Formula 1 champion Charles Leclerc will be living the high life in Miami even after his podium finish at the weekend’s Grand Prix.

The 26-year-old phenom is buying a waterfront home in the Edition Residences in Miami’s Edgewater neighborhood, a personal milestone that Leclerc announced on Instagram to his 15 million followers.

“Miami, I already feel at home…can’t wait,” he posted on the social media platform which has already received over 1.37 million likes.

Leclerc, for his part, is buying one of the tower’s “iconic” air residences, which spans the 41st to 54th levels and starts at $4.7 million (US$3.1 million), according to The Job.

Smaller signature units have two bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and a living room, while the others have three bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms.

The tower will be nearly 650 feet tall and have 800 feet of frontage on Biscayne Bay. Designed by architect Bernardo Fort-Brescia with interiors by Alessandro Munge, it should be ready for move-in by 2027.

Leclerc can appreciate the fact that the development includes a “state-of-the-art racing simulator” as part of its vast 4,180m² indoor/outdoor fit-out space.
