Farther Launches Multi-Family Office, Setting a New Standard for Generational Wealth Management

Farther – Intelligent Wealth Management, natively built to unlock greater wealth for clients throughout their financial lives – has launched Farther Family Office (FFO), a bespoke offering for ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) families. Built ground up for ultra-high-net-worth families, Farther Family Office powers elite advisory services with intelligent solutions to remove the pain points of generational wealth management.

FFO is architected from the ground up to serve the increasingly complex needs of clients with generational wealth. Informed by centimillionaire and billionaire clients, FFO is empowered to act purely in its clients’ best interests – supported by native AI infrastructure to serve clients without the friction associated with traditional institutions’ “bolt-on” technology.

Benjamin Seidenstein, CFA, will lead as Global Head of FFO. A longtime Goldman Sachs private wealth advisor, Seidenstein oversaw over $1.5 billion in client assets and established one of the firm's fastest-growing private wealth practices, advising UHNW entrepreneurs, executives, and private investors.

“Private banking is overdue for a new model – one centered around the clients’ needs, not the institution’s,” said Benjamin Seidenstein, Global Head of FFO. “Farther Family Office meets that need by combining a technology-first foundation with a bespoke advisory model to deliver truly customized solutions and elite service for generational wealth management.”

Farther’s multi-family office gives UHNW families the full experience of a dedicated family office, without the operational complexity. FFO’s flexibility also extends to whom it serves. Unlike traditional multi-family offices, Farther does not impose arbitrary minimums, recognizing that some of the most sophisticated wealth management needs belong to entrepreneurs, creators, and builders whose wealth is still taking shape ahead of major liquidity events.

FFO is built to satisfy the critical demands of growing and stewarding generational wealth:

• Uncompromised Client Service: As a fee-only fiduciary, absent product allegiances and institutional bureaucracy, FFO is free to focus entirely on what matters – delivering the right solution that best serves each client’s needs, not simply what’s best for the institution.

• Whole-Life Wealth Coordination: FFO serves as the single, trusted point of contact for a family's entire financial life – coordinating across investments, tax, estate, lending, and beyond. FFO anticipates and acts on clients’ needs before they have to ask.

• Open Architecture Investment Access: FFO provides access to an expansive investment universe – including niche strategies, targeted alternatives and highly customized opportunities, tailored to each family's goals and values. While traditional firms are incentivized to offer only what can scale across their entire client base, FFO sources bespoke opportunities for each client’s unique financial situation.

• Multi-Generational Continuity: Supported by Farther's Intelligent Wealth Platform, FFO gives families a single, unified view of their entire financial picture, across generations. This equips the next generation not just with wealth, but with the tools, visibility and systems required to learn about, preserve and steward it.

South Florida, and Miami in particular, has rapidly emerged as one of the most important hubs for ultra-high-net-worth individuals and families globally, driven by significant wealth migration from markets such as New York, California and international financial centers. As capital, entrepreneurs, and family offices continue to relocate and establish a presence in the region, the demand for more sophisticated, flexible, and technology-driven wealth management solutions has accelerated. Though Farther Family Office works with clients nationally, with Benjamin Seidenstein based in Miami, Farther Family Office is strategically positioned at the center of this shift—serving a growing base of UHNW clients who increasingly view South Florida not just as a lifestyle destination, but as a long-term financial and generational wealth hub.

“The most successful families in the world deserve a wealth management experience as sophisticated as their financial lives,” said Taylor Matthews, CEO and Co-Founder of Farther. “Ben is one of the most respected advisors in the industry, and together we’re building something that’s never existed before: a true family office experience, powered by Farther’s Intelligent Wealth Platform.”

Founded in 2019, Farther manages over $15 billion in assets and supports advisors nationwide. The firm ranks among the top 10 recruiters of financial advisors nationally, according to AdvisorHub, and delivers category-leading advisor satisfaction.

Howden, the global insurance intermediary, is deepening its U.S. presence with a 23,658-square-foot lease at 600 Brickell World Plaza in Miami’s financial district. The move aligns with the company’s national growth strategy and leadership expansion, following the appointment of Mike Parrish as CEO of Howden US and Jim Hays as Vice Chairman. Parrish will lead efforts to build a next-generation retail broking business that reflects Howden’s employee-owned and client-driven ethos.

The lease was arranged by Colliers South Florida, with Vice Chair Jonathan Kingsley and Associate Zach Smith representing Howden, alongside Jodie Poirier, President of Occupier Services, and Executive Vice Presidents Ian Gilbert and Bob Rosenthal. Ilene Muñoz, Vice President of Leasing at Elm Spring, represented the landlord, Brickell Holdings, LLC.

“With Brickell established as Miami’s epicenter for global business, we were pleased to support Howden in securing a flagship office setting that reflects their ambitious U.S. expansion strategy,” said Kingsley. “At 600 Brickell, Howden will have the perfect platform to extend their global expertise and deliver exceptional service to clients across key markets.”

It is recognized as Florida’s first LEED Platinum-certified high-rise office building, a distinction highlighting its advanced sustainability and technology standards.

The tower offers a 30,000-square-foot landscaped plaza, private fitness center, modern conference and telepresence facilities, on-site management, and 11 levels of secure, covered parking. Located directly on Brickell Avenue, the property sits within walking distance to some of Miami’s top restaurants, banks, and luxury hotels.

