this first floor. Upstairs the serene and privately sited master wing, with both pond and ocean views, offers luxurious onyx clad bath and dual closets. A continuous walkway, acting in the words of O’Keefe, as a “brise-soleil”, connects 4 additional bedrooms suites. Climbing from outside the second-floor office, a staircase finds the 4,600 SF roof deck, an amenity no longer permitted in this tony hamlet, offering bar, multiple seating areas and incredible 360° views out to the Atlantic and neighboring farm fields. An elevator descends to the 5,000+ SF lower level which includes screening room, recreational area, billiard room with bar, wine cellar, 2 staff suites and an entire wellness center with gym and spa that includes steam, sauna, hot tub. cold plunge and massage room. A spacious covered loggia provides for outdoor dining and the main level Foussena Grigia stone slab flooring extends out in all directions blurring the line between indoor and outdoor. And in fact, this covered patio with extensive built-in kitchen and comfortable seating overlooks the unique two-sided heated Gunite pool with a nearby sunken fire-pit framed by a stone courtyard. Elaborate landscaping by Edmund D. Hollander Design creates a verdant tableau while also forming a natural wall from neighboring properties. Amenities include a Crestron controlled environment with whole house audio, Reilly windows, Lutron controlled lighting and shades, extensive CCTV and a generator. Stunningly compelling and awaiting its next act, this incomparable and irreplaceable seaside estate is now available to preview. Exclusive. Price Upon Request WEB# 870429

@HAMPTONSREALESTATESHOWCASE

As the Labor Day holiday approaches, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the joy and beauty that the Hamptons brings us. From our beautiful beaches to the charming villages lined with great places to shop and eat. Make sure to take advantage of all the wonders the East End has to offer not only in summer, but yearround. The Hampton Classic horse show begins August 27 and runs through September 3rd, and it’s always an event worth checking out before the unofficial end of summer. To find out more about the sport behind the Classic, turn to Alice Phillips’ feature on page 54. And for recommendations on where to eat before or after the Classic, Hannah Selinger has it covered in this month’s East End Eats.

Featured on our Labor Day front cover, Flora Veitch and Kristen Suarez of Town & Country Real Estate present a modern home with sunny beach vibes in the Lanes of Amagansett. Recently redesigned by Kristen Farrell & Co., this family-centric home has an open layout that is light, airy and perfect for entertaining. A beautiful home that’s turnkey and ready for your enjoyment!

This month’s Designer Showcase features Steffen Ringelmann, who has consulted on and designed interiors for residential projects large and small, including, among others, a historic ‘kit’ home, a cottage with a retro feel, various condominiums, and a fivebedroom house, all in Montauk.

On the cover of this month’s South Florida Real Estate Showcase the Koch Team of the Corcoran Group present a beautiful Mediterranean in the estate section of Palm Beach. In this issue we take a deep dive with several leading South Florida brokers and developers to get their take on the market, which continues to show robust growth and resilience, outperforming pre-pandemic levels. Also, Skye Sherman goes shopping in Palm Beach and shares some of her insider favorites, from Worth Avenue and beyond.

Happy Labor Day and enjoy the issue!

MARSHOUSE

Lots of Hamptons house are modern in style, but few were designed by a genuine modernist architect as distinguished as Hamilton Smith, a partner of Marcel Breuer. Decades ago, Smith created a flat-roofed house on stilts for himself. The rectangular, minimalist, open plan house, which seems to float about the marshy land leading to the harbor in Springs, couldn’t be built today. 180 views of the water can be

enjoyed from inside or outside the house; just doors away from Pollock-Krasner House, these views also inspired Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner in their day. In this area, the light changes constantly, creating reflecting pools in the water, while birds and other wildlife are abundant.

Today, the house is owned by well-known garden architect Edwina von Gal. She’s designed landscapes for Calvin Klein, Ina Garten, Larry Gagosian, Cindy Sherman, Richard Meier and Richard Serra. Von Gal’s ethos is natural and sustainable designs, especially avoiding the use of toxic chemicals. When she purchased the property in 2004, she was only the third owner.

There are 4.63 acres of land in two parcels; one of 1.78 acres closer to the road with an original three-bedroom, two-bathroom cottage, now used as a guest house, and the rest of the land

by the main house and a protected estuary.

Interested in being the fourth owner of the house? Von Gal loves the place but wants a new project; accordingly, her “Marshouse” (Marsh plus House) has been listed for $11.5 million with Lori Schiaffino at Compass

WE LOVE A CHARMING OLD BARN

Old farm buildings are cherished out here for the sense of history and interest they bring to the landscape. One, dating from 1870, was moved to a peaceful area of Amagansett, and then adapted into a charming house. With four bedrooms and three bathrooms set in 2,500 square feet, the property is available via Peter Huffine at Corcoran

But that’s not all, folks! Set on 0.56 of an acre, the property includes a good sized 48 by 16 pool, not to mention a legal studio/guest house, which are hard to come by these days. The renovated house offers a dramatic triple-height great room with copious fenestration, a hand-crafted exposed brick fireplace, and all the irreplaceable details of an old structure. Of the four bedrooms, one is a first floor master. There’s open space dining into the kitchen, which sport a bevy of French doors that extend the interior to the outside. The

detached studio, connected by the rear terrace, is another charming shingle-clad building.

From this property, it’s perfectly easy to walk to downtown Amagansett restaurants and shops, not to mention bike to Indian Wells Beach.

BUY IT, AND THEY WILL COME

For those who only want to visit, though, there are our luxurious hotels and charming motels. They’re not building any more of them, so when they come up for sale, they command a premium price. For instance, last year the Montauk Yacht Club was sold by Gurney’s for a staggering

$149 million. Marram Montauk, a 96-room oceanfront motel, also sold last year for $77.5 million.

Now, the Capri in Southampton has been listed for sale asking $29 million. Not waterfront, but very prominent on CR 39A, the 29-room hotel and restaurant is being repped by The Cerio Natter Team at Brown Harris Stevens. Over the years, the Capri has been home to various restaurants, including Brooklyn Chop House, Pink Elephant, and Nobu. The bar and pool area are a well-known party spot with weekend DJs.

Attorneys Mark Geragos and Tina Glandian purchased the Capri in 2015 for $4.7 million. Geragos is famous or infamous for defending celebrities like Michael Jackson, as well as notorious killers such as Scott Peterson. The lawyers completely renovated the property into a high-end luxury boutique hotel, so that no work is needed for the new owners. 26 rooms are standard, while three are expensive suites. The restaurant includes 80 seats inside and 35 seats outside, plus an indoor and outdoor bar.

HAMPTON HABITUÉS

GOOD NEWS GOSSIP ABOUT OUR NOTABLE FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS BY DAWN WATSON

Ah, summer in the Hamptons. Forget the crowds, the traffic, and the sharks, for just a moment. At the end of the day, who doesn’t love a day at the beach?

We’ve had quite a spectacular season, with all sorts of exciting events, surprise celebrity sightings, and good old-fashioned fun. Art, fashion, filming, live performances, and a chance to beat the heat have brought famous faces here in droves this year.

Recently seen out and about Out East include Ben Affleck along with his much-hyped wife, Jennifer Lopez. The couple, who own a home in Water Mill, have been spotted all over the place while shopping, snuggling, cycling, and playing pickleball.

What could top that? In our opinion, there’s an even better break-the-internet pair that have turned up of late and we just love their lowkey movie hang vibe. East Hampton’s Steven Spielberg and Amagansett’s Paul McCartney were snapped at the East Hampton movie theater while waiting in line for Oppenheimer at the end of last month. Apparently, the pair have been friends for decades. That’s cool.

And then there’s The Summer I Turned Pretty’s Christopher Briney, who turned up to cut a rug

at Mulford Farm for Ralph Lauren’s big Dinner in the Hamptons. Amazing.

And we have to mention that Misty Copeland, Lauren Graham, Paulina Porizkova, Ryan Serhant, and Neil deGrasse Tyson all came to share their stories at Authors Night. Phenomenal. Others who have made the trip Out East this season include Jay-Z, Kim Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, Paul Rudd, Billy Porter, Selena Gomez, Emma Roberts, and Julianne Hough, to name a few.

