Melo Group's Aria Reserve Luxury Condominium Exceeds 60% Sold In Less Than 6 Months As Groundbreaking Nears

As travel restrictions lift, foreign buyers have begun to return to Miami’s luxury real estate market, adding another layer to the already red-hot demand in South Florida. In the latest example of this international comeback, Melo Group, the developer behind Aria Reserve, a dual tower luxury condominium development situated on five acres of Biscayne Bay waterfront land in Miami’s Edgewater enclave, has pre-sold more than 60% of its 383-residence South Tower in less than six months since its summer 2021 sales launch. Approximately half of the tower’s buyers hail from domestic markets across the country, with an almost equal number of international buyers.

Aria Reserve’s 62-story towers will mark the tallest waterfront dual tower residential development in the United States. Construction of the project’s South Tower is expected to begin in early 2022, with completion slated for 2024.

“When we launched sales at Aria Reserve over the summer, the majority of our buyers were coming from the domestic market – New York, California, Boston,” said developer Carlos Melo, Co-Principal of the Melo Group. “While we’re still seeing an incredible amount of domestic demand, we’re now seeing some competition coming from overseas as international buyers return to the market. Buyers from Latin American countries like Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Chile and Peru are relocating to Miami following the implementation of Covid-19 vaccines, continued political instability, and a recent rise in international tourism.”

Residences at Aria Reserve will include impeccably finished units with one- to four-bedroom floorplans measuring between 1,100 and 2,600 square feet in size. A limited collection of penthouse residences, ranging from 3,500 to over 9,000 square feet, each come with its own one-of-a-kind personal three-car garage vault – of which five trilevel penthouse mansions will also feature private rooftop decks with pools and summer kitchens. Residences are priced from about $850,000 to over $2 million, and up to $12 million for penthouses.

Every residence will include two private or semi-private elevators, a dedicated office/den, at least 10-foot-high ceilings, and open flow-through layouts with up to 11-foot-deep expansive terraces boasting unparalleled sunset views to the west and bay and ocean views to the east.

“Buyers are attracted to our waterfront location and our abundance of amenities,” said Martin Melo, Co-Principal of the Melo Group. “With a two-acre resort-style deck, home to an indoor/outdoor wellness center, a variety of sports courts, and multiple pools for the entire family, along with spacious residences, and some of the best bay and ocean views in Miami, Aria Reserve is appealing to end-user buyers looking to take advantage of the city’s cosmopolitan lifestyle.”

Aria Reserve has been architecturally designed by Bernardo Fort-Brescia of Arquitectonica, with interiors by MORADA Haute Furniture Boutique, and lush landscaping by ArquitectonicaGEO.

The development will boast over two acres of amenities, with standout features including a semi-Olympic sized lap pool and whirlpool spa, a children’s splash pad, playground area, teen lounge and gaming center, a theater, tennis courts, basketball courts, paddle courts, a golf putting green, and an indoor/outdoor wellness center with spa/steam/sauna facilities, massage rooms, a state-of-the-art gym, yoga lounge and meditation garden.

The building will also feature a double-level 25-foot lobby, a signature waterfront restaurant and café, two additional pool and lounge areas with two Jacuzzis and poolside daybeds, a fire pit, a dog park, and a telescope observatory area looking out over the bay. Residents will also have access to a custom-designed watersports dock with available paddleboards, kayaks, and inflatables.

On the ground floor along 23rd Street, Melo Group is developing a public park with open green space that will connect to the Miami Baywalk, providing direct access to the 5-mile-long pedestrian and bicycle-friendly waterfront promenade which runs along Biscayne Bay from Edgewater, around Brickell Key, and all the way to Brickell Bay Drive in Brickell.

Situated along the bayfront just north of Downtown Miami, nestled between the Venetian and Julia Tuttle Causeways – the two main arteries connecting the City of Miami and Miami Beach – Edgewater has fast-emerged as the epicenter of the new Miami. The surrounding neighborhoods of Downtown’s Arts & Entertainment District, Miami Design District, Wynwood Arts District, Midtown Miami, and Miami Beach put residents within blocks of dozens of luxury retail shops, high-end restaurants and world-class arts and culture venues.

Aria Reserve benefits from the development expertise of the Melo Group, one of South Florida’s preeminent residential development firms with a portfolio of more than 6,000 total luxury condominium and high-end multifamily units completed throughout Greater Downtown Miami. The firm is one of Downtown Miami’s most prominent long-term investors and landowners, having found success by investing early in prime real estate and building for market demand. Over the last two decades, Melo has delivered more than a dozen residential towers across Miami’s Central Business District, Edgewater, Miami River, and Arts & Entertainment District neighborhoods.