With over 80% of Brickell’s 43,000 employees working in finance, law, and tech, the district continues to attract a global roster of professional service firms. Since 2020, nearly 20% of new-to-market leasing activity in Brickell has been driven by international companies.

Notable entrants include CI Financial (Canada), Banco Master (Brazil), WORQ (Malaysia), and SoftBank Group (Japan) — each establishing flagship U.S. offices in the submarket.

Berkadia Secures $57M Bridge Loan for Midtown Capital Partners’ Lake Worth Apartment Project

Berkadia has arranged a $57 million bridge loan to refinance the construction debt on Astor Sound at Lake Worth, a new 230-unit multifamily community in Palm Beach County that is nearing completion.

The financing team included Senior Managing Director Mitch Sinberg, Managing Directors Scott Wadler, Brad Williamson, and Matt Robbins, along with Vice President Patrick Johnson. The loan was secured on behalf of the sponsor, Midtown Capital Partners, a Miami-based real estate investment advisor, operator, and developer with a portfolio spanning the U.S. and Spain. Infinity Collective originated the two-year loan, which includes an option for a six-month extension. The transaction closed on September 19.

Located at 2201 Tenth Avenue North, Astor Sound is designed as a garden-style community with four residential buildings ranging from two to five stories, along with a clubhouse on a 6.5-acre site. The property offers one-, two-, and three-bedroom floor plans sized between 715 and 1,160 square feet. Units feature chef-inspired kitchens with center islands, quartz countertops, luxury flooring, front-loading smart washers and dryers, and oversized walk-in closets.

Community amenities include a resort-style pool with pavilion and summer kitchen, fitness center, co-working lounge, coffee bar, game room, conference room, dog park and spa, and outdoor trails. The development is located minutes from downtown Lake Worth, with convenient access to I-95, Palm Beach State College, HCA Florida JFK Medical Center, and Palm Beach International Airport.

Focus and Group Fox secure administrative site plan approval for Brickell Apartment tower

Focus, a seasoned real estate development and construction firm, and Group Fox, a family-owned property and asset management firm, both headquartered in Chicago, have received administrative site plan approval for their latest project, the 517-unit Brickell Starlite apartment tower. This milestone sets the stage for the development of a 39-story luxury high-rise in the heart of Miami’s Brickell neighborhood.

“We are thrilled to finalize the entitlements on this property in Miami,” said Tim Anderson, CEO and Founder of Focus. “The world-class design, unparalleled location, and favorable zoning were strategically developed to meet the needs of the modern renter flocking to the Brickell neighborhood.”

Located within walking distance of the Brickell Metrorail station, the property will offer seamless access to Miami’s Brightline, Tri-Rail, Metrorail, and Metromover transit systems, providing residents with connectivity across South Florida. The developers and design team, led world renowned architectural firm Gensler, proposed a pedestrian and vehicular paseo at the building’s base, linking 7th and 8th streets. This feature will enhance accessibility to retail spaces within the tower and improve connectivity to the nearby I-95 on- and off-ramps.

The Brickell neighborhood remains a focal point for rental demand in South Florida, driven by a booming economy, favorable tax policies, and national migration trends. In 2024, Miami recorded its most competitive rental market in recent history, with apartments renting in an average of just 33 days and nearly 20 renters vying for each available unit.

Focus and Group Fox are in the final stages of permitting for the project and have enlisted a Cushman & Wakefield team—including Chris Lentz, Chris Moyer, Jeff Altenau, Susan Tjarksen, and Marc Royer—to capitalize the development.

Chris Lentz, Executive Director at Cushman & Wakefield, emphasized the project’s significance: “Brickell Starlite is a landmark multifamily development in Miami’s most vibrant and sought-after Brickell neighborhood and represents one of the only new luxury high-rise multifamily products underway in this well-occupied submarket. With extremely limited new developments coming online in Brickell, and the most recent multifamily deliveries dating back to 2019 and 2021, Brickell Starlite is uniquely positioned to meet the strong sustained demand for luxury.”

Renowned for its thoughtful exploration of regional Chinese cuisine, MIMI Chinese has already made waves in Toronto’s dining scene, earning Michelin recognition and a devoted following. The Miami Beach location brings the same innovative and hospitality-driven experience to one of the country’s most vibrant culinary cities.

MIMI Chinese stands out for its modern approach to traditional regional Chinese cuisine. With a menu inspired by the culinary traditions of Guangdong, Sichuan, Hong Kong, and Hunan, the restaurant highlights the diversity and depth of one of the world’s oldest cuisines. Signature dishes like the Hunan Chili Sea Bass, Hidden Crispy Chicken, and Four Foot Belt Noodles showcase both traditional techniques and contemporary flair.

MIMI Chinese’s Miami Beach location offers more than just a meal; it delivers an immersive dining experience. The restaurant’s interior is designed to create an intimate and theatrical atmosphere. Dim lighting, luxurious red accents, and glossy banquettes set the stage for an evening that engages all the senses. Servers, dressed in bowties, deliver attentive service, while the aroma of Sichuan peppercorns toasting in woks fills the air. Designed without windows, the space encourages guests to escape into a world of flavor, sight, and sound.

The full-building lease underscores the increasing appeal of coworking spaces in Miami Beach, where office vacancy rates remain low, recorded at just 8.7% in Q3 2024. As companies continue to embrace hybrid work models, demand for adaptable, lifestyle-driven workspaces is surging.
