Terra and Partners Secure $507 Million Construction Loan from TYKO Capital for 1250 West Avenue in Miami Beach

Terra, one of South Florida’s most active residential and commercial real estate development firms, in partnership with RG Development Group, GV Development and LORE Development, has secured a $507 million construction loan from TYKO Capital for the development of 1250 West Avenue, a new luxury waterfront condominium planned along Biscayne Bay in Miami Beach. The financing is a significant milestone for the project as it prepares to move forward with construction. Sales are expected to begin in 2027.

Located at 1250 West Avenue, the 28-story development along Miami Beach’s western waterfront will feature 106 residences. The project will introduce a low-density residential experience centered on expansive residences, indoor-outdoor living and sweeping views across Biscayne Bay and the Miami skyline.

“Securing this financing from TYKO is an important milestone for 1250 West Avenue and reflects the strength of the project and our long-term conviction in Miami Beach,” said David Martin, CEO of Terra. “This is a rare opportunity to create an exceptional waterfront residential experience while making meaningful investments in the surrounding neighborhood and public realm. We look forward to advancing our plans with our partners and bringing this vision to life.”

Plans for 1250 West Avenue include an extensive collection of private wellness and recreational amenities including ground-level and rooftop swimming pools, spa and a padel court. Two penthouse residences will crown the building, each featuring a private rooftop pool and dedicated amenity space. The development will also include underground parking, ground-floor retail space and lush tropical landscaping integrated throughout the property.

“Miami Beach continues to be one of the most supply-constrained luxury markets in the country, and opportunities to build on the bay at this scale are rare,” said Adi Chugh, Founder and CEO of TYKO Capital. “Terra has proven itself on prior transactions with TYKO, and the team assembled for 1250 West Avenue has the experience and local market knowledge to deliver. This is the type of project and sponsorship we look to back as we deepen our presence in South Florida.”

Beyond the residential tower, the development team has proposed a series of public improvements designed to strengthen connections between the neighborhood and Biscayne Bay, including enhancements to the Baywalk that would expand public access and connectivity along Miami Beach’s western waterfront.

Terra has an extensive track record of development across South Florida, including several major projects in Miami Beach. The firm recently completed Five Park, a 48-story luxury condominium tower at the gateway to South Beach and is currently developing the 800-room Grand Hyatt Miami Beach, now under construction adjacent to the Miami Beach Convention Center. Terra’s broader active luxury residential portfolio includes Villa Miami in Edgewater, Jean-Georges Miami Tropic Residences near the Miami Design District, THE WELL Coconut Grove, and Mr. C Hotel & Residences West Palm Beach, reflecting the firm’s growing presence across South Florida’s most sought-after residential markets.

The Lincoln Coconut Grove Locks Down $58 Million Construction Loan

The Lincoln Coconut Grove has locked down a $58 million construction loan for the luxury boutique condominium with 48 spacious residences in the heart of Coconut Grove, Florida. The project has begun construction and is scheduled to be completed by Q3 2028. Berkadia, a distinguished leader in the commercial real estate sector, arranged the 30-month construction loan, which includes two six-month extension options, and was provided by SME Capital.

Managing Director Scott Wadler and Vice President Bobby Dockerty of Berkadia Miami, along with Senior Managing Director Mitch Sinberg, Matt Robbins and Brad Williamson, secured the financing on behalf of the development team: LORE Development Group (a joint venture formed by Leste Group and Opportunity Fundo de Investimento Imobiliário) and Element Development.

One Sotheby’s International Realty is the exclusive sales and marketing broker for The Lincoln, which has surpassed the 40% sold milestone.

“The Lincoln speaks directly to the sustained demand we’re seeing from both capital providers and discerning buyers for boutique, design-forward residential product in Coconut Grove,” said Wadler. “Lenders and equity partners continue to gravitate toward experienced sponsorship delivering thoughtfully curated communities in supply-constrained submarkets like the Grove.”