For those who aren’t fortunate enough to actually live on the East End, there’s always Bravo. The network frequently features our neck of the woods, and some fairly familiar faces, in its offerings.

Most recently, we’ve spotted Luanne de Lesseps on her newest show, Luann and Sonja: Welcome to Crappie Lake. The former Sag Harbor resident also served as a guest judge this season on Project Runway Julia Fox, another oft-seen Hamptons habitue, also guest-starred on that program recently.

And then there are the de rigueur Real Housewives franchise annual trips to the Hamptons. That just happened in episode two, in the standard shocking fashion, of The Real Housewives of New York reboot. In addition to showing off the local scenery, viewers got a frontrow seat to yet another room assignment spat, as well as insider views of the Sag Harbor houses of Erin Lichy and Jenna Lyons. As guilty pleasure as it all might be, we have to admit that it is fun to see inside the homes of these infamously feisty females.

Whilst on the subject, we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention And Just Like That. In addition to having three out of the four OG series stars — Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kim Cattrall — all being East End residents at one time or another, season two also prominently features some big-time South Fork talent. Of note are Candice Bergen, formerly of East Hampton; Peter Hermann, currently of East Hampton;

East End regular Mario Cantone; and Drew Barrymore of Sagaponack. That’s fun.

Then there’s the scenery that features our local talent. We’re super excited to share that Bridgehampton’s Alex Guarnaschelli has been green-lit for season two of Ciao House. The Food Network series, shot on-location in Tuscany, will resume production later this year. Yummy!

Lastly, another season has also been ordered for The Black Hamptons. That BET+ miniseries is currently in production and will pick up where it left off, with the Johnsons and the Brittons squaring off over real estate, money and social pecking order. Perfect.

THE HAMPTON CLASSIC

UNDERSTANDING THE SPORT BEHIND THE EVENT

BY ALICE PHILLIPS

It’s Labor Day, the end of another fabulous Hamptons summer. And August has been glorious: sunny, hot, beach days leading into cooler evenings filled with post-beach activities. As summer comes to a close, Hamptonites look forward to that last week leading into Labor Day – and the Hampton Classic!

From a small, local horse show started at the beginning of the last century, the Hampton Classic has grown into a large, glittering event filled with stars, celebrities, parties and galas – for some, it can slip the mind that the parties happen in support of the underlying equine sporting event, which includes show jumping as well as hunter/ jumper and equitation competitions.

Officially, the Hampton Classic is an FEI 5* and 2* show jumping competition. FEI is short for Fédération Équestre Internationale, the worldwide governing body for equestrian sports. The modern-day Olympics began in 1896; the equine sports of jumping, dressage and eventing were included in the Olympics in 1912. The inclusion of equestrian events in the Olympic Games and the rapid development of the sport worldwide made it clear that internationally recognized rules supervised by a world governing body were essential. To this end, the equine organizations of Belgium, Denmark, France, Italy, Japan, Sweden, Norway, and the United States formed the FEI in 1921. Headquartered in Lausanne, Switzerland, the FEI oversees competition rules, professional conduct, equine health and wellbeing; the FEI is the only Olympic governance organization that

oversees humans as well as animals.

Showjumping at the Hampton Classic is governed by the FEI rules, and it is both a *5 and a *2 event. The specific star (*) designates both the height of the jumps, the required speed the horse must travel over a course and the total prize money offered –the higher the star classification, the higher the jumps, the faster the round and the bigger the prize money. 5* means that the jumps are 1.6 meters and higher – which equates to 5.25 feet with minimum prize money of $575,400 and a time allowed of 400 meters per minute; *2 is up to 1.45 meters or 4.75 feet, prize money of $57,500 – $172,999 and time allowed of 350 meters per minute. If the prize

money allocation amounts seem a bit strange, it’s because they are calculated in Swiss francs and then converted to US dollars. Swiss watchmaker Longines is the official timekeeping partner for all FEI events; additionally, Longines keeps rankings of the top showjumpers in the world, many of whom will be appearing in this year’s Hampton Classic. This year’s finale, the Hampton Classic Grand Prix, is an FEI *5 event and will take place on Sunday, September 3 in the Grand Prix Ring. The purse is $425,000!

In addition to FEI events, there are other showjumping classes with prizes up to $30,000; each horse and rider must register for the class

and pay the entrance fee, which can range from $50 to $500. Each class will have a set time allowed to complete the jumping course, which is a series of jumps, fences, obstacles and water features designed to test the skill of both the horse and rider. Jumper classes are scored objectively based solely on the horse’s athletic ability over fences as measured by time. A jumper’s only job is to clear all the fences in the course as quickly as possible without incurring any faults. A horse incurs faults for each mistake made: 4 faults for each rail knocked down, 4 faults for every refusal, and 1 fault for every second over the maximum time allowed to negotiate the course. The horse with the least amount of faults and the fastest time wins. Jumper

courses, which are technical in nature and typically consist of 12-16 jumps, require strategic riding in addition to a swift pace.

Showjumping is only a part of this weeklong equine extravaganza. Each competition is called a “class”, and there are over 80 classes scheduled for this year’s Classic. And not all classes are showjumping classes – there are other classes called “Hunter” or “Hunter/Jumper” and “Equitation”. “Hunter/ Jumper” is made up of two disciplines: Hunter and Jumper. Different classes for different skill levels are judged by equine professionals, scoring a horse and rider upon training, form, presentation and other factors. The origin of the Hunter discipline can be found in the sport of foxhunting where horse and rider galloped over miles of countryside with varying terrain negotiating natural obstacles (fences, hedges, stone walls) encountered along the

way. Hunter classes test the qualities and attributes of a successful hunt horse, subjectively judging the horse’s performance over fences as well as how the horse moves between the jumps (called “on the flat”). Show hunters should possess good style over the jumps, consistent pace throughout the course, and be well behaved (known as having “quiet manners”). Hunter rounds should appear smooth and effortless to the spectator with the horse and rider working together to make the course flow from one jump to the next. Hunter courses typically consist of 8-10 jumps that are more natural and organic in form and generally lower in height than fences used in jumper classes.

While Hunter and Jumper classes judge the horse, Equitation classes judge the rider. Equitation classes are judged on the rider’s ability, form, and skill to allow the horse to perform at its best, but the horse itself is not judged at all. The types of jumps and elements that make up an equitation course can resemble those used in either hunter or jumper classes, but the judging is subjectively based on the rider’s position, style, proficiency, accuracy, use of the aids (hands, seat and legs), as well as an overall impression of complete and quiet control. Fan favorites – the children’s pony and lead line classes (where the riders are accompanied by a handler guiding the pony with a lead line) are also Equitation classes.

The full schedule of classes for the Hampton Classic is available on the website at www.hamptonclassic. com/exhibitorlist. For the most part, showjumping classes take place in the Grand Prix Ring and the Showjumping Ring; Hunter/Jumper and Equitation take place in the Anne Aspinall Ring, Hunter 2 Ring, Hunter 3 Ring and the Annex Ring.

Steffen Ringelmann has designed interiors for residential projects large and small, including, among others, a historic ‘kit’ home, a cottage with a retro feel, various condominiums, and a five bedroom house, all in Montauk.

INTERIOR DESIGNER STEFFEN RINGELMANN OF STUDIO MTK NAVIGATES THE LOCAL BUILDING TRADE WITH FINESSE

BY ALEXANDRA CROFT

When it comes to design and renovation projects, Steffen Ringelmann wears many hats. Some of them are hard (donned on site visits, when dropping in on a client’s contractor to see how the kitchen renovation is coming along). Others are soft but not squishy (such as when he counsels a client against signing another change order and explains why). Still others involve putting on a listening cap and responding with creative ideas that make eminent good sense. There’s no catchphrase to describe all the design- and renovation-related things he does. “I never know what to call to myself,” he says. “Homeowner’s rep? Advocate? Liaison? What I am, really, is another set of eyes.”

