Ponce Park’s Penthouse Collection Offers a New Perspective on Elevated Living in Coral Gables

At the heart of Coral Gables, Ponce Park’s Penthouse Collection pairs timeless Mediterranean-inspired architecture with considered interiors, exceptional materials, and a distinctly personal approach to luxury living.


In Coral Gables, where architectural heritage and a strong sense of place have long defined the city’s appeal, Ponce Park introduced a new vision for residential living. On October 20, Allen Morris Co. and ONE Sotheby’s International Realty welcomed South Florida’s leading brokers for an exclusive first look at The Penthouse Collection, a limited series of residences crowning one of the city’s most anticipated new developments.


Comprising eight residences ranging from 2,241 to 7,644 square feet, the collection introduces an elevated expression of Ponce Park’s European-inspired design, with 12-foot ceilings, expansive interiors and generous outdoor living spaces.


Of the eight penthouses, three are already sold and five are currently available, including both one-story and two-story residences.



The evening began with a champagne toast and live music at the Ponce Park Sales Gallery, where W. Allen Morris, Chairman and CEO of The Allen Morris Co., welcomed guests before leading them to MIKA Coral Gables for an intimate dinner alongside ONE Sotheby’s International Realty’s Daniel de la Vega. Beyond the unveiling, the gathering offered a closer look at the vision behind the collection: residences that balance architectural distinction with the comforts and individuality of a private home.


Conceived by architect John Cunningham, Ponce Park draws inspiration from the enduring elegance of Coral Gables, translating the city’s Mediterranean Revival character into a contemporary residential setting. Graceful arches, balanced proportions, and a natural sense of flow establish an architectural language that feels rooted in its surroundings while looking toward the future.


That philosophy extends to the materials themselves. The Allen Morris team traveled to Italy’s historic quarries to personally select the Roman travertine, Silver Travertine, and Calacatta Borghini marble featured throughout the development. Each stone was chosen for its distinctive veining, tonal variation, and natural character, ensuring that the materials contribute more than visual appeal; they give each space a sense of depth and individuality.


Interior design by Meyer Davis brings together understated sophistication and thoughtful functionality. Kitchens are centered on custom Italian wood cabinetry, Calacatta Borghini marble countertops, and waterfall chef’s islands, complemented by 60-inch La Cornue ranges and professional-grade Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances. Integrated wet bars, finished with leather-front cabinetry and marble backsplashes, add another layer of considered detail, creating spaces equally suited to everyday living and entertaining.


The residences are designed around a sense of arrival. Private elevators open onto interiors finished with European white oak flooring, hand-selected Italian stone, and seamlessly integrated smart-home technology. Custom millwork, tailored wall treatments, and integrated library shelving offer opportunities to further personalize the great rooms, allowing each owner to shape the space around their own aesthetic and way of living.



The primary suite is conceived as a retreat within the residence. Handcrafted suede-paneled millwork and tailored shelving define the generously proportioned dressing room, while the primary bathroom pairs a book matched feature wall of Italian Silver Travertine with a custom travertine vanity, a soaking tub, and Dornbracht fixtures in 24-karat brushed gold. The effect is warm and tactile, with natural materials taking center stage.


Outdoor living remains an essential part of the experience. Eleven-foot-deep terraces extend the interiors into the open air, featuring porcelain tile flooring, a fully equipped summer kitchen with an integrated grill, and a custom outdoor bar. The generous proportions create room for everything from a quiet morning coffee to evenings spent entertaining against the Coral Gables skyline.


For owners seeking an additional layer of personalization, an optional in-suite media lounge can be tailored to serve as a private cinema, listening room, or intimate gathering space. It is a detail that reflects the broader philosophy of The Penthouse Collection: a home should not simply make a statement but also reflect the people who live in it.


For Allen Morris Co., the collection represents a continuation of a development philosophy grounded in architectural integrity, material quality, and a lasting relationship with place. Founded in 1958, the Florida-based firm has developed a portfolio of 95 projects, bringing decades of experience to a city whose identity has always been closely tied to its built environment.


At Ponce Park, that legacy meets a more personal interpretation of luxury. The result is a collection defined not only by its scale or finishes, but by the relationship between architecture, craftsmanship, and the way people experience their homes.
