OKO Group, the international real estate development firm founded by investor and developer Vlad Doronin and The Bastion Collection, a global leader in fine dining and luxury hospitality with a portfolio distinguished by 10 Michelin Stars and 3 Michelin Keys since 2019, have revealed a landmark partnership atop 830 Brickell, Miami’s premier 55-story Class A office tower.

OKO Group, the international real estate development firm founded by investor and developer Vlad Doronin and The Bastion Collection, a global leader in fine dining and luxury hospitality with a portfolio distinguished by 10 Michelin Stars and 3 Michelin Keys since 2019, have revealed a landmark partnership atop 830 Brickell, Miami’s premier 55-story Class A office tower.

The first building of its kind to be developed in the city for over a decade, 830 Brickell is a fitting home for the collaboration between OKO and Bastion who will bring a distinctive blend of business sophistication and vibrant social energy to Miami’s culinary landscape—filling a necessary niche in the city. The debut concept from the partnership introduces Seia, a contemporary Italian restaurant and private membership club located on the highest two floors of the tower (54th and 55th), complete with an expansive open terrace and panoramic views over Miami’s bustling financial district.

The two intrinsically connected yet distinct spaces, with interiors designed by Zervudachi, Roberts and Macadam London, will launch in 2026, complemented by an exclusive all-day café available to 830 Brickell tenants. Developed by OKO Group and Cain International, the newly delivered contemporary office tower brings a prestigious commercial offering to Miami’s Brickell Financial District – often referred to as the “Wall Street of the South.” The fully-leased building’s roster of best-in-class global tenants includes Microsoft, Citadel, Kirkland & Ellis, Marsh, Sidley Austin, Corient (formerly known as CI Financial), Thoma Bravo, Santander Bank, A-CAP, among others.

A distinguished partner to bring a refined hospitality offering to the area, The Bastion Collection’s stellar reputation in Miami is underscored by two acclaimed restaurants in the Design District: L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon, the city’s sole two-Michelin-starred establishment, and Le Jardinier, honored with one Michelin star.

Speaking about the collaboration, Vlad Doronin, Chairman and CEO of OKO Group, said, "With 830 Brickell, we set out to deliver an international calibre of architecture and lifestyle to the heart of Miami's financial district. Partnering with The Bastion Collection to develop Seia and Seia Club elevates that vision and introduces a new benchmark for culinary and exclusive social experiences in the city. Together, we are creating a destination that reflects Miami's global stature, bringing a new dimension of sophistication and world-class gastronomy to Brickell.’

“We’re proud to partner with premier developer OKO Group on Seia, which we know will become a crown jewel within the iconic 830 Brickell,” said Jamal Daniel, owner of The Bastion Collection. “This project is an extraordinary opportunity to bring our culinary and operational expertise to Miami’s most prestigious address, introducing concepts designed to evolve into institutions that serve Brickell’s corporate clientele by day. By night, Seia will become a destination for those seeking an elevated social experience.”

Prosper Group and Versluys Group Announce $650M Ultra-Luxury Tower on the Miami River

Prosper Group partners with Belgium’s Versluys Group to develop a $650M ultra-luxury waterfront tower on the Miami River in Brickell, marking Versluys’ U.S. debut and reinforcing global demand for Miami’s luxury real estate.

Prosper Group, a Miami-based real estate development firm, has partnered with Belgium’s Versluys Group, one of Europe’s leading luxury property developers, to deliver a $650 million waterfront residential tower on the Miami River in Brickell, the city’s financial district. The collaboration marks Versluys Group’s official entry into the U.S. market and adds another world-class project to Miami’s expanding skyline.

The development will rise 60 stories across three prime parcels — 99 SW 7th Street, 66 SW 6th Street, and 625 SW 1st Avenue — which Prosper Group acquired earlier this year. Plans call for 158 ultra-luxury residences with over 300 feet of direct river frontage, offering residents a blend of urban sophistication and waterfront living. Delivery is anticipated for 2028.

“We’re honored to partner with Versluys Group, led by CEO Bart Versluys and COO Peter De Decker, whose century-long legacy of craftsmanship aligns perfectly with Prosper’s forward-looking vision for Miami’s next great waterfront address,” said Jay Roberts, CEO of Prosper Group.

Founded in 1908, Versluys Group brings more than a century of development expertise to the joint venture. The firm is known across Belgium and the Netherlands for its luxury coastal projects that pair refined European design with meticulous attention to detail. Versluys also completed the full renovation of La Réserve, a five-star superior hotel in the exclusive seaside town of Knokke-Heist, recognized as one of Belgium’s most prestigious hospitality destinations.