Added Dockerty, “The combination of limited new boutique inventory, strong pre-development interest and Coconut Grove’s enduring appeal as a family-oriented, lifestyle-driven neighborhood created a compelling opportunity for this capitalization.”

Located at 2650 Lincoln Avenue in Coconut Grove, The Lincoln features a collection of one- to four-bedroom residences – including six stunning penthouses with up to 3,633 square feet – with in-suite dens for versatile living, spacious private balconies, expansive walk-in closets, and custom chef-inspired Snaidero kitchens.

Building amenities at The Lincoln include a luxurious mix of spa-inspired wellness areas with sauna, steam room and hot and cold plunges, a state-of-the-art fitness center, golf simulator, co-working lounge and media area, as well as an enclosed private dog park and pet grooming room.

A resort style 40-foot long heated rooftop pool and observation deck features panoramic bay and city skyline views, private cabanas, an outdoor yoga and meditation area, lounge sitting area, and summer kitchens with outdoor grills designed to foster an exclusive sense of community for residents. Additional amenities include assigned and valet parking, 24/7 front desk and night security services, private storage rooms, and an enclosed bicycle area available to all owners.

All residences feature designer kitchens with quartz stone countertops. Miele appliances include a built-in wine refrigerator, 36-inch induction cooktop, wall-mounted oven, microwave and speed oven, and an integrated refrigerator tailored to each residence. Bathrooms offer floor-to-ceiling glass shower panels, resort-inspired vanity designs, premium fixtures, elegant Toto toilets, and marble countertops.

The property is ideally situated in the heart of The Grove with easy access to beautiful parks, marinas, top-rated schools, high-end restaurants, hotels and boutiques, along with nearby Coral Gables, Brickell, Downtown, and the Beaches.

Witkoff Secures $302.6 Million Construction Loan for First Phase of Kobi Karp-Designed Residential Development in Miami Worldcenter

Another major residential development is moving closer to construction in Downtown Miami after Witkoff, in partnership with Monroe Capital, secured a $302.6 million construction loan for the first phase of its planned three-tower community at 700 North Miami Avenue in Miami Worldcenter.

The financing marks a significant milestone for one of the final large-scale undeveloped parcels within Miami Worldcenter. The nearly five-acre property, formerly home to the historic Miami Arena, is planned for a master-planned residential development designed by Kobi Karp Architecture & Interior Design.

The financing was provided by Athene Annuity and Life Company, an affiliate of Apollo Global Management, together with J.P. Morgan Chase. The transaction refinanced approximately $57.3 million in existing debt while providing roughly $245.3 million in new construction financing. Lotus Capital Partners arranged the financing.

The project's first phase will include a residential tower rising approximately 600 feet with 894 residential units. Plans also call for 17,367 square feet of ground-floor retail space and a nine-story parking garage encompassing approximately 167,237 square feet.

Upon completion, the full development will feature three residential towers rising 50, 51 and 53 stories. The master plan includes 2,346 residential units, approximately 30,535 square feet of commercial space and 2,078 parking spaces, creating one of the largest planned residential communities within Miami Worldcenter.

The development continues to move through the City of Miami's permitting process. Site preparation has already been approved, while the master building permit and phased vertical construction permit remain under review. Construction costs for the first phase are estimated at nearly $270 million, with Coastal Construction serving as the project's general contractor.

Witkoff and Monroe Capital acquired the property for $94 million in 2021 after earlier redevelopment plans for the site were never realized. Before the current vision, the parcel had been slated for a Marriott Marquis hotel and convention center project that ultimately did not move forward.

The property occupies the former site of the Miami Arena, which opened in 1988 as the original home of the Miami Heat before later hosting the Florida Panthers, as well as concerts, sporting events and other entertainment throughout its history. The arena was demolished in 2008.

Located within walking distance of Brightline's MiamiCentral Station and other regional transit connections, the project represents another major step in the continued evolution of Miami Worldcenter as Downtown Miami's mixed-use neighborhood continues to expand.

