Miami, FL — Nichols Architects is proud to announce its role as Architect of Record for the newly unveiled Aston Martin Residences Daytona Beach Shores. The 18-story oceanfront development by Valor Real Estate Development, also includes Gomez Vazquez International (GVI) as design architects and Aston Martin’s design team as creative collaborators. Positioned on the Atlantic shoreline of Daytona Beach Shores, the project expands Aston Martin’s presence within the luxury residential market.

Drawing inspiration from the British marque’s design DNA, the project pairs performance-driven elegance with the serenity of beachfront living. The development will feature 86 residences, including two levels of double-height penthouses, each designed to capture expansive ocean views and reflect the precision, proportion, and material craft synonymous with the Aston Martin brand. Residents will enjoy a curated suite of amenities, fine-dining experiences, an artisan bakery, and direct access to one of Florida’s most iconic beaches.

A Collaborative Vision, Meticulously Executed

As Architect of Record, Nichols Architects will transform an ambitious global design vision into a high-performance building that elevates luxury living on Florida’s east coast. The firm’s scope includes technical design, documentation, and multidisciplinary coordination to ensure that the architectural expression, structural systems, and interior details work seamlessly as a unified whole.

“Our focus is on bringing the design vision to life through thoughtful coordination and technical expertise,” said Andrew James, Executive VP from Nichols team. “This collaboration allows us to merge Aston Martin’s distinctive design language with our experience in delivering complex waterfront developments across Florida.”

Located just minutes from the legendary Daytona International Speedway, the project also celebrates the area’s racing heritage—an environment where Aston Martin’s performance legacy has left an indelible mark.

Scheduled for completion in 2029, the Aston Martin Residences Daytona Beach Shores represents a major moment for the region’s luxury market and signals a shared commitment among all partners to elevate oceanfront living through thoughtful design, technical excellence, and brand-driven innovation.
