Development Spotlight: Colette Residences

Situated between Brickell's vibrant financial district and the tree-lined streets of Coconut Grove, the South Brickell neighborhood has become one of the city's most desirable addresses for buyers seeking a more intimate luxury living experience while remaining connected to the energy of Miami's urban core. Few Miami neighborhoods offer the balance of urban convenience and residential tranquility found in South Brickell.

Among the developments redefining boutique luxury living in the neighborhood is Colette Residences, an exclusive collection of just 34 residences developed by META Development with pricing starting at $2.79 million. Designed by internationally acclaimed architecture and interior design firm OSPA, the project emphasizes expansive floor plans, thoughtful architecture, and highly personalized living. The recent $15 million sale of four residences—combined into two custom duplex townhomes totaling more than 9,000 square feet—further reinforces growing demand for boutique developments that offer customization, privacy, and the scale typically associated with single-family homes.

Project Overview

Located at 1880 Brickell Avenue, Colette Residences is a boutique luxury condominium consisting of just 34 residences across five residential levels. Rather than maximizing density, the project prioritizes spacious residences, generous outdoor living, and carefully curated amenities that create an elevated residential experience.

Designed around the concept of "Built for the Few. Admired by the Many," Colette blends contemporary architecture with lush landscaping and refined interior spaces, creating a residential environment that feels both private and connected to the surrounding neighborhood.

Why It Matters

While Brickell has become synonymous with high-rise condominium living, buyer preferences continue shifting toward developments offering greater privacy, lower density, and larger residences.

Colette reflects that evolution. With only 34 homes, expansive floor plans, and opportunities for customization—including the recent assemblage of four residences into two duplex townhomes—the project represents a growing segment of Miami's luxury condominium market where exclusivity often outweighs scale.

Architecture & Design

Architecture and interior design are led by internationally recognized design firm OSPA and Bellon Architecture, whose vision combines contemporary architecture with warm natural materials and generous landscaping throughout the building.

The five-level design creates interconnected open-air spaces filled with natural light while maintaining privacy between residences. Floor-to-ceiling glass, expansive terraces, natural wood detailing, and lush landscaping soften the building's contemporary architecture and reinforce its boutique character.

The project also features landscape architecture by David O. Design.

Residences

Colette offers an exclusive collection of residences designed for spacious indoor-outdoor living with pricing starting at $2.79 million with sales overseen by the Eklund | Gomes Team at Douglas Elliman Development Marketing.

• Approximately 2,144 to 3,180 square feet

Kobi Karp-Designed The Cove Residences, A Waterfront Collection, To Offer In-Home Concierge Medical Care to Residents

The Cove Residences, the 40-story boutique waterfront condominium rising in Miami’s Edgewater neighborhood, has announced a partnership with Healthcare on Demand, a premium healthcare concierge program designed to bring personalized medical care directly into residents’ homes. Powered by Healthcare On Demand, the new white-glove offering provides physician house calls, diagnostics and testing, recovery treatments and prescription delivery seven days a week. Included as part of ownership, the service will be available to residents at no additional membership cost as soon as residents move in. As luxury buyers increasingly prioritize health as an essential component of everyday living, the new program elevates the residential experience with proactive, modern wellness, further enriching The Cove Residences' exclusive waterfront lifestyle.

“Luxury living is evolving, and buyers are placing greater value on services that support their health,” said Joseph Stern, Co-Founder and Principal at SB Development, who is developing the project alongside Hazelton Capital Group. “At The Cove Residences, we wanted to create a lifestyle that feels effortless and deeply connected to wellbeing. Bringing healthcare into the home gives residents a level of access and peace of mind that goes far beyond a traditional amenity.”

Envisioned as a seamless approach to personal health, the new Healthcare On Demand concierge delivers rare convenience to owners of the tower’s 134 one- to four-bedroom residences. The healthcare concierge is tied to each residence rather than a specific individual, so owners, family members and guests will be able to access the included services within the home. At a time when coordinating medical appointments often requires significant advance planning, residents can access the highest standards of professional care without any scheduling stress, waiting rooms or unnecessary travel. Services include all facets of medical care, from pediatrics to women’s health, diagnostics like rapid labs, bloodwork X-rays and ultrasounds, as well as wellness and performance treatments such as IV therapy, vitamin boosts, anti-aging programs and joint recovery.

