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.

Forward Hospitality Group and CHEF RAHEEM SEALEY Open Asian Smokehouse Shiso in Wynwood

Chef Raheem Sealey, known for his influential roles at KYU and Drinking Pig, in partnership with Forward Hospitality Group, have successfully opened Shiso—an Asian Smokehouse that uniquely fuses Caribbean influences, Japanese precision, and wood-fired BBQ techniques.

Drawing on his roots from St. Croix and refined training at Le Cordon Bleu in Miami, Chef Sealey has created a menu that celebrates global flavors with innovative twists. The dishes, crafted for sharing, have quickly become a favorite among locals and visitors alike. Standout offerings such as the “Shiso Chicken Please”—a Cornish hen presented both smoked and fried with a distinctive white BBQ sauce—and the inventive Oxtail Gunkan, which layers smoked BBQ oxtail with pickle relish, rice, and a house-made oxtail ‘ju-su’ wrapped in nori, are a testament to the chef’s passion and culinary mastery.

Shiso’s physical space marries raw urban energy and refined elegance in its contemporary design. The venue, located at 239 NW 28th Street, offers an environment where exposed concrete beams adorned with graffiti art contrast with an illuminated quartz stone bar and polished weathered brick corridors. Inside, serpentine banquettes and expansive views of Miami’s horizon invite guests to linger and savor the dynamic atmosphere.

The restaurant’s impact is further extended by its striking 6,500-square-foot rooftop area. This vibrant space features a 35-seat racetrack-shaped bar with a retractable roof and semi-private dining cabanas, all set amidst a 2,000-square-foot green garden teeming with palm trees. This outdoor setting has quickly become a hotspot for those seeking a unique blend of culinary excellence and social engagement.

Inside Shiso, the dining experience goes beyond food. An open-kitchen layout infuses the space with culinary theater, where chandeliers illuminate dining areas framed by local murals and exposed brick. A 15-seat Chef’s Counter offers guests an exclusive, interactive Omakase experience, further enhanced by the expertise of Miami-based mixologist James MacInnes, who leads a world-class bar program emphasizing both craft and spectacle.

The venue is equally noted for its artistic elements. From a captivating street art mural that guides guests toward the rooftop, to a Harajuku-inspired bathroom featuring bold anime art, every detail reflects Wynwood’s creative spirit. Additionally, an origami-inspired entrance crowned with a sculptural wooden paper crane sets the stage for what has become a landmark destination blending food, culture, and art.

Now open Tuesday through Sunday from 5 PM to close, Shiso has quickly become more than just another restaurant—it is a dynamic hub where Miami’s culinary innovation meets the creative energy of Wynwood. The venue invites diners to connect, explore, and celebrate an integrated experience where tradition and innovation coexist. With its bustling indoor dining space and extensive rooftop area, Shiso is set to remain a centerpiece in Miami’s vibrant dining scene.

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.”
