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.

OKO Group Commences Vertical Construction at Aman Residences, Miami Beach
Following extensive below-grade piling, excavation work and construction from OKO Group and Access Industries’, Aman Residences, Miami Beach, will commence vertical construction. With the development’s foundation system now complete, general contractor Suffolk is now progressing skyward with approximately one floor set to be completed every two weeks.
Following extensive below-grade piling, excavation work and construction from OKO Group and Access Industries’, Aman Residences, Miami Beach, will commence vertical construction. With the development’s foundation system now complete, general contractor Suffolk is now progressing skyward with approximately one floor set to be completed every two weeks through top-off in early 2026. Delivery of the fully committed 18-story residential tower, designed by renowned architect Kengo Kuma, remains on track for 2027.
Located at 3425 Collins Avenue, Aman Miami Beach will blend ultra-luxury amenities and residential offerings within Miami Beach’s Faena District. The tower will feature 22 Aman-branded residences alongside the preserved historic Versailles Hotel, which will host 56 hotel rooms, designed by the acclaimed Jean-Michel Gathy of Denniston, a long-time interior and architecture collaborator with Aman.
“With the foundation of Aman Residences, Miami Beach nearing completion, we’re entering a pivotal stage in the project as the structure begins to rise visibly above grade,” said Alan Chun, Chief Operating Officer of OKO Group. “This momentum builds on Aman’s record-setting residential sell-out, with the development poised to elevate Miami Beach as a world-class destination for design, wellness, and luxury living.”
The start of vertical construction follows intensive groundwork, including the creation of a two-level underground parking structure – an engineering feat made possible through advanced Deep Soil Mixing and Triple Soil Mixing techniques. These methods stabilized the beachfront site’s soil and mitigated groundwater intrusion, enabling the installation of the building’s foundation system.
“Suffolk is honored to help bring this exceptional project to life,” said Tom Thrasher, General Manager of Suffolk’s Florida East Coast. “The prestige of the Aman brand and the design pedigree of Kengo Kuma make this one of the most exciting builds in the history of Miami Beach. We are thrilled to leverage our cutting-edge technologies, data, and AI solutions to deliver an exceptional experience and project that will exceed expectations and help redefine how iconic projects are built.”
Designed by celebrated Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, Aman Residences, Miami Beach, embraces a minimalist aesthetic that combines angular lines and soft, undulating forms. It draws on Japanese materials and motifs while respecting Miami Beach’s Art Deco heritage. Kuma’s design introduces fluid transitions between interior and exterior spaces, creating a structure that is both visually striking and harmonious with the surrounding landscape.

Master Construction Permit Issued For 70-Story Okan Tower in Downtown Miami
Okan Tower, Downtown Miami’s transformative new branded hospitality and residential development anchored by the 316-key Hilton Miami Bayfront Hotel, has reached a pivotal milestone with the issuance of its master construction permit.
Okan Tower, Downtown Miami’s transformative new branded hospitality and residential development anchored by the 316-key Hilton Miami Bayfront Hotel, has reached a pivotal milestone with the issuance of its master construction permit. The permit allows the development team to move forward with all interior and mechanical systems—including plumbing, HVAC, electrical, elevators, and life safety—marking the final step before full vertical completion and interior buildout.
Soaring to 70 stories, once completed, Okan Tower is on track to become one of the tallest buildings on Miami’s skyline at 902’. Construction of the project, led by Okan Construction LLC, has already reached the 30th floor of vertical construction, with the 50th floor expected by the end of the year. The team is currently working on the hotel mezzanine level located on the 30th floor. Just weeks away from the halfway mark, the tower is rising at a pace of approximately one floor per week. The building is projected to top off in 2026 and welcome residents and guests in 2027.
The master permit, issued by the City of Miami, is one of the most important approvals in any major construction project, consolidating all key trades into one comprehensive authorization, enabling work to advance across every level of the tower simultaneously. For developer Okan Group, this milestone signals accelerated momentum toward delivering one of Miami’s most ambitious and dynamic new buildings.
“With this permit in hand, we now have the green light to complete every element of the building,” said Bekir Okan, Chairman of Okan Group. “It’s a defining step that moves us from structure to experience—bringing to life the Hilton hotel, luxury residences, office space, and amenities that will make Okan Tower a destination in itself.”
The Hilton Miami Bayfront Hotel, which spans floors 14 through 30, is now structurally completed and is being built to a five-star standard. With Miami posting record hotel occupancy in 2024 and visitor demand continuing to surge, the Hilton Miami Bayfront is a much-needed addition to the city’s hospitality offerings—especially in the fast-growing Downtown Miami area.
Beyond hospitality, Okan Tower will include 236 condo-hotel units managed by Hilton Hotels & Resorts®, 163 luxury Sky Residences, nearly 68,000 square feet of Class A office space, and more than 80,000 square feet of amenities. All amenity spaces—excluding the highly anticipated rooftop pool—have already been completed to date.
Strategically located at 555 North Miami Avenue, Okan Tower places residents and visitors at the nexus of culture, entertainment, and commerce. The tulip-inspired tower, designed by Behar Font & Partners, pays homage to the developer’s Turkish heritage and represents a bold architectural statement in one of America’s most dynamic cities.
Exclusively marketed and sold by Fortune Development Sales, Okan Tower’s sales gallery is located at 542 North Miami Avenue.

