Related Group and Alta Developers Deliver Casa Bella Residences by B&B Italia in Downtown Miami

B&B Italia has spent over 60 years defining how the world furnishes its homes. Today, for the first time, it has built one. Related Group and Alta Developers have officially delivered Casa Bella Residences by B&B Italia (Casa Bella Residences) at 1400 Biscayne Boulevard. Developed in partnership with the revered Italian design company, the tower brings B&B Italia's award-winning approach to form and craft into the brand’s own residential development for the first time.

Rising 650 feet across 56 stories, the tower claims its place among Miami's tallest residential addresses, with sweeping views of the downtown skyline and Biscayne Bay. Of its 319 luxury residences, including 10 penthouses, over 90% are already under contract, with closings now underway.

"Casa Bella represents a first for a design house that's spent nearly six decades defining Italian craftsmanship, and we're proud that Miami is where B&B Italia chose to build it," said Nick Pérez, President of Related Group's Condominium Division. "This tower is a true collaboration between architecture, craftsmanship and hospitality, and with our first residents now home, that vision has become reality."

A DESIGN ICON’S RESIDENTIAL DEBUT

Casa Bella is the first fully realized residential expression of B&B Italia's design philosophy, led by renowned Italian Architect and Designer Piero Lissoni. The collaboration extends a legacy that has previously brought B&B Italia's design language to partnerships with Bulgari, Rolex, Gucci and Rolls-Royce, now interpreted into a fully residential setting for the first time.

Working in close collaboration with Arquitectonica on architecture and Enzo Enea on landscape design, Lissoni, through his firm Lissoni New York, personally curated the tower's interiors, from its grand lobby to its layered shared spaces.

"Furniture and architecture are not so different, both are about how a person moves through space, and how that space makes them feel," said Piero Lissoni. "With Casa Bella by B&B Italia, we had the chance to bring everything B&B Italia believes about proportion, material and craft into a home for the first time. It is not a showroom. It is where people will actually live, and that changes everything about how you design."

Throughout the interiors, Lissoni brings B&B Italia’s distinctly contemporary Italian sensibilities to Miami, favoring clean lines, refined proportions and a sense of understated sophistication. B&B Italia furnishings extend that design language throughout the building’s common areas and amenities, creating a cohesive experience that feels considered from the moment residents arrive through the private spaces above.

That relationship shows in the details: sleek ITALKRAFT cabinetry, Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, and countertops and fixtures hand-picked by Lissoni throughout each residence. Every home includes two private elevators and a private vestibule with biometric access control, soaring ceilings and pass-through layouts framing panoramic water and skyline views.

With only select homes remaining, the Cielo and Penthouse Collections represent Casa Bella's final and most coveted opportunity, with each residence commanding uninterrupted views of Biscayne Bay and Casa Bella's most complete expression of the vision Lissoni and B&B Italia set out to build.

On floors 48 through 51, the 16 residences of the Cielo Collection bring Piero Lissoni’s distinctive design language to the tower’s upper reaches, pairing generous interiors with a vertical estate lifestyle rooted in contemporary Italian design.

Crowning the tower, the Penthouse Collection comprises just 10 residences across seven distinct floor plans, each with 12-foot ceilings, fully furnished by B&B Italia with imported Italian finishes, custom kitchens and closets hand-crafted by the brand's in-house team. Exquisite corner residences take the experience further still, with private rooftop terraces, spa pools and indoor/outdoor summer kitchens for ultimate dining and entertaining experiences.

"These crowning residences are the Casa Bella jewels at its fullest expression," said Francesco Farina, Principal Contract to B&B Italia. "Everything we believe about Italian design, precision, restraint, a refusal to compromise on quality, is present throughout, and especially palpable in the Cielo and Penthouse Collections. This is B&B Italia's philosophy passionately infused into a home, without exception."

