Urban Network Capital Group Reveals 'Visions at Brickell Station' Luxury Condo-Hotel After Completing Brickell Assemblage

Urban Network Capital Group (UNCG) has revealed ‘Visions at Brickell Station’, a luxury condo-hotel aimed at the elevated luxury or business traveler looking for an enhanced experience during their stay. Visions at Brickell Station is the second Visions project for UNCG following the near sell-out of Visions Orlando Spa & Resort, which is a 354-unit luxury vacation hotel community scheduled to break ground imminently. Visions is a newly launched brand by UNCG, with Orlando and now Miami as the sites of the company’s first such developments.

The recently completed assemblage consists of three parcels located at 1120, 1130 and 1136 SW 3rd Avenue in Miami for a total acquisition price of $8,500,000, representing the latest transaction for the Miami-based development company led by real estate veteran Robert Thorne. UNCG has successfully executed over $2 billion in transactions, developing over 70 properties in the single family and multifamily market.

A boutique condo/hotel community located in the heart of the city at 1120 SW 3rd Avenue, Visions at Brickell Station will feature 111 residences ranging from studios to one-bedroom units, with absolutely no rental restrictions. Owners can rent it through a booking platform of their choice or participate in a professionally managed Hotel Program.

The unique, contemporary architectural design by DTI Architects attracts a wide demographic, and the unit mix allows UNCG to tap into an array of pricing options starting from $299,448 for a 321-square-foot studio; $413,124 for a 451-square-foot junior suite; and $501,960 for a 539-square-foot one-bedroom unit.

“One of the most distinctive aspects of the project is its location in the Brickell district, a walkable community that has quickly become one of the nation’s most sought-after urban centers with immediate access to an exhilarating hub of retail, dining and entertainment options,” said Robert Thorne, CEO and founder of UNCG. “Teeming with cultural significance, Visions guests will benefit from the proximity to Brickell City Centre’s high-end boutiques, Brickell Avenue’s fine dining destinations, leafy parks, and world-class cultural and arts institutions that lure a well-traveled, sophisticated citizen who wants to live, work and play in Miami’s exciting epicenter.”

When completed in 2025, the eight-story tower will offer striking style, intimacy, exclusivity, and a myriad of wellness-centered amenities that cater to residents’ every need. Among the many signature elements that enhance the experience of being an owner at Visions at Brickell Station include a state-of-the-art gym with interactive gym equipment, rooftop Infinity pool and terrace, on-site restaurant with food and beverage service, front desk check-in, laundry services and bikeshare program.

Each well-appointed designer residence will feature keyless electronic access, floor to ceiling windows with sweeping views of Miami’s iconic skyline, wood-like ceramic tile floor, quartz countertops and custom Italian cabinetry, and 75″ Smart TVs. With a specialized focus in building communities that are both eco-friendly and wellness-certified, UNCG designed Visions at Brickell Station with in-unit wellness-focused luxuries that include advanced HVAC systems offering purified air and probiotic eco sanitizing diffusion, nontoxic wall coverings, filtered water, aromatherapeutic diffusers, Vitamin C diffusion therapy showers, and lighting to relax and balance the mind.

The investors in the project include Peruvian-based V&V Investments, along with additional private investors. V&V is the leading real estate development company with more than 25 years of experience that ventured into the U.S. market in 2021, building a fast footprint in the Florida market with eleven portfolio projects in Aventura, Coral Gables, Fort Lauderdale, Port Charlotte, Cocoa Village, Orlando and now Brickell, combining the groups’ total projects to over $1.5 billion dollars.

“The success of Visions at Brickell Station’s sister property, Visions Orlando, has been nothing short of extraordinary,” said Fernando de Nunez y Lugones, Principal of Location3 Investments & UNCG, and the individual responsible for V&V’s involvement. “The Visions brand has attracted incredible attention from prospective buyers who recognize the heightened demand of discerning vacation and business visitors looking for an enhanced experience and lifestyle. Identifying that there was a particularly unique need for this product type in the Brickell market, we have no doubt that the response to Visions Brickell Station will be very compelling.”

North Development Launches Revolutionary Condo-Hotel Brand 'Domus' And First Project 'Domus Brickell Park'

Ricardo Dunin, CEO of Oak Capital and the Miami developer who pioneered the South Florida condo-hotel industry in the 90s, and Edifica, one of the largest developers and builders in Peru, have joined forces for the creation of North Development and the launch of DOMUS, a new condo-hotel brand.

