SB Development announces Cove Miami in Edgewater
New York City–based SB Development has just launched sales on its first Miami project: The Kobi Karp–designed Cove Miami. Rising 40 stories above the Biscayne Bay waterfront in Edgewater, the property will feature 116 two- to four-bedroom residences, with prices starting at $1.3 million. In addition to the expected luxury amenities, owners will have access to a floating dock and waterfront restaurant, and direct access to the Biscayne Bay boardwalk.
“We aim to build a sanctuary that not only attracts our buyers but also enhances the allure of this lively and highly desirable location, ultimately contributing to the area’s transformation into a hub of luxury living,” says Joseph Stern, SB Development’s cofounder. The firm, which partnered with Hazelton Capital Group on Cove, is slated to develop a billion dollars’ worth of projects in South Florida over the next five years.

Hotel Wales checks out of the Upper East Side
In New York City, construction has wrapped on The Wales, a 10-story luxury condominium breathing new life into Carnegie Hill—a structure that dates back to 1899. The building’s 87 hotel rooms have been converted into just 21 two- to four-bedroom residences with interiors reimagined by Parisian design studio Pinto.
Topping the tower is a newly constructed penthouse listed for $23 million: a five-bedroom, 4,179-square-foot paradise with a wraparound terrace and a roof deck with kitchen, wet bar, and service pantry. The NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission gave developer Adellco permission to build the penthouse, but it had to be in keeping with the original Renaissance Revival design. Even the detailed cornice, which had been taken down 80 years ago, was carefully reproduced.
Historic preservation consultants Higgins Quasebarth & Partners advised on the project. “We didn’t want to make a big design statement, but also not create a copy of what was already there,” Bill Higgins, a principal at the firm, told Forbes. “This is a simplified version.”
Elsewhere at the condo, two-, three-, and four-bedroom residences priced from $3.85 million feature herringbone oak floors, white-lacquer kitchen cabinets, and bathrooms in Bianco Carrara and Grigio Nicole marble.

Bruce Goff birthday celebration
This weekend, Tulsa, Oklahoma, celebrates the birthday of celebrated architect Bruce Goff, a native son and protégé of Frank Lloyd Wright. Goff designed more than 50 buildings in his home state—24 in Tulsa alone, including the Tulsa Club Building and the Boston Avenue United Methodist Church.
Running through June 11, the Bruce Goff birthday weekend includes tours of Goff-designed homes, as well as public art displays, the unveiling of a new mural, and a party at the Spotlight Theatre, which Goff completed in 1928. The four-day celebration also features a tour of Bartlesville’s Price Tower, the only skyscraper Wright ever designed, where Goff kept an office for nearly 20 years.
