Eighteen Sunset Achieves Full Occupancy in Miami Beach’s Thriving Office Market

Eighteen Sunset, a highly anticipated mixed-use boutique development in Miami Beach’s Sunset Harbour neighborhood, has achieved full occupancy for its premium office spaces. The 17,708 square feet of Class A+ office space has been fully leased, highlighting the surging demand for luxury work environments in Miami Beach.

Colliers, led by Vice Chair Stephen Rutchik, managed the leasing process on behalf of the landlords, Deco Capital Group and RWN Real Estate Partners. CBRE’s Executive Vice Presidents Jeff Gordon and Barbara Black represented the tenants in the transactions.

The property has attracted a carefully curated mix of tenants, including a globally recognized private equity firm and luxury lifestyle brand Audemars Piguet. Both organizations were drawn to Eighteen Sunset’s unique blend of high-end design, waterfront views, and proximity to Miami Beach’s dynamic cultural and business hubs.

Developed by Deco Capital Group and constructed by Origin Construction, Eighteen Sunset is located at 1759 Purdy Avenue, offering tenants direct access to Maurice Gibb Park, the Sunset Harbour Marina, and upscale dining and retail options. Its strategic location combines proximity to Miami Beach’s active community with unobstructed views of the Intracoastal Waterway and Venetian Islands.

Stephen Rutchik of Colliers emphasized the property’s role in meeting modern workspace needs: “Eighteen Sunset represents the future of workspaces in Miami Beach. Its boutique design, unmatched amenities, and premier location reflect the evolving preferences of businesses seeking more than just office space.”

Slated for completion later this year, Eighteen Sunset is poised to set a new benchmark for elite office environments in Miami Beach’s competitive real estate market.

FIRST ON PROFILE: Audemars Piguet Signs Lease at Eighteen Sunset To Open Miami's First AP House in Sunset Harbour

A new level of luxury is coming to Miami Beach’s Sunset Harbour district in the form of AP House. The boutique hospitality experience created by the Swiss luxury watch brand Audemars Piguet has leased 11,841 square feet at Eighteen Sunset – the landmark mixed-use project designed by DOMO Architecture + Design, which will also be home to the only Class A+ office product currently under construction on Miami Beach. It is slated to deliver late this year, with AP House projected to open in 2024. Just two office spaces on the fourth and fifth floors remain for lease.

Once complete, AP House will be an innovative residential salon concept made for intimate browsing, socializing and entertaining amongst existing and potential Audemars Piguet clients. This will be the 16th AP House location, following the recent opening of one in Los Angeles, adding to a portfolio of 14 others in major cities around the globe such as Bangkok, Barcelona, Hong Kong, London, Madrid, Milan, Munich, New York City, Shanghai, St. Barth’s, Tel Aviv, Tokyo and Zurich.

“The influx of best-in-class businesses and high net worth residents in Miami and Miami Beach has created a burst of demand for premium brand experiences,” said Bradley Colmer, Founder of Deco Capital. “Audemars Piguet’s arrival, in its most exclusive form, signifies Miami Beach’s evolution as a first-rate international destination and home for global luxury, brimming with five-star offerings.”

The AP House experience will begin on the ground-floor of Eighteen Sunset, where guests will enter into the brand’s exclusive lobby and take a private elevator to the top floor where they’ll be met with breathtaking views of Biscayne Bay and Downtown Miami via floor-to-ceiling windows and incredible wrap around balconies.

AP House joins a list of blue-chip tenants at Eighteen Sunset, including Pretium, a specialized investment management firm occupying 11,591 square feet on the fourth floor; a multi-billion dollar, publicly traded Canadian firm that signed an almost 20,000 square foot lease for the entire the third floor; and Uchiko, a restaurant concept by award-winning Hai Hospitality group, that will occupy approximately 6,000 square feet on the ground floor.

Eighteen Sunset’s ownership was represented by Stephen Rutchik of Colliers International and Neil King of CBRE. Audemars Piguet was represented by Jonathan Schley of CBRE and Lyle Stern of Miami-based Vertical Real Estate.