Related Group and BH Group Break Ground on Icon Beach Waterfront Residences in Hollywood

Hollywood's rise as one of South Florida's most coveted coastal destinations takes a defining step forward today with the official groundbreaking of Icon Beach Waterfront Residences. Developed by Related Group and BH Group, the 38-story, 350-residence tower rises above a shoreline perfectly situated between Miami and Fort Lauderdale, delivering a rare dual-water lifestyle anchored by a private 32-slip marina and resident-exclusive beach club at a price point that remains among the most compelling on South Florida's coastline.

The groundbreaking follows the recent closing of a $360 million construction loan from Tyko Capital, underscoring institutional confidence in both the Hollywood market and the development team behind it. With completion anticipated in 2028, the vision is rapidly coming to fruition.

“For years, Hollywood existed in the shadow of South Florida's more established coastal destinations. Not anymore,” said Nick Pérez, President of Related Group's Condominium Division. “The city is experiencing a remarkable transformation, and what we're building here is a direct reflection of that momentum. Today, we’ve started work on a destination where exceptional design, resort-inspired amenities and an unparalleled waterfront lifestyle come together for buyers who expect the very best and see Hollywood as the place to find it."

Positioned between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway, Icon Beach places residents at the center of South Florida's most extraordinary natural assets. With panoramic views stretching from sunrise over the ocean to sunset across the Intracoastal, the tower is crafted to celebrate water at every turn.

Envisioned by Cohen Freedman Encinosa & Associates with interiors by the award-winning Meyer Davis and landscape architecture by Witkin Hults + Partners, the development offers one- to three-bedroom residences spanning 948 to 2,580 square feet along one of South Florida's most sought-after stretches of coastline. Open-concept floor plans, floor-to-ceiling glass and oversized sliding doors open onto generous private terraces where the horizon stretches in every direction.

Primary suites offer a serene counterpoint, with spacious walk-in closets, spa-style bathrooms and soaking tubs appointed with fixtures from Kohler and Hansgrohe that transform everyday routines into something worth savoring. Kitchens are outfitted for both form and function with custom Italian cabinetry, large center islands and imported porcelain countertops in two curated finishes, paired with a premium suite of Bosch and Thermador appliances that bring a chef-inspired sensibility to every meal.

"What makes Icon Beach special isn't just its location, but how deeply the building is connected to the water around it," said Isaac Toledano, Founder of BH Group. "That philosophy extends from the residences themselves to the private marina, the exclusive beach club and the resort-style amenities designed around life on the water. The intention behind every detail is felt from every angle and there is simply nothing else in the market that comes close."

At Icon Beach, 40,000 square feet of amenity space unfolds around a single organizing principle: life is better on the water. The sparkling resort-style pool with sun shelf serves as the social heart of the property, flanked by stylish private cabanas and a tranquil spa and wellness center complete with cold plunge, steam room and Jacuzzi. A state-of-the-art 3,000-square-foot health club, equipped with advanced cardio and weight training equipment and dedicated yoga rooms, ensures that wellness is never more than an elevator ride away.

Beyond the pool deck, an outdoor cinema, sunset yoga lawn, summer kitchens and a reservable event space overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway create a setting that shifts effortlessly from a quiet morning to an evening among friends. A residents' gathering lounge and alfresco cocktail bar round out an amenity program conceived for every hour of the day.

Access to a private marina and a full-service beach club extend the Icon Beach lifestyle to the open ocean and Hollywood's beautiful shoreline. A dedicated concierge, 24-hour front desk, valet and security team ensure that every arrival feels like a welcome, and every request is met without hesitation. Select works from the world-renowned Jorge M. Pérez Contemporary Art Collection are woven throughout the common areas, lending Icon Beach a cultural depth that runs as deep as its design.

