PMG, Lion Development Group and LNDMRK Development Break Ground on One West Twelve Residences in Downtown Miami

National developer PMG, Lion Development Group, and LNDMRK Development have broken ground on One West Twelve Residences (ONE W12), a luxurious residential building in the heart of Historic Overtown, which officially commenced on October 1. The property features 372 bespoke residences boasting captivating views of both Miami’s iconic skyline and vibrant sunset vistas. Residents will have access to a dynamic lifestyle with centralized proximity to one of Downtown Miami’s fastest-growing neighborhoods. ONE W12 will additionally evoke iconic Miami glamour through a curated selection of engaging amenities and entertainment-oriented experiences for residents and the surrounding community. PMG Residential is leading sales for the project, which is currently 97% sold, and John Moriarity & Associates is the general contractor. Completion of ONE W12 is slated for 2028.

“This neighborhood has experienced tremendous growth and transformation over the past decade, and as a local business owner, it’s been a privilege to witness and to contribute to that with meaningful projects like ONE W12,” said Michael Simkins, CEO of Lion Development Group. “I couldn’t be prouder of the work that we are doing alongside our partners, PMG and LNDMRK. We are excited to celebrate this milestone and look forward to the many more ahead as we bring our vision to life.”

Notably, ONE W12 will be home to Vibe BBQ, an inviting quick-serve restaurant from acclaimed chef and eight-time James Beard Foundation award winner Marcus Samuelsson. Samuelsson’s restaurant Red Rooster Overtown further solidified the neighborhood as a top dining destination in South Florida while the concept has become a favorite among Miamians. The Vibe BBQ concept at ONE W12 will feature elements of ‘Miami flair’ in the form of an expanded lounge area and cocktail offerings. True to its core, Vibe BBQ will embody an all-day celebration of American comfort classics.

Designed by CUBE 3, ONE W12 will offer amenities focused on promoting a vivid, experiential lifestyle for residents and the local community. These amenities include an elegant lobby inspired by the glamour and playful spirit of the storied locale, an atmospheric rooftop garden and pool with lounge areas, a state-of-the-art fitness center, curated art installations throughout the property, the latest smart-building technology, and house cruiser bikes with storage.

“One West Twelve Residences underscores our continued commitment to creating engaging, community-focused developments that elevate and redefine the residential experience for years to come,” said Ryan Shear, Managing Partner at PMG. “This project is a fresh and design-forward concept that we are confident will complement Downtown Miami’s lively atmosphere with the historic charm of the area. We look forward to this next chapter of the development and its contribution to the evolution of modern Miami living.”

ONE W12 offers fully furnished and finished studio and one-bedroom residences, along with a limited collection of one-, two-, and three-bedroom townhomes. Short-term rental flexibility will allow residents the option to customize and optimize their living experience to fit their lifestyle.

“ONE W12 has been incredibly well received by the community, which is a testament to how it answers the demand for quality, highly activated luxury developments to meet the ongoing evolution of the neighborhood,” said Alex Karakhanian, Principal of LNDMRK Development. “We’re excited to officially break ground and be one step closer to delivering on that promise.”

Stand-out residence features include fully-integrated kitchens with custom countertops, backsplashes, and a contemporary under-mount sink, fully built-out closets bedrooms, custom shades, a Miele appliance package, imported and custom kitchen and bathroom cabinetry by Italkraft, custom bathroom countertops and finished floors and walls in wet areas, modern bathroom fixtures, features, and accessories, a contemporary lighting package, and a built in top-of-the-line washer and dryer.

The property's centralized location gives its residents the best of both worlds, culture and entertainment through its proximity to the area known as the historic Overtown, Park West, and Miami's Arts and Entertainment District. Connectivity between South Florida’s largest metros is also made easy thanks to the property’s location nearby the MiamiCentral Station, a home base for South Florida’s rail systems including Brightline.

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 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. 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.

Four Seasons Private Residences Coconut Grove will offer 70 homes ranging from two- to four-bedrooms spanning up to 3,980 square feet. Four penthouse residences will range from nearly 6,430 to 9,690 square feet. The distinctive property will rise 20 stories, providing residents with unobstructed ocean views overlooking Biscayne Bay.

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. 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.

Related Group and Alta Developers Top Off Casa Bella Residences by B&B Italia In Downtown Miami

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.

BD Hotels Breaks Ground on The Nora Hotel in West Palm Beach’s Nora District

The highly anticipated Nora District in West Palm Beach marked a significant milestone with the groundbreaking of The Nora Hotel, a new 201-key boutique hotel developed by BD Hotels, in collaboration with Sean MacPherson, NDT Development, Place Projects, and Wheelock Street Capital. This project represents BD Hotels’ first new construction hotel outside of New York City and is set to bring a unique blend of luxury and high-design to the area.

Richard Born of BD Hotels shared, “The Nora Hotel represents our vision of transforming West Palm Beach’s hospitality landscape with a bespoke experience that caters to today’s sophisticated travelers. We are thrilled to collaborate with the district's developers to make this a reality.”

