Fresh off his podium finish at the Miami Grand Prix, Formula 1 sensation Charles Leclerc is celebrating another milestone: his first luxury real estate acquisition in the United States. The 26-year-old Ferrari driver, who boasts a staggering 15 million Instagram followers, recently announced his purchase of a signature sky residence at the Edition Residences, an ultra-luxury condominium development in Miami’s desirable Edgewater neighborhood. In a Instagram post that garnered over 1.3 million likes, Leclerc shared a photo slideshow captioned “Miami, feeling at home already … Can’t wait,” hinting at his excitement about his new waterfront property.
While the exact purchase price remains undisclosed, signature sky residences at the 55-story glass tower start at a cool $3.1 million and range from 2,315 to 2,709 square feet, offering spacious two- to three-bedroom layouts with high-end finishes and breathtaking bay views. Scheduled for completion in 2027, the Edition Residences promises to be a true oasis for the global elite. Designed by renowned architect Bernardo Fort-Brescia and featuring interiors by Alessandro Munge, the 649-foot tower will boast an impressive 800 feet of coveted Biscayne Bay frontage. Residents can indulge in a curated collection of amenities spanning 45,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor spaces, including a state-of-the-art racing simulator – a fitting addition for the Formula 1 star. Leclerc’s acquisition comes on the heels of his third-place finish at the recent Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix, where he shared the podium with race winner Lando Norris and runner-up Max Verstappen.
The highly anticipated event, held on a $40 million custom track funded by real estate mogul and Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross, solidified Miami’s status as a premier destination for motorsports enthusiasts. “A little bit of blue and 2 trophies to take back home. Miami, thank you,” Leclerc posted on Instagram, alongside a photo of himself proudly holding one of his trophies aloft. The Edition Residences marks the global hotel brand’s first independent collection of luxury condominiums, promising an unparalleled level of amenities and services. In addition to the racing simulator, residents will enjoy access to an indoor/outdoor poolside garden lounge with a wet bar, a cabana-lined pool, a cinema, golf simulators, a state-of-the-art fitness center with private training studios, yoga and spinning areas, onsite fine dining, a library lounge, and six guest suites. With his meteoric rise in Formula 1 and his recent foray into luxury real estate, Charles Leclerc’s star continues to shine brightly, both on and off the racetrack.