Summer 2025 Construction Update For Miami's 325' Tall Signature Bridge As The Arches Take Form On 'The Fountain'
Miami’s Signature Bridge, known as The Fountain, is entering a new phase of construction as the project’s iconic arches begin to rise above I-395, offering a first glimpse of the monumental structure set to redefine the city’s skyline.
Miami’s Signature Bridge, known as The Fountain, is entering a new phase of construction as the project’s iconic arches begin to rise above I-395, offering a first glimpse of the monumental structure set to redefine the city’s skyline. The six-arch bridge, designed as both a transportation link and architectural statement, is progressing steadily according to the Florida Department of Transportation. Once complete, it will improve traffic flow between I-95, I-395, and SR 836 while creating an iconic new visual gateway into downtown with six sweeping arches. Set to span 1,025’ over NE 2nd ave. and Biscayne Boulevard, the largest of the six-arches will reach 325’ tall and 650’ wide. Several key segments of the arches are now being installed, with full vertical completion anticipated in 2027.
The Signature Bridge is the centerpiece of a larger infrastructure initiative that includes reimagining the space beneath it. Known as The Underdeck, this 55-acre public park will stretch from Overtown to downtown, reconnecting neighborhoods long divided by highway infrastructure. Planned amenities include green space, pedestrian paths, public art, and event areas. The broader design-build effort is being led by the Archer Western–de Moya Joint Venture in collaboration with FDOT and the City of Miami. More than just a road project, the Signature Bridge aims to blend mobility, urban design, and community revitalization into a single, transformative vision for Miami.
The Signature Bridge project has had its fair share of drama. In July 2018 the bridge was awarded a Notice to Proceed following an April 2018 hearing where the State of Florida Division of Administration Hearing ruled in favor of FDOT after bridge advocate and former Miami City Commissioner Marc Sarnoff filed a lawsuit alleging that FDOT violated their 2013 settlement agreement via their handling of bids to design and build the bridge by manipulating scoring to allow the Archer Western and The de Moya Group's proposal to win. In May 2018 a Judge ruled in favor of FDOT to allow them proceed with the winning design.

Leading real estate developer Related Group and partner Alta Developers held a “topping off” ceremony for Casa Bella Residences by B&B Italia on July 9th, 2025, bringing the 56-story tower one step closer to completion with over 90% of units already in contract. Rising at 1400 Biscayne Boulevard, Casa Bella places residents at the center of Downtown Miami’s vibrant Arts and Cultural District, just steps from the city’s top cultural and civic landmarks. Completion is slated for summer 2026.
As the first residential partnership for B&B Italia – the famed Italian design house known around the world for its high-end collaborations with legacy brands such as Rolex, Hermès and Rolls-Royce – Casa Bella is envisioned as a refined oasis. With architecture by award-winning firm Arquitectonica and interiors by the renowned designer and former B&B Italia creative director Piero Lissoni, every aspect of the building seamlessly blends a distinctive contemporary Italian aesthetic with Miami’s sleek, cosmopolitan sensibility.
“Reaching the topping off milestone at Casa Bella is especially meaningful because it brings us one step closer to delivering a project that merges exemplary European style and craftsmanship with the energy and soul of Downtown Miami,” said Nick Pérez, President of Related’s Condominium Division. “Casa Bella reflects a rare collaboration between global design icons and Miami-based visionaries, and we’re proud to see that vision come to life with such strong support from buyers.”
The building’s 319 residences range from one to four bedrooms and offer soaring ceilings, sweeping views, private elevator access, state-of-the-art kitchens with Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, and an exquisite selection of European fixtures hand-picked by the B&B Italia team.
Casa Bella’s Penthouse Collection comprises 10 exquisite homes with seven distinct floor plans, including a pair of triplex residences with private rooftop terraces, each featuring spa pools and indoor/outdoor summer kitchens with panoramic views of the Biscayne Bay. These penthouses come fully furnished by B&B Italia, delivering a turnkey luxury living experience defined by world-class craftsmanship and timeless Italian design.
Bringing new meaning to sophisticated Italian living, a comprehensive array of amenities leave little to be desired. A world-class wellness center caters to fitness-minded residents, featuring professional-level equipment, as well as dedicated yoga and spin rooms, while the spa facilities offer on-demand services including massages, facials, blowouts and manicure/pedicures. Additional highlights include a spacious venue for hosting events, a wine vault and private tasting lounge, as well as a plush private theater and co-working spaces.
Outdoors, landscape architect Enzo Enea envisioned a pool deck with lush Italian-inspired gardens to create an oasis within Downtown Miami. The 80-foot lap pool is surrounded by private cabanas and shaded lounge areas, as well as an open-air lawn for yoga and meditation. A poolside bar and Mediterranean café will have light bites and refreshments on offer. On the 56th floor, residents can access the tower’s rooftop pool and terrace, which is complete with a state-of-the-art observatory.
Located within minutes of Miami’s most desired attractions, Casa Bella offers seamless access to esteemed cultural institutions including the Museum of Art and Design, Pérez Art Museum, The Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science, Miami Heat’s Kaseya Arena, and the city’s see-and-be-seen districts: Wynwood, Miami Design District, Miami Beach, Brickell and Coconut Grove.
Fortune International Realty is the building’s exclusive sales and marketing agent with a sales team led by Susie Prada.