BD Hotels, known for iconic New York properties such as The Greenwich and The Bowery, has teamed up with Wheelock Street Capital for the second time, following the successful relaunch of Hotel Chelsea in 2023. NDT Development and Place Projects are also key partners in this endeavor. “The Nora Hotel will serve as a cornerstone for the district,” said Ned Grace, Co-Founder of NDT Development. “It aligns seamlessly with our plan to position the district as a premier lifestyle destination, offering top-tier dining, retail, and wellness experiences.”

Joe Furst, Founder of Place Projects, expressed excitement about partnering with BD Hotels. “Their ability to tailor each hotel to its neighborhood while maintaining their signature style is unparalleled,” he noted.

The design of The Nora Hotel takes inspiration from Mediterranean and Spanish Colonial Revival styles, an homage to Addison Mizner’s architectural legacy in Palm Beach. New York-based Gachot Studios and architectural firm Stantec are behind the hotel’s interiors and structure, featuring arched walkways, rich hues, and intricate tilework. The property will also include a tranquil loggia and garden area for guests.

Highlighting the hotel’s dining scene, Stephen Starr’s STARR Restaurants will debut Pastis, a 13,300-square-foot Parisian-style brasserie with expansive indoor and outdoor seating. STARR Restaurants will also curate offerings for the hotel’s rooftop space, which will include a pool, two bars, private cabanas, and a restaurant. Additionally, in-room dining will be available, further enhancing the guest experience.

The Nora District itself is undergoing a transformation, with Phase I of the master plan underway since June 2023. Upon its early 2025 completion, the district will feature over 150,000 square feet of both adaptive reuse projects and new developments. Historic railway warehouses are being reimagined into vibrant retail spaces, celebrating art and local talent. Phase I will also introduce over 55,000 square feet of Class-A office space.

With its dynamic blend of dining, arts, and lifestyle offerings, Nora is poised to become a cultural and commercial hub in Downtown West Palm Beach. Confirmed retailers include Loco Taqueria & Oyster Bar, Van Leeuwen Ice Cream, Sana Skin Studio, and more, creating an inviting atmosphere for locals and visitors alike. The district’s master plan was developed in partnership with the City of West Palm Beach and urban planning firm PlusUrbia, aiming to revitalize the area with thoughtful, community-oriented design.

North Development Completes Foundation Pour at Domus Brickell Park And Begins Vertical Construction

Following several months of foundation work, one of Miami’s most anticipated short-term-rental-friendly condominium towers is going vertical. North Development’s Domus Brickell Park, a 12-story, 171-unit offering, set to redefine the traditional condo-hotel sector, is already 60% sold and has achieved a string of construction mileposts since its spring groundbreaking, putting the project on track for a Q1 2026 delivery.

General contractor Thornton Construction has been overseeing progress at the project’s site, which is well-sited in the Brickell Financial District along the bustling Southwest Second Ave. thoroughfare (1611 SW 2nd Avenue).

In addition to the property’s construction crane now being fully operational, the buildout of columns and shear walls is underway. The first pour of the mezzanine level – the tower’s first elevated slab – is underway, along with additional infrastructure work.

The market has been abuzz over Domus Brickell Park – the first offering to go vertical within the Domus FLATS portfolio by North Development, a joint-venture between Miami developer Ricardo Dunin’s Oak Capital and Edifica, a Peruvian conglomerate focused on development, construction, and fund management with a 20-year track record of success.

“Domus Brickell Park is one of the most exciting opportunities for buyers in Miami’s most in-demand urban setting, and we are thrilled to be celebrating this latest milestone, bringing it closer to fruition,” said Dunin, who is the founding partner of North Development.

Dunin, who helped pioneer condo-hotels in South Florida with projects like The Mutiny Hotel and the Sonesta Bayfront Hotel, both in Coconut Grove, is reinvigorating what he notes as a “tired” concept with the Domus FLATS portfolio, starting with Domus Brickell Park. As Dunin explains, over the years, the condo-hotel concept has degraded and the hospitality component has virtually disappeared, making it an “uncertain product.” Domus Brickell Park – as well as its sister project, Domus Brickell Center (1034 SW 2nd Ave., Miami, Fla.), which was unveiled in May – will be rooted in hospitality.

“What we are building is a completely new asset class and a welcomed addition to the Brickell neighborhood where many buyers have been priced out,” said Juan Carlos Tassara, cofounder of North Development. “Residents and guests will have the security, comfort, and value of consistent, luxury hotel-worthy quality.”

Domus Brickell Park will offer 24-hour oversight by North Management, a subsidiary of North Development, ensuring top-tier brand standards with a 360-degree, customer-focused approach. Residents will enjoy hotel-style amenities, including a vibrant, fully equipped activated lobby with food and beverage services, creating an inviting gathering space for guests and locals alike.

Fully-furnished studio, one- and two-bedroom condominium residences – currently ranging from the $600,000’s to $1.2 million – will feature nine-foot ceilings, private balconies, keyless entry smart lock systems, Italkraft cabinetry, Bosch appliances, premium finishes, and in-unit washers and dryers.

Domus Brickell Park (as well as Domus Brickell Center) is being exclusively brokered by Cervera Real Estate. The building will feature designs by Zyscovich Architects and interiors by Urban Robot Associates.
