Mast Capital And Koch Real Estate Investments Acquire The Islands of Islamorada Resort In The Florida Keys, Set To Launch Sales of Private Waterfront Villas

Mast Capital, in partnership with Koch Real Estate Investments, has acquired The Islands of Islamorada Resort, a luxury resort in Islamorada, Florida, offering convenient access to the Florida Keys’ renowned boating, fishing, dining and outdoor recreation destinations.

The joint venture of Mast Capital and Koch Real Estate Investments acquired the resort from the seller Frisbie Group. Berkadia Miami’s Scott Wadler arranged acquisition financing through lender Ardent Real Estate. It was reported in July 2024 that Wills Company had acquired the property for $72 million but Frisbie Group retained a stake in the partnership.

Located at 82779 Old Highway in the Upper Keys, just 90 minutes from Miami, The Islands of Islamorada Resort features 22 private, oceanside villas and eight hotel suites across a serene and exclusive enclave. The luxury resort offers direct water access and an elevated hospitality experience in one of the Florida Keys' most sought-after destinations.

Spanning approximately seven acres of exceptional shoreline property in Islamorada, known as the "Sport Fishing Capital of the World," the resort offers an array of upscale amenities, including two oceanfront swimming pools, a private beach, two pickleball courts, two playgrounds, a beachfront bar and a state-of-the-art fitness center. Guests also enjoy access to a private marina with boat slips, paddleboards, kayaks and sailboats for leisurely coastal pursuits, as well as personalized concierge services and event spaces for weddings, corporate retreats and other special occasions.

The new ownership group plans to re-launch sales and marketing efforts for the property's 22 waterfront villas, with Ocean Sotheby's International Realty serving as the exclusive sales broker. With prices starting at $3.8 million, the fully furnished, detached residences span 4,067 total square feet and feature four bedrooms, four full bathrooms, three-story layouts with covered waterfront loggias primed for outdoor entertaining, two-car garages with EV charging capabilities, premium finishes and appliances, integrated smart-home technology, and concrete block construction built to current hurricane code standards.

"The Florida Keys represent one of the country's most supply-constrained hospitality markets, where exceptional waterfront assets continue to benefit from strong long-term demand and high barriers to entry," said Jordan Kornberg, Chief Investment Officer of Mast Capital. "The Islands of Islamorada offers villa buyers a unique opportunity to own a newly built, high-quality residence in the heart of the Florida Keys with the lifestyle of a luxury resort and ability to generate income through the resort’s rental program."

“The financing reflects continued lender confidence in well-capitalized sponsors pursuing differentiated and high-barrier investments in supply-constrained markets like the Florida Keys," Wadler said. "The Islands of Islamorada offered a rare combination of an irreplaceable waterfront location, luxury condo-hotel product and an experienced ownership group with a clear business plan, allowing the financing to come together on an accelerated timeline."

The acquisition further expands Mast Capital's growing hospitality portfolio across Florida as it continues to invest in premier leisure and lifestyle destinations. The firm's hospitality holdings include the three Michelin-key destination Little Palm Island Resort & Spa in the Florida Keys, one of the state's most exclusive luxury island retreats and America’s only private island resort, accessible only by sea or sky. The firm also owns the iconic Saddlebrook Resort in Tampa Bay, a 480-acre property that recently relaunched following a transformative renovation.

In addition to its hospitality assets, Mast Capital is also currently advancing several high-profile residential projects, including The Perigon Miami Beach, an ultra-luxury oceanfront condominium developed alongside Starwood Capital Group; Cipriani Residences Miami, an 80-story luxury residential tower that recently topped off in Brickell; and Banyan Tree Residences West Palm Beach, Banyan Group’s first-ever residential project in the U.S. being developed in collaboration with Curated JCZM Development.

First Condo Listing in Miami Design District Hits The Market For $9.985 Million at Fouquet's Hotel & Residences, Miami Design District

The first condominium residence in the Miami Design District has hit the market for nearly $10 million. Unit 2101 Fouquet's Hotel & Residences, Miami Design District has officially been listed for sale, marking a milestone for the new luxury mixed-use development. Priced at $9.985 million, the listing offers buyers the first opportunity to purchase within what will become the first-ever residential development in the Miami Design District.

