Currently under construction in Southwest Ranches, Florida, AKAI Estates is a 44-acre private community featuring a collection of 16 Vasco Vieira-designed luxury homes. With five distinct residence floor plans, AKAI Estates will provide homeowners with the lifestyle and amenities that make it one of the most highly anticipated projects South Florida has seen in years.

Each home at AKAI will be set on a 2-acre lot of private property, with residences ranging plans from 7,000-15,000 square feet and more. The open floor spaces across all the homes allow for modern design and high-end living.
“AKAI Estates is the first project of its kind in Southwest Ranches,” said Alex Yokana, developer of AKAI. “The exclusivity, privacy and ability to customize residences to exactly what a buyer desires is what sets AKAI Estates apart from any development in South Florida. Ideally located in close proximity to Miami and Fort Lauderdale, this development offers ease of access to the site with our convenient helipad, privacy and space buyers are looking for, and is yet the best location with access to South Florida’s top schools, fine dining, entertainment and culture.”

Every estate features a pool and can be customized to add features such as putting greens, tennis/pickle-ball courts, or even a basketball court.

“My aim for the AKAI villas was to create a new and exciting architectural experience, establishing a constant interaction between the interior and exterior spaces, with each villa embracing the terrain,” says Vieira. “Not only do all the main living spaces flow flawlessly with the exterior spaces, but the creation of a series of atriums allows for a constant contact with greenery and nature whilst experiencing the villa.”
