Giralda Place — Downtown Coral Gables’ newest, mixed-use project, combining 33 residences, ground-floor retail and office space — celebrated its grand opening on May 23. The event marked a momentous occasion as the luxury development completes its residential offerings in the thriving epicenter of “The City Beautiful.”
More than 200 tastemakers, Giralda Place buyers, city officials, community leaders, and top brokers joined the development team for a sunset rooftop soiree on the sprawling, seventh-floor residential pool deck, overlooking Coral Gables’ skyline and lush treetops.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony opened the event with Francesca Valdes from the City of Coral Gables, who presented the official city seal, Coral Gables Chamber of Commerce Chair Martha de la Peña Rojas, who honored the development team with an official proclamation, and city commissioners.
Guests entered the building’s grand residential lobby adorned with custom millwork and marble detailing and were greeted by an awe-inspiring six-foot tall blossoming tree. Dazzling as the centerpiece of the indoor setting, its branches were ornamented by hanging air plants in glass terrariums ― a custom gift for attendees that symbolized the organic elements of the property.
As the evening progressed, a deejay and saxophonist set the outdoor ambiance and entertainment took center stage. An aquatic performance featuring a graceful dancer in a floating iridescent sphere, synchronized to a musical repertoire, caught attention as the water was illuminated in the 48-foot-long pool. Specialty craft-cocktails, like “Rosé All Day” and “Cucumber Collins” were presented with gourmet hors d’oeuvres, such as petit filet mignon, wahoo avocado tartare and a selection of savory ceviche.
Giralda Place’s exclusive sales and marketing team, EWM Realty International, hosted tours of the building and a contemporary multi-level model residence, featuring exceptional interior design by award-winning B+G Design Inc. and outfitting by nationally acclaimed, celebrity home organization company NEAT Method. Boasting direct access to the pool deck, the townhome collection is designed to provide residents with the optimal space for entertaining.
“We are thrilled to celebrate this milestone for Giralda Place and unveil the residential lifestyle to be afforded to our buyers for the first time,” said Cristo Brown, Giralda Place co-developer. “We are showcasing a vision that has come to life, one that surpasses the traditional notions of live-work-play offerings and provides a new way to have it all in the revitalized locale of Downtown Coral Gables.”
Encompassing an entire city block at 275 Giralda Ave., Giralda Place offers a variety of large, flow-through floor plans within one-, two-, and three-bedroom residences, as well as two-story townhomes and an extravagant penthouse. Each of the beautifully appointed condominiums boasts 11-foot ceilings in the living rooms and bedrooms, spacious private balconies, high-end kitchen appliances, premium finishes, and custom Italian cabinetry by Snaidero.