Having put the project on pause in the wake of COVID-19 restrictions and quarantines on international travel, the world-class development team has turbo-charged their plans and reimagined Okan Tower with the introduction of new floor plans, ten new lofts and an exciting all-weather, glass-enclosed rooftop deck and observatory at the pinnacle of the tower.

Okan Tower is located in the epicenter of Miami’s urban core at 555 North Miami Avenue. The mixed-use tower will be a monument of the future as Downtown Miami has been reinvigorated by the allure of an ultimate live-work-play destination. The influx of corporate relocations to downtown, Florida’s favorable tax benefits, addition of the flourishing Miami Worldcenter, and the coexistence of new dining, hip shops, and entertainment venues such as the Frost Museum, PAMM, Adrienne Arsht Center and FTX Arena has created an urban utopia desired internationally.

More than 60% of Onda’s 41 luxury residences have already been pre-sold, with the majority of its buyers hailing from the U.S. Impeccably finished residences include two- to four-bedroom plus den layouts measuring between 1,809 and 3,535 square feet in size, with four penthouse residences measuring up to 5,073 square feet – two of which include private rooftop pool decks. Prices range from $1.8 million to over $9.5 million.

“We set out to create an ultra-luxurious intimate building with a handful of units and residents in one of the nicest waterfront communities in South Florida,” said Ugo Colombo, Founder of CMC Group. “Onda’s boutique exclusivity, commanding bay views, and top-quality finishes and materials will brand it as a standout property for a long time to come.”

“Onda will deliver a one-of-a-kind living experience that you won’t find anywhere else in Miami,” said Valerio Morabito, CEO of Morabito Properties. “Our unique location in Bay Harbor Islands offers residents the best of both worlds – the convenience of being connected to the energy of Miami Beach with access to an abundance of restaurants, shopping and entertainment options just minutes away, with the privacy that comes with living in a private family-oriented neighborhood away from the congestion.”

Located just west of the world-class shopping mecca Bal Harbour Shops, Bay Harbor Islands is one of the most coveted residential neighborhoods in Miami. The exclusive two-island waterfront enclave is situated roughly two miles north of Miami Beach and neighbors Indian Creek Island, a private island famously known as “Billionaire Bunker” for its roster of celebrity residents. Bay Harbor Islands is renowned for its charming small-town community vibe, proximity to Miami’s poshest retailers and restaurants, and stunning waterfront views. The walkable family-oriented village also offers an abundance of parks and green space, along with access to one of the best schools in Miami-Dade County.

Among Onda’s most popular features is its private marina with boat slips ranging from 35 to 60 linear feet. The marina’s 15 slips, which are already 70% sold, are available for purchase by residents only. The development will also include a water sports launch dock with available kayaks, paddle boards and inflatables, boasting direct ocean access through Miami’s Haulover inlet.

Building amenities will include a rooftop pool deck and lounge area; a state-of-the-art fitness center with Technogym equipment, a yoga studio, a spa with massage treatment rooms, changing facilities, and steam bath and sauna rooms. Onda will also feature personalized services, state of the art security and technology along with a front desk reception, covered valet drop-off area, personal parking spaces, electric vehicle charging stations and bicycle storage, and residential storage space. The building will offer an integrated digital concierge along with readily accessible WiFi throughout all public spaces, and FTTH (fiber to the home) technology for voice, video and high-speed internet.

All residences will feature an office/den, private and semi-private high-speed elevators, floor-to-ceiling, impact-resistant sliding glass doors and windows, spacious tiled terraces with private gardens, open floor layouts with up to 9-foot grand ceiling heights, fully-accessorized Snaidero kitchens with top-of-the-line Miele appliances, bathrooms with Italian marble and wood cabinetry, exquisite Italian flooring throughout, energy-efficient air conditioning and heating systems with ultra-quiet technology, and air and water filtration systems.

Onda – also known as the Italian word for “wave” – has been architecturally designed by Bernardo Fort-Brescia of Arquitectonica, with interiors imagined by creative design masterminds Carlo and Paolo Colombo of A++ Human Sustainable Architecture, and lush landscaping by award-winning landscape architect Enzo Enea of Enea Garden Design.

Onda benefits from the track-record and expertise of Ugo Colombo of CMC Group and Valerio Morabito of Morabito Properties – two world-class developers driven by their Italian instincts for quality, style, and craftsmanship. Colombo and Morabito previously partnered in 2016 to lead the development of Beach House 8, a nearby boutique waterfront condo building on Collins Avenue in Miami Beach. Most recently, Colombo and CMC Group delivered Brickell Flatiron, a 64-story luxury tower in Downtown Miami’s Brickell Financial District.