The listing marks the first residence within the development to officially come to market. The project will also introduce the iconic Fouquet's hospitality brand's first residential development in the United States, bringing the renowned Parisian luxury lifestyle to one of the country's fastest-growing luxury neighborhoods.

The four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath residence spans nearly 3,000 square feet and includes an additional den, expansive indoor-outdoor living areas, floor-to-ceiling glass and a large private terrace. Owners will also receive access to the full collection of services and amenities offered through the adjoining five-star Fouquet's hotel.

Developed by Miami Design District Associates (MDDA) in partnership with Raycliff Capital, Fort Partners and Constellation Hotels Holding Ltd., the mixed-use project will introduce both the neighborhood's first luxury private residences and its first luxury hotel. The arrival of Fouquet's is expected to serve as both a hospitality centerpiece and cultural anchor for the Miami Design District, creating a hospitality-driven residential experience in one of Miami's premier shopping, dining and cultural destinations.

Designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect David Chipperfield of David Chipperfield Architects, the development pairs contemporary European architecture with interiors by RDAI, the Paris-based design studio internationally recognized for designing Hermès boutiques around the world. Together, the architectural and interior design teams aim to create a refined residential environment centered on timeless materials, natural light and understated luxury.

The development will feature 143 private condominium residences within a striking 25-story residential tower, connected to an adjacent 12-story hotel containing 85 guest rooms. Fouquet's will operate both the hotel and the residential component, bringing its signature hospitality model to homeowners through concierge services, curated programming, personalized experiences and hotel-style management.

Residents will enjoy approximately 40,000 square feet of amenities, including a rooftop swimming pool, state-of-the-art fitness center, golf simulator, spa, juice bar, salon and an extensive collection of wellness offerings. The hotel will also lead the property's food and beverage program, introducing five distinct dining concepts inspired by Fouquet's celebrated culinary portfolio, further integrating the hotel's hospitality experience into everyday residential living.

The project marks another milestone for the renowned French luxury brand. Founded in 1899 on Paris's famed Champs-Élysées, Fouquet's has grown into one of the world's premier hospitality names, with luxury properties in destinations including Paris, New York, Saint-Barth and Courchevel. The Miami Design District development will become the brand's second hotel in the United States, following the opening of Fouquet's New York in 2022, while also representing its first residential development in the U.S.

Situated at 39 NE 39th Street, the nearly two-acre property places residents in the heart of the Miami Design District, surrounded by internationally recognized luxury fashion houses, acclaimed restaurants, contemporary art galleries and public art installations. The location also provides convenient access to Wynwood, Brickell, Miami Beach and Miami International Airport, positioning residents within minutes of many of South Florida's leading cultural, business and entertainment destinations.

Corcoran Sunshine Marketing Group is serving as the exclusive sales and marketing firm for Fouquet's Hotel & Residences, Miami Design District. The listing of the project's first available residence provides an early look at what will become the Miami Design District's first residential development, combining internationally recognized design, branded hospitality and luxury residential living in one of Miami's most dynamic neighborhoods.

Sant Ambroeus to Open Second Planned Miami Location at MIRAI Design District, Bringing Milanese Café Culture to Miami’s Design District

MIRAI Design District has signed Sant Ambroeus as a signature hospitality tenant, marking the heritage Italian brand’s second planned Miami location and further reinforcing the project’s position as a design-, hospitality-, and culture-driven destination within the evolving Miami Design District.

Sant Ambroeus will occupy approximately 5,000 square feet at MIRAI Design District, where the concept will include a full-service restaurant, coffee bar, and outdoor dining experience slated to open in 2028. The space will be designed by internationally acclaimed architect and designer Fabrizio Casiraghi, whose work is known for blending timeless European elegance with contemporary sensibility. More than a traditional restaurant outpost, the space is envisioned as an all-day gathering place woven into the daily life of the neighborhood, extending MIRAI’s broader vision of hospitality, design, and community. The addition reflects the continued evolution of the Design District into one of the country’s most globally recognized luxury and cultural destinations, where fashion, art, architecture, hospitality, and daily life increasingly intersect.