A LIFESTYLE BUILT ON ITALIAN HOSPITALITY

Casa Bella's two full floors of amenities are carefully considered around wellness, entertaining and everyday ease. The 360 Wellness Center pairs a fitness hall overlooking the bay with dedicated yoga studios, a spa and beauty salon, flowing naturally into social spaces that include a private theater, wine cellar, game room, children’s playroom and co-working lounge.

Outdoors, Enzo Enea's Italian-inspired gardens surround an 80-foot lap pool with private cabanas and shaded lounges, a poolside bar and Mediterranean café, an open-air yoga lawn, pickleball court and private dining and grilling areas.

The experience culminates nearly 650 feet above Miami at the 56th-floor Sky Pool Terrace, where a second pool, rooftop lounge and private observatory complete sweeping views of the skyline and beyond.

A CATALYST FOR DOWNTOWN'S ARTS & CULTURE DISTRICT

Casa Bella's opening is the culmination of a years-long vision. Related Group and Alta Developers broke ground in November 2023, with Coastal Construction serving as general contractor and Cain International providing construction financing. Its completion lands in a Downtown Miami reshaped by two decades of investment, from the opening of Brightline's MiamiCentral Station to the continued build-out of Miami Worldcenter.

According to the Miami Downtown Development Authority's 2025 Demographics Report, more than 101,000 people now call Downtown Miami home, a nearly 68% increase since 2012, as cultural institutions, lifestyle options and public art have reshaped the neighborhood.

The tower sits minutes from the Pérez Art Museum Miami, the Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science, Kaseya Center and the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts, placing residents at the center of Miami's cultural core.

“It matters not just where you live; yet, still, how you live. A balanced merge between visionary developers, architects, and B&B Italia,” adds Farina.

"Casa Bella is proof of what's possible when a developer and a renowned design house share the same standard for craftsmanship," said Raimundo Onetto, Principal & CEO of Alta Developers. "This is a neighborhood we've believed in for years, long before it became what it is today, and to see it delivered exactly as we envisioned it is what makes this moment matter."

Related Group and Alta Developers Top Off Casa Bella Residences by B&B Italia In Downtown Miami

Leading real estate developer Related Group and partner Alta Developers held a “topping off” ceremony for Casa Bella Residences by B&B Italia on July 9th, 2025, bringing the 56-story tower one step closer to completion with over 90% of units already in contract.

Completion is slated for summer 2026.

As the first residential partnership for B&B Italia – the famed Italian design house known around the world for its high-end collaborations with legacy brands such as Rolex, Hermès and Rolls-Royce – Casa Bella is envisioned as a refined oasis. With architecture by award-winning firm Arquitectonica and interiors by the renowned designer and former B&B Italia creative director Piero Lissoni, every aspect of the building seamlessly blends a distinctive contemporary Italian aesthetic with Miami’s sleek, cosmopolitan sensibility.

“Reaching the topping off milestone at Casa Bella is especially meaningful because it brings us one step closer to delivering a project that merges exemplary European style and craftsmanship with the energy and soul of Downtown Miami,” said Nick Pérez, President of Related’s Condominium Division. “Casa Bella reflects a rare collaboration between global design icons and Miami-based visionaries, and we’re proud to see that vision come to life with such strong support from buyers.”

The building’s 319 residences range from one to four bedrooms and offer soaring ceilings, sweeping views, private elevator access, state-of-the-art kitchens with Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, and an exquisite selection of European fixtures hand-picked by the B&B Italia team.

Casa Bella’s Penthouse Collection comprises 10 exquisite homes with seven distinct floor plans, including a pair of triplex residences with private rooftop terraces, each featuring spa pools and indoor/outdoor summer kitchens with panoramic views of the Biscayne Bay. These penthouses come fully furnished by B&B Italia, delivering a turnkey luxury living experience defined by world-class craftsmanship and timeless Italian design.

Bringing new meaning to sophisticated Italian living, a comprehensive array of amenities leave little to be desired. A world-class wellness center caters to fitness-minded residents, featuring professional-level equipment, as well as dedicated yoga and spin rooms, while the spa facilities offer on-demand services including massages, facials, blowouts and manicure/pedicures. Additional highlights include a spacious venue for hosting events, a wine vault and private tasting lounge, as well as a plush private theater and co-working spaces.

