PMG Locks Down $413 Million Construction Loan For One Twenty Brickell Residences

National developer PMG has secured $413 million in construction financing for One Twenty Brickell Residences, a dual-tower luxury mixed-use condominium and rental development rising in the heart of Brickell. The loan covers financing for the condominium, multifamily, commercial, and parking components of the property. An Ares Real Estate fund (“Ares”) and Monarch Alternative Capital provided the financing, which follows a previous collaboration between the two firms on a financing for a PMG property in Wynwood last year.

PMG was represented in the One Twenty Brickell Residences transaction by Jones Lang LaSalle (NYSE: JLL) who, alongside PMG’s Capital Markets team comprised of Andrew Warman, Jon Blank and Paton Marion, secured the financing. One Twenty Brickell Residences will officially break ground the first week of May and is slated for completion in 2028.

“Obtaining this financing stands as an incredible feat at a time when current market conditions are making development of multifamily towers challenging,” said Andrew Warman, Managing Director of Capital Markets at PMG. “Receiving the continued support of the Ares and Monarch teams underscores not only the confidence the capital markets have in PMG as a sponsor, but also our ability to identify a strategy to deliver both luxury for-sale and rental product to the heart of Miami’s thriving business district.”

Designed by internationally renowned architecture firm Sieger Suarez Architects, with interiors by Cotofana Designs, plans for One Twenty Brickell Residences consist of two towers. The first tower will rise 37 stories and offer 266 fully finished and furnished condominium residences, each delivered with first-of-their-kind deeded office suites to residents upon their purchase of a condo unit. The second tower, sharing a podium with the first, will rise 41 stories and offer 537 multifamily residential units operated by the Sentral Management Platform. Each studio- to three-bedroom will include fully-integrated kitchens with custom countertops, a curated high-end appliance package, imported and custom kitchen and bathroom cabinetry by Italkraft, WaterWorks bathroom fixtures, a contemporary lighting package and fully built-out closets in the primary bedrooms. Residences also will offer a high level of efficiency through PMG’s smart home technology experience for seamless personalization with the touch of a button.

“We are grateful to receive the significant support from the Ares and Monarch Alternative Capital teams as we advance on One Twenty Brickell Residences,” Dan Kaplan, Managing Partner at PMG. “At over 91 percent sold, its swift sales success is a testament to the tremendous team at PMG Residential’s hard work and keen understanding of the Brickell market. We’re looking forward to being one step closer to delivering One Twenty Brickell Residences and its revolutionary concept of luxury living to its future residents.”

One Twenty Brickell Residences’ towers offer an impressive collection of amenities thoughtfully designed for socializing, entertaining, and self-care. The over 48,000 square feet of amenities and services available to multifamily residents include a lobby with a concierge service, a modern gym and fitness studio, a pool and hot tub, a grilling terrace, social lounges, a co-working hub, and daily community events. Over 60,000 square feet of condominium-specific amenities are also available, including an owner’s lounge, an infinity-edge pool, a pickleball court with courtside seating, a kid’s club and gym, a cafe and juice bar, and the One Twenty Brickell Residences Wellness & Fitness center, equipped with steam, sauna, and treatment rooms, a relaxation area with outdoor terraces, a state-of-the-art fitness studio with the latest high-tech equipment, a movement studio, and a yoga lawn.

“Ares is pleased to further build on our relationship with PMG with this latest project that capitalizes on the strong demand for luxury housing in Miami,” said Bryan Donohoe, Partner and Head of U.S. Debt in Ares Real Estate. “We look forward to potential future opportunities to provide Ares’ scaled and flexible capital solutions in this dynamic market environment.”

“We are pleased to be a lender-of-choice and work with a best-in-class developer like PMG that has an exceptional presence in the Miami market,” said Joshua Acheatel, Head of Real Estate Acquisitions at Monarch Alternative Capital. “Boasting luxury finishes and extensive amenities, we believe One Twenty Brickell Residences is favorably positioned at a marquee location. We are excited to continue our relationship with PMG and are looking forward to the project’s success.”

Legal representation was spearheaded by PMG’s in-house team consisting of Lowell Plotkin, Scott Buscemi and Lindsay Davis. Outside counsel involved in the financing for One Twenty Brickell Residences include James Godman, Borna Khoshand, and Celeste Williams at Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel LLP, who served as the lead transactional counsel; David Shear, Luis Flores, and Teofilo Victoria at Saul Ewing LLP, who served as condominium counsel and local counsel; Javier Avino and Andres Rivero at Bilzin Sumberg Baena Price & Axelrod LLP, who served as land use counsel; and Evan Wagowski at Greenberg, Trager & Herbst, LLP, who served as construction counsel.

