Miami-based real estate development and investment firm Ytech have acquired a historic mansion located at 1500 Brickell Avenue. Ytech is completing a multi-million dollar restoration and renovation of the property which is slated for completion by Q1 2023. The property joins Ytech’s ownership portfolio of prime addresses in Brickell including 1428 Brickell Avenue, 1548 Brickell Avenue, and 75 Broadway, among others. Ytech was represented by Stuart Kapp of KappMorrison, LLP in the acquisition.
“The acquisition of 1500 Brickell Avenue underscores our commitment to the area which is the epicenter of growth in Miami,” said Yamal Yidios, CEO of Ytech. “The restoration will bring to life the significance of this historic property, which when complete will serve as a complement to our luxury residential development efforts in Brickell.”
Originally built in 1931, the property, referred to as “Château Petit Douy,” was designed to resemble the Priory in Saint Julian, France and reflects the period revival style of architecture common during the first half of the twentieth century. Located in what was then known as the Millionaires’ Row neighborhood, the home remains as one of the few historic mansions left on Brickell Avenue. The property gained its historic designation status in 1983.
Since 2006, Ytech has developed and redeveloped more than 7,000 apartments in 25 submarkets across the Southeast United States, involving over $2 billion in capital. In addition, the firm currently has a development pipeline of more than $3 billion in residential projects in the Brickell area.