Ringelmann is all those things and more. In a previous life, in New York City, he was the creative director of a real estate investment fund with an in-house design-build firm where he managed a team of architects and interior designers and worked closely with outside contractors and project managers. Then, a few years ago, he and his family moved to Montauk. They bought an old cottage which Ringelmann renovated. He did much of the carpentry and all the design work himself. Soon after, he and his wife, Sara, acquired and refurbished a second old cottage as a vacation rental property. Once that project was complete, Ringelmann found he’d learned a great deal about the idiosyncrasies of the local building trade; whereupon he was inspired to start his Montauk-based design practice, Studio MTK.

Since then he’s consulted on and designed interiors for residential projects large and small, including, among others, a historic ‘kit’ home, a cottage with a retro feel, various condominiums, and a fivebedroom house, all in Montauk. The story behind the latter house

exemplifies the ways in which he eases projects along. The owners of that property, a young couple who loved to surf, had lived there for over twenty years. The place was deeply shabby when they bought it but the owners were disinclined to undertake a full-scale renovation.

When they began raising children, though, they realized they could not defer remodeling the place any longer. At first they considered a cosmetic renovation. Then, after they realized a more aggressive intervention was in order, they considered tearing it down. But when they mentioned to Ringelmann that if they had a magic wand, they would re-orient the twostory house by 180 degrees — spinning it around, in effect — so that the kitchen and living room gave on to the serene back of the house rather than its front (which overlooked a road), he said, “Hold on, I think you’re on to something.”

The homeowners were extremely surprised, as they thought such an idea was a pipe dream. But Ringelmann saw what they could not and helped them to communicate their ideas to the architect who drew up the plans for the renovation. Along the way, he, Ringelmann, also reviewed and refined those plans, checked in with the general contractor, and convinced the couple that they could and should install a powder room on the ground floor — a smart move that was accomplished without having to enlarge the house’s existing footprint and that also allowed them to add a full bathroom

to the primary bedroom. At a later stage of the project, Ringelmann also designed the interiors.

“I’m not an architect or a general contractor or a structural engineer,” he stresses. “I’m an interior designer with earned experience in the construction trade. And because of that, I know how to fine-tune a set of plans so that they align with the client’s vision without blowing the budget. And if the client

is tempted to make a decision that probably isn’t worth the money, I’ll make them aware of it. I also know how to communicate with contractors and architects. Very often, relationships between homeowners and people in the building industry become acrimonious because of misunderstandings. When people bring me in, I make sure that everyone’s expectations are the same so that the project never goes off the rails!”

Architecture

The Andrew Geller ‘Antler House’ is a turn-key, fully-restored luxury beach house and one-of-a- kind work of art. Designed and built in 1968, the Antler House is perhaps the most inventive and playful of all Geller’s beach houses. The heart of the home is the expansive great room with cedar-paneled cathedral ceilings, walls of glass, and an open floor plan. The perfect place for entertaining, it is perched on the 2nd floor with iconic ‘owl eye’ floor to ceiling windows, which frame and capture the sunrise, sunset, and idyllic forest views. To ensure this work of art was protected, Andrew Geller’s grandson was hired as a historic consultant for the project, working side by side with the new architect, builder, and designer. The Antler House is both a journey and a destination to celebrate, create forever memories, and even spark the imagination.

WHERE TO EAT (AND DRINK) BEFORE AND AFTER THE CLASSIC

THESE NEW SPOTS ARE EVERYTHING YOU NEED BEFORE AND AFTER THE RACES BY

It’s that time of year again: Bridgehampton’s most iconic event, the Hampton Classic, is in town, which means horses, Champagne, and, of course, plenty of appetite before and after. This year, the East End is chock-full of new and exciting restaurants that are perfect for a quick bite beforehand or a long and languorous meal after. Check out our recommendations for these new and inspired preand post-Classic bites in the Hamptons.

Amagansett welcomed Torch & Crown Brewery this year, a beer garden at Dive Bar Pizza (known for years as Best Pizza). The menu is designed to highlight the many virtues of the crisp, delicious, and ever-popular slices and pies that Dive Bar serves. With six beers available on tap, including a summer ale, multiple pilsners, a neipa, an IPA, and a lager (the brewery also serves a fruited sour in a can), Torch & Crown offers beer lovers the option to imbibe by the pint or by the pitcher. Sit down with a casual slice either before or after the formality of the Classic for some good, clean, old-fashioned beer-drinking fun.

Also to the east, Bird on the Roof, in Montauk, has opened in the space that was once a beloved breakfast spot for locals. The restaurant still serves breakfast (and lunch), but these days, guests can find lovely, locally sourced dinners there. Head there after a hot day at the Classic and cool down

with a plate of scallop crudo, amplified with citrus, chili oil, extra virgin olive oil, and cured cucumbers. The restaurant’s market fish rotates based on what’s available, and it comes served with fried leeks, polenta, mushrooms, dashi, and a shishito pepper relish. And the spicy bird cocktail, invoking the name of the restaurant, tingles with hibiscus tequila, jalapeño, agave, and lime.

Amagansett’s legendary Astro’s Pizza has seen its second reinvention since closing a few years ago. This time, Fini Pizza, a Williamsburg stalwart, has moved in, offering up slices of Sicilian-style pizza, Italian ice (a sorely underrepresented category in the Hamptons), Caesar salads, and sandwiches with flair. It’s a little bit of the New York City street slice in the ‘burbs, and whether you’re prepping for the Classic or recovering from it, this is definitely a lowkey way to dine and shine.

Replacing the storied Dockside, in Sag Harbor, is Sag Harbor Kitchen, new for 2023. Melissa O’Donnell embraces a Mediterranean ethos in her cooking, with a mezze plate, spiced vegetable kebab, Israeli salad, and more odes to the eastern side of the Med. A kitchen garden provides herbs for refreshing salads (think watermelon, Bulgarian feta, and mint

HANNAH SELINGER

as a cool and crisp antidote to a week long hot social event).

Where once stood Laurent Tourondel’s LT Burger in Sag Harbor now stands eLTacobar, where postClassic diners can enjoy lobster tacos with corn and a pineapple pico de gallo, a grilled steak taco with a pickled jalapeño and onion salsa, tacos al pastor, chili-lime shrimp tacos with lime-chipotle mayo, and even vegan mushroom tacos. A comprehensive list of specialty drinks — frozen margaritas, margarita “cocktails” (go for the watermelon tequila version), palomas, negronis — complete this fun new arrival.

And for those in the mood for a more rib-sticking meal, there is, in East Hampton, Buttero, Maurizio Marfoglia’s Italian steakhouse that has recently replaced Dopo La Spiaggia. Traditional steakhouse fare is here, from a chopped salad (called the chop chop, and teeming with cucumbers, red onion, tomatoes, roasted red peppers, blue cheese) to clams casino. There are pasta dishes available, as well as a variety of fish and fowl entrees, but the main attraction? Steak. The 38-ounce porterhouse for two, eight-ounce filet, and 14-ounce New York strip all come with a green peppercorn sauce or housemade steak sauce.

SCREENING YOUR PROPERTY FOR PRIVACY

BY ANNE HALPIN

The first step in designing a landscape for privacy is to figure out where you need to hide eyesores or provide screening for a pool or a deck or patio where you like to entertain or just relax with a good book. When you’ve determined where and what kind of privacy screening you need, consider how much space you have available for privacy plantings and what size they need to be. Towering walls of perfectly sheared privet provide privacy for many estates in the Hamptons.

Depending on how much privacy you’ll need, the architectural style of your home and property, and what landscape features are already there, you can create privacy with a formal hedge or an informal screen of plants. If you want to deter wandering wildlife or human intruders you can consider a dense, thorny barrier screen.

Another consideration for privacy screening is whether there are deer in your area and you’ll need screening they are not likely to eat. For now, privet, Leyland cypress and junipers are reasonable bets. Arborvitae used to be widely used but it’s no longer deer resistant.