“That Versluys Group was selected from a range of internationally renowned developers is no coincidence,” said Bart Versluys, CEO of Versluys Group. “Since 1908, uncompromising quality standards, unmatched attention to detail, and a deeply rooted customer focus have formed the foundation of our company—values that align seamlessly with Prosper Group’s vision.”

Peter De Decker, COO of Versluys Group, added: “Jay Roberts and his exceptional team mirror our passion for innovation and our commitment to excellence. Having explored the Miami market, I’ve witnessed firsthand the extraordinary energy and momentum of this city. Together, we’re uniting European finesse with American drive to create something truly remarkable.”

Situated along the Miami River, the development will combine walkability, waterfront access, and connectivity, placing residents within steps of Brickell City Centre’s retail and dining destinations and minutes from Biscayne Bay’s boating and yachting lifestyle. The site also offers easy access to I-95, Miami International Airport, and Brightline, providing seamless mobility throughout South Florida and beyond.

Nearly 1,000' (300m) Suptertall Cipriani Residences Miami Reaches Halfway Milestone In Brickell, Now Standing 44 Stories

Cipriani Residences Miami, the first-ever ground-up residential building by the world-renowned Cipriani brand in the Americas, has surpassed a major construction milestone underscoring not only its rapid vertical ascent but also its emergence as Miami’s definitive premier tower.

Cipriani Residences Miami, the first-ever ground-up residential building by the world-renowned Cipriani brand in the Americas, has surpassed a major construction milestone underscoring not only its rapid vertical ascent but also its emergence as Miami’s definitive premier tower. With construction, overseen by Moss & Associates, now surpassing its halfway point and standing at 44 stories, the 80-story tower has completed its 37th floor, which will be home to an exclusive resident-only Cipriani speakeasy.

Reaching this milestone illustrates the building’s strong focus on a curated, experiential lifestyle, and places the project on track to become the tallest building in Brickell. Upon completion in 2028, Cipriani Residences Miami will rise close to an astounding 1,000 feet, ushering in a new era of supertall residential towers in the neighborhood.

“This is a pivotal moment that represents far more than the halfway mark toward the building’s crown,” said Camilo Miguel, Jr., CEO and Founder of Mast Capital. “With the completion of the 37th floor, we are celebrating our work redefining luxury living through record-setting vertical scale and lifestyle-driven design. We are also proving that our ambition is matched by our commitment to a swift delivery, as construction moves perfectly on schedule.”

At the heart of Cipriani’s 50,000-square-foot amenity collection lies a hidden gem: the speakeasy — an intimate, cinematic retreat that sets the tone for a lifestyle steeped in sophistication. Envisioned as a discreet social club in the sky, this resident-only lounge will serve signature Cipriani cocktails and refined light bites in an atmosphere of sophistication and connection. Here, culinary artistry merges effortlessly with spaces dedicated to wellness, leisure, and entertainment. Beyond the speakeasy, residents gain privileged access to a private Cipriani restaurant, 24/7 in-home dining, a resort-style pool deck, luxury spa with treatment rooms and sauna, pickleball court, golf simulator, screening room, and more—all conceived to create a fully immersive residential lifestyle. Every detail has been meticulously conceived to envelop residents in a world where elegance, comfort, and Cipriani’s legendary heritage converge.

The tower is climbing one level every three working days, one of the fastest vertical construction paces in Miami’s history. Behind this momentum is a next-generation, self-climbing slip form system, an advanced hydraulic technology that allows the building’s core to ascend continuously without crane dependency. This method maximizes efficiency and precision, enabling the tower to achieve supertall status safely and at speed.

In a district where land is scarce and values are soaring, Mast Capital’s decision to build upward reflects both necessity and ambition, transforming verticality into a new symbol of the city’s economic and cultural rise.

“In a neighborhood defined by skyrocketing land values and finite development opportunities, we chose to look upward and embrace verticality as both a necessity and an opportunity,” continued Camilo Miguel, Jr. “The result is a soaring architectural landmark that is a symbol of Miami’s global ascent as a leading hub for wealth, culture, and innovation.”

As Cipriani Residences Miami races skyward, its dual narrative—engineering excellence and experiential luxury—positions it not just as a building, but as a new status symbol for Miami. By marrying record-setting vertical scale with Cipriani’s legendary service, Mast Capital is delivering a project that will forever mark Miami’s ascent on the global stage.

