The Aston Martin Residences Miami is creating a permanent art gallery on the 52nd floor of the 66-story luxury tower, which is due for completion at the end of next year. Construction is currently on the 53rd floor and the development is 70% sold to-date.

Ahead of the tower’s completion, the Aston Martin Residences' Art Gallery is launching virtually and will showcase a renowned artist online every two months. To launch the virtual gallery, a 3D immersive experience, the Aston Martin Residences has partnered with British artist and acclaimed photographer, Julian Lennon, to present an exclusive exhibition of hand-picked images from his personal collections. The virtual Art Gallery and inaugural exhibit, titled “Vision,” can be seen from today through July 7th by visiting www.astonmartinresidences.com.

“Art and design are woven into the soul of the Aston Martin Residences. Every decision we make is born from an intrinsic love of beauty and meticulous attention to detail. We imagine residents will fill their homes with beautiful artworks, and we’re creating the Art Gallery to offer a secluded and exclusive space for our owners to immerse themselves in an ever-changing canvas of contemporary art. We’ll present works from established artists and emerging talents that make our hearts beat faster, and we hope the Art Gallery will inspire residents in their daily lives,” said Germán Coto, CEO of G&G Business Developments

“We’re 70% sold, and we know that our residents appreciate art. It’s this love of art together with a desire for the highest quality finishes, light-filled spaces, and of course, the stunning waterside location that has attracted clients to the Aston Martin Residences Miami,” Coto continued.

ARTE by Antonio Citterio Is The First New Development In Miami To Accept Cryptocurrency

ARTE, a new oceanfront luxury condominium developed by Alex Sapir and Giovanni Fasciano, have announced the record-breaking sale of its triplex penthouse for $33 million. The all-cash transaction is Miami Beach’s third most expensive penthouse sale in the last seven years, and represents the highest price per square foot ever recorded in the city’s exclusive Surfside neighborhood.

ARTE by Antonio Citterio, the exclusive boutique condominium which recently opened in Miami’s Surfside neighborhood, has announced that it will be first new residential development in Miami to accept cryptocurrency as a form of payment. Signifying the developers’ optimism for the city's future as the cryptocurrency capital of the world, all remaining residences can be purchased with digital currency.

To streamline the sale of residences in crypto, ARTE has formed partnership with blockchain and securities trading platform SolidBlock, which provides custom solutions for buying and selling digital assets. SolidBlock will ensure that buyers paying in cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum enjoy an easy and straight-forward purchasing experience. They will also be available to assist with any other crypto exchanges or real-world transactions that buyers wish to make in the future as well as legal and tax advice.

As the first Miami condominium to welcome cryptocurrency, ARTE joins Mayor Francis Suarez in the vision to transform the city into a leading technology hub. By embracing digital assets like Bitcoin as the future of business, the building has taken the lead in upending traditional real estate practices in Miami and has set an example for other developments in the market.

"The embrace of cryptocurrency and emerging technologies across all sectors of industry is precisely how Miami will become the city of the century,” said Mayor Francis Suarez. “ARTE is setting an important precedent and I won't be surprised to hear similar stories in the near future."

The announcement also comes at a unique time in Miami, when many of the top Silicon Valley companies and venture capital firms have opened satellite offices or have expanded into the city. According to the developers, this migration has played a role in the decision to launch a cryptocurrency offering at Arte.

“Miami is becoming a true city of tomorrow,” said Alex Sapir, Chairman of Sapir Corp LTD, whose Israel-and New York-based subsidiary, SC 8955 LLC, developed the project. “As the most exclusive luxury building in the city, we’re positioning ourselves for a future where half the world’s billionaires are crypto billionaires, which will happen once Bitcoin reaches $200,000. With cryptocurrencies already creating incredible worldwide wealth, it’s real estate that will sustain that wealth and provide buyers with a legacy. Cryptocurrency is an important and valuable asset, and we believe it’s only natural to set the pace in the real estate industry for these types of transactions at Arte, not just keep up with it.”

“Cryptocurrency is not only a viable and sustainable new asset, it’s also the future of wealth,” said Giovanni Fasciano, co-developer. “As more technology executives move to Miami and bring cryptocurrency along with them, it is crucial that buildings start to devise plans to make blockchain transactions easier and more secure for investors. Arte is the only Miami condominium positioning itself to attract this community at the moment, and we’re proud to take the lead in partnership with SolidBlock.”

ARTE’s collaboration with SolidBlock is the first of its kind. The company pioneered the field of tokenization, spearheading the world’s first successful commercial real estate security token offering (STO), raising $18M for the Aspen St. Regis Resort in 2018. Customizing solutions for private entities to purchase residential real estate in tokens is a new frontier for the platform, and one that could set an exciting precedent for future large-scale luxury developments.