“Wellness is no longer limited to a gym or spa. It has become part of the way people evaluate their homes, their routines and their quality of life,” said Adam Westreich, Principal at Hazelton Capital Group. “The healthcare concierge at The Cove Residences is about giving residents the ability to prioritize their health without disrupting their lives. It is personal, private and available when they need it.”

The introduction of the on-call healthcare service reflects a broader shift toward wellness-driven living, a concept that The Cove Residences also embraced for its design and expansive amenity collection. The development features a state-of-the-art fitness center, yoga room, spa with cold plunge, massage rooms, hammam and sauna, outdoor meditation and Zen Garden, resort-style infinity pool, private cabanas and direct Baywalk access.

Outside of the wellness programming, residents will have access to a full suite of lifestyle amenities designed for work, entertaining and daily ease, including a business center with co-working space, reception and conference rooms, private offices, a theater room, private dining room with chef’s kitchen, game and billiards room, owner’s lounge with wine storage and children’s playroom. Rooftop summer kitchens with grills and seating, a waterside restaurant, water sports dock, pet spa, and valet parking with electric vehicle charging capability will further support a connected, service-oriented residential experience.

Located at 496 NE 29th Street, The Cove Residences is a leading Miami development featuring spacious residences with floor-to-ceiling glass, impressive wrap-around terraces, and interior finishes that emphasize natural textures and materials, blending indoor and outdoor living. With architecture by Kobi Karp Architecture and interiors by Dieguez Fridman Design, the homes provide both park and direct water frontage, sitting just 25 feet from the seawall. Pricing at The Cove Residences starts at $795,000. Completion is expected in 2028.

Douglas Elliman Development Marketing is exclusively handling sales and marketing at The Cove Residences.

Single Buyer Acquires Four Residences For $15 Million at META Development's Colette Residences to Create Two Custom Duplex Townhomes

Four residences which will be combined into two duplex townhomes have sold for $15 million at Colette Residences, a boutique luxury condominium development in South Brickell being developed by META Development. The transaction marks one of the project's most significant sales to date and underscoring continued demand for highly customized, large-format residences in Miami's urban core.

The transaction involved a single international buyer acquiring four residences totaling 9,029 square feet, which will be combined into two separate duplex townhouses. The residences traded for $1,661 per square foot and will occupy two full floors within the development, creating a uniquely scaled living experience rarely available in the Brickell market.

Represented by South Florida’s leading luxury residential sales team Eklund | Gomes and designed by renowned architecture and interior design firm OSPA, the future duplex townhouses reflect a growing preference among luxury buyers and investors for expansive, customizable residences that offer the privacy and exclusivity of a single-family home within a boutique condominium setting.

"This transaction speaks to the growing demand for larger, more personalized living environments within Miami's luxury residential market," said Andrew Rasken, CEO of META Development. "Today's buyers are looking beyond traditional condominium layouts and are increasingly seeking opportunities to create residences tailored to their individual lifestyles and long-term investment strategies. Colette was designed with that flexibility and level of exclusivity in mind."

Located in South Brickell, Colette Residences is a 38-residence boutique condominium, offering a refined alternative to larger high-rise developments. The project emphasizes privacy, connection to community, thoughtful design, and spacious floor plans, attracting buyers seeking a more intimate residential experience in one of Miami's most desirable neighborhoods.

"What makes this transaction so noteworthy is not just the $15 million price tag, but the buyer's vision," said Fredrik Eklund, Founder of Eklund | Gomes. "We're seeing sophisticated buyers move away from standardized luxury and toward residences that can be tailored to their exact needs. The ability to acquire four homes and create two expansive duplex townhouses in a boutique building like Colette is incredibly rare in Brickell, and it speaks to the project's unique appeal."

The assemblage further reinforces demand for boutique luxury developments that offer customization opportunities not typically found within larger condominium projects. With a limited collection of residences available, Colette continues to attract discerning domestic and international buyers seeking both lifestyle and investment opportunities in South Florida.

Construction activity at the project is expected to advance in the coming months as META Development moves forward with the next phase of development.

The Cove Residences, A Waterfront Collection, Officially Launches Sales and Breaks Ground in Edgewater

SB Development and Hazelton Capital Group have officially launched sales and broken ground on The Cove Residences, A Waterfront Collection, a 40-story boutique luxury development rising on the waterfront of Miami’s Edgewater neighborhood. Elevating life directly on Biscayne Bay, The Cove Residences features 134 one- to four-bedroom private condominiums, each featuring floor-to-ceiling glass, expansive wrap-around terraces, and interior finishes that emphasize natural textures and materials, blending indoor and outdoor living.