North Development’s first project in Miami, Domus Brickell Park, is located the booming Brickell area, at 1611 SW 2nd Avenue, and features 171 fully furnished condo-hotel units rising 12 stories. The studios, one and two-bedroom units, ranging from 330 to 979 square feet, and with prices from the $400,000’s to the $900,000’s, were masterfully designed by Zyscovich Architects, with interiors by Urban Robot. This is the second project between Dunin and Zyscovich, after working together at The Meridian Lofts in Miami Beach.

“Domus Flats is a new condo-hotel brand that will offer the ultimate solution for buyers that want to enjoy their property when in town and maximize rental income when not in residence,” said Ricardo Dunin. “We have incorporated innovative features that have never been seen before and are putting a strong focus on efficiency and hospitality. We have always worked on high end hotels, like when we created the Le Sereno brand in St. Barth, and those are core values that we want transferred to Domus.”

“Our proprietary Domus reservation system, powered by Hosteeva, allows access to over 85 sales channels, that receive over 700 million monthly visits, including all the major channels such as Airbnb, Booking, Expedia, Marriott, which includes the use of Bonvoy points, and several airlines” added Juan Carlos Tassara, managing partner of Edifica. “Our automated dynamic pricing algorithm uses real-time market data to maximize revenue and occupancy.”

Guests can check-in online and receive their unit's access key on their phone before arrival. This not only offers convenience but also increases the building's security by allowing it to get familiar with the guests in advance. The access key is required for elevator use, ensuring that only owners and guests have access to the units. A 24/7 call center for guests will also be available. By eliminating the developer’s ownership of the common areas (commonly known as the “desk”), but still offering professional management for the individual units, owners will pay substantially less in fees without compromising the integrity of the high-end hospitality concept.

Another competitive advantage of the project is that yearly occupancy for more than 6 months and one day in not allowed. This eliminates the natural conflict between permanent residents and the transient rental business, while still allowing for out-of-towners enjoyment of their units when in Miami.

At the heart of the building, in the oversized lobby, is The Peacock Room. This space includes an all-day food and beverage experience, with gourmet coffee, wine, specially brewed beers, and a market. It includes co-working spaces, high speed internet and chill music, which will attract both locals and guests.

Domus Brickell Park features a wellness center, including a steam room and state-of-the-art fitness equipment. There is also a rooftop pool deck with cabanas, a jacuzzi hot tub, a grilling and entertainment area.

The building is expected to open late 2025, and North Development has a long-term interest in utilizing the Domus brand in multiple locations. The project’s sales and marketing for Domus Brickell Park will be exclusively by Cervera Real Estate.

Newgard Development Group To Bring Acclaimed NY Restaurant AVRA Estiatorio To LOFTY Brickell

Forward-thinking real estate developer Newgard Development Group has revealed that the acclaimed Greek restaurant AVRA Estiatorio will be opening in LOFTY Brickell, a 44-story waterfront luxury condominium high-rise under development on the Miami River in the heart of Miami’s financial district. A collaboration between co-founders Nick Tsoulos, Nick Pashalis and Marc Packer, AVRA is a destination that transports diners to the whitewashed islands of Greece with its decor and cuisine including incomparably fresh seafood, vegetables and hand-pressed extra-virgin olive oil.

LOFTY is already one of the Miami condo market’s most successfully sold buildings and the most elevated offering in Newgard Development’s flexible ownership concept. AVRA’s flagship New York location opened on East 48th Street in 2000; today the brand has two more Manhattan locales, another in Beverly Hills, and most recently opened a fifth location at The Estates at Acqualina™ in Sunny Isles Beach. LOFTY will be the restaurant’s second South Florida location.

“We were looking to curate the right restaurant partner that is aligned with the elevated lifestyle that defines our LOFTY brand,” said Newgard Development Group CEO Harvey Hernandez. “AVRA offers a wonderfully creative menu and truly unique dining experience that fully complements the vibe we aim to create for our owners and guests.”

With interiors designed by Rockwell Group, AVRA Brickell will occupy more than 10,000 square feet and have a 300-seat main dining room along with elegant outdoor seating overlooking the Miami River. Other design elements will include a spacious bar area, an expansive seafood display on ice similar to those found at traditional Greek markets, and a sleek aesthetic inspired by the Greek village of Nafpaktos, where Avra’s co-founder Nick Tsoulos was born and brought up.

