Constellation Group, the Miami-based commercial real estate investment and development firm, and Ironwood Venture Group, a real estate development firm, have sold over $21 million combined of the residences at SeaGlass Cove, a new lush, private enclave consisting of just 14 single-family homes in Marathon, Fla., in the heart of the Florida Keys. Buyers have been a mix of end users intending to reside at the community, and investors seeking passive income through short term rentals. The first three homes of the oceanfront development, where residences start at in the low $3 million range, are slated for completion in March 2024.

"The extraordinary sales success is a testament to the rising demand for new construction oceanfront properties, especially those allowing weekly rentals, as well as SeaGlass Cove’s design and appealing architecture emphasizing, intimacy, exclusivity, and the laid-back luxury lifestyle that celebrates the best of the Florida Keys,” said Eduardo Otaola, Principal at Constellation Group. “It’s a highly unique blend of barefoot luxury meets carefree oceanfront living.”

The oceanfront enclave features a myriad of resort-style amenities, including a pool overlooking the ocean, a private on-site pickleball court, and activities that include paddleboarding, swimming, fishing, snorkeling, biking, and much more from the property’s private beach.

Rilea Group Launches The Rider at Wynwood Turn-Key Condo With No Rental Restrictions

Take a ride on the wild side at The Rider at Wynwood, Miami-based Rilea Group’s latest high-end condominium located in Miami’s Wynwood district, the city’s most exhilarating neighborhood. Located at 94 NE 29th Street, the 12-story, 146 turnkey-unit boutique building breaks the boundaries of everyday living with an atmosphere rich in rock-n-roll history and an amenity collection that’s equal parts rest and rebellion. Delivering the ultimate indulgence of all – freedom – buyers can rent out their units either short-term or long-term without rental restrictions and enjoy prime connectivity with the upcoming Brightline’s high-speed rail stop just steps from the building. Construction of the development, led by general contractor Coastal Construction, will begin later this year, with delivery slated in late 2026.

The Rider at Wynwood delivers today's jetsetters and investors the ultimate riff for living on their own terms. Owners will have the option of full- or part-time living, with the ability to rent out their fully furnished units on the platform of their choosing like Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, etc., or take advantage of The Rider at Wynwood’s in-house rental management service.

Short-term rentals have grown increasingly popular in South Florida in recent years. During the pandemic, between 2021 and 2022, some 58.9 million overnight visitors spent $13.8 billion on vacation rentals in Florida, Oxford Economics said in an economic impact study. Additionally, according to a recent report by Chamber of Commerce, the average daily rate for short-term rentals in Miami is among the 10-highest markets in the U.S.

The Rider at Wynwood is the brainchild of Rilea Group, and will follow the success of the firm’s sold-out, luxury condominium The Bond on Brickell; 1450 Brickell Office Tower, home to J.P. Morgan’s headquarters; One Broadway luxury apartment tower; and the Sabadell Financial Center – all set within Miami’s sought-after Brickell Financial District, nicknamed “Wall Street South.”

“As a proud member of the Wynwood Business Improvement District, I have the unique privilege of witnessing the remarkable evolution of this dynamic neighborhood first-hand,” said Diego Ojeda, President of Rilea Group. “The growth and transformation of Wynwood is not just about the development of new buildings; it's about creating a vibrant community that reflects the innovative spirit of Miami. The upcoming Brightline station, situated just 85 yards from The Rider at Wynwood site, symbolizes the exciting future ahead.”

The Rider at Wynwood will serve as a launchpad into Miami’s trendiest communities, located at the crossroads of Wynwood, Midtown and Design District, with easy access to I-95. Residents will also be able to walk to Wynwood’s upcoming Brightline station, set to rise just one block away on 27th Street and connecting riders to a new regional transportation system with access to popular destinations including Aventura, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, West Palm Beach, Orlando, and more – car-free. When the desire to ride in style strikes, owners and guests can also utilize The Rider at Wynwood’s fleet of in-house Harley Davidson motorcycles, vespas, and electric bicycles along with 24-hour valet service, EV charging stations, and a parking garage.

“This development is more than a milestone for us at Rilea Group; it represents a pivotal moment for Wynwood. The upcoming Brightline station will enhance connectivity and accessibility, making it even easier for residents and visitors to explore several of our state’s major cities. We are thrilled to be at the heart of Wynwood's ongoing transformation and to contribute to its future as a leading destination for culture, creativity, and community," added Ojeda.

When at home, residents and guests will be captivated by an ambiance that pays homage to the icons of the music industry, immortalized via a curated collection of famous 1970s-era rock photography from Morrison Hotel Gallery, Iconic Images and Modern Rocks Gallery in the common areas and amenity spaces.