Outdoors, landscape architect Enzo Enea envisioned a pool deck with lush Italian-inspired gardens to create an oasis within Downtown Miami. The 80-foot lap pool is surrounded by private cabanas and shaded lounge areas, as well as an open-air lawn for yoga and meditation. A poolside bar and Mediterranean café will have light bites and refreshments on offer. On the 56th floor, residents can access the tower’s rooftop pool and terrace, which is complete with a state-of-the-art observatory.

Located within minutes of Miami’s most desired attractions, Casa Bella offers seamless access to esteemed cultural institutions including the Museum of Art and Design, Pérez Art Museum, The Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science, Miami Heat’s Kaseya Arena, and the city’s see-and-be-seen districts: Wynwood, Miami Design District, Miami Beach, Brickell and Coconut Grove.

Related Group and partner Alta Developers have closed on $240 million in financing for the highly-anticipated residential tower, Casa Bella Residences by B&B Italia (Casa Bella), which broke ground earlier this month in Downtown Miami’s burgeoning Arts and Cultural District.

The capital infusion will fund the construction of the 56-story Italian-inspired condominium tower, which is slated to reach completion in 2026.

“We’re proud to partner with Cain to bring Casa Bella Residences by B&B Italia to life,” said Nick Pérez, President of Related’s Condominium Division. “This collaboration underscores our commitment to creating an exceptional residential product that will enhance and elevate the surrounding neighborhood.

The transaction builds upon Cain’s existing investments in Miami which include 830 Brickell, Una Residences and The Delano. Cain has originated over $7.5 billion in loans globally since its founding in 2014 and has committed over $2 billion in new loans throughout the United States since 2019.

“This was an opportunity to build on the core principles that have guided our lending strategy to date; working with outstanding sponsors to deliver exceptional assets in markets we believe in,” said Matthew Rosenfeld, Head of U.S. Debt at Cain International. “We are thrilled to be partnering with Related as they continue to shape the future of this leading global city.”

Newmark arranged the transaction with a Debt and Structured Finance team led by Co-Presidents Jordan Roeschlaub and Dustin Stolly alongside Executive Managing Director Nick Scribani, and Holden Witkoff.

Monaco Yacht Club & Residences Receives TCO, Begin Closings In Miami Beach

Monaco Yacht Club & Residences, the widely-anticipated, new boutique Bayfront residences and private marina in Miami Beach, has received its temporary certificate of occupancy (TCO), signaling the start of closings. The project was developed by Optimum Asset Management USA. Monaco Yacht Club & Residences offers just thirty-nine luxurious waterfront residences delivered fully finished with curated interiors by two of the most esteemed names in design, Piero Lissoni and Arquitectonica.

In addition to announcing this milestone, Optimum Asset Management USA has disclosed that only two residences remain – including a two-bedroom, two-and-a-half bathroom, plus den, villa with direct marina access and boat slip -- as the tower rapidly approaches a complete sell-out.

“Seeing Monaco Yacht Club & Residences come to fruition and receive TCO is an especially proud moment,” said Matthew Barry, Managing Director of Optimum Asset Management USA. “The global response to the tower has been nothing short of compelling and a testament to its international appeal. We are thrilled to be showcasing this building to the world and celebrating the continued excitement surrounding its unveiling.”

Monaco Yacht Club & Residences feature one to four-bedroom residences, ranging in size from 918 to nearly 5,000 square feet, and two one-of-a-kind penthouses with spacious living areas, private terraces and summer kitchens. Primed for indoor/outdoor living and entertaining, the meticulously designed homes feature expansive wraparound terraces – each with sweeping views of Biscayne Bay, the Atlantic Ocean and the Miami skyline – as well as contemporary Italian kitchens by Boffi.

