Related Group and Alta Developers have officially launched sales at Casa Bella by B&B Italia. The project was launched roughly a month ago through predominantly a whisper campaign and has already achieved 20% sold with reservations of $80 million. The developers have also released a selection of new renderings.

Inspired by the beauty of Italian living, the Casa Bella team is made up of a renowned group of design luminaries, including B&B Italia, one of the world’s premier design companies, internationally recognized for their innovative, iconic and timeless pieces of furniture. Interiors from lauded Italian design firm Lissoni New York and architecture firm Arquitectonica and Enzo Enea round out the vision. Sales are exclusively handled by Fortune International Realty.

"We’ve controlled this parcel for many years now, and with skyrocketing condo demand and dwindling supply, we are finally ready to move on what will be a neighborhood-defining project,” said Jon Paul Pérez, President of Related. “We are in the middle of one of the most robust markets in Related’s history, a trend we expect will pick up further with the launch of Casa Bella.”

Distilling the best of life on the Italian peninsula, the 55-story Casa Bella will instantly transport residents away from the bustling city center, offering a modern, and refined aesthetic rooted in classic design. Piero Lissoni – who also serves as creative director for B&B Italia in addition to being the project’s interior designer – went to great lengths to imbue the property with the Mediterranean region’s unique brand of luxury.

“With Casa Bella, I want to realize a very contemporary project, and what is more contemporary than B&B Italia, the company whose very essence is contemporary?" said Lissoni.

Building on the "worlds away” feel, Casa Bella will offer two full floors of amenity spaces, complete with dedicated entertainment spaces overlooking Biscayne Bay. These amenities range from a spacious party room to a wine vault and tasting lounge, as well as a top-of-the-line private theatre and co-working spaces. A world-class Wellness Center caters to fitness-minded residents, offering professional-level equipment as well as dedicated yoga and spin rooms. For those looking to relax and unwind, the spa facilities offer on-demand massages, facials, blowouts and manicures/pedicures.

Outdoors, Enzo Enea outfits the pool deck with lush Italian-inspired gardens to create an oasis within Downtown Miami. The 78-foot lap pool is surrounded by private cabanas, 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 55th floor, residents and guests can access the tower’s rooftop pool and terrace, complete with a state-of-the-art observatory.

Five-star service completes the residential experience including a personal concierge available to assist residents on- or offsite. This includes housekeeping, grocery shopping and delivery, dry cleaning and laundry, nanny and childcare, overnight shoe-shining, pet care services and personal tech support. Additional benefits include preferred tickets to performances and local events and a complimentary one-year membership of the Grand Bay Beach Club in Key Biscayne.

Located at 1400 Biscayne, the 55-story Casa Bella will enjoy a prime location in Miami’s ‘Arts & Entertainment District,’ coming into its own as the heart of the “new Miami.” The property offers buyers stunning views of Biscayne Bay as well as easy access to nearby hotspots such as the Pérez Art Museum Miami, Frost Museum of Science, the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts, FTX Arena. The tower is also just minutes away from Miami Beach and Brickell.

“We are eager to see this exceptional project finally come to life at the right time,” said Raimundo Onetto, Principal & CEO of Alta Developers. “From the masterminds behind the project, to its unparalleled features and amenities, to its location in one of Miami’s fastest evolving neighborhoods, Casa Bella will truly be one of a kind.”

Buyers can choose from a range of floorplans, with the 312 homes ranging from one to four bedrooms. In addition to soaring ceilings and panoramic water views, all residences feature an exquisite selection of European-fixtures and finishes as well as private elevator access. Buyers looking for additional living space can choose from a selection of 24 marquee penthouses ranging from 2,605 to 5,890 square feet.

Canadian asset and wealth management firm CI Financial Corp has doubled the size of its planned office space at 830 Brickell, a Class A-plus office tower under construction in the heart of Miami’s Brickell Financial District. Just months after signing a 20,000 square-foot lease that will house the firm’s U.S. headquarters, CI Financial has expanded with an additional floor. The new office will total approximately 40,000 square feet. The firm’s expansion further solidifies 830 Brickell as the address of choice for financial, professional services, and global firms looking to establish or grow their presence in South Florida. The 55-story tower, which is being developed by a joint venture between OKO Group and Cain International, is slated for completion later this year.

