Development Spotlight: Colette Residences

Situated between Brickell's vibrant financial district and the tree-lined streets of Coconut Grove, the South Brickell neighborhood has become one of the city's most desirable addresses for buyers seeking a more intimate luxury living experience while remaining connected to the energy of Miami's urban core. Few Miami neighborhoods offer the balance of urban convenience and residential tranquility found in South Brickell.

Among the developments redefining boutique luxury living in the neighborhood is Colette Residences, an exclusive collection of just 34 residences developed by META Development with pricing starting at $2.79 million. Designed by internationally acclaimed architecture and interior design firm OSPA, the project emphasizes expansive floor plans, thoughtful architecture, and highly personalized living. The recent $15 million sale of four residences—combined into two custom duplex townhomes totaling more than 9,000 square feet—further reinforces growing demand for boutique developments that offer customization, privacy, and the scale typically associated with single-family homes.

Project Overview

Located at 1880 Brickell Avenue, Colette Residences is a boutique luxury condominium consisting of just 34 residences across five residential levels. Rather than maximizing density, the project prioritizes spacious residences, generous outdoor living, and carefully curated amenities that create an elevated residential experience.

Designed around the concept of "Built for the Few. Admired by the Many," Colette blends contemporary architecture with lush landscaping and refined interior spaces, creating a residential environment that feels both private and connected to the surrounding neighborhood.

Why It Matters

While Brickell has become synonymous with high-rise condominium living, buyer preferences continue shifting toward developments offering greater privacy, lower density, and larger residences.

Colette reflects that evolution. With only 34 homes, expansive floor plans, and opportunities for customization—including the recent assemblage of four residences into two duplex townhomes—the project represents a growing segment of Miami's luxury condominium market where exclusivity often outweighs scale.

Architecture & Design

Architecture and interior design are led by internationally recognized design firm OSPA and Bellon Architecture, whose vision combines contemporary architecture with warm natural materials and generous landscaping throughout the building.

The five-level design creates interconnected open-air spaces filled with natural light while maintaining privacy between residences. Floor-to-ceiling glass, expansive terraces, natural wood detailing, and lush landscaping soften the building's contemporary architecture and reinforce its boutique character.

The project also features landscape architecture by David O. Design.
