These include a state-of-the-art fitness center with a dedicated recovery zone, a spa featuring an infrared sauna, steam room, contrast hydrotherapy pools, and red-light therapy panels. Additionally, a rooftop pool deck, a serene yoga and meditation area, a lobby tearoom, and a rooftop padel court are planned.
An Exclusive Address
Jay Phillip Parker, CEO of brokerage and president of Douglas Elliman Development Marketing, commented on the project’s appeal to a global clientele. "South Florida continues to attract high-net-worth individuals and families relocating from across the country and around the world, and Coral Gables is one of the most exclusive and coveted addresses in the U.S.," Parker said. "Cora Merrick Park speaks directly to the buyer who has experienced the best in New York, London or São Paulo and wants a home in Miami that matches that high standard."

The development also includes a significant public space: a 5,000-square-foot park featuring an original sculpture by acclaimed Catalan artist Jaume Plensa, further enhancing the community’s artistic and cultural appeal.
