Pagani Residences has officially broken ground in North Bay Village, marking a defining milestone for both the development and the neighborhood as it continues to emerge as one of Miami’s most coveted waterfront destinations.

Pagani Residences has officially broken ground in North Bay Village, marking a defining milestone for both the development and the neighborhood as it continues to emerge as one of Miami’s most coveted waterfront destinations.

On display during the ceremony were three Pagani Hypercars — the Huayra BC, Huayra Coupé, and Utopia Coupé — underscoring the craftsmanship, performance, and design excellence that inspire Pagani Residences.

The groundbreaking brought together key project stakeholders led by Mikael Hamaoui, founder and CEO of Riviera Horizons, whose vision brought Pagani Residences to life in collaboration with Horacio Pagani and Pagani Arte. Hamaoui was joined by Horacio Pagani, Edgardo Defortuna, president and CEO of Fortune International Group, Brenda Basso, chief executive officer of Pagani Arte, Nicola Volpi, chairman of Pagani Automobili, Christopher Pagani, marketing director of Pagani Automobili, and Brett David, CEO of Prestige Imports and Pagani of Miami, alongside local leadership including North Bay Village Mayor Rachel Streitfeld. Their presence reflected the highly collaborative and deeply personal nature of the project, further underscoring Pagani Residences’ significance within Miami’s evolving ultra-luxury landscape.

Developed by Riviera Horizons in collaboration with Horacio Pagani and Pagani Arte, the 30-story boutique tower will feature 70 all-corner residences designed to maximize natural light, privacy, and sweeping views of Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. Expansive terraces extend the living experience outdoors, reinforcing the project’s connection to its waterfront setting.

“This milestone reflects a more thoughtful and enduring approach to luxury, one rooted in design integrity, craftsmanship, and long-term value,” said Mikael Hamaoui, founder and CEO of Riviera Horizons. “Today’s buyers are increasingly discerning, seeking projects with a distinct point of view and an authentic sense of authorship. Pagani Residences introduces a new level of precision and intentionality to waterfront living in Miami, while also contributing to the continued evolution of North Bay Village as one of the city’s most compelling residential destinations.”

The project arrives at a pivotal moment for North Bay Village, which continues to gain momentum as a hub for design-driven boutique development, attracting buyers seeking both proximity to Miami’s urban core and a more private waterfront lifestyle.

Representing Horacio Pagani’s first residential project worldwide, the development reflects his direct involvement across every aspect of the design process, from the architectural vision to the smallest interior details. Designed by A++ and curated by Pagani Arte, the residences incorporate signature materials and finishes inspired by Pagani Hypercars, including carbon fiber, hand-finished metalwork, and supple leathers, all reinterpreted through a refined residential lens. Extending this vision further, Pagani Arte has created an exclusive bespoke furniture collection for the residences, transforming each home into a fully immersive expression of the Pagani universe.

“For me, design has always been about creating emotion,” said Horacio Pagani. “Pagani Residences brings the spirit of our Hypercars into everyday living through craftsmanship, beauty, and a thorough attention to detail. Every material, every texture, and every space were considered with the same care we dedicate to each Pagani Hypercar.”

Upon completion, residents will enjoy a curated suite of amenities, including a rooftop pool with panoramic 360-degree views and a wellness level on the 29th floor inspired by the Italian Dolomites. A private marina and 240-foot waterfront boardwalk, along with exclusive resident access to a yacht club and beach club, further extend the lifestyle offering. Curated services will also include the Auto Privata partnership powered by Prestige Imports, an automotive concierge program providing white-glove vehicle storage, maintenance, and transportation services tailored to collectors and enthusiasts alike.

Pagani Residences start at $3.9 million.

Newgard Group and Imperial Moto Launch 'Revault', A Design-Driven Luxury-Auto Vault and Collector Car Community In Little River

Newgard Group, the Miami-based development firm led by Harvey Hernandez, together with Imperial Moto, the iconic Miami lifestyle brand founded by Matt McKenna, has launched Revault, a first-of-its-kind community that blends for-sale luxury car storage, private club culture, Padel sports, and curated design into a single integrated experience.