You’ll also want to factor in how fast your privacy screen will grow. A plant that grows quickly will provide screening sooner than a slower growing one, but it may also grow taller than you want (Leyland cypress is an example) and cast shade where you don’t want it. A tall hedge on the south side of your property will cast a lot of shade over a lawn or garden behind it. Another consideration is how fast the plants will grow; fast growers like arborvitae will need to be replaced more often than slower growers.

In an informal screen, plants can be allowed to grow into their natural forms without a lot of meticulous shearing. The look is softer and looser. For example, privet left unsheared takes on a sort of billowy form. A screen of shrubs that do not need clipping, while it won’t be a solid wall, can offer other features such as flowers or easier maintenance. Some good informal screening shrubs that will give you flowers include viburnum, bridalwreath spiraea, rose of Sharon, summersweet (Clethra), lilacs and hydrangeas (which are an iconic flower on the East End but also deer favorites). These plants lose their leaves in winter, but if you are only here for the summer or don’t use your outdoor space in the cold season that may not be an issue for you.

Here are some plants to consider planting for privacy:

Privet — the classic hedge plant — has medium to dark green small oval leaves and can grow 12 or more feet high. Plants naturally produce white flowers with an unpleasantly sweet odor in summer, but pruning or shearing usually prevents blooming.

Leyland cypress can grow to 60 or more feet high and has a columnar upright form. It is salt tolerant, making it a good choice for screening properties

near the ocean. It’s often used in screens and informal hedges but can be sheared for a more formal look.

Junipers come in many forms from low, spreading groundcover types to the eastern red cedar which can grow up to 40 or 50 feet high. Chinese juniper comes in numerous varieties. Junipers grow best in well-drained soil with lots of sun.

Clethra, also called sweet pepperbush, sends out wands of fragrant white flowers in summer (mine is blooming now, in late July). It does well in a sheltered, partly shaded spot, and works well in an informal, shade border away from the water.

Spirea, especially bridalwreath spirea, is easy to grow and forms a tall mound 5 to 6 feet high, with graceful, arching stems. Plants are covered with clusters of tiny white flowers in spring and are lovely as an informal hedge or screen.

Rose of Sharon, a species of hibiscus, is easy to grow and can be planted in a row along a driveway, as an informal screen. Plants grow 6 to 12 feet high and half as wide, and come in a host of colors from white to shades of pink, red and even blue. Give rose of Sharon a sunny location and it can thrive in even poor soils. It does best behind a windbreak near the beach.

Hydrangea is an iconic East End flower, its ethereal blue blossoms gracing many properties. It’s lovely in a screen planting as long as you can keep deer off your property. Plants do best in full sun to light shade, away from the beach or protected behind a windbreak.

HOLIDAY HOUSE HAMPTONS WOWS WITH INNOVATIVE INTERIOR DESIGN

BY HEATHER BUCHANAN

Fans of interior design were able to enjoy the best of the best under one stylish roof for the Holiday House Hamptons in Bridgehampton. Top designers each decorated a room for the Summer 2023 Designer Showhouse which raised funds for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation and the Southampton Ellen Hermanson Foundation. Founder and

breast cancer survivor Iris Dankner was joined at the showhouse opening benefit by co-chairs Kenneth Alpert, Campion Platt, Andrea Stark and Ashley Stark. Philanthropist Jean Shafiroff served as the honorary chair for the evening.

The stunning modern property which is for sale through James Peyton of The Corcoran Group and

Thomas Cavallo of Douglas Elliman Real Estate saw a beehive of activity as numerous designers imagined and executed their visions for each of their individual rooms and spaces including art. Think directing a three-ring circus with numerous ring masters all directing contractors and furniture deliveries at the same time. For designers they get to display their decorating talent and connect with current and potential future clients. Some like Cynthia Walker of CLW Design even commissioned custom pieces for her room, a chic bedroom with a custom bed and suede rug from Jim Zivic Design.

The event was presented by BJC Custom Home Builders, Corcoran and Douglas Elliman, and featured the talents of designers including Amy Storm & Company, Ashley Stark Home, Barbara Ostrom Associates, Bjorn Bjornsson Interior Design, Blake and Emily Interiors, Brianna Scott Interiors, Campion Platt, CLW Interiors, Collette Home, Elizabeth Dow Home, Elsa Soyars Interiors, Fish Row Designs, Gil Melott Studio, Kim Radovich Interiors, KRID Studio, Lola Tucker Interior Design, Melanie Roy Design, Mina Lisanin, New Age Interiors, Riki Wagh Design x Neil Kerman Artist, Siriano Interiors and Tamara Hubinsky Interiors.

When asked what the biggest challenge is in putting together the showhouse Dankner says, “The biggest challenge in putting together the showhouse is figuring out where to place each designer. I take a lot of pride in creating a cohesive showhouse year after year so I do a lot of research into the designers we select to figure out whose styles will work best near each other. As with all showhouses, our designers like to think outside the box and create rooms that are unique and unexpected. I love to let them express themselves creatively as long as there is a cohesive flow throughout the house. The best compliment is when visitors say the house is so livable, they could just move right in!”

And what is the greatest reward? Dankner comments, “The greatest reward is to see how much our organization grows with each passing year. When I first started out, I had to beg companies and designers to be involved and now they are knocking on my door. It is a dream come true to have created this event that combines my love of interior design and fundraising, and which has granted me the ability to donate over $2 million dollars towards breast cancer research over the last 15 years.”

ARF GETS A NEW CAMPUS AND NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

BY ALICE PHILLIPS

In 1974, three intrepid, animal-loving Hamptonites joined forces to create the The Animal Rescue Fund – more familiarly known as “ARF” – to help homeless and abandoned cats and dogs, many left behind after the summer season ended. Our Hamptons community has thankfully changed since then, and over the past half century, ARF has helped more than 30,000 cats and dogs with lots of love and compassion, as well as food, shelter, medical care and training for the express purpose of finding forever homes for these animals.

This past May, ARF dedicated its new and renovated campus called Forever Home, a project intended to ensure ARF’s future for the next 50 years. The project was more than a decade in the making, beginning in 2012 when ARF reached out to architect Richard Bacon, a specialist in the design of animal care facilities, with a view towards reconfiguring the ARF lobby, improving the catteries and creating a training facility for dogs that could be used year-round. By 2015, significant changes included converting the basement of the ARF medical building into an intake facility for rescued animals and renovations to the first floor of the same building to create a new surgery suite, x-ray room, and isolation rooms specifically for cats.

In conjunction with introducing its updated facilities, ARF introduced a new face at the helm of the organization: Kimberly J. Nichols as Executive Director. Ms. Nichols has over twenty-five years experience with nonprofit organizations, working with the most vulnerable members of our communities from domestic violence, to hospice care to community health. Ms. Nichols will oversee all departments at the newly renovated Richard Wells McCabe Welcome Center at ARF’s campus in East Hampton and the ARF Thrift & Treasure Shop in Sagaponack. “Everything in my background has brought me to this point today – helping those who are in need,” Ms. Nichols commented when asked about her past experience as it relates to her current position. “And the staff here is incredible – dedicated to doing whatever is needed, from training, to behavioral assessment to creatively meeting our animals’ needs.”

In 2020 with a “transformative” endowment gift commitment from Richard Wells McCabe, ARF launched the Forever Home Campaign to raise funds to rebuild ARF’s kennels, renovate its lobby, catteries, puppy rooms, and offices, and build a year-round training center; ARF broke ground on the project a year later. Now, in The Richard Wells McCabe Welcome Center, ARF’s adopters will be greeted in a spacious, redesigned, light-filled lobby. The space features retail, get-acquainted rooms, and new homes for small dogs and puppies. The catteries and kitten room have been completely renovated to include custom built features for climbing, perching, and play. For dogs, there is a 7,000 square foot kennel building constructed with high-quality, durable materials, sound-dampening acoustic insulation, a sophisticated HVAC system, and a nitrogenreducing waste treatment system. At every step in the design process, consideration was taken

for the well-being of the dogs and the work of staff to care for them. The building includes 36 individual kennels along with private rooms for dogs with special needs, get-acquainted rooms for adopters, and new outdoor exercise areas.

