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.

Constellation Group and The Boschetti Group Complete 4225 Ponce, Coral Gables' Newest Boutique Class A Office Property

Constellation Group, in partnership with The Boschetti Group, celebrated the completion of 4225 Ponce, a new eight-story, boutique Class A office and retail development located at 4225 Ponce de Leon Blvd in Coral Gables, during an exclusive unveiling event for VIP guests on February 26.

Designed by internationally renowned architecture firm Arquitectonica, the 84,000-square-foot luxury office property reflects a broader evolution in workplace preferences that accelerated post-2020 – favoring smaller, design-forward office environments in suburban, amenity-rich districts with direct access to public transit. The property sits directly across from the Shops at Merrick Park and three blocks from the Douglas Station Metrorail.

The property is over 50% leased to high-profile tenants including UBS Group, which signed a long-term lease for 33,180 square feet spanning two floors in late 2024, and Enne, an internationally renowned luxury furniture brand whose flagship Miami showroom will occupy the property’s 6,000-square-foot ground-floor retail space. CBRE’s Cameron Tallon, Eric Groffman and Randy Carballo are leading the leasing effort.

4225 Ponce delivered amidst the continued migration of millionaire and billionaire business moguls from high-tax states to well-established, family-friendly residential enclaves like Coconut Grove, where smaller office properties are in high demand.

“4225 Ponce reflects the way today’s executives want to work,” said Eduardo Otaola, Managing Principal of Constellation Group. “Miami’s rapid growth in human capital and high-net-worth residents have created demand for a more curated office experience — one that prioritizes quality over scale. Today’s leaders are seeking environments that are intentional, discreet, and seamlessly connected to where they live and how they move throughout their day."

“The overwhelming response to 4225 since opening in January confirms that the ‘flight to quality’ isn't just a trend—it’s the new standard for Miami’s office landscape,” added CBRE’s Cameron Tallon. “We are seeing a specific 'migration of wealth' from cities such as New York, Chicago and California, and these type of high-net-worth individuals and boutique firms prioritize privacy, service, and location. These tenants seek more than just a traditional space for a few offices and desks; they want an office that functions as a natural extension of their lifestyle and a space to entertain friends and clients. 4225 was thoughtfully designed and developed for this caliber of user. When the lease-up is complete, we believe 4225 will ultimately have one of the best tenant rosters in Miami.”

Located at 4225 Ponce de Leon Blvd., the property features four levels of boutique office space and a penthouse floor with views of Biscayne Bay, along with best-in-class amenities including private terraces, a covered pedestrian paseo with valet service, on-site structured parking, dedicated office elevators, and electric vehicle charging stations. Within an eight-minute walk of the Metrorail, 4225 Ponce offers seamless connectivity to downtown Miami, Brickell, and beyond.

HQ Residences Miami In Edgewater Reveals New Interior Renderings By DesignAgency and Craft

HQ Residences Miami has unveiled new renderings of its interiors, offering a first look inside the residential experience behind one of the city’s most culture-forward branded tower — blending elevated design, wellness, and entertainment into a lifestyle-driven offering in the heart of Downtown Miami. Designed to reflect a hospitality-first approach to residential living, interiors at HQ Residences Miami emphasize comfort, functionality, and understated luxury — pairing warm, modern finishes with thoughtful layouts that support both everyday living and entertaining.

Residences feature open-concept living spaces, floor-to-ceiling windows, and refined material palettes that complement the building’s amenity-rich lifestyle. Kitchens are designed for both form and function with Italian cabinetry in warm wood tones, natural stone surfaces, and a full suite of integrated designer appliances, while Spa-inspired bathrooms echo the project’s wellness philosophy with walk-in showers, floating-style dual vanities, and rich material palettes that evoke calm and restoration.

Development partners Black Salmon, The Boschetti Group, and Constellation Group – in collaboration with HQ Hotels & Residences by sbe – launched sales for HQ Residences Miami in November 2025. HQ Residences Miami marks the first-ever residential tower from the iconic HQ brand led by hospitality visionary Sam Nazarian, with partners who include global entertainment legend Marc Anthony. Rooted in HQ’s DNA of “smart lifestyle,” the project transforms the masterminding of Nazarian’s hospitality expertise into a living experience that pulses with creativity, belonging, and the Miami rhythm.