Additional highlights within the residences include stone countertops, 10 to 11-foot-high ceilings throughout, large walk-in closets, private elevator entrances, and premium bathroom interiors featuring imported Italian marble flooring, large tubs and frameless, glass-enclosed rainfall showers with designer faucets.

“The DNA of the Côte d’Azur is reflected in every single design element of Monaco Yacht Club & Residences, giving residents the unique opportunity to live the one-of-a-kind South of France lifestyle,” said Edgardo Defortuna, president and CEO of Fortune International Group, the exclusive brokerage of the project. “We have a lot of excited residents that we cannot wait to welcome and celebrate the very best Miami Beach has to offer.”

Each of the modern unit interiors were meticulously curated with precise attention to detail, inclusive of the refined Italian-made fixtures and finishes, while a design palette of warm whites and rich woods was used for the lobby and the premier “Resident’s Lounge,” which features a library and breakfast bar for leisurely waterfront dining.

“It has been an honor to be part of the construction of this amazing architectural gem,” said Brett Atkinson, President of South Florida for Moss Construction, the tower’s general contractor. “It was a pleasure to work with Optimum Asset Management USA; we could not have reached TCO without our experienced subcontractors and suppliers.”

The nautically-themed, 12-story boutique building features a variety of resort-style amenities, including a rooftop terrace featuring panoramic views of the Miami skyline and a pool with poolside chaise lounge chairs, Jacuzzi and shaded lounge areas with a grill for entertaining. Offering the best of a yachtsman’s lifestyle, a 12-slip marina is exclusively available to residents of Monaco Yacht Club & Residences, as well as a yachting concierge and other waterfront amenities such as paddle boarding and kayaking.

Units at Monaco Yacht Club & Residences are priced from $1.1 million with exclusive sales and marketing overseen by Fortune Development Sales.

B&B Italia Is Distilling The best of Italian Living in Miami’s Downtown

Nobody does luxury quite like Italy. From unmatched gastronomy, to revered art and design, the Italian peninsula offers a sense of style unlike anywhere else in the world. 

This focus on form and beauty has long defined Italian design, whether it be in automobiles, fashion, interior design or home furnishings. Italian design always stands out, with countless attempts to emulate the Mediterranean region’s understated, yet exquisitely refined aesthetic. 

Based in Novedarte, Italy, B&B Italia is not content retreading previously explored ideas, however. Working with visionaries, like Artistic Director, Piero Lissoni, the world-renowned design house is working to reimagine the quintessential Italian ‘look’ for a new generation of connoisseurs. 

The approach has proven to be highly successful, with robust growth and an impressive stable of A-list collaborators, including iconic brands like Rolex, Piaget, Rolls Royce, Fendi, Apple and many more. 

B&B Italia is now venturing into the luxury real estate space, partnering with development powerhouses Related Group and Alta Developers, to deliver their first-ever residential property. 

Casa Bella Residences by B&B Italia is an exclusive luxury condominium located in the heart of Miami’s downtown neighborhood, just steps from the sparkling waters of Biscayne Bay. With architecture by Arquitectonica and interiors hand-curated by Piero Lissoni and the B&B Italia team, every aspect of the 55-story tower is envisioned as an oasis, offering a refined Miami aesthetic rooted in contemporary Italian design. 

We recently sat down with Francesco Farina, Chief Executive Officer for B&B Italia’s US operations to learn more about Casa Bella Residences by B&B Italia.

Why is B&B Italia venturing into branded real estate? What kind of draw does this hold for you and your team? 

Miami plays an integral role within the arts and design community. Our company believes that it is important, being a leading brand in design, to have a place to tell our story, and Casa Bella Residences by B&B Italia allows the brand to bring the exquisite experience of Italian design to life in Miami. 

Casa Bella Residences by B&B Italia is supposed to distill the very best of Italian design. What does that mean to you? 

B&B Italia continues to stand out for both its representation of contemporary culture as well as its research and innovation. There is a fruitful partnership that we have between the company’s Research and Development Center, a workshop for excellent ideas, and the best international design professionals outstanding talent, which has resulted in the creation of iconic products that have defined our brand.