The ARF upgrade includes a new 8,400 square foot training center (called the William P. Rayner Training Center) for year-round training, socialization and enrichment for ARF’s canines, increasing ARF’s capacity to provide classes for the public and adopters in any weather at any time of the year. The building will include 40 individual kennels along with flexible rooms for dogs with special needs, meet-and-greet rooms for adopters, and new outdoor exercise areas. “This new training center is a dream come true,” shares Ms. Nichols. “Now we are not at the mercy of the weather with our training programs – and we plan to offer more and expanded training programs for adopters as well as to the general public.”

ARF is built completely on community support, volunteerism and donations. Interested in donating your time or treasure to ARF? ARF is a hub of vibrant and active volunteerism in our community, with opportunities to work at the ARF Thrift and Treasure Shop in Sagaponack, or with the animals at the new and improved East Hampton campus. For more information, visit arfhamptons.org/giving-opportunities.

Mark your calendar for ARF’s biggest yearly fundraiser, the Bow Wow Meow Ball on Saturday, August 19. On hiatus for the past few years due to the pandemic, the Bow Wow Meow Ball returns and will be held in the new William P. Rayner Training Center at 6:30 pm for cocktailing, dining, dancing and a live auction. Or join ARF for their 30th Annual Stroll to the Sea Dog Walk on Saturday morning, October 7, 2023.

54 Miankoma Lane Amagansett

HRES sat down with developer Kristen Farrell of Kristen Farrell & Co., along with exclusive agents Flora Veitch and Kristen Suarez of Town & Country Real Estate to find out more about this issue’s cover home.

HRES: Congratulations again on your 219 Sagg Main compound that was featured on our Memorial Day cover. We’re excited to talk with you about this new project of yours in Amagansett, currently featured on our Labor Day issue cover. Where do you get your ideas and inspiration from, can you walk us through your initial thought process?

KF: In this instance the location of the home has a huge impact on the design inspiration. As a family beach community Amagansett has a happy, casual summer vibe. The house speaks to this lifestyle and the aesthetic follows. The style and layout of the home is open and accommodates the family’s entertaining needs.

HRES: 54 Miankoma Lane in Amgansett is beautiful and built in 2019, designed by the talented Kristen Farrell. Can you tell us some of the standout features, and what makes it so appealing?

FV & KS: We personally love the lower level, which really functions as an additional living and entertaining space. Between the high ceilings and sliding doors that open to a blue stone patio, the lower level is very inviting. The first and second

floor get such incredible natural light as well, even on a rainy day, we call it the “happy house.”

HRES: What design style did you choose for this project and why?

KF: The family-centric environment we created means lots of casual living spaces and easy to clean surfaces, natural colored perennial fabrics and indoor/outdoor rugs layered with comfortable yet stylish furniture. The interior and exterior of the house feel seamless so every selection matters.

HRES: What type of buyer do you see being interested in this stunning home?

FV & KS: Someone that loves to be part of a community but also enjoys getting away and enjoying nature. The house it centrally located between the ocean beaches and the town of Amagansett. It has everything one may need.

HRES: You have mentioned previously to us that “details matter.” Can you tell us about some of the design details that went into this project and why?

KF: Simplicity in cleanable material finishes is one of the key themes along with high functioning spaces. Double dishwashers, porcelain tile and countertops, natural-colored floors all for the family style living. We also love a good outdoor firepit for summer nights!

HRES: What makes this Modern home a good investment in today’s market?

FV & KS: Easy question, it’s irreplaceable! If you are familiar with Hamptons real estate, you know the Lanes of Amagansett are special. Land value has continuously gone up, especially over the last few years and building a home with this level of finishes comes at a higher cost. Finding a done, turnkey, home in the Lanes is hard to come by.

THIS YEAR’S TREND: DROUGHT-RESISTANT LANDSCAPES

BY HANNAH SELINGER

One thing’s for sure: you can’t control the weather. In hot years, when the rain is not a given, having a landscape plan that doesn’t rely on irrigation or natural rainfall can ensure a beautiful looking home, no matter what nature throws at you.

Some of our favorite plants can up the ante on natural beauty without requiring too much water, should drought conditions arise.

Catmint, for instance, which flourishes in lowwater conditions and offers purple blooming flowers from summer through early fall, can grow to be three feet tall and wide. It’s also an active pollinating plant that can be useful for both planters and garden borders. Agastache is another favorite among bees, a vertical-growing plant that grows in purple and white and that thrives in dry climates and dry summers.

Salvia, which can range in colors from deep fuchsia to purple and blue, can rise to nearly three feet in height. Blooming in high summer and early fall, the plant grows great in containers and planters as well as in bordered beds.

With over 45 species — and over 450 varieties within these species — lavender is a diverse plant that offers not only beauty but also aroma. Native to the Mediterranean and Middle East, it can be used in herb gardens, as ground cover, and in cutting gardens. Certain species of the plant (though not all of them) are edible, and the fragrant, pretty, late-summer bloomer is resistant to long periods without rain.

Hen and chicks, the rosette-shaped succulents that grow easily on rocky paths, grow happily in areas with lots of sun and poor soil. Plant them on pathways or near full-sun stone walls for a laissezfaire approach to your beautiful garden. And, for a pop of color, consider Yarrow, a long-blooming perennial that blooms in pink, white, and yellow all summer long. Yarrow can be planted as ground cover, as edging, or even in a vegetable or herbgarden, and can also be used for an eco-friendly

lawn alternative for those looking to move away from more traditional green grasses.

Aromatic rosemary, a perennial that loves full sun and well-drained soils, prefers dry conditions and can be used to add oomph in the kitchen, too. If you expect a particularly cold winter, cover it with burlap to protect it from the elements. (Potted plants can come indoors.)

And although Russian sage may smell like the culinary variety, it’s actually a decorative version; this blue-toned perennial can survive a lack of water (and even cold temperatures). Add creeping thyme to the mix, which produces tiny purple and white flowers and thrives in even shadier corners of the yard as ground cover, and you have your bases covered for the pillars of some of the more familiar savory garden scents.

And don’t forget: even if you do happen to have a rainy summer — this year, next year, or the year after that — planting your garden with droughtresistant plants is a great way to conserve water, an ecologically sound approach to making your home and garden the best and brightest it can be.

VACATIONING ITALIAN STYLE

BY BEVERLY STEPHEN

If life gives you lemons, make Limoncello. Or lemon granita, or lemon pasta, or ceramic lemons, or lemon Christmas decorations. Italy’s Amalfi coast, stretching some 30 miles between Sorrento and Salerno, is one of the most stunningly beautiful places on earth which, of course, is the main reason you go there. But you can’t help but admire the remarkable Amalfi lemons, some almost as large as grapefruit, and the ingenuity of the local population for finding so many uses for their abundant crop. Its moderate Mediterranean climate encourages the growth not only of lemons but also limes and oranges. A wealth of other produce and the freshest seafood make it a gastronomic paradise as well as a scenic wonder protected as a UNESCO World Heritage site.

You will be astonished by the jaw dropping cliffs plunging down to the sea and wonder how in the world the locals managed to build all those pastel and terra cotta-colored villas appearing to dangle off the mountainsides.

Sorrento and Positano are the main jumping

off points for ferries to the magical island of Capri. Visitors tend to have a favorite town for a home base although travel is relatively quick between on the SITA buses which rival the thrill of Disney’s Magic Kingdom rides as they wend their way along the narrow coastal road. Gore Vidal so loved Ravello he stayed for 30 years. I preferred the tiny village of Praiano between Positano and Amalfi because it has no mass throngs of tourists. Its San Gennaro church, with its majolica tiled dome, is one of the loveliest I’ve seen in Italy and yet it rarely has visitors. It has the most remarkable floors with inlaid tiles featuring peacocks and golden sunbursts.