Icon Beach arrives at a pivotal moment for Hollywood, which recently celebrated its centennial anniversary – a milestone that reflects its remarkable evolution from a quiet beachfront retreat into one of the most sought-after waterfront destinations in South Florida. The Diplomat Beach Resort, long a cornerstone of the city's hospitality identity, recently reopened after a transformation and rebranding as Signia by Hilton, signaling the caliber of investment now flowing into the market. The Broward County Convention Center continues to drive consistent business activity, while ongoing development along the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk and a wave of acclaimed restaurants moving north from Miami are reshaping the city's culinary and cultural landscape. Sophisticated buyers are increasingly drawn to Hollywood's rare combination of natural beauty and urban convenience, and Icon Beach is where that demand finds its answer.

13th Floor Investments and Barings Break Ground on Final Phase of Miami's Link at Douglas Transit-Oriented Development with $134 Million Construction Loan

13th Floor Investments, in partnership with Barings, has secured a $134 million construction loan to finance the development of Crescendo, the fourth and final residential tower at Link at Douglas, one of Miami’s largest and most transformative transit-oriented communities. The construction financing is led by Santander Bank in partnership with TD Bank and First Horizon Bank. Located at 3070 SW 37th Avenue adjacent to Miami-Dade County's Douglas Road Metrorail Station, Crescendo will include 392 multifamily units and complete the 7-acre Link at Douglas mixed-use community, strategically positioned at the intersection of US-1 and Douglas Road between Coral Gables and Coconut Grove. Now under construction, the 37-story tower is expected to deliver in 2029.

Link at Douglas' first phase, which delivered in 2023, introduced two fully leased residential towers totaling 733 apartments, the 312-unit Core and 421-unit Cascade buildings, along with more than 30,000 square feet of retail space anchored by Milam's Market. The project's third residential tower, the 432-unit Cadence building, is currently under construction and expected to deliver in 2028. With the addition of Crescendo, Link at Douglas will encompass more than 1,500 residential units across four towers, fully realizing a long-term vision for a dynamic mixed-use community integrated with one of Miami-Dade County's most important transit hubs.

"Crescendo is far more than the final tower at Link at Douglas," said Daryl Shevin, Chief Financial Officer of 13th Floor Investments. "It represents the culmination of years of planning, investment, and partnership with Miami-Dade County to create a community that brings housing, retail, and transit together in one of Miami's most connected locations."

Developed in collaboration with Miami-Dade County and its Department of Transportation and Public Works, Link at Douglas has transformed publicly owned land surrounding the Douglas Road Metrorail Station into a mixed-use community that integrates housing, retail, and transit. As part of the original agreement, the development team invested more than $17 million in public infrastructure improvements, including a complete renovation of the Metrorail station and the creation of a public plaza connecting directly to The Underline linear park.

Barings has partnered with 13th Floor Investments on the development since breaking ground on Link at Douglas’ first residential tower in 2019 and has remained a key capital partner throughout the community's multi-phase evolution.

“We're proud to continue our partnership with 13th Floor Investments at Link at Douglas as the project enters its final phase,” said Chris Cassella, Managing Director at Barings. “Crescendo is the realization of a thoughtfully executed vision in one of Miami's most connected locations, and we're pleased to help bring the final piece of the community to life.”

The completion of Link at Douglas further advances 13th Floor Investments' transit-oriented development strategy across South Florida. The firm recently broke ground on Link at Boca, a mixed-use development adjacent to Boca Raton's Tri-Rail Station that will deliver 340 residential units and 24,000 square feet of retail space. The firm also plans to develop Link at SoMi, a two tower 670-unit multifamily community adjacent to the South Miami Metrorail Station that emphasizes walkable design and urban living near major employment and education hubs.

Since its founding in 2008, 13th Floor Investments has delivered more than 4,700 residential units across South Florida and currently has more than 4,800 units in development or under construction. Today, the firm is focused on the development of luxury residential and mixed-use multifamily communities, growing its industrial portfolio, and expanding its single-family homebuilding business, 13th Floor Homes.

Constellation Group and The Boschetti Group Secure $67.5 Million Construction Loan For Cora Merrick Park

Constellation Group and The Boschetti Group announced the successful closing of a $67.5 million construction loan for Cora Merrick Park, a boutique residential condominium centered on wellness in Coral Gables. Located at 4241 Aurora Street in the heart of the exclusive Merrick Park neighborhood, Cora will deliver 74 thoughtfully designed residences that reflect a modern, wellness-oriented approach to living.

