Swire Properties Sells Brickell City Centre Retail and Parking Components to Simon Property Group For $512 Million
In a significant real estate transaction for Miami’s urban core, Swire Properties Inc. has finalized the sale of its interest in the retail and parking components of Brickell City Centre to Simon Property Group for approximately $512 million.
In a significant real estate transaction for Miami’s urban core, Swire Properties Inc. has finalized the sale of its interest in the retail and parking components of Brickell City Centre to Simon Property Group for approximately $512 million. The deal marks the conclusion of a decade-long partnership between the two firms and further consolidates Simon’s presence in one of Miami’s most high-profile mixed-use developments.
Prior to this acquisition, Simon, one of the world’s largest real estate investment trusts focused on premier shopping, dining, and mixed-use destinations, held a 25% stake in the retail component of Brickell City Centre. Swire Properties, the original developer of the project, retained a 75% interest in the retail and full ownership of the parking facilities. With the completion of this transaction, Simon now assumes full ownership and management responsibilities for both the retail and parking at the development.
Completed in 2016, Brickell City Centre has become a defining element of Miami’s evolving skyline and urban experience. The project spans approximately five million square feet and includes a 500,000-square-foot open-air retail center, designed with its signature Climate Ribbon—an architectural canopy that provides shade, enhances airflow, and collects rainwater, contributing to the center’s sustainability features.
The retail center stretches across three city blocks and offers four levels of shopping, dining, and entertainment, anchored by Saks Fifth Avenue and home to more than 90 retail stores, including Apple, Chanel Fragrance & Beauty Boutique, Nike, Coach, Zara, and Richard Mille. Dining and entertainment options range from Casa Tua Cucina and Motek to CMX’s luxury cinema and PuttShack, reinforcing Brickell City Centre’s position as a premier lifestyle destination.
Swire Properties described the divestment as part of its ongoing capital recycling strategy, which focuses on reallocating resources into new growth opportunities. Proceeds from the sale will support the company’s HK$100 billion global investment plan announced in 2022, with HK$20 billion allocated specifically for residential development projects such as The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami. That project has already surpassed $1 billion in contract sales, with more than 50% of South Tower units sold.
Simon has indicated that it will retain as many members of Brickell City Centre’s existing operations team as possible to ensure a seamless transition. The acquisition consolidates Simon’s position within Miami’s growing retail and mixed-use market, adding another high-profile asset to its portfolio at a time when the Brickell district continues to attract global attention as a center for finance, technology, and luxury development.

Gilbane and Palm Beach Atlantic University Finalize $240 Million Mixed-Use Student Housing Development in Downtown West Palm Beach
A major new development is set to reshape downtown West Palm Beach as Gilbane, in partnership with Palm Beach Atlantic University (PBA), has reached financial close on a $240 million public-private partnership aimed at expanding student housing and enhancing the city’s urban core.
A major new development is set to reshape downtown West Palm Beach as Gilbane, in partnership with Palm Beach Atlantic University (PBA), has reached financial close on a $240 million public-private partnership aimed at expanding student housing and enhancing the city’s urban core. The project, approved by the Palm Beach County Board of Commissioners, will deliver a 25-story, mixed-use student housing tower at the intersection of Acacia Road and Dixie Highway, adding much-needed residential capacity for the university’s growing student population.
The 319,000-square-foot development will include 990 student beds across 275 apartment-style units, along with extensive amenities designed to enrich campus life and foster community engagement. Additional components include a 28,000-square-foot dining hall, a 14,000-square-foot fitness and recreation center, and an 8.5-level parking garage offering 704 spaces, as well as over 230 stalls for bicycles and e-bikes. The project is funded through revenue-backed bonds issued by Palm Beach County, ensuring no direct use of taxpayer funds.
“This project will provide more housing options for students and help ease pressure on the local housing market,” said Jeffrey Resetco, Senior Development Director at Gilbane Development. “We are committed to delivering state-of-the-art facilities that support student life and contribute to the broader vitality of downtown West Palm Beach.”