CI Financial will join other notable tenants at 830 Brickell including private equity firm Thoma Bravo, which recently announced plans for a 36,500 square foot office in the tower, and global tech company Microsoft, which signed a 50,000 square foot lease for its Latin American regional headquarters.

“830 Brickell already enjoys a reputation as Miami’s most desirable and best located trophy office tower, and CI Financial’s commitment to expand its space at the building reinforces the confidence we’ve seen from high-end office users and global businesses seeking a location in South Florida,” said Vlad Doronin, Chairman and CEO of OKO Group. “Our team has drawn from our collective experience in the luxury hospitality industry to bring five-star-hotel-inspired features, amenities and services to 830 Brickell that have lured top-tier companies looking for a best-in-class, urban setting in Brickell’s prestigious financial district.”

"With its unparalleled workplace experience, prime location and trophy stature, 830 Brickell continues to reaffirm its position as the preeminent office building in the South Florida market. Its success reinforces our global investment thesis of combining hospitality, amenities, services and experience to create the best destinations in the world," said Jonathan Goldstein, Co-Founder and CEO of Cain International. "We remain extremely confident in Miami’s future and the role that premium office assets will play in its expansion into a global gateway city."

830 Brickell’s ownership was represented by the Cushman & Wakefield team of Brian Gale, Ryan Holtzman and Andrew Trench. CI Financial was represented by Donna Abood and Mark Robbins of Avison Young.

“Boasting the newest standards in building design and finishes in South Florida, 830 Brickell continues to attract the highest quality tenants,” said Brian Gale, Vice Chairman at Cushman & Wakefield, who oversees leasing for the project. “830 Brickell’s ownership team’s financial strength and commitment to the asset have been key factors for these types of savvy tenants. 830 Brickell has signed over 150,000 square feet of leases in the last six months, and we look forward to announcing additional tenants soon, as we continue to lease up the building.”

830 Brickell was designed by renowned architecture firm Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill, with interiors by Italian architecture and design company Iosa Ghini Associati. The building’s design incorporates top-of-the-line wellness features and technologies, including ultraviolet technology in air filtration, ventilation, and water purification systems, as well as touch-free fixtures and contactless entry/exit points.

Brightline Breaks Ground On Boca Raton Station As Eco-Friendly Railway Continues To Connect South Florida

Brightline, the only provider of modern, eco-friendly, intercity rail in America, has broken ground on its Boca Raton station with Kauffman Lynn as the construction manager. Once completed, the station will be Brightline’s fifth operational in the state, connecting travelers in Boca Raton to Miami, Aventura, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, and soon Orlando.

Brightline, the only provider of modern, eco-friendly, intercity rail in America, has broken ground on its new Boca Raton station with Kaufman Lynn Construction, Inc. as the construction manager for the garage and train station. Once completed, the station will be Brightline’s fifth operational in the state, connecting travelers in Boca Raton to Miami, Aventura, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, and soon Orlando. Located on a 1.8-acre site across from Mizner Park and adjacent to the downtown library, Brightline’s Boca station, designed by Zyscovich Architects, will feature approximately 38,000 square feet of space which will include its signature autonomous MRKT and premium lounge among other station amenities. The station will offer a seamless travel experience through modern technology, including a cashless environment, touchless turnstiles and high-speed WiFi. Brightline's Boca station is expected to be complete in the fall of 2022.

Brightline’s president, Patrick Goddard, was joined at the groundbreaking ceremony today by Congressman Ted Deutch, Boca Raton Mayor Scott Singer, Jorge Pesquera of Discover the Palm Beaches, in addition to members of the Boca city council and elected officials. The groundbreaking of Brightline’s Boca station follows the commencement of construction for the station's parking garage, announced in December of 2021.

“As a premier business and leisure destination, Boca Raton is a perfect fit for Brightline and will be an integral part of our network that will further connect the state of Florida,” said Patrick Goddard, president of Brightline. “Brightline stations help enhance the local communities and economies where we operate and provide travelers with quick access to state-wide lifestyle and tourist destinations. We look forward to building a long and productive partnership with the Boca community.”

