Constellation Group Acquires Development Site Along U.S. 1 in Miami’s Coconut Grove for $12 Million

Constellation Group, a leading Miami-based real estate investment and development firm, announces the acquisition of a nearly 28,000-square-foot development site fronting U.S. 1/South Dixie Highway in Miami’s Coconut Grove neighborhood. The strategic acquisition gives Constellation Group high-visibility site near Metrorail station and Underline in one of Miami’s hottest neighborhoods.

The lot, located at 3000 SW 28 Street in Miami, is currently occupied by Farrey’s Lighting & Bath, a 100-year-old family-run business. Constellation purchased the site for $12 million from owner John Farrey. The closing took place on Oct. 1, 2025. Constellation Group, which is evaluating the highest and best use for the property with a focus on long-term value creation, will disclose plans for the site at a future date.

“This site represents a unique, long-term investment opportunity in one of Miami’s oldest, most dynamic commercial corridors,” said Eduardo Otaola, Managing Principal at Constellation Group. “This acquisition underscores our bullish perspective on both Coconut Grove and the role of transit-oriented development in Miami’s future.”

The 27,973-square-foot lot is located on the southbound side of U.S. 1, just steps from the Grove Central mixed-use center and the Coconut Grove Metrorail station. Farrey’s Lighting & Bath will continue operating at the property for up to 120 days under the terms of the agreement, allowing the company to manage the next phase of its transition.

The Coral Gables-based developer and its joint venture partner The Boschetti Group are currently building two boutique condo projects in Miami – Ella Miami Beach in Miami’s North Beach neighborhood, and Cora Merrick Park in the high-barrier-to-entry Coral Gables neighborhood – as well as an ultra-luxury boutique office project called 4225 Ponce, across from Shops at Merrick Park, that will complete later this year.

We’re building something timeless.”

The project is seamlessly integrated into Shell Bay Club, an exclusive private members’ club already accessible to future residents. The club offers an unmatched lifestyle anchored by a championship 18-hole Greg Norman–designed golf course, a 12-acre practice facility, and a nine-hole Par 3 course.

Constellation Group and The Boschetti Group Officially Open Cora Merrick Park Sales Gallery in Coral Gables

The new sales gallery for Cora Merrick Park – the first wellness-oriented residences in Coral Gables – is now officially open at 4200 Laguna Street in Coral Gables. On Tuesday, Sept. 30, developers Constellation Group and The Boschetti Group celebrated the grand opening of the gallery with Douglas Elliman Development Marketing, inaugurating the space and giving the community a sneak peek of the luxurious details and wellness features that make this project unique. Guests enjoyed live music, sipped adaptogenic cocktails and wellness elixirs, and participated in immersive demonstrations of red-light therapy panels and lymphatic compression treatments, curated by Centner Wellness. Inside the gallery, guests explored Cora’s signature finishes – natural stone, wood, and tile imported from Europe and around the world.

Designed by Arquitectonica with interiors by Urban Robot, Cora Merrick Park is delivering 74 refined residences priced from the $900,000s to over $4 million to Merrick Park – Coral Gables’ world-class shopping and dining destination. The project is directly across the street from Shops at Merrick Park, and walking distance to downtown Coral Gables and the Metrorail, and just minutes from Coconut Grove, University of Miami and Downtown Miami/Brickell.

“Cora Merrick Park is the first residential community in Coral Gables designed to integrate wellness into everyday living,” said Eduardo Otaola, Managing Principal at Constellation Group. “At the same time, it meets pent-up demand for new luxury product in Coral Gables. Cora offers a compelling alternative to the single-family home market in an irreplaceable location that delivers walkability, community, and the quality-of-life benefits that Coral Gables is known for – all in a finished turnkey-project with world-class amenities.”

