CMC Group Reveals Multi-Million Dollar Art Collection At Brickell Flatiron

Milan-born developer and CMC Group founder Ugo Colombo recently completed the installation of a multi-million art collection at his newly opened Brickell Flatiron tower in Miami’s Brickell neighborhood. The privately commissioned permanent collection features a series of exclusively produced large-scale paintings and sculptures by New York artist Julian Schnabel, as well as signature pieces by Italian artist Carlos Battaglia and Italian photographer Marco Glaviano, which are displayed throughout the 64-story building’s grand lobby and public amenity spaces. Works by Battaglia and Glaviano add to Brickell Flatiron’s Italian sophistication and are complemented by the building’s sleek interiors and custom-designed furnishings created by Italian design architect Massimo Iosa Ghini.

“Brickell Flatiron’s signature art collection complements the building’s timeless elegance and sophisticated Italian style,” said developer Ugo Colombo, founder of CMC Group. “We’ve spared no detail or expense to deliver a memorable product for our residents, offering the highest caliber of quality and design that will withstand the test of time.”

Highlights from the collection include two dynamic pieces by Italian painter Carlo Battaglia: Visionario, 1968 and Visionario 7, 1969. Born on the Sardinian island of La Maddalena, Battaglia is best known for his abstract paintings from the 1960s, rich seascapes from the 1970s and ‘80s, and watercolor sketches of New York City made in late 2001.

A standout among Julian Schnabel’s custom prints and pastel-colored paintings at the tower is the iconic Sawtooth Lamps sculpture from his 2014 collection, fashioned from cast and plate bronze. The American painter and filmmaker’s large-scale pieces are materially and thematically monumental, drawing on a wealth of influences from Cubism to the practice of Cy Twombly and themes such as sexuality, obsession, suffering, redemption, death, and belief.

Italian photographer Marco Glaviano also exhibits two framed prints at the luxury condominium, including Dizzy Gillespie in the 27th st. studio in New York, 1992 and Sonny Rollins at Umbria Jazz in Perugia,1998. The Sicily-born photographer and architect pioneered digital photography as the first to publish a digital picture in American Vogue in 1982 and worked for leading fashion magazines and brands across the globe.

Brickell Flatiron’s architectural design is the brainchild of architect Luis Revuelta, who is behind many of Miami’s iconic high-rises including CMC Group’s Bristol Tower, Santa Maria and EPIC Residences & Hotel. On the inside, master Italian design architect Massimo Iosa Ghini uses inspiration from Revuelta’s curved façade to outline the tower’s sleek interiors and public amenity spaces, creating a seamless transition from exterior to interior.

The tower’s 64th-floor rooftop amenities encompass a Sky Spa, Sky Pool and Sky Gym with 360-degree panoramic views of the bay and downtown Miami’s glimmering cityscape. Residents have access to a host of therapeutic services and other offerings including private steam, sauna and locker facilities, a 6,300 square foot state-of-the-art fitness center with Pilates, spin and aerobics studios. Additional features include a resort-style lap pool and separate children’s pool on the 18th floor, private movie theater with stadium seating, billiards room and lounge, clubroom, full-time concierge and 24-hour valet parking, on-site vehicle washing and detailing, and electric car-charging stations.

Residences at Brickell Flatiron range from one-to-five bedrooms, with a limited collection of penthouses that include two-story duplex and three-story triplex units. Each unit comes equipped with the finest materials from around the world, soaring ceilings with recessed lighting, energy-efficient windows, and elliptical glass balconies.

Approximately 98% of the development’s 527 units have already been sold, which were originally priced from about $500,000 to $15.5 million. Remaining residences are available from $1.175 million to $2.35 million, and one upper duplex penthouse for $9.4 million.

CMC Group Closes On More Than $31 Million in Penthouse Sales In Last 90 Days At Brickell Flatiron

CMC Group’s newly completed Brickell Flatiron condominium in Downtown Miami’s Brickell Financial District has successfully closed on four upper penthouse residences totaling $31.6 million in finalized sales over the last 90 days. The 64-story tower, built by CMC Group founder and veteran Miami developer Ugo Colombo, was delivered in November 2019, and over 90% of its contracts have already been closed. Approximately 98% of the building’s 527 units are sold to buyers from around the world, with more than half of its residents hailing from within the domestic United States. The 736’ skyscraper, located at 1000 Brickell Plaza, currently stands as the tallest condominium in Miami.

Brickell Flatiron’s upper penthouse collection, located on floors 62 through 64 of the tower, includes expansive single-story, two-story duplex and three-story triplex residences measuring from 3,600 SF and up to 7,900 SF in size. The sales include a 7,856 SF 6 bedroom, 3-story triplex penthouse with a private pool for $13.2 million; a 5,453 SF 4 bedroom, 3-story triplex penthouse also with a private pool for $11.2 million; a 2,726 SF 4 bedroom penthouse for $2.32 million and a 3,626 SF 4 bedroom, 2-story duplex penthouse for $4.9 million. One developer-owned duplex penthouse unit remains available for purchase, which is now on the market for $9 million.

“Now more than ever, buyers have grown accustomed to and appreciate the level of detail we have always strived to deliver at CMC Group,” said developer Ugo Colombo, founder of CMC Group. “Brickell Flatiron’s last available penthouse embodies true Italian design. Every element used – from the finishes and fixtures, to the furniture pieces and colors – was designed with the highest quality materials and the utmost attention to detail to achieve a unique, one-of-a-kind product that will stand the test of time.” 

“In the last few weeks, we have closed the balance of our sold penthouses,” said Vanessa Grout, president of CMC Real Estate. “The demand to purchase our last remaining developer-owned residence is coming from individuals both international and domestic.”

Rising 62 stories above Miami’s preeminent Brickell neighborhood, Brickell Flatiron’s last remaining duplex penthouse spans 4,633 SF of interior space with terraces extending from all rooms. The grand two-story residence features 4 bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms and a vast 20’ double height living area enveloped by expansive north and east cityscape and water views. The fully finished “townhome in the sky” has been meticulously designed by Barcelona-born architect Alexis Cogul Lleonart of Miami-based Doo Architecture and enriched with beautifully curated accessories by Nest Casa. Alexis Cogul Lleonart’s design model for Brickell Flatiron’s last remaining upper penthouse expands upon CMC Group and Ugo Colombo’s ethos to create livable spaces with functional yet refined interiors that feel like home.

“A well-designed space must provoke, enhance and encourage a reaction,” said Alexis Cogul Lleonart, founder and principal of Doo Architecture. “If this happens, our work is completed.”