Rising 35 stories at 422 NE 29th Street in the city’s Edgewater neighborhood, offers 229 condominiums ranging one- to three-bedroom layouts, 721 to 2,074 square feet, along with a collection of 8 penthouses. Residences are priced from $850,000, with sales represented exclusively by The Agency, one of the world's leading luxury brokerages, led by Mauricio Umansky and Santiago Arana.

As a next-gen lifestyle brand, HQ Residences globally launched in 2024 by sbe and strategic partners. Hotel properties include Antigua and upcoming destinations such as São Paulo and Miami, continuing to expand its footprint having now selected Miami for its residential debut. The brand reimagines traditional hotels and residences for a new generation, celebrating social hubs rooted in dining, nightlife, wellness, and immersive guest experiences that are infused with celebrities and influential partnerships. It is purpose-built for modern dwellers seeking approachable luxury, blending the vibrancy of boutique hospitality with the reach and reliability of a global network.

HQ Residences Miami will introduce an exceptional lineup of lifestyle offerings and brand partnerships that embody the HQ philosophy. Spanning 15,756 square feet across two dedicated floors, the amenity program was built around four core pillars that define a new standard of contemporary living: Wellness, Entertainment, Community, and Art.

Level 34 is dedicated entirely to the first pillar of wellness and mindfulness. Designed by The Well Founder Kane Sarhan, the experience unfolds with health-oriented activities, from yoga and open-air training terraces to contrast therapy circuits with hammam, sauna, steam, plunge pools and bath-house treatments. A state-of-the-art fitness center supports both high-intensity and mindful recovery, while an AEScape treatment room and massage beds deliver next-level restoration. Outdoors, a resort-style pool deck with pergola lounges and panoramic city vistas blurs the line between residence and retreat.

One level above, entertainment and social life take center stage. A library and a dynamic collaboration space foster both teamwork and quiet focus, while a cutting-edge podcast studio provides a platform for idea sharing. Culinary and cultural moments are brought to life through a chef’s kitchen, designed for shared experiences, dining at TOMA Gourmet by Sofia Vergara and her son Manolo Vergara featuring wellness-forward Latin cuisine, and Jack’s NYC Coffee, the iconic New York roastery making its Miami arrival. As night falls, the vibe continues at Marc’s, a speakeasy curated by Marc Anthony, with skyline views, vinyl collections, and intimate performances. Residents also enjoy access to the HQ Social Club, an exclusive membership connecting them to curated experiences and VIP hospitality offerings across the city and beyond. Grounded in community and belonging, every touchpoint encourages meaningful connection, cultivating an experience defined by shared spirit and a profound sense of home.

Designed by internationally acclaimed firm Arquitectonica, with interiors by award-winning studios DesignAgency and Craft, HQ Residences Miami exudes an “outside-in” philosophy, rooted in design, art and aesthetic harmony. The tower’s bold diagrid façade stands as a sculptural statement, while lush greenery by Enzo Enea climbs its terraces and amenity levels, establishing a vertical garden in motion. Inside, warmth and sophistication permeate every space, with tactile materials and subtle contrasts. Hand-selected marbles, sustainable woods, and refined textiles in soft, neutral tones create harmony between energy and stillness.

Within each residence, refined design meets livable luxury. Expansive terraces extend seamlessly from floor-to-ceiling windows, framing panoramic views of Biscayne Bay and Miami’s skyline while filling interiors with natural light. Open layouts enhance the sense of air and flow, creating spaces that feel both elevated and effortless. Kitchens balance performance and beauty with Italian cabinetry in warm wood tones, natural stone surfaces, and a full suite of integrated designer appliances. Spa-inspired primary bathrooms echo the project’s wellness philosophy with walk-in showers, floating-style dual vanities, and rich material palettes that evoke calm and restoration.

Situated at the crossroads of Wynwood, the Design District, and Midtown, the tower’s Edgewater location is within one of Miami’s most dynamic cultural frontiers. Positioned along 29th Street—one of the neighborhood’s fastest-evolving corridors—HQ Residences Miami sits at the epicenter of rapid growth, surrounded by new luxury developments, the recently opened Whole Foods and next-generation offerings that are redefining the district’s urban fabric. Its centrality provides immediate access to Michelin-starred dining, gallery districts, and waterfront wellness destinations — while remaining less than 15 minutes from Miami International Airport, positioning it as the ideal residence for both local and international buyers. Elevated above the bay yet embedded within the heart of the city’s creative core, HQ Residences Miami offers a rare blend of immersion and escape within a hospitality-driven vertical ecosystem.