Spanish wellness firm Lamarca Well, best known for creating the first wellness hub in Madrid, Spain, is overseeing Cora’s wellness programming. Key components include biophilic design, advanced air and water purification systems, noise-reducing acoustic design, non-toxic building and cleaning materials, a fitness center with a dedicated recovery area, and a spa with infrared sauna, steam room, contrast hydrotherapy (hot and cold) pools, and red-light therapy panels. Additional offerings include a resort-style roof deck pool, yoga and meditation area, lobby tearoom, and the first rooftop padel court in Coral Gables.

“At CORA Merrick Park, we believe wellness isn’t just about offering a product or service – it’s about delivering a lifestyle and creating environments that support lasting change,” said Mischka Capriles, Lamarca Well co-founder.

Lamarca and Arquitectonica will also oversee Cora’s enrollment in the International Well Building Institute (IWBI) WELL for residential program – an evidence-based, third-party certification aimed at creating healthier, more resilient homes.

Located at 4241 Aurora Street, Cora Merrick Park offers 13 unique floor plans, from one-bedrooms to expansive three-bedroom plus den residences. Each home has 10-foot ceilings, Italkraft kitchens, Sub-Zero/Wolf appliances, designer stone countertops, custom porcelain flooring, walk-in closets, and private, expansive lanais in select residences.

Cora offers a design-forward reinterpretation of the Spanish Mediterranean aesthetic through a modern, wellness-focused lens. Classic natural materials are used in novel ways to bring natural sophistication to interior spaces. Coralina stone and marble are paired with a dark stained oak – a nod to Coral Gables’ oak canopy – to create a moody, sexy color palette. Textured lime-wash walls and soft, organic stone forms – from the fluted marble lobby column to the rounded edges of the kitchen islands and bathroom vanities – foster calm and evoke a connection to nature. In the residences, a unique chevron-patterned, porcelain-tile floor from Spain’s Living Ceramics puts a contemporary spin on the classic design motif. Floor-to-ceiling windows usher in natural light to create a modern aesthetic rarely seen in the city.

Hospitality-inspired details, including a striking sculptural reception desk in the lobby and custom property fragrance, bring an added touch of European elegance. Outside, an original sculpture by celebrated Catalan visual artist Jaume Plensa anchors a lush 5,000-square-foot park, underscoring Cora’s seamless blend of art, architecture, and wellness.

The PROFILEmiami Pre-Construction Development Summit 2025 was not just a gathering — it was a celebration of the ambition, innovation, and collaboration that continue to drive Miami forward as one of the world’s most dynamic real estate markets.

Panels:

The conversation dove into the strategies shaping Miami’s pre-construction market, from how sales teams are adapting to shifting buyer demographics, to what lifestyle amenities and finishes are resonating most strongly today. Panelists shared firsthand experiences on what worked in past cycles, what no longer applies in 2025, and where they are seeing the greatest success right now. The discussion highlighted the importance of innovation in sales galleries, digital outreach, and broker partnerships, while also exploring how agents can enter development sales teams and what it means to succeed within one. The takeaways offered invaluable insight into how Miami’s leading sales executives are keeping pace with a highly competitive and rapidly evolving market.

The panelists explored how today’s developers are structuring partnerships, balancing equity requirements, and tapping into diverse capital sources — from JV partnerships and mezzanine financing to EB-5 programs and international capital inflows. The conversation also highlighted the rising cost of insurance and how it is reshaping underwriting, project design, and long-term risk strategy. What emerged was a nuanced picture of a market that is both competitive and resilient, where creative deal structures and innovative financial engineering are unlocking opportunities for ambitious projects to move forward.

This forward-looking conversation explored how developers are redefining Miami’s skyline with a new generation of towers that blend design innovation, lifestyle programming, and global appeal. Panelists discussed the balance between ultra-luxury and attainable product, the role of branded residences, and how developers are elevating quality in response to today’s higher pricing baseline. They emphasized that Miami is now delivering projects that compete on a world stage — in design, amenity packages, and construction quality — rivaling global hubs like New York, London, and Dubai. The discussion closed with each panelist sharing their vision for Miami’s next decade, painting a picture of a city whose skyline will continue to grow more ambitious, diverse, and internationally relevant.
