Related Group hosted a groundbreaking ceremony on Wednesday, Feb. 16, for Azure, the firm’s first boutique condominium in Jacksonville Beach.
Offering 26 residences, Azure is the first oceanfront community to be developed in Jacksonville Beach in more than a decade.
“The groundbreaking of Azure marks a monumental moment for Jacksonville Beach, as it is unlike anything that can be found in the area,” said Jon Paul Pérez, president at Related. “Our residents will soon be able to enjoy the best in elegant waterfront living with unrivaled panoramic ocean views and world-class design and architecture.”
Vertical construction of the exclusive collection of residences is set to begin in the summer. The address is 1401 1st St. South, Jacksonville Beach.
With contemporary architecture by the award-winning Arquitectonica and interiors by designer CallisonRTKL, the nine-story building is expected to be seen as a work of art, with its cube-shaped structure and glistening glass façade drawing inspiration from master artist Piet Mondrian’s iconic geometric paintings.
The art motif continues throughout the property, with a museum-quality modern art collection hand-curated by Related’s team of art experts gracing nearly every room and surface, including several situated outdoors where they can be enjoyed by residents and the community alike.
Each of the 26 residences — which range from 2,400-square-foot two-bedrooms to spacious 6,500-square-foot, five-bedroom homes — are outfitted with opulent finishes, grand floor-to-ceiling windows and countless other luxurious touches.
The experience begins when residents set foot in their private elevators, which open directly into their foyers. The living and dining areas are the heart of each unit, with chef’s kitchens coming standard with Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, quartz countertops and Italian cabinetry custom-designed by Italkraft. The master suites include spa-inspired bathrooms equipped with a double vanity and free-standing tub.
Residents can reach their fitness goals at the property’s state-of-the-art fitness center, designed to accommodate a range of activities, from yoga to personal training, in an open, welcoming environment. Additional wellness-minded amenities include a steam room and a sauna, as well as a massage room for on-demand services.
Al fresco living is made easy with a lavishly landscaped oceanfront pool deck just steps from the sand. Designed as a serene setting for rest and relaxation, this outdoor area offers a glistening infinity edge pool, resort-style private cabanas, summer kitchens and more.