Focus and Group Fox secure administrative site plan approval for Brickell Apartment tower

Focus, a seasoned real estate development and construction firm, and Group Fox, a family-owned property and asset management firm, both headquartered in Chicago, have received administrative site plan approval for their latest project, the 517-unit Brickell Starlite apartment tower. This milestone sets the stage for the development of a 39-story luxury high-rise in the heart of Miami’s Brickell neighborhood.

“We are thrilled to finalize the entitlements on this property in Miami,” said Tim Anderson, CEO and Founder of Focus. “The world-class design, unparalleled location, and favorable zoning were strategically developed to meet the needs of the modern renter flocking to the Brickell neighborhood.”

Located within walking distance of the Brickell Metrorail station, the property will offer seamless access to Miami’s Brightline, Tri-Rail, Metrorail, and Metromover transit systems, providing residents with connectivity across South Florida. The developers and design team, led world renowned architectural firm Gensler, proposed a pedestrian and vehicular paseo at the building’s base, linking 7th and 8th streets. This feature will enhance accessibility to retail spaces within the tower and improve connectivity to the nearby I-95 on- and off-ramps.

The Brickell neighborhood remains a focal point for rental demand in South Florida, driven by a booming economy, favorable tax policies, and national migration trends. In 2024, Miami recorded its most competitive rental market in recent history, with apartments renting in an average of just 33 days and nearly 20 renters vying for each available unit.

Focus and Group Fox are in the final stages of permitting for the project and have enlisted a Cushman & Wakefield team—including Chris Lentz, Chris Moyer, Jeff Altenau, Susan Tjarksen, and Marc Royer—to capitalize the development.

Chris Lentz, Executive Director at Cushman & Wakefield, emphasized the project’s significance: “Brickell Starlite is a landmark multifamily development in Miami’s most vibrant and sought-after Brickell neighborhood and represents one of the only new luxury high-rise multifamily products underway in this well-occupied submarket. With extremely limited new developments coming online in Brickell, and the most recent multifamily deliveries dating back to 2019 and 2021, Brickell Starlite is uniquely positioned to meet the strong sustained demand for luxury.”

Related Companies To Co-Develop Citadel's Waterfront Foster + Partners-Designed 1201 Brickell Bay Drive Supertall

Billionaire hedge fund manager Ken Griffin will be partnering with the New York-based Related Companies to develop co-develop Citadel’s new supertall tower at 1201 Brickell Bay Drive. The project, with a proposed height of 1,032 feet and 54 stories, will be a mixed-use development featuring 1.3 million square feet of office space, a 212-room rooftop hotel, fine dining restaurants, a health spa, fitness club, and more.

Designed by Foster + Partners, the 1.7 million square foot supertall tower will serve as the headquarters for Griffin's Citadel and Citadel Securities. Construction of the $1 billion-plus development is expected to begin in the third quarter of 2025, with plans for subsequent phases that include additional office space, residential units, and parking facilities across the street.

After announcing that both Citadel and Citadel securities will move to Miami from Chicago, Citadel was revealed as the buyer of 1201 Brickell Bay Drive after Tibor Hollo’s Florida East Coast Realty sold the 2.5 acre supertall development lot in a $363 million mega-deal in April 2022. Also in April 2022, Griffin acquired the adjacent 1250 Brickell Bay Drive and 1260 Brickell Bay Drive for $20 million, the lots total roughly 6,655 SF. The lots are adjacent to 1221 Brickell Avenue, which an entity tied to Citadel acquired in June 2022 for $286.5 million. The assemblage of properties spanning from 1221 Brickell Avenue to 1250-1260 Brickell Bay Drive is across the street from 1201 Brickell Bay Drive. The price equated to $145 million per acre, $3,340 PSF dirt value.

Ken Griffin’s net-worth is estimated to be about $31 billion and he has been one of the largest luxury property buyers in the world over the past several years. Also in Miami, Griffin has spent years and $170 million acquiring a Star Island assemblage. He made a splash when he acquired 8 Star Island Drive, a teardown built in 1993 on 1.8-acres, for $75 million. The sale set record for single-family home sales in Miami-Dade County at the time, a record Griffin is no stranger breaking. Griffin has also acquired the adjacent 10 Star Island for $25 million and 11 and 12 Star Island Drive in an off-market deal for roughly $37 million and 13 Star Island for $32.5 million. The acquisitions total $170 million. Griffin also set a record when he was revealed as the buyer in the mega-transaction for the four-acre waterfront Adrienne Arsht compound for a staggering $106,875,000.