“Oh yes, my father did the tiles,“ says Domingo, a manager at the Tramonto d’Oro hotel, my home base for a few days, which actually felt like home because of the friendly staff. Domingo added, “My father is the brother of Carmela” (the hotel owner). Some evenings Carmela might have her elderly mother Teresa in tow or Domingo’s wife will show up with their infant underlining the homey atmosphere of their 72-year-old familial

enterprise. Head waiter Giuseppe has been on staff for 45 years. And Gennaro the bartender makes glorious cocktails such as an Aperol Spritz garnished not only with an orange slice but also an imposing orange leaf and he likes to get creative sometimes flavoring a gin and tonic with basil instead of lime. (note to Gennaro: stick with the limes.)

The hotel has 38 rooms, each different. Those with the best and fullest sea views naturally command the highest price. A staircase of 400 steps (yes, 400!) leads down to the beach. The restaurant is world class and its breakfast buffet replete with pastries, cakes, and fresh fruits is fit for a king. It offers cooking classes as do many of the hotels in the region. There are a handful of other restaurants and hotels in the tiny village of 2,000.

One makes day trips to Amalfi to tour its Limoncello factory or visit the magnificent cathedral, to Positano for its charming labyrinthine streets filled with lemon themed ceramic shops, smart restaurants, and fashionable boutiques. Or to Ravello

Amalfi Coast

Photo: Giuseppe Milo

for its beautiful gardens and villas, imposing duomo, and renowned classical music festival. You might also want to visit the nearby ruins of Pompeii, the ancient Roman city that was buried by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 A.D.

The area is a paradise for serious hikers who like to walk the 4.7 mile Path of the Gods or climb from seaside Amalfi to Ravello “on top of the world” or descend from Ravello to Minori where Stanley Tucci interviewed the pastry chef concocting lemon delights with piles and piles of lemon infused cream in his “Searching for Italy” series.

There is also some water taxi service available and private boat tours are easily arranged. The ferry to Capri can sell out if not booked early. April and May as well as September and

October are considered the best months to visit although it was still a bit chilly in late April and not yet swimming weather. Crowds of tourists were already overwhelming the square in Amalfi and there was frequently standing room only on the packed buses. At the end of the day I found it refreshing to retreat to quieter Praiano by Aperitivo time. Aperitivo is a charming Italian custom for setting aside time in the early evening for a cocktail, such as an Aperol spritz (equal parts Aperol and Prosecco with a splash of soda) and a snack before a later evening meal. Olives, potato chips, little chicken or Caprese skewers, cheese or cured meats are among the most common snacks.

The closest point of entry with international flights is Naples and many visitors plan a combined Naples/Amalfi Coast vacation. (It’s also possible to visit Rome for a week instead.)

From Naples, it’s most expedient, although expensive, to hire a car service. It is possible to get a train to Sorrento and take a bus or car service from there but rather cumbersome with luggage. Only the most intrepid are brave enough to rent a car and drive themselves. Whatever it takes, make sure you go. The special coastline along the Tyrrhenian Sea has been captivating visitors since ancient Roman times.

“The Mover of Choice”

SOUTH FLORIDA MARKET REMAINS STRONG HEADING INTO FALL

BY ALICE PHILLIPS

The Perigon, Miami Beach

The second quarter of 2023 has come and gone in a flash; still the South Florida marketplace continues to see a surge in domestic and international wealth migration, as homebuyers from high-tax, high-density states relocate and purchase prime properties of $1 million and up. The region’s real estate market is unique due to the significant number of cash transactions and the high rate of migration. The housing market in South Florida, particularly in Miami-Dade County, continues to show robust growth and resilience, outperforming prepandemic levels. According to the April 2023 statistics released by the MIAMI Association of Realtors (MIAMI) and the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) systems, the market is leading the nation in real estate appreciation.

For a more in-depth understanding of the strength of the South Florida markets (both macro markets and local micro markets), Hamptons Real Estate Showcase turned to a number of industry professionals for some insight on the following questions:

HRES: What’s in store for the balance of the 2023 market in South Florida?

Candice Friis, located in the Delray Beach office

of Corcoran, believes that the outlook for the balance of 2023 appears promising. “With prices continuing to surge, strong employment numbers, and easing inflation concerns, the worries of a recession seem to be subsiding,” shares Ms. Friis. “The market’s strength can also be attributed to other factors, including the region’s attractive lifestyle, favorable tax environment, and sustained demand from luxury buyers.”

Kevin Condon, with Sotheby’s International Realty, speaks to the issue as it relates specifically to the Palm Beach area. “The market in South Florida especially for Palm Beach will continue to remain strong throughout 2023 and into 2024. While sales volume and number of transactions have declined compared to this time last year, property values are still remaining high due to limited inventory. The wealth migrating out of California and New York continues to bring buyers relocating their families and businesses to our area. While these trends continue, property values will remain strong.”

Also weighing in on the strength of the Palm Beach micro market, John Cregan of Sotheby’s Cregan Team agrees that housing demand in the Palm Beach area market is always driven by out of state buyers. “Many are vacation home buyers,”

Mr. Cregan explains, “but for the more expensive properties and single family homes, our buyers are typically refugees from high-tax/cold weather states taking up permanent residence….That provides a floor under Florida prices and we think sales activity will pick up again once our buyers tie up their summer travels.”

The Perigon is a new beachfront development of luxury condos in Miami Beach. Philip Freedman, director of sales for The Perigon, concurs that the South Florida marketplace – particularly Miami Beach – will continue on an its current upward trajectory. “More and more, buyers and investors alike continue to be bullish and are contributing to South Florida’s success as more companies expand into the market and fuel its growth.”

Specifically, Mr. Freedman speaks to the success of his development project. “The Perigon has seen tremendous success with sales, year to date, with strong activity from domestic buyers in the first half of the year. Typically, activity slows down in the summer season, but our project has been performing well which is a true testament to the valuable long-term investment this offering represents to our buyers.”

HRES: What about supply? There has been a reported lack of supply for at least the last 6-8 quarters. Do you see the lack of supply as one of the factors propping up the strong South Florida market?

John Cregan leads off, stating that while housing supply remains historically low, the market has seen a bit of an increase since the pandemic. “We’ve had a pretty good bounce-back from our supply lows. Condos and single-family home listings are roughly double the numbers of late 2021/early 2022 listings, though still only about half the normal pre-Covid supply.”

“Yes, our supply still remains well below prepandemic inventory levels,” confirms Kevin Condon. “The last two quarters we have seen inventory increasing giving buyers in the market

more options to consider but the lack of supply is definitely one variable keeping prices up.”

And what’s changing for the better because of the increase in supply? Negotiability. “We are seeing some negotiability off the asking price and more favorable terms written in the contract. The balance of power has equaled out between buyers and sellers,” shares Condon.

However, the Cregan Team adds a proviso: “We’d also note supply is not evenly distributed. We had a busy season of sales in Palm Beach’s better condo buildings. And superhigh-end waterfront houses sold easily, no matter the price. Where there’s very good availability is in the middle of the marketthe nice family home in a good neighborhood. That holds true everywhere from Palm Beach’s North

“Whether it’s new construction or renovations, demand for South Florida property is stronger than it’s ever been,” states Jon Paul Perez, the President of Related Group, which is based in Miami and is Florida’s largest developer and one of the country’s largest Hispanic-owned businesses. “There are locals who are opting to sell their Miami home in order to upgrade to a bigger residence or enter a new neighborhood. We’re also seeing out-oftowners come and purchase a residence they plan to grow into. No matter how you look at it, supply is tight and competition for existing listings and pre-construction units is high.