AVRA’s cuisine is inspired by the seaside tavernas dotted all over Greece’s coast and more than 200 islands. The menu offers iterations of fresh fish with familiar favorites such as branzino, red snapper and wild Dover sole, as well as rarer Mediterranean gems like fagri and lithrini. Picking your seafood from the ice display that features in-season catch is a signature part of the AVRA experience.

The wine program is as impressive as the food with a list that includes more than 1,200 varieties and spans the globe. When it comes to spirits, AVRA’s options number in the hundreds and include 25 varieties. Greek spirits are part of the mix with ouzos and mastichas, and the cocktails are creative and a nod to Greece.

Michael Comras, Michael Silverman and Jeff Evans of the Comras Company of Florida facilitated the lease transaction.

“AVRA is a world-class restaurant that aligns nicely with the LOFTY brand and provides further activation along the Miami River,” said Comras. “We are pleased to be associated with this innovative residential project and look forward to curating other exciting lifestyle-brands for Newgard.”

Designed by Arquitectonica, the 362-unit LOFTY features 309 tower residences including studio, one- and two-bedroom units alongside 40,000 square feet of thoughtfully curated amenities, including a private marina, a members-only social club, resort pool deck and fitness center, indoor/outdoor cigar lounge, co-working lounge and meeting rooms.

LOFTY’s 53-unit Penthouse Collection offers spacious two, three and three-bedroom plus den residences that are curated and will be furnished by revered design firm Artefacto. Penthouse prices range from $1.95 million to over $3.5 million.

Located directly across from Brickell City Centre, LOFTY is the next evolution of condo ownership, conceived to bring a 5-star alternative for the owner and traveler that might prefer to stay and own differently – yet does not want to compromise on the services and amenities of a hotel. Each residence will be delivered fully finished and furnished and, with professional management, will permit short-term rentals.

Cervera Real Estate serves as the exclusive sales and marketing partner for LOFTY Brickell. LOFTY Brickell is located at 99 SW Seventh St., Miami, FL 33130.

On the heels of revealing the distinguished interiors by 1508 London, Cipriani Residences Miami, the brand’s first-ever ground-up residences in the nation, has officially opened its sales gallery in Brickell. This milestone will continue to showcase the effortless style, world-class service, and sense of history and tradition of the Cipriani brand and the strength of the vision conceived by the project’s developer, Mast Capital. Cipriani Residences Miami is reinventing luxury within the Brickell neighborhood, and its sales gallery experience demonstrates the sophisticated lifestyle that residents will enjoy.

“The demand for Cipriani Residences Miami has been overwhelming given the tower’s authentic interpretation of the brand and its central location in the heart of Miami’s Financial District,” said Camilo Miguel, Jr., CEO and Founder of Mast Capital. “The sales gallery is a glimpse into the exceptional service and refined design, with best-in-class finishes and materiality that awaits residents both within their homes and in the amenity spaces.”

Located at 1421 South Miami Avenue directly across from the property, the gallery represents a unique opportunity to understand firsthand the elevated concept being offered at Cipriani Residences Miami. Both buyers and brokers can preview the design elements at the tower, from the living areas’ thoughtful use of high-gloss walnut millwork to the lobby’s dazzling Murano chandeliers, capturing Cipriani’s Italian splendor and century of heritage.

The sales gallery introduces the world-renowned design firm 1508 London, which envisioned the space to embody the essence of the tower and provide a taste of what it would be like to live at Cipriani Residences Miami. Effortless living begins with Cipriani staff greeting guests with the sincere hospitality the brand is revered for. The space is softly backlit and complemented by black-and-white prints of fashion icons and Cipriani patrons alike. Excellent service will ensure every experience at the sales gallery is memorable and exemplary of what’s to come at Cipriani Residences Miami.

To kick off the grand opening, Cipriani Residences Miami’s sales gallery was the venue for a star-studded, red-carpet gala held by the Ibero-American Film Festival Miami. The guest list included celebrities and international dignitaries, such as Amelia Eloisa, Patricia Janiot, Paco Perez Valencia. Additionally, an exclusive brunch for the Miami-Dade chapter of the Ferrari Club of America brought over $20 million in Ferraris to South Miami Avenue. Guests gathered at the sales gallery to dine and celebrate the condo tower that will rise upon just across the street.