Through the building, each floor tells a different story of decadence and defiance. Start the day at the ground-floor “Ready, Set, Café” in the lobby and then press play on AC/DC and hit the gym, complete with state-of-the-art Pelotons, training mirrors, and Technogym equipment. Get ready for your close-up at the “Backstage” beauty room, outfitted for hair, makeup, and nail services; pamper your pet too at the “Doggy Style” pet spa. Chill out at “The Vinyl” hi-fi listening room with a state-of-the-art sound system and an epic collection of classic records to comb through. Then, ascend to the crown jewel of The Rider at Wynwood, the rooftop pool deck, home to a resort-style pool overlooking the city as well as a standout restaurant and speakeasy bar that will be accessible from the ground level via a direct private elevator through a side entrance. The following day, be sure to visit the “The Reset” room to enhance one’s well-being, with multiple cold plunge pools, infrared saunas, and IV therapy – ensuring that you can keep living like a rockstar.

With prices ranging from the $600,000s to upwards of $1.8 million, The Rider at Wynwood will offer fully furnished studios, 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom residences, with select floorplans featuring dens and half baths, measuring between 511 and 1,612 square feet in size.

Leading The Rider at Wynwood’s sales and marketing efforts is Cervera Real Estate, one of the most prominent residential brokerage firms in South Florida and the Americas.

“The Rider at Wynwood will be more than a striking condo building,” said Alicia Cervera Lamadrid, Managing Partner of Cervera Real Estate. “It will capture the spirit of Wynwood, offering buyers the opportunity to live, play, and go – as they see fit, when they see fit – with all the convenience of the new Brightline station immediately adjacent to the property.”

Each turn-key residence will come complete with open living areas, gourmet kitchens with elegant Italian Bertazonni appliances, Dekton by Cosentino countertops, spa-inspired primary baths with Porcelanosa fixtures, smart home technology with keyless entry, all glass balconies and impact windows. The aesthetic will be a continuation of the building’s interior, with rich hues, bold fabrics and a distinct sexy glamour that will embody the legendary spirit of the 1970s.

The Rider at Wynwood is designed by Deforma Studio, a Miami-based architecture firm that just completed Bella Isla, a luxury waterfront multifamily development adjacent to The Standard Spa, Miami Beach. The Rider at Wynwood will combine the feel of Chicago’s industrial gritty aesthetic and the exposed brick, steel, and concrete found in New York’s SoHo and Meat Packing Districts with Miami’s vibrant Wynwood artistic flavor. Adorning the building’s façade and interiors will be various commissioned murals and graffiti art from renowned international artists.

The Rider at Wynwood’s innovative interior design concepts are the creation of RADYCA, whose museums, pavilions, private residences, mega-yachts, and private jets have won countless awards around the world since the firm’s founding in Mexico City. RADYCA is also behind The Bond, Rilea Group’s most recent luxury condominium development on Brickell Avenue.

With 15 million visitors a year, according to the Wynwood Business Improvement District, Wynwood is often dubbed Miami’s “coolest” neighborhood. It acts as a captivating canvas, beckoning artists to leave their marks in the form of iconic murals and vibrant street art that has resulted in a collaborative collection of not just art, but also standout stores, restaurants, entertainment and more in an area that was once just warehouses. Recognizing the electrifying atmosphere and how it fuels innovation, tech titans have chosen to open up shop in the district, now home to blue chip tenants such as Spotify, Live Nation, TikTok’s parent company, Gensler Architecture, Sony Music and more.

Rilea Group is also developing the adjacent property to The Rider at Wynwood - Mohawk at Wynwood, a 12-story, 300-unit multifamily development with 31,000 square feet of ground-floor retail located at 56 NE 29th Street.

Miami-based developer Riviera Horizons and Italian Hypercar brand Pagani have revealed the world's first Pagani Residences, a boutique luxury residential building with interiors designed by Pagani Arte, set to launch in Miami’s North Bay Village this spring, with completion slated in 2027. Fortune Development Sales will lead sales and marketing for Miami’s first-ever Hypercar branded building which will offer 70 handcrafted, waterfront residences with prices starting at $2.4 million. Pagani Automobili is a luxury brand renowned for its exquisite quality, unique engineering, and tailor-made handcrafted Hypercars, which stand among the most desired in the world.

“Pagani Residences represent an exciting blend of Pagani's bespoke design approach with the finest materials, and the vibrant allure of Miami's beauty and dynamic energy. This innovative fusion embodies the distinctive essence that defines Pagani,” said Horacio Pagani, founder and CEO of Pagani Automobili. “Our aspiration is for residence owners to evoke the same exhilaration and excitement that our auto enthusiasts and owners experience every time they get behind the wheel of their Pagani Hypercar.”