Constellation Group and The Boschetti Group Officially Open Cora Merrick Park Sales Gallery in Coral Gables

The new sales gallery for Cora Merrick Park – the first wellness-oriented residences in Coral Gables – is now officially open at 4200 Laguna Street in Coral Gables. On Tuesday, Sept. 30, developers Constellation Group and The Boschetti Group celebrated the grand opening of the gallery with Douglas Elliman Development Marketing, inaugurating the space and giving the community a sneak peek of the luxurious details and wellness features that make this project unique. Guests enjoyed live music, sipped adaptogenic cocktails and wellness elixirs, and participated in immersive demonstrations of red-light therapy panels and lymphatic compression treatments, curated by Centner Wellness. Inside the gallery, guests explored Cora’s signature finishes – natural stone, wood, and tile imported from Europe and around the world.

Designed by Arquitectonica with interiors by Urban Robot, Cora Merrick Park is delivering 74 refined residences priced from the $900,000s to over $4 million to Merrick Park – Coral Gables’ world-class shopping and dining destination. The project is directly across the street from Shops at Merrick Park, and walking distance to downtown Coral Gables and the Metrorail, and just minutes from Coconut Grove, University of Miami and Downtown Miami/Brickell.

“Cora Merrick Park is the first residential community in Coral Gables designed to integrate wellness into everyday living,” said Eduardo Otaola, Managing Principal at Constellation Group. “At the same time, it meets pent-up demand for new luxury product in Coral Gables. Cora offers a compelling alternative to the single-family home market in an irreplaceable location that delivers walkability, community, and the quality-of-life benefits that Coral Gables is known for – all in a finished turnkey-project with world-class amenities.”

Spanish wellness firm Lamarca Well, best known for creating the first wellness hub in Madrid, Spain, is overseeing Cora’s wellness programming. Key components include biophilic design, advanced air and water purification systems, noise-reducing acoustic design, non-toxic building and cleaning materials, a fitness center with a dedicated recovery area, and a spa with infrared sauna, steam room, contrast hydrotherapy (hot and cold) pools, and red-light therapy panels. Additional offerings include a resort-style roof deck pool, yoga and meditation area, lobby tearoom, and the first rooftop padel court in Coral Gables.

“At CORA Merrick Park, we believe wellness isn’t just about offering a product or service – it’s about delivering a lifestyle and creating environments that support lasting change,” said Mischka Capriles, Lamarca Well co-founder.

Lamarca and Arquitectonica will also oversee Cora’s enrollment in the International Well Building Institute (IWBI) WELL for residential program – an evidence-based, third-party certification aimed at creating healthier, more resilient homes.

Located at 4241 Aurora Street, Cora Merrick Park offers 13 unique floor plans, from one-bedrooms to expansive three-bedroom plus den residences. Each home has 10-foot ceilings, Italkraft kitchens, Sub-Zero/Wolf appliances, designer stone countertops, custom porcelain flooring, walk-in closets, and private, expansive lanais in select residences.

Cora offers a design-forward reinterpretation of the Spanish Mediterranean aesthetic through a modern, wellness-focused lens. Classic natural materials are used in novel ways to bring natural sophistication to interior spaces. Coralina stone and marble are paired with a dark stained oak – a nod to Coral Gables’ oak canopy – to create a moody, sexy color palette. Textured lime-wash walls and soft, organic stone forms – from the fluted marble lobby column to the rounded edges of the kitchen islands and bathroom vanities – foster calm and evoke a connection to nature. In the residences, a unique chevron-patterned, porcelain-tile floor from Spain’s Living Ceramics puts a contemporary spin on the classic design motif. Floor-to-ceiling windows usher in natural light to create a modern aesthetic rarely seen in the city.

Hospitality-inspired details, including a striking sculptural reception desk in the lobby and custom property fragrance, bring an added touch of European elegance. Outside, an original sculpture by celebrated Catalan visual artist Jaume Plensa anchors a lush 5,000-square-foot park, underscoring Cora’s seamless blend of art, architecture, and wellness.