“We are thrilled to have the opportunity to partner with the developers of one of Miami’s most sought-after buildings,” said Yael Tamar, co-founder and co-CEO of SolidBlock. “Discerning and tech-savvy buyers both local and international will appreciate having access to a platform that streamlines the process and helps them invest in this amazing opportunity.”

Nestled in Surfside, the seaside enclave between Bal Harbour and Miami Beach, ARTE is a boutique, oceanfront development at the center of the city’s most vibrant cultural, culinary and shopping destinations. Featuring a stunning design by Italian master architect Antonio Citterio, the building offers impeccable interiors and finishes, as well as ten-star amenities and service. The development was built to cater to an exclusive selection of buyers who have not found quality design, exclusive privacy or outstanding service anywhere else in Miami.

ARTE residents enjoy a robust suite of amenities not found in other Miami luxury condominiums.

Additional facilities include a children’s playroom with space for remote learning, residents’ lounge, catering kitchen for out-of-home entertaining, and private temperature-controlled parking spaces.

Prices at ARTE by Antonio Citterio start at $10.3 million, or the equivalent cryptocurrency rate, and the spacious three- to five-bedroom plus residences range in size from approximately 3,150 to 7,550 square feet. Sales are exclusively handled by Douglas Elliman Development Marketing.

OKO Group and Cain International have secured $128.3 million in construction financing for Una Residences. The senior debt, which was provided by Bank OZK, will fund the ongoing development of the 47-story luxury condo tower, which broke ground in May 2020 and has over $75 million in sales over the past four months.

The Walker & Dunlop team led by Senior Managing Directors & Co-Heads of New York Capital Markets Keith Kurland, Aaron Appel, and Adam Schwartz along with Managing Director Michael Diaz and Director Sean Bastian represented the developers in the transaction. Weil Gotshal & Manges served as counsel for the sponsor/developer, while King & Spaulding served as counsel for Bank OZK.

Una Residences sits on one of the last developable parcels of waterfront land in Brickell in the South Brickell enclave at 174 SE 25th Road and will become the first waterfront residential tower to deliver in the neighborhood in over a decade upon its completion in 2023. The tower is being developed by a partnership between OKO Group, the luxury development group helmed by international real estate mogul Vladislav Doronin, and Cain International, a privately held investment firm with over $6.3 billion in real estate equity, debt, and leisure-focused investments.

“Miami’s increasing global appeal is drawing families to live and businesses to invest in high quality real estate, particularly rare and exclusive offerings such as Una Residences; one of the last opportunities to buy a waterfront property in one of Miami’s most desirable neighborhoods,” said Vladislav Doronin, Chairman and CEO of OKO Group. “We are seeing this trend of moving to Miami accelerate at an unprecedented rate, attracted by the many benefits including its sunny weather, quality of life, status as a global destination and its tax incentives. As construction progresses on site at Una Residences, we anticipate a beneficial and successful relationship with all parties involved in this project.”

Una Residences was designed by Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill (AS+GG) and the tower will offer 135 spacious two-to-five bedroom condominiums with unobstructed views of the Atlantic Ocean, Biscayne Bay, and city skyline. Residences are priced from $2 million to $7.4 million, with two ultra-exclusive penthouses priced up to $21.6 million.

"We firmly believe the Miami market is well-positioned for future growth as a global gateway city, with continued demand for new residential property coming from both foreign and domestic buyers. Closing this financing with Bank OZK is a significant milestone for Una Residences and for the broader Brickell residential market," said Jonathan Goldstein, CEO of Cain International. "With its unique position overlooking Biscayne Bay, close proximity to Key Biscayne, Brickell and Coconut Grove, and access to incredible lifestyle amenities, Una Residences is truly one-of-a-kind and we look forward to advancing towards completion with our partners."

Amenities include three swimming pools, a children’s splash-pad area and playroom, a movie theater, an Aman Resort-inspired spa and steam room, a state-of-the-art fitness center featuring yoga and personal training facilities, onsite dining, and more. Una’s amenities will also extend beyond the property, as residents will receive exclusive membership access to the Grand Bay Club on the beachfront of Miami’s Key Biscayne.

“The fundamentals of the Una Residences project met the high standards Bank OZK consistently seeks in our credits – marquee real estate, strong market fundamentals and top-tier sponsorship,” stated Greg Newman, Managing Director of Originations for Bank OZK’s Real Estate Specialties Group. “OKO Group and Cain International are developing a best-in-class option in the Miami market, with amenities and an unrivaled setting that delivers an exceptional quality of life to residents. We appreciate the opportunity to participate in this project as the sole senior secured lender and look forward to a very successful execution.”