“To put it into perspective, at Related, we have more than 10 active condo projects selling right now including The Residences, Six Fisher Island; Baccarat, Brickell; Casa Bella, Downtown Miami, NoMad Residences, Wynwood; Rivage, Bal Harbour; Rosewood, Hillsboro Beach, with more set to launch later this year. Despite competing with existing inventory, Baccarat Residences Miami is approaching sell-out with other developments like Casa Bella and NoMad Residences close behind. Beyond focusing on high-end condos, Related has also made strides in the market by building best-inclass luxury rentals that have redefined markets. We capitalized on the growing demand for high-quality rentals because of a lack of supply for a sophisticated group of customers who wanted the exclusivity of a luxury condo with the flexibility and convenience of an apartment. Our formula was simple: provide

End, to SoSo and El Cid in West Palm, to Jupiter Island and Hobe Sound.”

a high-end residential experience while providing a five-star amenity package customers didn’t know was possible. Calling this new demographic ‘renters by choice,’ we seek to attract those who can afford to buy, but prefer to rent. A perfect example is Icon Marina Village, our newest elevated rental property in West Palm Beach boasting designs by Arquitectonica and interiors from V Starr, founded by tennis superstar Venus Williams.”

HRES: What about renovations? Are homeowners sitting tight and renovating in lieu of participating in the marketplace?

Candace Friis gets granular on the question of renovation/upgrade vs. purchase/sale. “Initially, property owners were hesitant to undertake renovations due to supply chain issues during the pandemic. However, the current trend is reversing as the supply chain improves. With the alleviation of supply constraints, renovating has become a viable and attractive option for homeowners looking to upgrade their existing properties and create personalized living spaces. Additionally, with higher interest and persistently low inventory renovating is a viable alternative for some while others will wait for the right property and scoop it up immediately when it hits the market regardless of interest rates as they just don’t want the hassle of renovating.”

“It depends on the scope of work that is required and the seller’s primary goal,” reports Kevin Condon. “While the supply chain is improving for taking on projects, buyers today are also looking for immediate satisfaction. As buyers are becoming more selective, sellers will take on certain projects that are quick and cost effective in order to bring their home to market in the best possible condition. Because the demand is so high and inventory is so low, it has caused some homeowners to remain in place and make those upgrades needed on their home.”

John Cregan speaks to this question as it relates to the Palm Beach micromarket. The materials, contractor and subcontractor bottleneck seems to be easing. There’s still high demand but availability is improving. We don’t often see homeowners here renovate to fill a need – instead they tend to trade up and there were a lot of Palm Beacher to Palm Beacher swaps this season….More often, renovations

get taken on by new buyers or speculators looking to fix and flip. We’ve also seen owners of older homes choose to sell ‘as is’ and move to the fabulous new luxury condos on the West Palm Beach waterfront like La Clara and The Bristol.”

HRES: Can the strength of the South Florida real estate market be tied to all of South Florida as a whole? Or just certain micro markets? If so, which micro markets are supporting the balance of the market in general?

South Florida is nuanced, and the market can’t be generalized to the entire region,” answers Philip Freedman. “Coastal Florida, like The Perigon’s perfectly positioned location between the sands of Miami Beach and expansive Biscayne Bay with views of the Miami skyline, is the strongest market of them all, and where prices have remained consistent or increased. Both the east and west coasts continue to see greater demand in the luxury market because of the limited oceanfront property available. As a result, we’ve seen an overall increase in price coupled with an increase in transactions.”

Candace Friis concurs. “Absolutely, the strength of the South Florida real estate market can indeed be attributed to a combination of both the region as a whole and certain micro markets within it. South Florida is a diverse area with distinct neighborhoods offering unique dynamics, architectural styles, amenities, and water access. These differences

contribute to the creation of various small micro markets, each catering to different preferences and lifestyles. From bustling urban areas to serene waterfront communities, South Florida has something for everyone, making it an attractive destination for a wide range of buyers. The beauty of the real estate market lies in its ability to accommodate diverse needs, allowing individuals to find their perfect home in the micro market that resonates with their lifestyle and desires.”

Jon Paul Perez is very bullish. “South Florida has firmly established itself as one of the most desirable real estate markets in the nation, and its popularity shows no signs of waning, even as other regions experience a cooling off. The secret to its allure lies in several key factors driving its appeal. Firstly, the region’s irresistible tax benefits make it a top pick for both buyers and investors, creating a win-win situation for all. Additionally, the stable economy, fueled by continuous job growth, further bolsters its appeal as a prime real estate market in the nation.

Beyond financial perks, South Florida offers an enchanting lifestyle with its world-class beaches, vibrant cultural scenes and a dining scene that’s second to none. Outdoor enthusiasts are spoiled for choice with an abundance of activities, making it a dream destination for those seeking luxury and enrichment.”

Hamptons Real Estate Showcase spoke with The Koch Team from Corcoran’s Palm Beach office to find out more about the beautiful Mediterranean estate that they’re currently featuring on this issue’s South Florida Real Estate Showcase cover. This spectacular home is located in the heart of Palm Beach within close proximity to the ocean and is perfect for entertaining.

Can you tell us about some of the outstanding features of this property and what makes this home so appealing?

120 Clarendon Avenue is a spectacular Mediterranean home located in a prime area, the Estate Section, and is close to Worth Avenue where there is great shopping with high-end boutiques and amazing restaurants. The house comes with deeded beach access and is just under 13,000 square feet and sits on 3/4 of an acre, which is considered a large lot in Palm Beach.

What type of buyer do you see for this beautiful home?

The buyer for this home could be a young, growing family or someone looking for a family compound. The house has 8 bedrooms including a 2-bedroom guest house and plenty of outdoor space for entertaining and for the kids/grandkids to run around.

Would you say that this property is a good investment for today’s market?

It’s a wonderful investment at this price point where there are very few quality properties available, especially in the Estate Section. The home is priced at $2,828/foot which is a good value for Palm Beach and will allow a new owner to put their personal stamp on the property.

Anything else about this property that you would like our readers to know?

The home has a modern floorplan with an open

kitchen/family room area, library/office, VIP downstairs guest suite, and comes with many bells and whistles including a chef’s kitchen, 4 car garage (a rarity), a Savant system, outdoor kitchen, elevator, full house generator, and hurricane impact windows/doors. It’s a must see!

We’re situated just outside of Sag Harbor and have loved being close enough to some of our favorite restaurants and the boat in the marina, while also having proximity to friends, the town, and the beaches in East Hampton. Going out on the water around Haven’s Beach, North Haven, Major’s Cove/Harbor, West Neck cove,

and all over Shelter Island is a favorite, as are day trips to Montauk to grab lunch at Duryea’s or to Bridgehampton for a glass of wine at Wölffer. We love visiting all of the farm stands, especially the ones in Sagaponack, Balsam, Amber Waves, and Round Swamp. Another favorite destination of ours are the Khalily (formerly Campbell) Stables in Bridgehampton!

The South Florida real estate market has been on a hot streak for a while, how is the inventory? Any listings you have right now that you want our readers to know about? Inventory is fine overall as long as you can truly access the off-market, not just through our own direct clients but also through positive and collaborative relationships within the brokerage community. For almost all of our clients right now, we can show them up to 5+ strategic options for most criteria sets, which is enough to give people a strong grouping of choices without being overwhelmed with information, which can lead to indecision and soften a market if the perception is that it’s “too available”.

Since 2021, we have transacted over 33% of our properties in the off-market and this is a testament not just to productive communication with our colleagues, but also our own internal portfolio and rolodex. Almost all of our portfolio at this time of year is private and off-market, since we’re still in the Palm Beach off-season for a few more weeks. We don’t like putting properties on the market when Buyers aren’t in town to view them in person.

Our two publicly listed MLS properties include a waterfront mansion at 1125 S Ocean Blvd on Billionaire’s Row - in the Estate Section of Palm Beach Island. It’s a rare opportunity to have an annual oceanfront lease in one of the most upscale parts of town for $2.34M per year or $195,000 per month. The house comes with complimentary access to the adjacent beach club, 10,000 square feet of living space, a 20,000

Margit Brandt, Sag Harbor, August 2023

square foot lot with private enclosed pet fence, a seaside pool directly on the sand, and 8BRs/8.5BAs. In previous years, this property has scored the largest lease in Palm Beach. For those seeking to buy and looking for a mansion in the sky, we have an 8th floor unit at coveted One Watermark Place, asking $8.999M. It offers great views of Palm Beach Island, the ocean, and the Intracoastal, plus an unbeatable location just steps to everything — while also boasting air-tight security.

