Ken Griffin's Citadel Reveals Plans For 1201 Brickell Bay Drive Supertall

Billionaire hedge fund manager Ken Griffin is making waves in Miami's Brickell neighborhood with plans for a new supertall tower at 1201 Brickell Bay Drive. The project, with a proposed height of 1,032 feet and 54 stories, will be a mixed-use development.

Billionaire hedge fund manager Ken Griffin is making waves in Miami's Brickell neighborhood with plans for a new supertall tower at 1201 Brickell Bay Drive. The project, with a proposed height of 1,032 feet and 54 stories, will be a mixed-use development featuring 1.3 million square feet of office space, a 212-room rooftop hotel, fine dining restaurants, a health spa, fitness club, and more.

Designed by Foster + Partners, the 1.7 million square foot supertall tower will serve as the headquarters for Griffin's Citadel and Citadel Securities. Construction of the $1 billion-plus development is expected to begin in the third quarter of 2025, with plans for subsequent phases that include additional office space, residential units, and parking facilities across the street.

After announcing that both Citadel and Citadel securities will move to Miami from Chicago, Citadel was revealed as the buyer of 1201 Brickell Bay Drive after Tibor Hollo’s Florida East Coast Realty sold the 2.5 acre supertall development lot in a $363 million mega-deal in April 2022. Also in April 2022, Griffin acquired the adjacent 1250 Brickell Bay Drive and 1260 Brickell Bay Drive for $20 million, the lots total roughly 6,655 SF. The lots are adjacent to 1221 Brickell Avenue, which an entity tied to Citadel acquired in June 2022 for $286.5 million. The assemblage of properties spanning from 1221 Brickell Avenue to 1250-1260 Brickell Bay Drive is across the street from 1201 Brickell Bay Drive. The price equated to $145 million per acre, $3,340 PSF dirt value.

Ken Griffin’s net-worth is estimated to be about $31 billion and he has been one of the largest luxury property buyers in the world over the past several years. Also in Miami, Griffin has spent years and $170 million acquiring a Star Island assemblage. He made a splash when he acquired 8 Star Island Drive, a teardown built in 1993 on 1.8-acres, for $75 million. The sale set record for single-family home sales in Miami-Dade County at the time, a record Griffin is no stranger breaking. Griffin has also acquired the adjacent 10 Star Island for $25 million and 11 and 12 Star Island Drive in an off-market deal for roughly $37 million and 13 Star Island for $32.5 million. The acquisitions total $170 million. Griffin also set a record when he was revealed as the buyer in the mega-transaction for the four-acre waterfront Adrienne Arsht compound for a staggering $106,875,000.

Multiplan REAM Reveals Oceanfront Ultra-Luxury Boutique Condo 'Ocean House' in Surfside

Multiplan Real Estate Asset Management (REAM), the developer behind the luxurious 57 Ocean, has officially launched sales for Ocean House, an exclusive collection of 25 ultra-luxurious residences in the coveted Surfside enclave. The boutique development combines the best of both worlds, the seclusion and grandeur of a private high-end residence with the ease and convenience of modern condominium living.

Multiplan Real Estate Asset Management (REAM), the developer behind the luxurious 57 Ocean, has officially launched sales for Ocean House, an exclusive collection of 25 ultra-luxurious residences in the coveted Surfside enclave. The boutique development combines the best of both worlds, the seclusion and grandeur of a private high-end residence with the ease and convenience of modern condominium living. Residents will enjoy an exceptional oceanfront lifestyle in a truly exclusive setting. Multiplan REAM will conduct sales in-house by appointment only with prices starting at $5 million.

“Surfside’s unparalleled location and serene ambiance have solidified its status as the premier destination for discerning buyers in Miami’s ultra-high-end waterfront market,” said José Isaac Peres, Founding Partner of Multiplan REAM. “We are thrilled to introduce Ocean House, a project we believe will redefine luxury living in the city. We are confident this extraordinary project will thrive within this prosperous community.”

Located at 9317 Collins Avenue, the boutique condominium offers two- to five-bedroom designed to epitomize the Surfside lifestyle. Renowned architecture firm Arquitectonica and its faction ArquitectonicaGEO is spearheading Ocean House's architectural and landscape design. Their vision offers unsurpassed architecture, with Bernardo Fort-Brescia conducting it, and featuring expansive east, south, and west views. Designer Carla Guilhem, with her practice focusing on yachts and homes, cleverly cross-pollinates ideas between the two, bringing her signature style to the interiors of the residences, creating sophisticated spaces that complement the oceanfront setting.