Developed by WellDuo, Leviathan Development, Lionheart Capital and The Lane Organization, MIRAI Design District is the first mixed-use development in the United States by internationally acclaimed architect Kengo Kuma and Associates (KKAA). The project marks a significant milestone for the influential Japanese architect, whose work has become synonymous with blending architecture, nature, and cultural experience.

Positioned along Northeast Second Avenue, MIRAI has emerged as part of the next phase of growth at the Miami Design District, emphasizing boutique retail, hospitality, architecture, and pedestrian-oriented experiences over traditional large-scale commercial development. Conceived as a more intimate and design-forward extension of the district, the project aims to create a curated environment where luxury retail, hospitality, and community life coexist more seamlessly.

“At Sant Ambroeus, we’ve always looked for locations that already possess a strong sense of identity, culture, and creative energy,” said Gaetano Guarducci, managing partner of SA Hospitality Group. “MIRAI immediately felt aligned with that philosophy. The architecture, the emphasis on thoughtful design, and the evolving energy of this part of the Design District made it feel like a natural fit for our next chapter in Miami. As Miami continues to evolve into a truly global city, we’re excited to deepen our roots here in a neighborhood that already speaks so

Founded in Milan in 1936, Sant Ambroeus has become internationally recognized for blending Milanese sophistication with contemporary New York energy, cultivating a loyal following across fashion, art, design, and hospitality circles. With locations spanning Milan, New York, Palm Beach, Aspen, Paris, and now expanding further into Miami, the brand has long positioned itself within neighborhoods where culture, creativity, and lifestyle naturally converge. The brand’s arrival at MIRAI further reinforces the project as a curated cultural destination where hospitality, architecture, fashion, and daily life intersect.

“Sant Ambroeus represents exactly the kind of thoughtful, design-conscious hospitality we envisioned for MIRAI,” said Eduardo Pelaez, principal of WellDuo. “The brand has a rare ability to create spaces that feel simultaneously international and deeply personal, rooted in elegance, culture, and everyday experience. Their presence helps define the type of environment we’re building at MIRAI: curated, design-driven, and centered around how people actually want to gather, linger, and experience Miami beautifully.”

MIRAI Design District is designed as a “floating lantern,” with a transparent ground floor, lush central garden, boutique retail spaces, and hospitality-driven public areas intended to create a more intimate and experiential extension of the Design District. The project also includes approximately 41,000 square feet of boutique class A office space tailored toward family offices, and design-oriented businesses seeking highly curated environments.

The addition of Sant Ambroeus marks a significant milestone in MIRAI’s leasing strategy, which has focused on securing tenants aligned with the project’s emphasis on architecture, culture, hospitality, and long-term neighborhood placemaking.

13th Floor Investments and Key International have officially launched sales for 619 Brickell by Nobu · Foster + Partners, marking Nobu's first-ever residential project in Miami. The development introduces a new paradigm of branded living centered on expert-led longevity, biohacking, and world-class hospitality. With sales led by Key International and ONE Sotheby's International Realty, the building is expected to commence construction within the next 12 months. Approximately $1 billion in homes have already been reserved.

Designed by the globally renowned Foster + Partners, in collaboration with Sieger Suarez, the 75-story tower will rise as a new landmark on the Brickell skyline. Comprising 296 residences, the tower’s exterior is defined by five twisting cassettes, carefully oriented to maximize water views from every home. Residences range from one- to five-bedrooms, including Sky Villas and Penthouses, with square footage spanning 1,160 SF to 5,526 SF. Pricing ranges from $3 million to over $60 million.

Located directly along the waterfront in the heart of Brickell, the property offers a rare combination of walkability and uninterrupted bayfront living, an increasingly uncommon offering among Miami’s branded residential developments. Residents at 619 Brickell will be moments from Miami’s best cultural, arts, shopping and culinary scenes.

