From up-and-coming neighborhoods to longtime hot spots, Miami is a world-class hub where millionaires, stars, and luxury lovers play amongst the palms. The Magic City is home to starchitect masterpieces and internationally-acclaimed hospitality destinations, meaning there’s a lot to love and even more vying for the discerning buyer’s attention. But one thing is certain when it comes to selecting a luxury home in the city—you can’t go wrong with the former pad of a real estate mogul. Robert Rivani is just that, and he recently listed his penthouse at The Ritz Carlton Residences in Miami Beach for $8.8M.

The real estate investment and development tycoon of Black Lion has an impressive portfolio—one that’s a testament not only to his savvy but also to his taste. Since last year, Black Lion has secured over $100M in acquisitions across South Florida with a rapidly expanding portfolio of restaurant and hospitality properties from Miami Beach to Wynwood, Brickell, and Downtown. These include the space for Gekko by David Grutman x Bad Bunny, Amara at Paraiso with chef Michael Schwartz, Wynwood Jungle with a newly opened Fable rooftop restaurant, the ground floor of Zaha Hadid’s One Thousand Museum, Delilah at Brickell Bay boardwalk, and more.
With this collection of hot properties under his belt, it seems Rivani won’t settle for anything less than the best and brightest—something you could say the Ritz Carlton has a reputation for. Rivani’s corner residence is one of the largest amongst the Ritz Carlton Residences’ lavish collection—where the likes of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber have also snatched up a unit.

Sophistication is key inside Rivani’s 4 bed + media lounge, 5 bath penthouse—the 4,525 square-foot abode is home to 11-foot ceilings and expansive living spaces radiating in Eastern sunshine. Floor-to-ceiling windows encompass the entirety of the penthouse, making for stunning water views and a portal to the city’s tropical essence.

Sleek light-toned interiors reflect the sandy serenity and weave the home’s thoughtfully curated features together. Find a custom eat-in kitchen by Boffi equipped with Gaggenau appliances, marble counters, and a large walk-in pantry. The dining room showcases an artful blue statement chandelier, and the primary suite is reminiscent of a jewel box with textured velvet touches and water views from nearly every angle.

In addition to elevated homes like this one, The Ritz Carlton Residences offers amenities perfect for the busy businessman to kick back in his free time. These include a private marina, a rooftop pool deck with cabanas and a poolside grille, a mediation garden, Club Room with a pool table and virtual golf, a spa and state-of-the-art fitness center, an art studio, and a fully-equipped kid’s room.
With his real estate portfolio at the cutting edge and his enviable home on the market, there’s no telling where Rivani will go next, but his lead is probably worth following—whether you’re a real estate enthusiast or a mere lover of the high life.