Ocean House stands out with its distinctive emphasis on privacy and tranquility, offering a full suite of wellness-focused amenities spread across three meticulously designed floors. Each space is beautifully infused with beach-inspired hues, wooden accents, and natural stone flooring. From the rejuvenating spa with treatment room, salon, steam room, and expansive rooftop pool deck to a vitality pool and a state-of-the-art fitness center, every detail has been thoughtfully curated to enhance well-being. Additional components are integrated into the lush tropical landscape, reflecting ponds, floating cabanas, and intimate lounges.

"Unlike the impersonal high-rise developments prevalent in South Florida, Ocean House offers an intimate, exclusive experience” said Marcelo Kingston, Managing Partner at Multiplan REAM. “It is a harmonious blend of privacy, architectural brilliance, and unparalleled amenities, designed with the sophisticated buyer in mind. With breathtaking waterfront views, lavish interiors, and a limited collection of residences, Ocean House is a truly exceptional offering within Surfside's coveted coastline and Miami’s burgeoning luxury real estate market.”

Ranging in size from 2,093 SF to 6,279 SF, each residence will feature expansive floor-to-ceiling windows, a grand living room with natural stone flooring, and an open-concept kitchen that centerpieces a custom-designed Silestone island with a waterfall edge and private terraces offering breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean. Elegant finishes and fixtures include custom European cabinetry, Gaggenau kitchen appliances, and bathrooms with spa-like touches – a vanity with double sinks, a glass-enclosed rainfall shower, and a freestanding tub that evokes serenity.

"Surfside has become the most sought-after market to live in South Florida, the scarcity of either available land or new projects in this area makes Ocean House a true gem in the strong Miami condo luxury market. Our project stands out in this community as a true luxury, boutique development offering buyers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a villa in the sky on the ocean," said Phil Gutman.

Multiplan REAM has commenced the demolition of the two-story structure of the old Regent Palace Condominium to clear the site in anticipation of the groundbreaking, slated for the first quarter of 2025, and Ocean House is anticipated to be delivered in 2027.

"Our go-to-market strategy will be highly selective and focused. By self-financing projects, Multiplan gains the flexibility to initiate construction immediately while patiently pursuing high-caliber buyers who share our vision for Ocean House as Miami's most exclusive beachfront condo community," concluded Kingston.

Hyperion Group Launches Downtown West Palm Beach Rental Tower 'Lumaire'

Hyperion Group has launched leasing at Lumaire, Downtown West Palm Beach’s newest luxury rental tower offering panoramic sunrise to sunset views of the cityscape, Atlantic Ocean, Intracoastal Waterway and Clear Lake.

Hyperion Group has launched leasing at Lumaire, Downtown West Palm Beach’s newest luxury rental tower offering panoramic sunrise to sunset views of the cityscape, Atlantic Ocean, Intracoastal Waterway and Clear Lake. Lumaire will set the standard in the city as an exclusive haven for those seeking a well-rounded, metropolitan lifestyle that is fully serviced with best-in-class health, wellness and entertainment. The residences range from studios to three bedrooms, with monthly rents starting at $1,800.

“As Downtown West Palm Beach evolves into ‘Wall Street South’, Lumaire is a distinctive residential offering for the sophisticated renter,” said Rob Vecsler, Principal and CEO of Hyperion Group. “Residents will experience Lumaire’s elevated level of service, unmatched amenity package, high-quality finishes and the tower’s panoramic views, while living in the convenient Clear Lake part of Downtown. The neighborhood offers access to the best restaurants and entertainment venues in West Palm Beach and is walkable to the offices of many top national finance companies now headquartered or expanding in the city.”

Situated at 201 Clearwater Drive, Lumaire rises 23 stories and features 457 light-filled residences with interiors meticulously designed by CetraRuddy, one of New York City’s most celebrated architecture and interior design firms. Lumaire is CetraRuddy’s first development in the Palm Beaches and upholds the firm’s prestigious reputation for creating chic, modern sensibilities with floor-to-ceiling windows, wide plank flooring, elegant quartz countertops, deep soaking tubs, and European-inspired kitchens. Lumaire’s open plan living areas also include nine- to twelve-foot soaring ceilings as well as solar shades and elegant white quartz countertops in the kitchen and bathrooms. CetraRuddy also envisioned the building’s common spaces, which include more than 40,000 square feet of world-class amenities for a lifestyle of uninterrupted yet inspired quiet luxury. DesignBAR, an Interior Design firm based in Coconut Grove, worked collaboratively with the team on the amenity spaces.