Cipriani Residences Miami features 397 one- to four-bedroom residences with interiors designed by 1508 London to be aesthetically genuine to the renowned hospitality brand’s distinguished style. The top 18 floors feature The Canaletto Collection, a limited assemblage of six penthouses and 74 ultra-luxury homes. The Canaletto Collection offers priority access to amenities like the private speakeasy, exclusive global concierge services by BHB, and for purchase custom furniture and accessory packages crafted by 1508 London in two distinct styles.

Sales and marketing efforts for the project are handled exclusively by Fortune Development Sales, with Residences starting from $1.7 million and The Canaletto Collection Residences starting from $4.1 million.

Designed by Brazilian architecture studio OSPA and sold exclusively by the Eklund | Gomes Team at Douglas Elliman, the five-story project features just 38 residences starting at $3.3 million, blending refined architecture, privacy, and a distinct sense of place.

META Development, the Miami-based firm known for its “Go Boutique” philosophy, has officially launched sales for Colette Residences, a new boutique luxury condominium in South Brickell. Partnering with the Eklund | Gomes Team at Douglas Elliman Development Marketing, META introduces an intimate residential concept that blends architectural sophistication with a serene, neighborhood-centric lifestyle.

Located in South Brickell—an area increasingly recognized as Miami’s next luxury residential frontier—Colette offers a refined alternative to the district’s high-rise energy. The five-story development features just 38 residences, including two signature penthouses, designed for those who value privacy, connection, and design integrity. Residences range from two to four bedrooms starting at 2,145 square feet, with pricing beginning at $3.3 million.

Designed by acclaimed Brazilian architecture studio OSPA, the building reflects a human-centered design ethos that seamlessly integrates indoor and outdoor living. This marks OSPA’s Miami debut and builds on META’s track record of architecturally distinct projects such as OPUS Coconut Grove.

“Colette represents the next evolution of our philosophy, curating residences that feel personal, tailored, and refined,” said Andrew Rasken, Founder and CEO of META Development. “In a district known for its high-rise energy, Colette is intentionally exclusive—crafted for those who value a calmer, more connected way of living without compromising on design or amenities.”

As part of its commitment to community impact, META Development will donate $10,000 for every residence sold to Friendship Circle of Miami, a nonprofit supporting children and young adults with special needs.

Despite its intimate scale, Colette offers a robust amenity program rivaling larger-scale towers. Indoor amenities span approximately 5,000 square feet, complemented by 7,000 square feet of outdoor spaces designed for relaxation and entertaining. Highlights include:

  • A 50-foot swimming pool with private cabanas

  • A 5,200-square-foot sun deck

  • A wellness spa with jacuzzi, sauna, and steam room

  • A screening room, children’s playroom, and meeting suite

  • 24/7 valet service and covered parking for two or three cars per residence, with EV charging stations

  • Private storage units for each homeowner

“Miami buyers are increasingly seeking boutique-scale projects that combine privacy with sophistication,” said Fredrik Eklund, co-founder of the Eklund | Gomes Team. “Colette delivers exactly that—an intimate collection of residences in one of the city’s most dynamic neighborhoods, blending global design with the lifestyle today’s buyers demand.”

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. Completion is slated for summer 2028. Ownership inquiries are now being accepted. For more information, fill out the form below.

Newgard Group and Two Roads Secure $513 Million in Construction Financing for One Brickell Riverfront in Miami

Newgard Group and Two Roads Development closed on $513 million in construction financing for their One Brickell Riverfront project in Miami’s financial district, making it one of the largest residential construction loans in the South Florida market this year.

Newgard Group and Two Roads Development closed on $513 million in construction financing for their One Brickell Riverfront project in Miami’s financial district, making it one of the largest residential construction loans in the South Florida market this year. The development includes LOFTY Brickell and The Standard Residences, Brickell condominium towers where construction is months ahead of schedule on the Miami River.

An undisclosed private lender provided $370 million in senior financing while 3650 Capital originated a $143 million mezzanine loan.

Located at 99 SW Seventh St. next to Brickell City Centre, the master-planned development features two high-rise condominium towers rising from a shared podium. LOFTY Brickell is a 44-story tower with 362 residences, while The Standard Residences, Brickell will stand 46 stories and include 422 residences.

Construction is more than halfway complete, with both towers expected to deliver months ahead of their targeted August 2027 completion. G.T. McDonald is the project’s general contractor.