Designed by Miami’s renowned architecture firm Revuelta Architecture International, with interiors curated by Pagani Arte, the newly established Made in Italy interior design division was born from the founder of Pagani Automobili.

Located at 7940 West Drive, North Bay Village, the 28-story, amenity-rich property will feature a 240-foot waterfront boardwalk, private boat slips, and entertainment spaces for 70, all-corner residences. The spacious, two-to-four-bedroom homes range from 2,000 to over 3,300 square feet with expansive outdoor terrace spaces ranging from over 800 to 1,040 square feet, with only four residences per floor, making privacy paramount. Penthouses span from 6,900 square feet with up to 4,400 square feet of outdoor living.

“Pagani Residences in Miami are set to redefine the art of handcrafted living, presenting a curated experience that effortlessly extends the essence of Pagani—an embodiment of obsession with detail, refined taste, and a level of craftsmanship that is truly rare in today's world,” remarked the project’s developer, Mikael Hamaoui, founder and CEO of Riviera Horizons.

Each home will be entirely customized and fully finished with 11-foot ceilings in all residences with waterfront-facing outdoor spaces and 13-foot ceilings in the penthouses with private pools. Owners will enjoy 24/7 concierge service to anticipate every need.

Pagani Residences will include an exquisite collection of amenities. On the ground floor residents’ amenities include valet parking and porte-cocheĚre, a pet spa, bicycle, paddleboard and kayak storage, 24/7 security, private garages available for purchase and preferred parking.

“Miami continues to stand as a pinnacle global living destination, drawing buyers from every corner of the world.

Domus Brickell Park Now Over 50% Sold As Developer Converts Reservations to Contracts

Domus Brickell Park has converted reservations to contracts, with over 50% of the 171 residential units sold, including its sole commercial space. The project is being developed by North Development, a strategic joint-venture between experienced Miami developer Ricardo Dunin’s Oak Capital and Edifica, one of the largest developers and builders in Peru. Sales of Domus Brickell Park, which launched less than a year ago, now total more than $55 million, with the first commissions to realtors fully paid and the project’s groundbreaking slated for the end of Q1.

Located at 1611 SW 2nd Avenue, in Miami’s Brickell Financial District, Domus Brickell Park is the first offering within the developer’s Domus FLATS (Flexible Apartments for Temporary Stays) portfolio. Delivery is on track for the 2025 winter season, with remaining available units ranging from the $500,000’s to $1.2 million, and from 330 square feet to 947 square feet.

“This is a major milestone – a defining moment punctuated by tremendous marketplace demand,” said Dunin, Founding Partner of North Development. “We have taken our collective decades of experience in high-touch hospitality and exclusive branded condominium residences to reimagine the outdated condo-hotel concept through this new and innovative form. The subsequent interest has been overwhelming, as evidenced by these results.”

Designed by Zyskovich Architects, the 12-story Domus Brickell Park comprises 171 fully-furnished studio, one and two-bedroom condominium residences, each complemented by a palpable sense of home – from private balconies and keyless entry smart lock systems to premium appliances, finishes, and in-unit washers and dryers. Adding to its distinction is the building’s robust array of amenities, which include a 4,200-square-foot central gathering space, a café with baristas, a wine bar with a covered terrace, a gourmet market, lush garden lounge, state-of-the-art gym, steam room, rooftop pool deck, cabanas with daybeds, a hot tub, and a bike share program.

A major component of the Domus FLATS model involves operating efficiencies, which will help reduce owners’ costs -- a direct reflection of the developers’ deep-seated experience in hospitality. For instance, the property will have high-profile, senior-level hotel management oversight. Even the 24-hour valet service will be spearheaded by a company with longstanding ties to luxury hotels across the U.S.

Domus will also implement a reservations platform at par with major hotels, airlines, and other booking services, facilitating ease of access to reservations for prospective guests. The Domus App will allow for seamless check-ins, room and elevator access, and numerous other services and benefits; but there will also be a 24/7 concierge on-site for those guests who would like support at check-in -- or during any part of their stay.

“There is simply no concept quite like Domus FLATS,” said Juan Carlos Tassara, cofounder of Edifica. “Buyers will be able to enjoy the property, and when they choose to rent their units, guests will benefit from a brand conceived not as a condominium, but a hotel. This encourages future business and stability for owners.”

Furthering the project’s draw is the involvement of Domus Management, a subsidiary of North Development that was specifically created to service Domus-branded projects. Domus Management has decades of industry experience, with its partners having developed of some of the world's most celebrated hotels, including the iconic Le Sereno Hotel in St. Barth. Resultantly, just like in a luxury hotel, Domus Brickell Park will mean consistency of product, efficiency, and professionalism, which will translate to a much more robust, short-term rental process for the unit’s owners, as Domus is designed to achieve repeat guests.

