A brief is a short version of a case study.
The meticulous adaptive use and restoration of Florence’s 15th-century Palazzo Tornabuoni as an opulent mix of 38 residences, boutique retail, and restaurant space has elevated an entire section of this cultured city. Occupying a full city block and home to numerous artistic treasures from the 15th through the 17th centuries, Palazzo Tornabuoni possesses an architectural splendor on par with some of Florence’s finest edifices. Kitewood Partners and R.D.M. Real Estate Development spared no expense in this premier project. Their investment in Palazzo Tornabuoni has enriched the city’s urban fabric while offering the first private residence club in Italy—and one of the finest in Europe.