In 2021, Brightline was awarded a $16.3 million Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvement (CRISI) Grant from the FRA to fund a portion of the construction of the Brightline Train Station, parking garage and associated rail infrastructure. In addition to the CRISI grant, the City has provided a commitment of $9.9 million towards funding the parking garage. The balance of the project, approximately $30 million, will be funded by Brightline. Construction of the Boca Raton station is expected to create more than 480 jobs during construction while contributing more than $23 million in wages.

The station is expected to strengthen ties between Boca Raton and South and Central Florida. By connecting to the broader Brightline system, local employers will have access to a bigger employee pool and workers will gain access to an additional 89,000 office jobs within average commute times. This investment will continue to make Boca Raton one of the most desirable and vibrant places to live, work and visit. In addition to benefitting commuters and other local residents, Brightline will serve a broad leisure travel population, and will spur increased tourism to Boca Raton.

“Brightline will be a game-changer for Boca Raton, and especially our downtown,” said Mayor Scott Singer. “We look forward to welcoming the many riders who will work at our thriving businesses and visit our cultural, dining, and shopping attractions, and for our residents to connect to a major transportation network from Miami to Orlando. Thanks to our strong partnership with Brightline and support of our Congressional delegation for an FRA grant, we can’t wait to say all aboard in Boca Raton!”

Also under construction is the 455-space parking garage that will service Brightline’s Boca station and visitors to the downtown library, who will have dedicated, covered, and complimentary spaces on the first floor. In October 2021, Brightline completed construction of the new Community Garden for the Junior League of Boca Raton, as well as a temporary parking lot for the downtown library. Brightline managed and funded the construction of both projects as part of the agreement to build the new station.

“Kaufman Lynn Construction is excited to be building this new station and garage with Brightline, the City of Boca Raton and the Federal Railroad Administration,” said Michael Kaufman, CEO of Kaufman Lynn Construction. “The entire team is excited to help connect South Florida and Central Florida with this Brightline rail stop.”

Brightline currently serves Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and West Palm Beach, with its expansion station in Aventura opening in 2022. Brightline’s current construction project to Orlando is more than 70 percent complete with over 1,300 daily workers on the job tallying more than four million hours of work. In January of 2022, Brightline began daily crew training and qualifying test runs between West Palm Beach and Cocoa. Over an eight-year period, Brightline’s corridor between Miami and Orlando will result in $6.4 billion in economic impact while creating more than 10,000 jobs. Construction of the highly anticipated expansion to Orlando is on track to be complete by the end of 2022, ​​with service to begin in early 2023.

OpenStore, The Platform Where Entrepreneurs Can Sell Their Shopify Businesses, Leases Office Space In The Gateway at Wynwood

As tech companies continue to rapidly expand and enter the Miami market, OpenStore has moved into its new office space in Wynwood. Founded by Keith Rabois of Founders Fund, Jack Abraham of Atomic, and Michael Rubenstein of AppNexus, OpenStore is a platform that allows entrepreneurs with Shopify businesses to sell their companies.

As tech companies continue to rapidly expand and enter the Miami market, OpenStore has moved into its new office space in the Kobi Karp-designed The Gateway at Wynwood. Founded by Keith Rabois of Founders Fund, Jack Abraham of Atomic, and Michael Rubenstein, the former President of AppNexus, OpenStore is a platform that allows entrepreneurs with Shopify businesses to sell their companies and receive liquidity for what they’ve built. The tech company now occupies 14,914 square feet at The Gateway at Wynwood, located at the intersection of the iconic Wynwood and Midtown Miami neighborhoods. It is the first tenant to move into the recently completed building.

R&B Realty Group, the developer behind The Gateway at Wynwood, was represented by Colliers’ Executive Managing Director Stephen Rutchik, Managing Director Tom Farmer and Director Tyler de la Pena. OpenStore was represented by JLL’s Adam Bernstein and Jeffrey Gordon.

“We are very excited to welcome OpenStore to The Gateway at Wynwood,” said Shelby Rosenberg, R&B Realty’s Head of Development and Acquisitions, Asset and Property Manager, US Portfolio. “OpenStore is a fantastic fit for our spec suite program, offering the tech company flexibility as it continues to scale up and grow. We are continuing to see strong leasing activity and continued interest from a variety of sectors. We expect to have more exciting news to announce soon.”

