In addition to building powerful cars, Aston Martin is adding another address to its growing list of branded properties. The British automaker announced plans for a new 18-story residential tower in Daytona Beach Shores, Florida, through a partnership with Valor Real Estate Development.

Called Aston Martin Residences Daytona Beach Shores, the 86-unit oceanfront project is scheduled for completion in 2029. It’s the company’s latest move into luxury real estate following developments in Miami and Tokyo.

The new building will rise at 3411 South Atlantic Avenue, a short drive from the Daytona International Speedway. The project will include two floors of parking, two penthouse levels, and ocean views from most units. Plans call for amenities such as fine dining, an artisan bakery, and resident-only facilities.

Aston Martin’s design team will oversee the interiors to align with the brand’s established look and finish. The company says its residential projects are meant to extend its design language beyond cars and into architecture.

Valor’s role and future developments

Valor Real Estate Development, which has developed more than a billion dollars in residential and mixed-use projects, is leading the construction. The Daytona project is part of a broader multi-site agreement between the two companies, with additional sites being reviewed in Mexico City and Tampa Bay.

Valor CEO Moises Agami calls Daytona Beach Shores “a rising star in Florida’s luxury market,” and the partnership with Aston Martin is part of a long-term plan to redefine upscale coastal living.

Aston Martin Residences Daytona Beach Shores is expected to break ground soon and open in 2029.

Is the BMW XM a perfect blend of practicality and performance
What it lacks in handling, it makes up for in comfort and practicality
Car, Transportation, Vehicle

The BMW XM has received a bit of a mixed response, but there’s a strong argument that it’s a logical next step on from the BMW M5. Think about it, the M5 is special because it combines practicality with exceptional performance. The BMW XM does the same thing, though you’re trading a little handling quality for far more practicality.

On a recent venture in BMW’s performance SUV, I weighed up the pros and cons of BMW’s most divisive vehicle. And it may be a better choice than BMW’s flagship.

Is the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 the best sports coupe on the market?
It's fast, good looking, and the sound of its V8 will send shivers down your spine.

When it comes to entertaining vehicles, it’s hard to beat a good sports coupe. And, despite it being a competitive segment, there’s an argument that the Mercedes-AMG deserves a spot close to the top of the sports coupe table.

In terms of direct rivals, the AMG sits in a similar bracket to the Porsche 911, Maserati Granturismo, and the BMW M8 Competition. All of which offer a lot of power, excellent handling, and an eye catching exterior.

McLaren and Motul develop bespoke lubricant to keep them on top
Motul uses McLaren Racing to test the limits of their formulas
Auto Racing, Car, Formula One

My first vehicle was a 1988 Ford Ranger. It was small, reliable, and the perfect first car. However, I wasn't allowed to park it in the driveway at home because it went through as much oil as it did gas. The leak was bad enough that I had to check and refill the oil once a week. The same cadence as the gas tank. That was where I learned the importance of fluids for cars. McLaren hits the Formula 1 tracks across the globe with that importance at the forefront of mind as they compete for the championship, and will now be teaming with Motul to take their collaboration for the world's most reliable lubricant to the world of endurance racing. From the high stress of speed in Formula 1 to the endurance of long-distance racing, the perfect bespoke lubricant is on the way.

McLaren was already using a very high-performance transmission fluid, with an extremely high level of requirements. Our challenge was to go even further: decrease friction losses even more while ensuring lubricant durability over time. The formulation developed with McLaren Racing has been validated to maintain its performance over several thousand kilometers under Formula 1 conditions. And this is only the beginning: in F1, cars are constantly evolving, and the formulation will continue to progress as well. - Julien Plet, Head of R&D at Motul.