Within the grand lounge at the gallery, Taj Mahal flooring epitomizes the sophistication and elegance of Cipriani Residences Miami. The walls feature floor-to-ceiling high-gloss walnut millwork meticulously finished and assembled. A mixture of warm camel and cool blue color palettes honor the classic Cipriani aesthetic reminiscent of Italian yachts, with two six-foot Murano chandeliers overhead. The custom crystal Venetian fixtures are smaller replicas of the chandeliers that will hang proudly in the completed lobby.

Emulating the sleek, modern architecture of Cipriani Residences Miami by award-winning firm Arquitectonica is a nine-foot scale model of the building. With floor-to-ceiling glass and a curved cascading façade, the scale model offers context for the design and can be referenced as construction for the tower progresses directly outside the gallery.

A model kitchen and bathroom indicative of the finishes at the 397 residences complete the Cipriani Residences Miami experience. The open eat-in chef kitchen touts custom Italian cabinetry modeled after Cipriani’s renowned style, as well as top-of-the-line integrated Wolf Sub-Zero appliances. The primary bathroom presented at the sales gallery includes a grand, stand-alone bathtub with a dramatic solid marble backdrop. The shower and separate water closet feel spacious and luxurious opposite the elegant vanity, which features premium high-gloss walnut Italian cabinetry with stainless-steel trimmed drawers, complemented by an imported Calacatta marble countertop.

With fine attention to detail to ensure top quality, the tower will bring a wide array of unprecedented amenities and services to Miami. Residents have exclusive access to around-the-clock dining services by Cipriani, available in the private restaurant, in-home dining, and 24-hour catering services. Dining services extend to the elevated resort deck, where residents can enjoy a Bellini on the sun terrace or lounge in cabanas beside the swimming pools. Residents will have access to one of Brickell’s largest wellness centers spanning four levels, which is separate from a fully equipped state-of-the-art fitness center, as well as a holistic spa, ice plunge, and sauna. Residents wanting space for sporting and competition can visit the golf simulator, pickleball court and screening room for game day. Those who prefer a more serene lifestyle can venture to the library or salon for a treatment. Cipriani Residences Miami also offers the convenience of a private dog park, children’s playroom and à la carte services like plant care, away-from-home maintenance, pet grooming and walking, luxury house limousine transport within a three-mile radius, in-residence spa treatments, personal training and more.

Starting at $1.4 million, Cipriani Residences Miami offers one- to four-bedroom residences ranging from 1,123 to 3,495 square feet, with completion slated for 2026. Sales and marketing efforts for the project are handled exclusively by Fortune Development Sales.

The firm signed a six floor, 115,000 square-foot lease at the tower, the largest new-to-market office lease signed in Miami in 2022.

Kirkland joins the roster of world-leading professional services firms and other global companies at the building, which has become the address of choice for new-to-market firms looking to plant their flag in Miami. International law firms Sidley Austin, Winston & Strawn LLP and Baker McKenzie recently signed leases at 830 Brickell and will occupy a combined 100,000-plus square feet of space. Other blue-chip tenants that have announced plans to open offices at 830 Brickell include Microsoft, financial services company Citadel, New York-based insurance firm A-CAP, private equity firm Thoma Bravo, CI Financial, Marsh Insurance, AerCap and others.

“When OKO Group and Cain set out to develop 830 Brickell, Miami was on the way to becoming a global destination for professional services, finance and technology firms. Today, the city is a vital business hub, with 830 Brickell serving as a catalyst for international companies moving here,” said Vlad Doronin, Chairman and CEO of OKO Group, and Jonathan Goldstein, CEO of Cain International. “The arrival of Kirkland & Ellis, along with the building’s other blue-chip tenants, has solidified 830 Brickell as one of the most desirable office towers in the United States and underscores the strength of the Miami market.”

830 Brickell’s ownership was represented by Cushman & Wakefield’s Brian Gale, Ryan Holtzman and Andrew Trench. Kirkland & Ellis was represented by Neil Goldmacher, Mitchell Millowitz and Ryan Rosalsky of Newmark, and Kevin Kushner of CBRE.

“830 Brickell is the only Class A-plus office building in Miami history to be fully pre-leased ahead of its completion, with the majority of its tenants being major new-to-market corporations. Global companies like Kirkland & Ellis, Microsoft and Citadel are changing the face of Miami’s business landscape and they’re looking to 830 Brickell as their home in one of the world’s most dynamic cities,” said Andrew Trench, Executive Director of Cushman & Wakefield.

830 Brickell was designed by renowned architecture firm Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill, with interiors by Italian architecture and design company Iosa Ghini Associati.
