META Development Launches Colette Residences, a Boutique Luxury Address Redefining South Brickell Living

META Development, the Miami-based firm known for its “Go Boutique” philosophy, has officially launched sales for Colette Residences, a new boutique luxury condominium in South Brickell. Partnering with the Eklund | Gomes Team at Douglas Elliman Development Marketing, META introduces an intimate residential concept that blends architectural sophistication with a serene, neighborhood-centric lifestyle.

Located in South Brickell—an area increasingly recognized as Miami’s next luxury residential frontier—Colette offers a refined alternative to the district’s high-rise energy. The five-story development features just 38 residences, including two signature penthouses, designed for those who value privacy, connection, and design integrity. Residences range from two to four bedrooms starting at 2,145 square feet, with pricing beginning at $3.3 million.

Designed by acclaimed Brazilian architecture studio OSPA, the building reflects a human-centered design ethos that seamlessly integrates indoor and outdoor living. This marks OSPA’s Miami debut and builds on META’s track record of architecturally distinct projects such as OPUS Coconut Grove.

“Colette represents the next evolution of our philosophy, curating residences that feel personal, tailored, and refined,” said Andrew Rasken, Founder and CEO of META Development. “In a district known for its high-rise energy, Colette is intentionally exclusive—crafted for those who value a calmer, more connected way of living without compromising on design or amenities.”

As part of its commitment to community impact, META Development will donate $10,000 for every residence sold to Friendship Circle of Miami, a nonprofit supporting children and young adults with special needs.

Despite its intimate scale, Colette offers a robust amenity program rivaling larger-scale towers. Indoor amenities span approximately 5,000 square feet, complemented by 7,000 square feet of outdoor spaces designed for relaxation and entertaining. Highlights include:

• A 50-foot swimming pool with private cabanas

• A 5,200-square-foot sun deck

• A wellness spa with jacuzzi, sauna, and steam room

• A screening room, children’s playroom, and meeting suite

• 24/7 valet service and covered parking for two or three cars per residence, with EV charging stations

• Private storage units for each homeowner

“Miami buyers are increasingly seeking boutique-scale projects that combine privacy with sophistication,” said Fredrik Eklund, co-founder of the Eklund | Gomes Team. “Colette delivers exactly that—an intimate collection of residences in one of the city’s most dynamic neighborhoods, blending global design with the lifestyle today’s buyers demand.”

Situated minutes from Brickell’s business core yet set within a peaceful, park-filled enclave, Colette residents enjoy walkable access to waterfront promenades, fine dining, and cultural destinations, all while maintaining the tranquility of a low-rise community. “We’re seeing interest from buyers who’ve outgrown the hustle of Brickell’s high-rise district,” explained Sales Director Pietro Belmonte. “They still want proximity to the city’s restaurants and nightlife, but they crave a calmer, more livable environment with a neighborhood feel.”

The Colette Sales Gallery will open on November 12, 2025, at 3390 Mary Street, Suite #124, Coconut Grove, FL 33133. Visitors can experience an immersive virtual tour, scale model, and full-size model kitchen and bath to preview the building’s design vision and lifestyle offering. Completion is slated for summer 2028. Ownership inquiries are now being accepted. For more information, fill out the form below.