Newgard Group, the award-winning Miami-based development firm led by Harvey Hernandez, together with Imperial Moto, the iconic Miami lifestyle brand founded by Matt McKenna, has launched Revault, a first-of-its-kind community that blends for-sale luxury car storage, private club culture, Padel sports, and curated design into a single integrated experience. Blending architecture, design and performance, Revault redefines luxury car storage by integrating customizable, for-sale Car Studios with exclusive club amenities and curated experiences.

Born from a shared vision, Revault combines Newgard’s development expertise with Imperial Moto’s deep authenticity in Miami’s car culture. Located in Little River, one of Miami’s fastest-growing creative districts, the 80,000 SF project will feature a limited collection of 16 luxury Car Studios, a members-only Clubhouse, a five-court indoor Padel Club, Imperial Moto’s signature café, and a creative campus designed for events and social connections.

“Revault is more than a real estate development; it’s a cultural ecosystem,” said Hernandez, Founder & CEO of Newgard Group, and a car collector himself. “Our team and Imperial Moto are aligned on creating something that doesn’t exist anywhere else: a destination that blends performance, design and lifestyle in the heart of Miami’s trendiest, up-and-coming neighborhood.”

At its core, Revault is a design-forward car vault concept, offering secure, climate-controlled, two-story Car Studio units with mezzanine lounges, bathrooms and fully customizable finishes. These spaces go beyond traditional car storage; they are lifestyle extensions of their owners, designed to host, work, collect, relax and connect with fellow members of the Revault Society, an invitation-only community built around shared passion for design, performance and culture.

Revault Miami Highlights:

  • 16 for-sale Car Studios ranging from 2,000–8,000 sq. ft., fully finished and customizable

  • 45,000 sq. ft. of hospitality-driven amenities including the Revault Concourse

  • Amenities include an Owners Clubhouse with concierge services, a temperature-controlled, five-court indoor Padel Club for year-round play, a gym, spa and wellness areas

  • Creative campus with work suites, conference rooms, and space for curated events and social programming operated by Imperial Moto

  • State-of-the-art security and monitoring throughout the building

Revault represents the first real estate venture for Imperial Moto, known globally for design-driven experiences, creative activations and a specialty coffee culture. McKenna and Hernandez initially pursued the same Little River site independently—Hernandez focused on a collector car condo concept, while McKenna envisioned a mixed-use development including a padel component. Their ideas converged naturally, forming a foundation for a true partnership.

“Imperial Moto has always been about connection through craft, design and shared passion,” said McKenna, Founder of Imperial Moto. “Revault is the evolution of that idea—a space where we can offer more than a product or a place. It’s a full-spectrum lifestyle built for people who live what they love.”

Revault Miami, at 7441 N. Miami Avenue, Miami, Florida, is now welcoming reservation inquiries from selective owners seeking to join this exclusive car collector community. Construction is slated to begin in 2026.

In addition to Miami, the partnership is actively working on other Revault locations in Delray Beach, Palm Beach and Nashville, with other cities to follow.

Ugo Colombo's CMC Group Secures $69.9 Million Refinancing Loan For 4000 Ponce Home of The Collection

Miami-based luxury real estate development firm CMC Group has secured a $69.9 million loan from City National Bank of Florida (CNB) for the refinancing of 4000 Ponce / The Collection, a nine-story Class-A mixed use office and retail development in the heart of Miami’s elite Coral Gables neighborhood.

