Gemini Real Estate Advisors has acquired two new properties that will become part of its growing Jade Hotel portfolio. Set in Manhattan’s South Street Seaport area and in Miami Beach, the developments will become the third and fourth Jade properties, following the Jade Greenwich Village and Jade Bryant Park, which is currently under construction.
The seven-story Jade Hotel Seaport will feature 72 guestrooms, including 10 suites with outdoor terraces. Led by New York–based Atelier & Co., the hotel’s façade and interior will draw from the historic Seaport and Colonial Williamsburg. Antique American furniture and rich colors in the public spaces and guestrooms will inspire nostalgia, whereas modern technology and clean lines will keep the hotel feeling contemporary. The Jade Hotel Seaport, along with its bar and restaurant, will open in mid-2015.
The Jade Hotel Miami Beach is set to open in early-2016. The hotel will feature a restaurant, bar, and 70 guestrooms that overlook a courtyard and garden reminiscent of elements at Spain’s Alhambra palace. Kobi Karp Architecture, the architect of record, with design architect Atelier & Co., channels ancient Roman and Greek villas and Miami’s Art Deco buildings in the property’s design.
Currently in development, the exterior of the 114-room, 20-story Jade Hotel Bryant Park will embody Manhattan’s 20th-century skyscrapers and Neoclassical architecture. The interior will blend iconic features from Michelangelo’s San Lorenzo Basilica in Florence with mid-century furniture and décor. The hotel, which will have a restaurant, bar, and public rooftop terrace, will open in late-2015.