Located in one of Coral Gables’ most supply-constrained neighborhoods, the 74-residence project is designed to offer a more private, wellness-oriented residential experience within walking distance of premier shopping, dining and office destinations

Lender BHI provided the financing, which was arranged by a Berkadia Miami team led by Scott Wadler and Matt Nihan.

“This is an important milestone for CORA Merrick Park and the larger Coral Gables community” said Eduardo Otaola, Principal at Constellation Group. “Securing financing from BHI, a well-respected regional lender, is a strong validation of both the market opportunity and the differentiated vision behind Cora Merrick Park. In today’s financing environment, lender support at this level reflects confidence not only in the project itself, but also in the long-term strength of the Coral Gables market. With construction now underway, we believe Cora represents one of the most compelling new residential offerings in Coral Gables and a distinctive long-term addition to the neighborhood.”

With financing secured and construction underway, Cora Merrick Park continues to gain momentum as one of the few boutique condominium developments in Coral Gables actively under construction

Scott Wadler of Berkadia added, “In today’s more selective lending environment, capital is gravitating toward best-in-class sponsorship, irreplaceable locations and projects that clearly differentiate themselves – and Cora Merrick Park checks every box.”

Construction on Cora Merrick Park began in April and is expected to be completed in 2028.

Priced from the $900,000s to over $4 million for penthouse residences, Cora Merrick Park is designed by acclaimed architecture firm Arquitectonica with interiors by Urban Robot. The project is among the first condos in Miami seeking certification through the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI) WELL for residential program, an evidence-based, third-party certification aimed at creating healthier, more resilient homes.

With wellness programming overseen by Spanish wellness firm Lamarca Well – known for creating Madrid’s first wellness hub – amenities and operations at Cora Merrick Park are centered on biohacking and longevity, featuring advanced air and water purification systems, noise-reducing acoustic design, non-toxic building and cleaning materials, a fitness center with a dedicated recovery zone, and a spa with infrared sauna, steam room, contrast hydrotherapy pools and red-light therapy panels.

Residents will also enjoy a resort-style rooftop pool deck, yoga and meditation area, lobby tearoom and the first rooftop padel court in Coral Gables. Outside, an original sculpture by celebrated Catalan artist Jaume Plensa anchors a lush 5,000-square-foot park that the developer is donating to the City.

Cora Merrick Park offers 13 unique floor plans ranging from one-bedroom residences to expansive three-bedroom-plus-den penthouse homes. Residences feature 10-foot ceilings, Italkraft kitchens, Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, designer stone countertops, custom porcelain flooring and spacious walk-in closets. Select residences also include expansive private lanais.

The project is directly across from Shops at Merrick Park and within walking distance of downtown Coral Gables and the Metrorail, providing convenient access to Coconut Grove, the University of Miami and Downtown Miami/Brickell. It is also located one block from 4225 Ponce, the recently completed Class A, boutique office building anchored by wealth management firm UBS, also developed by Constellation Group and The Boschetti Group.

North Development Pays Off $70 Million Construction Loan at Domus Brickell Park

North Development has officially paid off its $70 million loan for Domus Brickell Park, marking a major financial milestone for the recently opened Brickell development and reinforcing the company’s strong execution across construction, sales, closings and operations. The payoff, completed in April 2026, follows the project’s on-time, on-budget completion and strong momentum since closings began. Within the first 60 days alone, Domus Brickell Park recorded 120 closings, underscoring continued buyer demand for North Development’s flexible ownership model, which combines fully furnished residences, hospitality-driven services and short-term rental flexibility.

“This accomplishment speaks to the strength of our team and the discipline behind the entire development process,” said Ricardo Dunin, Founding Partner of North Development. “Paying off the loan so quickly after opening is not just a financial achievement, it reflects the level of coordination, planning and execution that went into every phase of the project, and the strong market response we are now seeing from owners and guests.”