The initiative is a collaborative effort among multiple firms, with Gilbane Development serving as project developer, Gilbane Building as the design-builder, and Cube3 leading the architectural design. Urban Design Studio, Shutts & Bowen, and Kimley-Horn contributed expertise in planning, legal, and traffic engineering to secure entitlements and refine the project’s scope. The tower’s design draws from the architectural language and vibrancy of downtown West Palm Beach, aligning with city priorities for connectivity, sustainability, and walkability.
Gilbane, Inc., a private holding company with a more than 155-year history, is one of the oldest and largest family-owned construction, investment, and real estate development firms in the world. Gilbane Development is the project development, financing, and ownership arm of Gilbane, providing a full slate of real estate development and property management services. Gilbane Building is a full-service construction services firm providing preconstruction, general contracting, construction management, and design-build services on some of the nation’s most complex projects. Gilbane’s Public Private Partnership Group has delivered or has underway more than $4.4 billion in P3 projects for healthcare, higher education, K-12 schools, and federal/state/municipal clients.
Construction is slated to begin in summer 2025, with completion targeted for August 2027, in time for the 2027-2028 academic year.
PBA President Dr. Debra A. Schwinn emphasized the project’s significance for both the university and the surrounding community. “This transformative development reflects our commitment to whole-person education and our role in shaping downtown West Palm Beach, now recognized as Wall Street South,” Schwinn said.
The student-focused design incorporates a range of indoor and outdoor spaces to promote academic success, well-being, and social connection. Lounges for games, study, wellness, and relaxation will complement outdoor pathways and landscaped areas aimed at encouraging environmental mindfulness and community interaction. The pedestrian-friendly infrastructure includes ADA-compliant features, smart parking technology, and green elements to integrate the development within the city’s evolving urban environment.
Once complete, the project is expected to bolster student housing capacity, reduce off-campus housing demand, and support West Palm Beach’s ongoing growth as both an educational hub and a destination for investment and development.

A prime commercial property in Miami Beach’s Sunset Harbour neighborhood has traded for $28.5 million, signaling continued investment momentum in one of the city’s most desirable enclaves. The 19,672-square-foot Office Depot building, situated on a 25,000-square-foot lot, was acquired by a private investor in a deal brokered by Avenue Real Estate Partners and Jordan Karp, LLC. The property is located at 1771 West Avenue and serves as a gateway to Sunset Harbour.
The transaction reflects the escalating land value in Sunset Harbour, a mixed-use district known for its proximity to luxury residential developments, waterfront access, and growing commercial presence. Avenue’s Aaron Butler, who represented the buyer alongside Jordan Karp, emphasized that the sale is indicative of Sunset Harbour's evolving role within Miami Beach’s real estate landscape.
“Sunset Harbour continues to be one of Miami Beach’s most sought-after neighborhoods, and this transaction reflects the increasing land value following the success of developments like 18 Sunset,” Butler noted.
Jordan Karp added that Sunset Harbour remains uniquely positioned within Miami Beach's high-end market. “Surrounded by some of the world’s most expensive residential real estate, Sunset Harbour serves as the area’s commercial hub — attracting investors focused on long-term growth opportunities,” Karp said.
The seller, George Jay Ltd. Partnership, was represented by Paul Snitkin of Anderson Carr.
Avenue Real Estate Partners, with offices in Miami Beach and Aspen, Colorado, has established a reputation for guiding high-profile transactions across South Florida’s commercial sector, with over $1 billion in deals completed. Jordan Karp, founder of his namesake brokerage Jordan Karp LLC, is known for orchestrating off-market deals across Miami’s luxury residential and commercial markets, including record-setting property sales on La Gorce Island, Allison Island, and in Brickell. Notable transactions include his $55 million off-market sale of the SLS Brickell Hotel to the Kastrati Group. To date in 2025, Karp has closed over $170 million in transactions.
The $28.5 million sale underscores both investor confidence in Sunset Harbour and the neighborhood’s trajectory as a high-value commercial and residential destination within Miami Beach.
