When one of America’s most influential retail titans decides to part with his personal residence, the result is rarely subtle.
That’s exactly the case in Key Biscayne, where American Eagle CEO Jay Schottenstein has brought his ultra-private, statement-making penthouse to market for $33.9 million with Julian Johnston and Jonathan Lifschutz of The Corcoran Group.
Floating high above the shoreline, the residence sits inside the upscale Grand Bay Tower and takes full command of one of Miami’s most coveted stretches of beachfront.
Designed by the late Geoffrey Bradfield — a name synonymous with high-glam, meticulously composed interiors — the penthouse spans 13,630 square feet in total, including more than 3,000 square feet of terraces and 10,421 square feet of interior living space. It’s a level of scale rarely found anywhere in South Florida.
A trophy residence towering over the ocean
With 100 feet of unobstructed oceanfront and sweeping sunrise-to-sunset vistas, the home feels like its own private horizon line. And just steps away, the newly reimagined $100M+ Ritz-Carlton and its members-only Beach Club layer in five-star amenities, service, and security, pushing the residence firmly into trophy territory.
Inside, Bradfield’s signature style comes through in every room — bold, sculptural, and unapologetically luxurious — beginning with a gallery-like entry sequence that sets the tone for the rest of the home.
A grand living space designed for large-scale entertaining
The main living areas stretch across a dramatic ocean-facing expanse, framed by floor-to-ceiling glass that maximizes natural light.
Generous seating arrangements, custom architectural ceilings, and bold area rugs define multiple conversation zones ideal for hosting on a large scale.
A second lounge with a cinematic, oceanview backdrop
A separate entertainment lounge extends the living space even further, anchored by a built-in media wall and room layout shown in the photos that allows for relaxed gatherings with an unmistakable oceanfront presence.
Oversized dining room built for 20
At the center of the home’s entertaining program is a sleek, oversized dining room that comfortably accommodates a long formal table.
The space connects seamlessly to the terraces and the kitchen, allowing guests to move easily between settings during events.
The penthouse features a professional-grade chef’s kitchen
Outfitted with double Sub-Zero refrigeration, premium appliances, dual islands, and extensive storage, the kitchen is as functional as it is architectural. Clean-lined millwork and illuminated ceiling beams add warmth to its streamlined layout.
A primary suite positioned for total privacy
The primary bedroom occupies its own wing, offering impressive scale and a thoughtful division of sleeping, lounging, and dressing areas.
Textured wall treatments and custom ceilings anchor the space, while sliding glass doors open to private terraces overlooking the coastline.
Spa-sized primary bathroom with resort-level amenities
The primary bath delivers the volume and presence of a high-end spa, complete with a central soaking platform, multiple vanities, a glass-enclosed shower suite, and direct access to outdoor views. Warm wood ceilings and stone surfaces tie the space together.
Couture-level closets befitting a fashion executive
Given Schottenstein’s status in the fashion world, it’s no surprise the residence includes closets that look straight out of a couture atelier — expansive, organized, and designed to showcase a full wardrobe with boutique-style presentation.
A refined executive office
The office is tailored for productivity without sacrificing aesthetic impact. Architectural detailing and ocean-facing views create a polished workspace suited to high-level decision-making.
Additional private bedroom suites
Beyond the primary suite, three additional en-suite bedrooms maintain the same design language, offering comfort, privacy, and generous proportions for guests or family members.
An art gallery corridor worthy of museum display
One of the home’s most visually striking features is the long art corridor, lined with illuminated display shelving and finished with wood-slat ceiling detailing. It introduces a gallery-like quality that elevates the entire residence.
Staff quarters and service areas
Discreetly positioned, the staff quarters and auxiliary spaces allow for seamless household operations — a valuable feature in a residence of this scale.
Outdoor terraces totaling more than 3,000 square feet
Multiple terraces wrap the residence, capturing both sunrise and sunset panoramas and extending the living space well beyond the interior footprint. With 100 feet of unobstructed beachfront, the views are nothing short of cinematic.
A rare amenity package
The penthouse also includes five premium parking spaces and five oversized private storage cages — a luxury in any Miami-area building and a clear indicator of the property’s standing.
