Be Smart: What’s Driving This Story

Harrods Joins the Design Roster

Swire’s latest move taps Harrods Interior Design—helmed by Letitia Fitzgibbon—for exclusive design services, marking their debut in American residences. Buyers receive a complimentary consultation and can opt into full-scale planning, furnishings, styling, installation, sourcing, and project management.

Knightsbridge Penthouse: Ultra-Luxe Showcase

The centerpiece of the collaboration is the four-bedroom, 7,965 square foot Knightsbridge Penthouse atop the South Tower. Dressed with opulent touches like a Murano glass chandelier, Taj Mahal marble floors, commissioned art, and a metallic mosaic pool by Mathilde Jonquiere, it offers multi-level terraces, an outdoor pool, and sweeping Biscayne Bay and Downtown Miami views.

A wellness wing includes a yacht-inspired principal suite, gym with PENT equipment, Swarovski-crystal dumbbells, lap pool, open-air shower 800 feet above ground, plus a sauna and 24k gold Dornbracht shower.

Context Within the Broader Development

• Two towers:

  • South: 228 high-end condos (with this Harrods partnership), over half already sold, project total sales topping $1 billion

  • North: Hotel with 121 rooms, private and hotel residences—all part of Mandarin Oriental’s North America flagship

• Completion timeline: slated for 2030

• Architectural credentials: Kohn Pedersen Fox (architecture), interiors by Tristan Auer and Laura Gonzalez, landscaping by SHMA
