Sunland Group Launches $10M Marea Collection: Four Modern Waterfront Homes in Belle Meade
Waterfront Luxury Meets Architectural Distinction
Unified Vision, Unique Expression
Sunland’s in-house team led the architectural and interior designs of all 4 residences, while internationally acclaimed Gonzalo Mardones Arquitectos contributed to two homes. Despite varying forms, materials, and spatial layouts, each residence maintains a cohesive modern vernacular—white stucco, wood cladding, glass, and lush planters—balanced by thoughtful waterfront orientation.
Light, Space & “Fifth Façade” Strategy
All four homes boast full-height glazing, open floor plans, and expansive rooftop terraces—defined as a “fifth façade”—integrating natural light and water views. These features speak to early modernist ideals while offering lush indoor-outdoor living.

Market Context: Belle Meade’s Upscale Pulse
As of June 2025, the median Belle Meade home price is $1.65 million (+1.5% MoM), with prices per square foot at $871.
Inventory remains low (13 homes listed), and homes are selling under asking price—a signal of value-conscious yet affluent demand.
Homes still move swiftly—half under 30 days, average days on market 35.
Belle Meade’s gated, waterfront setting on Biscayne Boulevard combines urban proximity with suburban calm. Its mix of mid-century charm and ultra-luxury builds caters to buyers craving both elegance and quiet—especially on canals.
Sunland Group’s Marea Collection positions four distinctive waterfront estates at the pinnacle of Belle Meade’s luxury market, combining architectural sophistication, design credibility, and prime location to target high-net-worth buyers. With median pricing climbing and top-tier inventory scarce, well-executed boutique projects like this promise strong appeal and likely premium returns.
