ELLE Residences Miami is a first in every sense: the first time the world’s most famous fashion media brand has put its name on a residential tower. Rising 25 stories at 3618 NE 5th Avenue in Edgewater, the project pairs Parisian style with Miami’s home-sharing economy: 180 fully furnished, turnkey residences that owners can live in, enjoy, and legally rent short-term. Developed by Vertical Developments and Urban Network Capital Group under license from Lagardère News, with architecture by Behar Font & Partners and interiors by The One Atelier, ELLE Residences Miami targets buyers who want a design-magazine aesthetic with genuine investment flexibility.

ELLE Residences Miami: A Fashion Magazine’s First-Ever Residence
Fashion houses have branded Miami towers before (Armani, Fendi, Missoni), but a fashion media brand is new. ELLE’s bet is that its editorial authority translates into residential desirability: buyers aren’t just purchasing square footage, they’re buying into a curated aesthetic with global recognition. Whether ELLE Residences Miami’s brand premium holds at resale will be the story to watch.
Designed for the Home-Sharing Investor
Everything about the unit mix serves dual use: compact furnished plans, hotel-style services implied by the amenity deck (rooftop pool, spa, outdoor cinema, fitness lawn), and explicit short-term rental permission. For investors comparing Edgewater’s flexible-ownership options, the natural cross-shop is Edge House Miami, a larger home-sharing tower nearby, while design-driven buyers may also look at 2900 Terrace and Villa Miami. Note the shared architect with Yorker: Behar Font & Partners also designed that boutique Edgewater building.
ELLE Residences Miami lands in north Edgewater, where the pace drops a notch. Morningside Park’s waterfront lawns are the closest green, and the Design District is a straight shot west, with Mandolin Aegean Bistro ($$$) and Bunbury’s Argentinean ($$$$) as the natural date-night rotation. Daily errands run through the Publix on NE 1st Avenue and the Whole Foods on Biscayne Boulevard. Weekends can go either way: Wynwood Walls and the galleries to the southwest, or the Frost Museum of Science and PAMM downtown. Short-term rental guests get the best of both, bay mornings and gallery afternoons. Investors comparing home-sharing product should also look at Edge House Miami to the south and the luxury rental tower 2900 Terrace.
ELLE Residences Miami Frequently Asked Questions
❯ Can I rent my residence out short-term?
Yes. That is one of the project’s defining features. The residences are designed with home-sharing capability, so owners can generate income through short-term rentals when they are not using the home themselves. Confirm the final rental program terms with the sales team before reserving.
❯ What does turnkey include at ELLE Residences Miami?
All 180 residences come fully furnished and move-in ready: 9-foot ceilings, balconies, finished flooring, gourmet kitchens with Euro-style appliances, rain showers, custom vanities, washers and dryers, built-out closets, contemporary lighting, smart home systems, and keyless entry.
❯ What sizes and prices are offered?
Studios, one- and two-bedroom layouts plus a penthouse collection, ranging from 450 to 845 square feet, priced from the $500,000s. The compact, efficient plans are deliberate. They suit both personal pied-à-terre use and the short-term rental market.
❯ Who is behind the development?
Vertical Developments and Urban Network Capital Group, who acquired the half-acre site for $13.5 million, working under a licensing agreement with Lagardère News, the French media group behind the ELLE brand. Fortune Development Sales is handling sales and marketing.

The One Atelier, known for real estate collaborations with Dolce & Gabbana, Fendi Casa, and Karl Lagerfeld. The interiors are meant to channel ELLE DECOR’s editorial eye: fashionable, current, and photogenic, which also helps the short-term rental proposition.