“This financing reinforces the market’s confidence in the strength of our vision for One Brickell Riverfront,” said Harvey Hernandez, CEO of Newgard Group. “Together with Two Roads, we are creating a destination that combines world-class design, unmatched amenities, and the flexibility today’s buyers demand.”

Hernandez continued: “3650 Capital has been instrumental to the success of this extraordinary project, having supported us since the initial acquisition of the property. We are thrilled to continue to grow our relationship with the firm, who has helped finance several of our new condominium developments in the past.”

“Brickell is one of the most dynamic urban neighborhoods in the country, and this project reflects our shared commitment to delivering best-in-class residential experiences,” said Taylor Collins, Managing Partner of Two Roads Development. “Securing this loan is another important milestone as we move quickly toward topping off early next year.”

Newgard and Two Roads formed a strategic partnership in November 2024 to transform one of Brickell’s last undeveloped riverfront sites into a vibrant, integrated community.

“One Brickell Riverfront is poised to bring highly desirable luxury condominiums with two distinct concepts to Miami’s financial district,” said Jonathan Roth, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of 3650 Capital. “The successful closing of this transaction speaks to 3650’s local market expertise, special servicing function and ability to help our borrowers from site assemblage through construction and sellout—core tenets of our capabilities that enable us to generate strong investor returns. The sponsors have robust track records of developing high-end residential projects, and we’re pleased to have helped them navigate the complexities of the project, which we believe is situated in one of the most attractive locations in all of Florida.”

Designed by Arquitectonica, LOFTY Brickell features studios and one- and two-bedroom residences and penthouses furnished by INC. Its 40,000 square feet of amenities include a private marina, resort-style pool deck, fitness center, spa, cigar lounge and co-working spaces. The highly acclaimed New York City-based restaurant AVRA Estiatorio will open a location on LOFTY’s ground floor, providing owners and guests with an elevated Coastal Greek dining experience with waterfront views.

A limited number of penthouse residences remain available for sale with prices ranging from $2.4 to $3.5 million. The building has proven to be very attractive to individuals seeking a 5-star lifestyle in Miami’s urban core. Another strong attraction is LOFTY’s flexible ownership model allowing owners the ability to rent out their units on their own terms.

The Standard Residences, Brickell, designed by Arquitectonica with interiors by GOOD.RICH, offers 422 homes including studios, one-bedrooms and two-bedrooms. Prices start in the mid $600s.

Multi-level amenities include a rooftop pool with beverage and towel service, The Standard Club Lounge and Café, co-working spaces, and a 10th-floor spa with Hammam, saunas and a cold plunge. Additional offerings include a fitness center, bowling alley and lounge, pet spa and screening room, along with signature dining on the ninth floor and a riverfront restaurant at street level. Sales are being led by ONE Sotheby’s International Realty.

Headquartered in London, Howden is the world’s largest employee-owned insurance intermediary, managing more than $42 billion in premiums across 56 countries with a workforce of over 25,000 employees. The firm’s new Miami office will serve as a key foothold in its North American expansion, with occupancy expected in early 2026.

Designed by world-class architecture firm Studio MC + G Architecture with interiors by Urban Robot Associates, residences in Domus Brickell Center come fully finished and furnished, featuring hard flooring throughout, private balconies, kitchens with premium appliances, modern fixtures, stone countertops, in-unit washers and dryers, and a UV-filtered CLEAR Water Filtration System.

Domus Brickell Center also houses a suite of meticulously tailored amenities. These include a rooftop pool and sky deck with cabanas and daybeds, a rooftop bar, a hot tub, and a rooftop yoga deck, as well as an indoor-outdoor gym with state-of-the-art equipment, a lush garden lounge, indoor-outdoor treatment rooms and a steam room, co-working spaces and a conference room, a 24-hour lobby ambassador, on-call housekeeping, and pet-friendly features. Additionally, the development’s lobby features a signature lounge and an on-site restaurant.

“Domus Brickell Center is far more than just a collection of residences, it is a complete lifestyle experience,” said Juan Carlos Tassara, Founding Partner at North Development. “From the moment they enter the lobby, residents are immersed in a hotel-esque setting designed not only for luxury but for convenience and ease. Its functionality is part of its appeal, and we look forward to its success and the expansion of the Domus brand.”

Domus Brickell Center is being sold exclusively by Cervera. Since launching, the project has secured contracts on over 30% of residences, showing a strong demand from discerning buyers. Domus Brickell Center is located at 1034 SW 2nd Ave and offers studio- to two-bedroom residences ranging from 400 to over 1,000 square feet, priced from the low $500,000s to approximately $1.5 million.