“Eighteen Sunset stands in a league of its own on Miami Beach and in the Greater Miami area. From the building’s tenant mix to its finishes and location, the development rivals best-in-class office properties in the Financial District, while offering the benefits of a boutique building in one of South Florida’s most desirable lifestyle destinations,” said Stephen Rutchik.

Located in Miami Beach’s Sunset Harbour district, one of South Florida’s most desirable shopping, dining and lifestyle destinations, Eighteen Sunset is Deco Capital’s signature mixed-use development project, rising five stories directly across from Biscayne Bay. The ground floor is home to approximately 17,000 square feet of restaurant and retail space, a central breezeway, and a cantilevered sidewalk connecting to Maurice Gibb Park. This is followed by parking on the second floor, and then Class A+ office totaling 40,000 square feet on the third and fourth, topped by an exclusive penthouse space, including a rooftop deck.

Global Investment Management Firm Pretium Signs Lease At Eighteen Sunset In Miami Beach's Sunset Harbour

Specialized investment management firm Pretium plans to open an office at Deco Capital Group’s Eighteen Sunset, a Class A office building being constructed at 1769 Purdy Avenue in Miami Beach. Pretium has leased 11,591 square feet on the fourth floor of the project, which together with other completed leases represents approximately 80% of all available office space at Eighteen Sunset. About 9,500 square feet in the building is still available. The project is currently rising after securing a $60 million construction loan last year.

“Miami Beach is excited to welcome Pretium to our community where our business assistance programs and incentives ease the ability of doing business, and our culture and lifestyle benefit business leaders, create jobs, and attract and retain talent,” shared Miami Beach Mayor Dan Gelber.

With more than 4,500 employees, Pretium has over $50 billion in assets under management across U.S. residential real estate, residential credit and corporate credit. Pretium’s Miami Beach office will span more than half of the fourth floor in the five-story building. The company will join a multibillion-dollar, publicly traded Toronto firm that signed a 20,000 square foot lease earlier this year. On the ground floor, Uchiko, a restaurant concept by award-winning Hai Hospitality group, will occupy approximately 6,000 square feet of space. Stephen Rutchik, executive managing director of Colliers International Florida, and Neil King, vice chairman of CBRE New York, represented Deco Capital Group in the transaction, and Daniel Posy, executive managing director of JLL New York, represented Pretium.

“Pretium is excited to be expanding its office presence to Miami, a region with a growing financial services community,” said Laura Cappiello, Pretium’s Chief Human Resources Officer. “Having an office in Miami will enable Pretium to attract and retain premium talent and broaden the pool of diverse candidates we seek to recruit.”

“Miami Beach has seen a significant increase in inbound investment, and the most fundamental change to the city’s economy has been the drive to develop Class A, best-in-class office space capable of accommodating the needs of preeminent global companies,” said Bradley Colmer, founder of Deco Capital Group. “Pretium operates from exemplary offices in international financial hubs and is proud to be one of the trailblazing companies relocating or expanding and establishing a more substantial presence in South Florida. Pretium is drawn to Eighteen Sunset for its quality design, prime waterfront location in the Sunset Harbour neighborhood and market-leading amenities and views.”

The City of Miami Beach has assisted a number of technology and financial services companies in expanding or relocating their operations after launching meaningful business incentive programs and business concierge services in 2021. Pretium participated in the city’s Expedited Plan Review and Permitting Program which offers an accelerated permitting review process of 10 business days. The city’s Job Creation Incentive Program offers an incentive of up to $60,000 per year for up to four years for businesses in targeted industries that create or relocate a minimum of 10 new, full-time jobs with average annual wages that meet or exceed 125% of Miami-Dade County or Florida average wages.

“It is really encouraging to see great companies, like Pretium and others, take advantage of Miami Beach’s programs and services,” affirmed Miami Beach City Manager Alina Hudak. “These programs were created to diversify the Miami Beach economy for the benefit of the entire community.”