The loan payoff coincides with continued operational momentum at Domus Brickell Park following its recent opening. Since welcoming owners and guests, the property has already received many five-star reviews, reinforcing the strength of the guest experience and the demand for a fully managed residential model that offers both personal use and rent-generating potential. Forman Capital, the project’s main lender, recognized North Development’s execution throughout the development process, citing the team’s professionalism, preparedness, proactive communication and ability to navigate both senior and junior debt structures through full repayment.

“North Development managed the process with clarity and discipline from start to finish,” said Hellois Scheeres, Chief Risk Officer at Forman Capital. “Their ability to meet construction milestones, communicate proactively and ultimately deliver full repayment speaks to the strength of the organization and the caliber of its execution.”

Located in the heart of Brickell, Domus Brickell Park is a fully operational hotel and condominium offering furnished residences that owners can enjoy personally or place into the property’s short-term rental program. Through the Domus App, owners can manage their residence, access services and transition their unit into the hotel inventory when they are away, creating a flexible lifestyle experience for owners while supporting a consistent guest experience. Daily operations are managed by North Management, North Development’s in-house hospitality and property management platform, overseeing everything from service and maintenance to guest relations across the property. The building also features a curated amenity collection, including a rooftop pool deck, fitness center, steam room, garden lounge, co-working spaces and a 4,200-square-foot lobby anchored by Ludlow Coffee Supply, and the Ludlow bar further establishing Domus Brickell Park as a hospitality-driven destination in one of Miami’s most dynamic urban neighborhoods.

The success of Domus Brickell Park comes as North Development continues to advance its second Brickell project, Domus Brickell Center. The project is already more than 50% sold and ahead of its construction schedule, reflecting continued confidence in the Domus model and sustained demand for flexible, fully furnished residences in Miami’s urban core.

A limited selection of units remain, with prices beginning at $600K with Cervera Real Estate exclusively leading sales.

Allen Morris Company has closed on a $43 million construction loan from Affinius Capital LLC (“Affinius Capital”), in partnership with Axonic Capital LLC (“Axonic”), to commence development of Bayside North, the second phase of its signature $250 million Bayside project in Sarasota, Florida.

The financing marks a continued milestone in the advancement of the broader Bayside Sarasota master development, which is currently under construction and reshaping the city’s Rosemary District and Bayfront corridor.

“Bayside North represents the continued evolution of a truly walkable, design-forward waterfront community in Sarasota. With this second phase, we are building on the momentum of Bayside to deliver an elevated residential experience that thoughtfully blends architecture, amenities, and place-making in one of Florida’s most dynamic growth corridors,” said W.A. Spencer Morris, President of Allen Morris Co.

Affinius Capital Co-Head of Debt Originations Eric Cohen commented, “This transaction represents an opportunity to finance the development of a high-quality, condo-grade asset in a market with a robust renter base. We look forward to continuing our work alongside Allen Morris Co. and contributing to the continued success of the Sarasota Bayside project. This transaction marks the third closing in our strategic partnership with Axonic, designed to deliver mid-market first mortgage financing for new development projects.”

Phase II of Bayside will introduce a seven-story, 96-unit luxury residential building complemented by eight fully furnished guest suites, further expanding the vision for elevated waterfront living in downtown Sarasota. The residences will feature a thoughtfully curated mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom floor plans averaging approximately 1,200 square feet, alongside 15 workforce housing units that reinforce the project’s commitment to fostering a diverse and inclusive residential community.

Designed to maximize its prime waterfront setting, the building will feature a top-floor clubhouse with sweeping west-facing views of Sarasota Bay, while ground-level offerings will include a dynamic mix of active lifestyle and neighborhood-serving amenities, including a pickleball court and a 3,000-square-foot restaurant intended to enhance connectivity and activate the surrounding district. As part of the broader Sarasota Bayside masterplan, the development represents the next evolution of refined rental living in the market, with more than 50,000 square feet of amenities, a rooftop resort-style pool, lush botanical courtyards and integrated food-and-beverage programming that together create a sophisticated, lifestyle-driven alternative to traditional condo ownership.