As The Cove Residences comes to market and reveals an enriched lifestyle centered on wellness, nature and exclusivity, the building is simultaneously celebrating its groundbreaking, an important construction milestone signifying certainty in the market. With a new sales gallery also opening, the project is rapidly gaining momentum as it advances toward an expected 2028 delivery.

“The Cove Residences will bring an important new residential offering to Edgewater: a highly personal, thoughtfully considered lifestyle connected to nature,” said Joseph Stern, Co-Founder and Principal at SB Development. “The residences deliver an intimate experience surrounded by the energy of the city while also immersing owners in the calm and serenity of Biscayne Bay. Striking this balance was crucial to our concept, and we’re excited to bring it to life.”

Perfectly positioned along the waterfront in Edgewater, one of Miami’s most sought-after neighborhoods, The Cove Residences offers thoughtful architecture and curated interiors at the highest level. Kobi Karp Architecture & Interior Design and Dieguez Fridman Architects, two globally renowned design teams behind some of the most well-known residential and hospitality projects across Miami, New York, and Latin America, collaborated on a design that complements the building’s waterfront setting. They introduce spacious floor plans overlooking unobstructed sunrise and sunset views, with finishes including custom kitchens, spa-like baths, and tailored details throughout. Starting prices are in the $900,000s.

“There are limited opportunities to live directly on the waterfront in Miami, so The Cove Residences emphasizes its enviable location in Edgewater, providing both park and direct water frontage and sitting just 25 feet from the seawall,” said Adam Westreich, Principal at Hazelton Capital Group. “This is a very special site, and we’ve designed a privileged residential experience that showcases that and aligns with how people want to live today.”

The building’s amenity collection reflects this philosophy. The program includes a waterfront infinity pool, a state-of-the-art fitness center, dedicated wellness spaces, shared work areas, a game and billiards lounge, and a grand theater. Residents will also benefit from a premium healthcare concierge focused on long-term wellbeing, along with on-demand car-sharing access that brings added ease to daily life. Complementing the project’s park and water frontage, a private docking amenity will offer rare direct bay access.

Leading the sales and marketing for The Cove Residences is the Eklund | Gomes team at Douglas Elliman Development. Following an initial presale campaign by One World Properties, which validated demand and established a strong foundation for success, the Eklund | Gomes team is building on this important groundwork to bring the project to completion. Backed by the full Douglas Elliman network, the team is significantly expanding the project’s buyer pool, leveraging a strong New York City presence and deep international reach.

“Edgewater has quickly become one of Miami’s most compelling waterfront neighborhoods, and opportunities like this are increasingly rare,” said Fredrik Eklund, who is leading sales at the project. “With just 134 oceanfront homes, we are thrilled to introduce The Cove Residences to buyers seeking a wellness and design-driven product directly on Biscayne Bay. This is a project that truly stands out in today’s market."

Located in the heart of Miami with convenient access to the Miami Design District, Wynwood, Downtown Miami and Miami Beach, Edgewater is one of the city’s most active luxury corridors. Residents are moments from Michelin-recognized restaurants and destination dining with waterfront spots such as Amara at Paraiso and Klaw, and a vibrant mix of cafés and galleries. The neighborhood is also adjacent to Miami’s cultural core, including the Pérez Art Museum, the Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science, and the Adrienne Arsht Center.

The project’s groundbreaking comes on the heels of the project’s $170 million in construction and land financing from Bravo Property Trust and IDB. Kaufman Lynn Construction has been appointed as general contractor.

Situated minutes from Brickell’s business core yet set within a peaceful, park-filled enclave, Colette residents enjoy walkable access to waterfront promenades, fine dining, and cultural destinations, all while maintaining the tranquility of a low-rise community. “We’re seeing interest from buyers who’ve outgrown the hustle of Brickell’s high-rise district,” explained Sales Director Pietro Belmonte. “They still want proximity to the city’s restaurants and nightlife, but they crave a calmer, more livable environment with a neighborhood feel.”

The Colette Sales Gallery will open on November 12, 2025, at 3390 Mary Street, Suite #124, Coconut Grove, FL 33133. Visitors can experience an immersive virtual tour, scale model, and full-size model kitchen and bath to preview the building’s design vision and lifestyle offering.