“We’re thrilled to be a part of the team behind Lumaire,” said Ximena Rodriguez, a Principal at CetraRuddy and the firm’s Director of Interior Design. “Residents in the Palm Beaches are highly discerning and looking for distinctly differentiated environments that reflect contemporary lifestyles. We’ve taken the best elements of the unique setting—opportunities for indoor-outdoor living and incredible city and water views—and layered in a serene, modern sensibility with sophisticated materials, generous unit layouts, and compelling amenities to create what will become one of West Palm Beach’s most sought-after residential destinations.”

Under the vision of Carl Levin Architecture + Design (CLA+D), led by architect Alfonso Jurado, the tower will be one of the tallest new buildings in Downtown West Palm Beach and visible from almost every angle downtown. CLA+D designed the building with apartments starting above the seventh-floor amenity level so that residents can enjoy impressive sunset vistas over Clear Lake, as well as beautiful sunrises over the horizon of the Atlantic Ocean. The lowers levels of the tower are screened with gray patterning for a dynamic, textured appearance that transitions in color from day to night. The balcony design invokes depth and visual interest.

"It's been a pleasure to collaborate with Hyperion Group to design such a transformative development for the Clear Lake neighborhood," said Carl Levin, Owner of Carl Levin, Architecture+Design. "Given the project's unique, ideal location, we strategically maximized the views and indoor-outdoor spaces at the tower so that residents can get the most out of South Florida's favorable year-round weather and the beautiful water vistas surrounding them. The apartments at Lumaire are some of the most luxurious that Downtown West Palm Beach has to offer."

Living at Lumaire will be equally as unique as its design. Residents will arrive home via a grand porte cochere that leads to a sophisticated lobby overlooking lush landscaping from the adjoining park. From there, they can lounge and socialize in many indoor-outdoor amenity spaces. Up on the seventh floor, an outdoor poolside lounge overlooks a resort-style, 90-foot pool complete with cabana beds, privacy curtains and chaise loungers. A Bocce lawn, barbeque grills and an outdoor yoga and fitness area are also available for resident use. Inside, a fully-fledged, sunlight-flooded fitness center features a mix of top-of-the-line cardio, strength and functional training equipment, as well as a yoga and movement studio. With a library and coworking lounge with WiFi also onsite, Lumaire’s plush amenities also feature a pickleball court, pet parent lounge and pet grooming salon, virtual simulator for golf and other sports, gaming and private screening, and an entertainment lounge with a billiards table and catering kitchenette for hosting friends and family.

The amenity collection is complemented by first-class hospitality and an array of concierge services. Residents can explore regular programming, including a monthly calendar of activations and experiences. Bike owners can take advantage of bicycle storage and a repair station, while residents with electric vehicles can utilize Lumaire’s many charging stations.

Lumaire’s location on Clear Lake, part of Downtown West Palm Beach, places residents at the center of it all, from chic restaurants, resorts, shopping, recreation and pristine beaches across CityPlace and Palm Beach Island, to iconic and sought-after attractions including Norton Museum and Kravis Performing Arts Center. Residents enjoy the best of South Florida with ease of connectivity via I95, PBI Airport, the Brightline high-speed train, which travels throughout South Florida up to Orlando, and the Tri-Rail, an express access point to hotspots like Miami.

The name Cassia stems from the eponymous trees blooming across Coral Gables in Spring and Fall that are likened to gorgeous pink bouquets perched atop long, slender trunks. The name is an ode to the vision of Coral Gables’ founders, who imagined a Garden City with lush green avenues winding through a residential city, punctuated by civic landmarks with playful architecture. Today, that vision endures as Coral Gables has been designated Tree City USA for the past 34+ years.

Residents of Cassia will experience an array of world-class amenities designed to elevate everyday living. From a welcoming front desk reception to a slate of hotel amenities, Cassia ensures convenience and comfort for its residents and guests. Among its amenities are an outdoor garden adorned with Cassia trees, a serene pool area with an outdoor barbecue, and a state-of-the-art wellness center with a fully equipped spa complete with a treatment room, steam room, dry sauna and an indoor pool.

Just mere steps away from the Shops at Merrick Park, Cassia residents can indulge in a premier shopping and dining experience with over 100 retailers and restaurants, including luxury brands such as Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Gucci, and Tiffany & Co. Additionally, Merrick Park features esteemed fitness and wellness establishments such as Equinox Fitness, SoulCycle, and Elemis spa.

"From its location just steps away from the Shops at Merrick Park to its impeccably crafted RH furnishings, this project stands as a true gem in the market. We are thrilled to once again partner with Alta Developers as the exclusive sales and marketing firm for this project, which we believe will be something truly special," said Alicia Cervera Lamadrid, Managing Partner and Principal of Cervera Real Estate.