Constellation Group, Boschetti Group and Vietmar Begin Vertical Construction On 'Ella Miami Beach' At 65% Sold
Vertical construction has commenced at Ella Miami Beach, a 10-story boutique condominium in the heart of Miami Beach’s North Beach neighborhood which is now 65% pre-sold. Sheet piling work has been completed, and piling work is in progress, with the project set to begin going vertical.
Vertical construction has commenced at Ella Miami Beach, a 10-story boutique condominium in the heart of Miami Beach’s North Beach neighborhood which is now 65% pre-sold. Sheet piling work has been completed, and piling work is in progress, with the project set to begin going vertical. Named after first lady of jazz Ella Fitzgerald, Ella consists of 103 curated residences at 6940 Abbott Avenue, just blocks from the Atlantic Ocean and Biscayne Bay, with architecture and interior design features that pay homage to Miami’s Art Deco past. A collaboration between Miami-based Constellation Group, Vietmar and The Boschetti Group, Ella Miami Beach broke ground in February and is slated for completion in early 2027.
Ella’s studios, one- and two-bedroom floor plans range from 429 square feet to 1,756 square feet of indoor and outdoor space, with prices starting at $600,000 – an attractive and competitive price point for new construction in Miami Beach, where prices typically begin at $1 million.
Through its partnership with Nomada Residences, a full-service property management firm that specializes in premium short--term or seasonal rentals, Ella Miami Beach also helps owners maximize profitability and preserve the value of their property.
“Buyers are clearly gravitating toward new condominium product,” said Eduardo Otaola, Managing Principal of Constellation Group. “In this corridor, there’s a real lack of boutique, well-amenitized buildings like Ella—especially those that allow short-term rentals. That combination has made the project especially attractive to today’s buyers.”
“Because of Ella Miami Beach’s flexible rental options and extraordinary location, we’ve seen tremendous interest from both end users and investors,” said Daniel de la Vega, President of One Sotheby’s International Realty. “North Beach is one of the last frontiers of Miami Beach with untapped potential. It’s benefiting from the same upward trajectory we saw in neighborhoods like South of Fifth a decade ago.”
Further solidifying North Beach’s evolution, the City of Miami Beach in March embraced a plan to redevelop the iconic Deauville Beach Resort at 6701 Collins Avenue with a 100-unit branded condo, 150-room hotel and quasi-replica of the original MiMo-style hotel designed by architect Melvin Grossman.
“The Deauville redevelopment underscores North Beach’s rising prominence and marks a clear shift in Miami Beach’s center of gravity,” said Eduardo Otaola, Managing Principal of Constellation Group. “Ella Miami Beach is helping lead this transformation by delivering a high-quality, design-forward building that serves the mid-market buyer—offering full-service amenities and the flexibility of short-term rentals in a boutique setting.”
Designed by Arquitectonica with interiors by Steven G., Ella Miami Beach’s residences feature 9-foot-high ceilings throughout, contemporary ItalKraft kitchens with stone countertops and JennAir appliances, and European-inspired designer closets. Select homes offer impressive views of Biscayne Bay, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Miami skyline. Amenities at Ella Miami Beach include a rooftop pool and fitness center with views of Biscayne Bay and Downtown Miami, a pickleball court with Atlantic Ocean views, residents’ lounge, summer kitchen with an outdoor dining area, and an observation deck and lounge. Wellness amenities include an outdoor yoga and meditation deck, a cold plunge and a sauna. Other lifestyle conveniences include private beach club access managed by The Boucher Brothers, a coworking area for remote workers, complimentary beach cruisers, bike and beach toy storage, onsite parking and retail, and more.
The Ella Miami Beach sales gallery is located at 6897 Collins Avenue in Miami Beach.