“There is no doubt that the differential advantage is our deep-rooted hospitality experience,” concluded Dunin. “It’s an absolute win-win for the unit owners, as well as the individuals to whom they will ultimately rent.”

Mercedes Benz Launches First Branded Residence In The United States in Collaboration With JDS Development Group

JDS Development Group and Mercedes-Benz have revealed Mercedes-Benz Places in Miami, a 67-story, mixed-use residential project was designed by SHoP Architects where construction is already underway with an expected completion in 2027. Located at 1 Southside Park, Mercedes-Benz Places is set to deliver over 2.5 million square feet of mixed-use development including 791 branded residences, 130,000 square feet of amenities and hospitality space, 200,000 square feet of office space, health and fitness facilities, a 174-key hotel, retail outlets, and on-site parking. Pricing for the residences is set to start at $550,000 and ranges up to $4 million for the largest three bedroom floor plan; penthouses are yet to be released. The project is also the first branded real-estate project for Mercedes-Benz in the United States, centered around the theme of “Timeless Design, Inspired by Miami.”

“It is a privilege to work with Mercedes-Benz and move beyond a traditional residential building to create a new community for the future. Underpinned by sustainable building methods and design, Mercedes‑Benz Places in Miami will create a legacy not just for Brickell, but Florida as a whole.” Said Michael Stern, Founder & CEO of JDS Development Group

This visionary tower is being developed by JDS Development Group, the company behind some of the world’s most transformative skyscrapers of the past decade. The project is part of the Mercedes-Benz licencing business by Mercedes-Benz Customer Solutions GmbH. The Mercedes-Benz design team has worked in collaboration with award-winning SHoP Architects to ensure the structure embodies the brand’s design philosophy of Sensual Purity.

The residential tower will be built in Brickell at 1 Southside Park, comprising 791 Mercedes-Benz residences with studios to 3-bedroom condominiums. Occupants will enjoy spectacular views of Miami, Biscayne Bay, the Atlantic Ocean, and beyond.Foundation work is underway and initial occupancy is planned to start in 2027. Sales will be managed by SERHANT, a multidimensional real estate and media company.

“Our branded real-estate venture in Miami embodies the strategy behind Mercedes-Benz Places. We want to develop exclusive residences with our partner that are undeniably Mercedes-Benz and create a new mode of urban living with vibrant communities. Ultimately, we want to create places to come home to, in a location worth living in.” Said Eva Wiese, Head of Mercedes-Benz Customer Solutions GmbH

The design of Mercedes-Benz Places in Miami centres around an eye-catching, cube-shaped mixed-use tower. These simple geometric bodies are interconnected to create a prominent skyscraper that stands out in the current architectural landscape of Miami. The shape of the building has been refined through the Mercedes-Benz design philosophy of Sensual Purity. This is the symbiosis of intelligence and emotion – two contrasting principles that combine to create clear forms and sensuous surfaces. The emotional side of Sensual Purity is characterised by free-flowing, elliptical lines and shapes inspired by nature. With its stacked-box design, this project reflects the technical side of the design language.

“Our distinctive style is Sensual Purity. This philosophy, based on the duality of emotion and intelligence, consists of a hot and a cool pole. The cool aspect represents very much the tradition of geometric German long live design originated in the Bauhaus. This crucial part of our brand was the inspiration for the architecture of this extraordinary new Mercedes-Benz Places landmark in Miami.” Said Gorden Wagener, Chief Design Officer, Mercedes-Benz AG

Looking at the architecture of Mercedes-Benz Places in Miami in more detail, the profiles of the individual balconies and terraces are designed to capture the light in a wide variety of ways. Technical silver is the dominant colour, complemented by the classic Mercedes-Benz black and white, to create opportunities for distinctive highlights and stimulating contrasts. The overall architectural effect commands a distinct presence on the Miami skyline.

Mercedes-Benz Places in Miami will give residents and guests access to a range of customer-centric living solutions. There will be more than 130,000 square feet of amenities and hospitality space. In addition, there will be 200,000 square feet of office space, health and fitness facilities, a 174-key hotel, retail outlets, and on-site parking. Innovative mobility solutions also play a key role with space for EV charging stations, valet parking, a car fleet for occupants, plus bicycle and scooter sharing. Mobility and innovative digital solutions will be developed in collaboration with ReWyre, a leading commercial property technology platform.

In addition to changing the residential landscape, Mercedes-Benz Places in Miami aims to transform the Brickell neighborhood. Key to this will be reimagining Southside Park as an urban oasis through a collaboration with renowned urban landscape designers, Field Operations. With its canopy of trees and native vegetation, such as mango trees and shortleaf figs, the project aims to create a healthy living space. The regeneration strategy also supports a range of environmentally friendly activities, including energy-efficient production, impactful vegetation, and water conservation.