This is a unique project for B&B Italia. Your team is handling furnishings while Piero Lissoni handles interior designs. Does this type of approach give your team greater creative freedom? 

This sort of approach gives us the ability to really work with Piero in a unique way outside of his role as Artistic Director for B&B Italia. Piero has played a key role across many other Related projects, which gives us a leg up of sorts. He helps us anticipate challenges unique to the development world and helps us deliver an even higher quality product.

New Renderings Revealed Of The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Pompano Beach

Fortune International Group and Oak Capital have revealed new Piero Lissoni-designed interior and new exterior renderings of The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Pompano Beach. The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Pompano Beach will be first luxury address in Pompano Beach and the property will offer 205 residences and over 35,000 square feet of resort-style amenities with stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean and Intracoastal Waterway. The highly amenitized property is the first ever to offer two distinct towers, Beach Tower on the pristine sands of Pompano Beach to the east and Marina Tower with an intracoastal experience and private marina to the west, both of which will be complemented by legendary Ritz-Carlton service.

The interiors and landscape design at The Ritz Carlton Residences, Pompano Beach is designed by Piero Lissoni, who is creative director for Alpi, B&B Italia, Boffi, Living Divani, Lema, Lualdi, Porro and Sanlorenzo for whom he also designs an extensive range of products. Recognized as one of the masters of contemporary design, he has worked with many international brands including Alessi, Antrax, Atlas Concorde, B&B Italia, Bonacina1889, Cappellini, Cassina, Cotto, and more. The architectural design is by Revuelta Architecture International.

“The project of Lissoni New York regards the interior of the two residential towers: one facing the ocean and the other overlooking a marina. Maintaining the same language but defined individually to lend a specific character to each building, the aim was to design environments that were comfortable and welcoming and create sophisticated places for relaxation and socialization, introducing a new lifestyle opportunity for the area of Pompano Beach in South Florida.” Said Piero Lissoni.

The 14-story Marina Tower provides an equally stunning location just across the street from Beach Tower, overlooking 250 feet of waterfront between the Intracoastal Waterway and Pompano Beach’s South Ocean Boulevard. The tower offers 88 residences with sunset views, including four penthouses, which range in size from one to four bedrooms, spanning 917 to 3,947 square feet.

The 32-story Beach Tower offers a prime location on the sands of Pompano Beach with 250 feet of ocean frontage on 2.25 acres of land. A selection of 117 oceanfront residences, including two penthouses, range in size from one to five bedrooms, spanning 1,309 to over 6,824 square feet.

“In the east tower (The Beach Tower), the connection and dialogue with the ocean are amplified right from the entrance by the presence of large pools that flank the approach to the reception. The contemporary design defined by pure lines and forms is expressed through natural materials and light colors with touches of rich blue, while in the west tower (The Marina Tower) the hues are slightly darker. The inspirations for both buildings come from the nautical world and from the warm and Mediterranean atmosphere of a yacht club, while the detailed and almost theatrical lighting design is also elemental in cultivating intimate and welcoming environments. Large glazed volumes define the spaces and appear to bring the lush Caribbean nature indoors.” Said Lissoni.

The two towers offer an expansive array of over 35,000 square feet of curated amenity space. The Residences will offer a Marina Yacht Club with a private resident marina, an oceanfront Beach Club, sports courts, tropical pool decks, indoor-outdoor social areas, on-premise dining, and much more to further enhance the overall living experience

“The landscape design is closely tied to the locality and highlights exotic native species that interplay with the clean and linear geometry of the hardscape, producing a sinuous terrain that calls to mind the forms of desert dunes.” Said Lissoni. “Both inside and outside, water is a central element that dialogues continually with the architecture, becoming a part of it and generating pathways and connections in the process.”

Fortune International Sales is the exclusive sales and marketing team for The Residences, with homes priced from $1 million and completion slated for 2025. The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Pompano Beach are located at 1380 S. Ocean Blvd. in Pompano Beach, Florida.