Bayside North represents the second phase of the larger Bayside Apartments development. The initial phase, a 254-unit luxury rental community currently under construction and expected to complete in April 2027, has already established a new benchmark for design-driven residential living in Sarasota’s evolving urban core.

Allen Morris Co. continues to advance its strategy of delivering high-quality, mixed-use residential communities in high-growth urban locations across Florida and the Southeast.

MIRAI Design District Secures $85 Million Construction Loan and Breaks Ground on Kengo Kuma’s First U.S. Mixed-Use Development

MIRAI Design District has secured an $85 million construction loan from Monroe Capital LLC, and has officially broken ground on the highly anticipated mixed-use development in Miami’s Design District.

Developed by Leviathan Development, Lionheart Capital, Well Duo, and The Lane Organization, MIRAI Design District will introduce approximately 41,000 square feet of Class A boutique office space and 16,000 square feet of luxury high street retail and hospitality space to the neighborhood, with completion anticipated in 2028. The project represents architect Kengo Kuma’s first mixed-use development in the United States, marking a significant milestone for the internationally acclaimed architect whose work is known for blending architecture, nature, and cultural experience.

“We’ve spent years building our position along Northeast Second Avenue because we believed in what this corridor could become, and MIRAI is the clearest expression of that conviction. Securing this financing and breaking ground is the moment the vision becomes real — and bringing Kengo Kuma’s first U.S. mixed-use project to the Design District reflects exactly the kind of opportunity Lionheart is built to identify and execute,” said Ophir Sternberg, founder and CEO of Lionheart Capital.

Located along Northeast Second Avenue, MIRAI reflects the next phase of growth in the Miami Design District, emphasizing architecture, hospitality, walkability, and curated commercial experiences. Designed as a “floating lantern,” the building features a transparent ground floor, layered façade screening system, lush central garden, and hospitality-driven public spaces intended to create a more intimate and experiential extension to the neighborhood.

The project’s boutique office component has been positioned to attract family offices, small and mid-sized funds, and design-led businesses seeking highly curated spaces that function as extensions of their identity. Due to strong demand and the project’s highly curated vision, leasing has remained in-house.

“MIRAI was conceived as something far more experiential than a traditional mixed-use project,” said Allison Greenfield, founder and managing partner of Leviathan Development. “The goal was to create an environment where architecture, hospitality, retail, and workplace culture feel fully integrated, reflecting how people increasingly want to work, gather, and spend time in Miami. More importantly, we wanted MIRAI to contribute something meaningful to the ongoing evolution of the Design District, creating a project that enhances the neighborhood culturally, architecturally and socially for both visitors and the local community.”

Designed by internationally acclaimed architect Kengo Kuma and Associates (KKAA), MIRAI continues the broader transformation of the Miami Design District into one of the country’s most architecturally significant luxury and cultural corridors. The project joins a growing concentration of globally recognized architects, hospitality concepts, and design-led commercial experiences reshaping the neighborhood, while helping position Northeast Second Avenue as the district’s next boutique luxury corridor. Future tenants are being curated around a shared emphasis on design, culture, hospitality, and lifestyle, with a focus on brands and businesses aligned with MIRAI’s highly experiential vision. Additional tenant announcements, hospitality partnerships, and cultural programming initiatives are expected to be unveiled in the coming months as construction progresses and leasing momentum continues.

“One of the most exciting aspects of MIRAI is the opportunity to curate a community of tenants that share a common appreciation for design, culture, and hospitality,” said Eduardo Pelaez, principal of Well Duo. “Rather than simply filling space, our focus has always been on bringing together businesses and brands that contribute to the character of the building and the broader neighborhood. That level of curation is what sets MIRAI apart.”

The project’s public-facing design and future experiential programming are expected to play a central role in MIRAI’s identity, including plans for a dynamic façade lighting program in collaboration with Viabizzuno, cultural activations, and hospitality-driven gathering spaces integrated throughout the development.