Miami-based luxury real estate development firm CMC Group has secured a $69.9 million loan from City National Bank of Florida (CNB) for the refinancing of 4000 Ponce / The Collection, a nine-story Class-A mixed use office and retail development in the heart of Miami’s elite Coral Gables neighborhood. Developed by veteran developer and CMC Group Founder Ugo Colombo in 2002, the Mediterranean-style building also is home to The Collection, one of the most successful luxury car dealerships in the United States, with brands including Ferrari, Aston Martin, Porsche, Maserati, Alfa Romeo, McLaren and Audi. Located at the confluence of Ponce de Leon Boulevard and Bird Road in Coral Gables, 4000 Ponce features 150,000 SF of Class A office space and 32,000 SF of prime ground-floor retail. The building is more than 90% leased to tenants including Steinway & Sons, Coldwell Banker, Hemisphere Media Group, Korn Ferry, Evensky & Katz, Pure Barre and Jetset Pilates.

“Our ability to secure this refinancing for 4000 Ponce is a testament to the building’s enduring value and strategic significance in the Coral Gables market,” said developer Ugo Colombo, Founder of CMC Group. “As the anchor of Coral Gables’ Southern Business District, 4000 Ponce not only boasts a premier walkable setting adjacent to The Shops at Merrick Park, but also a top-tier tenant roster including The Collection’s flagship location, which has called the building home for more than 20 years. With this refinancing, 4000 Ponce continues to set the standard for being one of the most prestigious business addresses in Miami, reinforcing its position as a cornerstone of sophistication and quality in the market.”

JLL Capital Markets worked on behalf of the borrower, CMC Group, to secure the five-year, floating-rate senior loan through City National Bank of Florida (CNB) Senior Vice President and Real Estate Banking Executive Karen Richardson. The JLL Capital Markets Debt Advisory team representing CMC Group was led by Senior Managing Director Paul Stasaitis, Associate Paul Adams, and Analyst Nicole Barba. Jim Shindell and Hannah Lidicker of Bilzin Sumberg represented CMC Group.

“This debt placement demonstrates that lenders highly value the fundamentals, such as a location that has blossomed into an upscale live, work, play urban neighborhood with convenient access to transit. But more importantly, the sponsor has demonstrated a long history of successful office occupancy and an operating business that leads in its industry space. We are experiencing the emergence of astute lenders who recognize that our local office markets are different than national themes and that every asset should be viewed singularly on its merits,” said Paul Stasaitis.

“CMC Group has been one of Florida’s most prolific real estate firms for more than 30 years, and 4000 Ponce has been a centerpiece of commercial activity in Coral Gables since its development. Our decision to finance the asset aligned closely with our dual focus on relationship banking and providing capital to clients that are fueling Florida’s real estate market, which is among the nation’s strongest,” according to Gary Fitzgerald, Executive Vice President and Real Estate Banking Executive at City National Bank of Florida.

Developed in 2002, 4000 Ponce offer a grand lobby, common areas and elevators enhanced by marble, Venetian stucco, cherry millwork, and bronze, while its exterior stands out for the iconic Mediterranean-style architecture that distinguishes ‘The City Beautiful.’ Each floor of office space contains approximately 30,000 rentable square feet, with flexible floor plans for both full-floor users and multi-tenant use. The smart building is equipped with the latest systems for fully-integrated broadband communications service, high-speed internet and data network service, and features ample on-site parking in an attached garage with a ratio of three spaces per 1000 SF, with a special visitor parking area on the mezzanine level.

4000 Ponce is surrounded by an abundance of executive housing and is adjacent to The Shops at Merrick Park, one of the South Florida’s most coveted shopping districts. Tenants enjoy the frequent service of the Coral Gables trolley which stops in front of the building and provides access to Miracle Mile, as well as the nearby MetroRail station. The property is also within walking distance from US-1 and is approximately 20 minutes away from Miami International Airport.

CMC Group’s South Florida development portfolio includes luxury residential towers including Bristol Tower, Santa Maria, Epic Residences and Hotel, Grovenor House, Porto Vita and Brickell Flatiron. CMC Group’s most recent developments include Onda Residences, which is delivering this Summer in Miami’s Bay Harbor Islands; Vita at Grove Isle, an ultra-luxury boutique condominium under construction on the private island of Grove Isle in Miami’s Coconut Grove neighborhood; and the newly unveiled Four Seasons Private Residences, also in Miami’s Coconut Grove.