OpenStore connects merchants and customers into a single unified shopping experience through access to data, information, and capital. The company announced in July that it raised $30 million in Series A funding, with a valuation of $250 million. OpenStore’s goal is to offer instant liquidity for eCommerce entrepreneurs.

OpenStore’s founders, Keith Rabois and Jack Abraham, helped fuel the rise of Miami’s tech scene when they were among the first high-profile executives to announce their move to Miami. The Miami tech movement, which was sparked by City of Miami Mayor Francis Suarez’s now infamous tweet - “How can I help?” - has transformed the city’s office market. Companies and executives in search of a better quality of life, lower taxes and great weather have descended upon Miami, now dubbed the “Silicon Valley of the South.”

R&B Realty devoted the entire 10th floor of The Gateway at Wynwood to fully built-out and ready for move-in office space, dubbed ‘spec suites.’ Designed by Gensler, the spec suites take the stress out of the office leasing and build-out process, providing companies flexibility in their space, and the ability to move in almost immediately upon completion of the building. OpenStore’s lease occupies the remainder of the spec suites available on the 10th floor. Due to its success, the spec suites program has been expanded to the 9th floor. The move-in ready suites, starting at 2,000 square feet, can be combined to form bigger units as well.

The Gateway at Wynwood offers about 195,000 square feet of leasable Class A office space and nearly 25,900 square feet of prime street-level retail space. Designed by renowned architect Kobi Karp, the environmentally responsible building features flexible floorplans, a private rooftop terrace, gym, unique bay window system, 24/7 on-site security, vibrant exterior cladding, and 2:1,000 on-site covered parking. This summer, R&B Realty Group announced the building's first office lease with biotech company Veru Inc. The eight-year, 12,155-square-foot lease will serve as the company's global headquarters and triple Veru's current office space

The second phase will consist of 342 rental units on a 2.7-acre development site.

A partnership between Mast Capital and global real estate investment firm AEW Capital Management has launched the second phase of Waterline Miami River, which will bring the full development to a combined 688 apartment units. The second phase will consist of 342 rental units on a 2.7-acre development site with over 400 feet of unobstructed water frontage along the Miami River. The joint venture has secured financing from Wells Fargo for the project’s construction set to begin in January 2022.

One of the early developers to recognize the Miami River’s potential as an active waterfront community, Mast Capital acquired its first piece of land along the riverfront in 2018, developing the initial phase of Waterline Miami River with AEW, and since then, the Miami River District has continued to thrive with restaurants, outdoor entertainment and residential living. Mast Capital delivered the first phase of Waterline Miami River, a 346-unit luxury multifamily community, in late 2020 and reached stabilization just eight months after its completion. 

The second phase will be comprised of studios, one-, two-, and three-bedroom units spanning approximately 280,000 rentable square feet and masterfully crafted community amenities. The project’s general contractor is Kaufman Lynn and the architect is Corwil Architects.

Residences will feature European kitchens, modular European closets, washer and dryer, private large balconies, premium quartz countertops, and stainless-steel appliances. Residents at Waterline Miami River will enjoy breathtaking views of the Miami River and the Downtown and Brickell skyline.

The population growth and strong demographics Miami is experiencing will continue to fuel growth along the riverfront,” said Camilo Miguel, Jr., CEO and Founder of Mast Capital. “Since pre-leasing commenced at Waterline Miami River, we saw high demand for the apartment community given the lifestyle offerings in the surrounding neighborhood and strategic location near Miami’s thriving urban core. We are confident that phase two will experience similar demand given the need for additional rental housing and the increased desirability of the Miami River District.”

Waterline Miami River is located just half a mile south of the Miami Health District, which employs 45,000 and draws 160,000 annual visitors and is recognized as the second largest health district in the U.S., and within 1.5 miles of Downtown Miami and the Brickell Financial District.

Additionally, a Bentley Brand Room will occupy a dedicated area within the gallery, where one of the finest examples of British craftsmanship will be displayed at the center, offering guests an extended experience and information on the brand.