But these two listings probably represent only 20% of our exclusive inventory right now, so it’s best to connect directly to fully review the options.

What type of Properties in the Palm Beach area are in high demand, at the moment?

The two types of properties that are really standing out to my clientele are either a) big economic opportunities where there is a runway to renovate or build new, take advantage of broader fiscal headwinds on the buy-side, and create longterm equity, and b) extremely large and turn-key properties priced above $20M, often houses 7,000+ square feet with 6BRs+, multiple structures (pool or guest house), sometimes gated, and 15,000-20,000+ square foot lots. In other words, we either have local investors who want a “deal” and are willing to put in the work (time, money, headache) to add strategic value, or we have relocating families who want something that checks all of their boxes immediately without having to lift a finger. So there are a lot of professional real estate investors in the market and a lot of buyers seeking instant gratification; in fact the marriage of those two groups has been a big part of how Palm Beach went from a $1BN per year to $4BN per year market over the past 5 years.

Many of our clients are readjusting their lifestyles, moving their corporate offices and kids schools to South Florida for residency benefits, while also keeping secondary homes in Aspen, the Hamptons, Greenwich, or Nantucket. For many of the constituents in this group of people, the interest in moving to Palm Beach is strong as long as they can find a big enough property, with enough bedrooms for the whole family, often detached guest houses, and enough lot size where they don’t feel like they are downgrading too much in size from other markets where land is much cheaper.

Some of the markets our Buyers are matriculating from have an average PPSF between $500-$1,500 PPSF, so people have to find opportunities in Palm Beach that are comfortable enough for it to make sense – especially in a market that is often $2,500-

$3,500 PPSF and up. To accommodate this, many of our Buyers are consolidating assets in other locations to achieve the Palm Beach outcome they want. This makes sense especially if you’ve decided to spend 8-9 months a year in Palm Beach, if your office and kids are both in West Palm Beach now, and when you factor in the tax savings over a 5+ year horizon.

Any wisdom you can give someone who is looking to relocate to the Palm Beach area? You want to be selling when everyone else is buying and buying when everyone else is selling. In that regard, especially compared to the past two years, this is a relatively favorable market to be a Buyer in Palm Beach because there are a lot more opportunities to be aggressive with your offers — as long as you can close quickly and with no contingencies.

There are a lot more win-win scenarios out there where Buyers and Sellers can meet in a very reasonable place as opposed to 2021-2022 where it was “my way or the highway” for Sellers. Showing traffic is down, offer frequency is down, and sales volume is down (by over 50%), so the bidding wars are over and this is a much more normal market where both sides can find something to be happy about in most deals.

Even with sales volume being down year over year (market could be a $3BN market in 2023 versus a $4BN market during 2021-2022), we still see prices remaining very stable and in most cases actually trickling up. For example, the market was hitting a $3,000 PPSF during COVID and many thought

it would stabilize around there, but over the past few months we’ve actually seen average pricing go up to $3,300 PPSF, a 10% increase, as it pertains to new products and renovated inventory. In fact, some deals have clocked in at $3,500-$4,500 PPSF non-waterfront

It’s also important to remember that Palm Beach is a seasonal market. So, if you’re sitting in the Hamptons and reading this in August or September, the time to strike on a Palm Beach purchase is before the Holidays at the end of the year.

Generally speaking, Palm Beach is maxed out on population in January-April and that just means that when you go look at a house, chances are 5 other families looked at it that same week as well — so we tend to encourage people to be aggressive over the Summer and in Q4. On the other hand, a lot of inventory often pops onto MLS in Q1, so you may encounter new options at that time - even if it means you’re going to get less of a “deal” on them.

What are some of your favorite Palm Beach hot spots?

We love Le Bilboquet, which is a place we can also go year-round considering the great Sag Harbor location on the Long Wharf. We also like Imoto, Pizza Al Fresco with the kids, Cafe L’ Europe, Sant Ambroeus for coffee (also love the East Hampton location), and the Colony Cafe for smoothies.

As you transition wardrobes and prepare for season, shop these Palm Beach boutiques for frocks that will have you feeling like the cream of the crop.

LILLY PULITZER

No clothing line captures the spirit of Palm Beach quite like the home-grown brand of Lilly Pulitzer. This Worth Avenue flagship store has all the printed resort wear and beachwear the modern woman could want in a delightful setting complete with palm-shaded courtyard, vintage memorabilia, and even a shell fountain. If you’ve got plenty of ladies’ luncheons on your calendar this season, design your own shift dress in-store for the ultimate conversation-starter.

C ORRICO PALM BEACH

This beloved local shop on South County Road, a favorite street for off-Worth shopping, perfects the Palm Beach preppy look with a wide selection of items from a variety of approachable ready-to-wear labels. Whether you’re looking for the latest wedge from Camilla Benedetti or a colorful, brightly printed maxi dress to perfect that effortless Palm Beach look, you’ll find what you’re looking for at C Orrico Palm Beach.

55 CROISETTE

Not quite finished with summering in the South of France? 55 Croisette on Worth Avenue is the next best thing. Opened in 2012 by a couple from Cannes, this chic boutique stocks a carefully curated range of women’s apparel, swimwear, and sandals from European collections like

Givenchy, Stella McCartney, and Alexander Vauthier. It’s the perfect wardrobe to carry you from there to here.

MAX MARA

A BEAUTIFUL MIND

THE FINE ART OF IRINA ALIMANESTIANU BY

Irina Alimanestianu channels both the seen and the unseen through her captivating art. She explains, “I want to have a mix of subconscious and conscious which allows more breathing space and also allows others to enter their own way.”

Her themes have almost Jungian connotations, from her “Archetypes” to “Animism” to “Gods, humans and limbs.” She asks questions such as, “Where is my place in the world and how do we relate to the universe? What are the things that hold us together?” Alimanestianu has been very interested in the notion of shape and how we respond to it, something she honed from her family of architect and builders. This can start literally with primordial ooze, although the most gorgeous ooze you have ever seen, to more representational works. She is not one to swim in only one lane, expanding the subject and scope of her work and now moving into collages.

After earning her MBA from Columbia, Alimanestianu found she wasn’t engaged in her business career and started taking classes in art when her sons were young. She received her MFA in painting from Claremont Graduate University in California and honed her successful craft on the West Coast before moving back East where she grew up.

She found a home in Southampton in 2021 during the pandemic and transformed the primary bedroom to a huge, light-filled studio which opens onto fantastic gardens filled with hydrangea, roses, and lilies, in all sorts of shapes and colors. These are

HEATHER BUCHANAN

reflected in her beautifully vibrant works, done in water-based oils or washes and watercolors where she mixes her own colors. Even her paint palette is a work of art. “Nature definitely affects me,” she says “When I was in my LA house you could see the ocean and blue was predominant in my work. Now I am going into very different colors.” Luckily, she inherited her vibrant garden in Southampton from the previous owner as she admits with a smile, “I came from an environment of cacti to this.”

Aside from the color and composition Alimanestianu’s work has an energy that makes her images ones you want to live with and have a continuing conversation. When asked how she would describe the energy she says, “It’s my happy place – even if it can be frustrating. There is a certain amount of wonder.”

She recently had an exhibit in New York City at the Boffi/DePadova and relished the opportunity to interact with her viewers. “I really like when people bring something to my work. I love to hear what people are saying or thinking. They may see something I never saw.” Alimanestianu has also exhibited in the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles,

With her fantastic “room of her own” and garden like Eden, she is ready to thrive in her next chapter. “My work is about the ephemeral and yet enduring nature of existence, mapping it and marveling at it. I hope to connect people, when they look at my work, back to their sensory selves, back to a quieter place in themselves where understanding happens through feeling and sensation, intuitively.”

Kravets Wehby Gallery in Chelsea, MM Fine Art gallery in Southampton, has works at the Julie Keyes Gallery in Sag Harbor and has exhibited at The Parrish Art Museum where she was part of the prestigious Artists Choose Artists series. Her work has been purchased on both coasts as well as in Europe.