“619 Brickell will rise as an iconic new addition to the Brickell skyline, one of the most dynamic skylines in Florida. The unique combination of Foster + Nobu makes it one of the most special projects ever launched in the Brickell market and is the perfect combination of luxury design and a fun, healthy, and active lifestyle,” said Arnaud Karsenti, Managing Principal of 13th Floor Investments, and Iñigo Ardid, President of Key International.

“619 Brickell represents the next frontier of luxury branded residential living in Miami, where exceptional design, wellness, hospitality, and lifestyle come together in a truly meaningful way,” said Liliana Paez, CEO of Key International Sales, and Daniel de la Vega, President & CEO of ONE Sotheby’s International Realty. “The extraordinary volume of early reservations is a testament to the global demand for a project of this caliber.”

The project will offer the most innovative and tech-forward longevity amenities on the market, including a dedicated focus on biohacking and wellness for residents, backed by a $25 million investment from the development team. The offering, Wellness and Longevity by Nobu, sets a new benchmark for wellness programming among residential projects. Residents will have access to advanced biohacking modalities, curated in collaboration with a leading expert in longevity and performance wellness, including cryotherapy chambers, an e-salt cabin, a neural rest therapy pod, hyperbaric oxygen therapy suites, IV and peptide therapy, ozone therapy, and dedicated physical therapy facilities, positioning 619 Brickell at the forefront of the rapidly growing biohacking-at-home movement. Beyond the expansive wellness offering, the building will feature a state-of-the-art fitness studio boasting panoramic views of Biscayne Bay.

More than 90,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor amenities are integrated throughout the 619 Brickell, designed to foster connection and movement and elevate daily life that reflects both Miami and the Nobu brand. Residents will enjoy five distinct pools — an 86-foot sunset pool, hot and cold plunge pools, a rejuvenation salt pool, and a lap pool with an outdoor spa garden — along with padel courts, game rooms, sports simulators, gardens, and more.

Nobu Hospitality will oversee all dining experiences, including a full-scale Nobu restaurant at the base of the property open to the public with exclusive resident access, a resident-only poolside Nobu cafe on the 11th floor, in-residence dining and private chef services.

"619 Brickell brings the Nobu lifestyle to Miami in a way that feels natural to the city and true to our brand,” said Trevor Horwell, Chief Executive Officer of Nobu Hospitality. “Together with Foster + Partners, 13th Floor Investments, and Key International, we are creating a residential sanctuary shaped by thoughtful design, Nobu dining, and service from the heart. It’s a place where wellbeing, privacy, and a sense of belonging come together in everyday life.”

Residential interiors at 619 Brickell are designed to embody the light, air, water and sky with cinematic views of the expansive waterfront framed by 10-foot-high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows. Miami’s indoor-outdoor lifestyle is enhanced by large wraparound terraces for relaxing or entertaining with private outdoor summer kitchens in select residences. The elegant interiors are anchored by natural materials, recalling the serenity of both Japanese design and South Florida relaxation – all outfitted with the highest level of finishes, such as Gaggenau kitchen appliances, fine Italian cabinetry, and fully-automated Lutron lighting systems.

“Capturing the energetic spirit of Brickell, our scheme is stitched into the surrounding fabric of the local community,” said Patrick Campbell, Head of Studio at Foster + Partners. “The tower’s twisting form responds to its waterfront location, maximizing natural light within the apartments and generating panoramic views of the ocean, Biscayne Bay, and Brickell Key.”

Okan Tower Reaches 75% Structural Completion As Construction Passes 50th Floor in Downtown Miami

The 902-foot Okan Tower has reached 75% structural completion, with 50 of its 72 floors now in place. With construction crews ascending at the breakneck speed of one floor a week, the Hilton Hotel-anchored, tulip-shaped supertall tower is zooming toward the finish line with a top off anticipated for August.

The tower, designed by Behar Font & Partners, is a masterful case of engineering meeting design. As the building continues its rapid ascent, its sculptural form is beginning to take shape on the skyline. Installation of the tower’s curtain wall has already advanced dozens of floors up the structure, while a series of stepped floor plates are creating the layered exterior inspired by the form of a Turkish tulip. Now rising above the surrounding Downtown buildings, the tower has quickly become one of the most visible projects reshaping Miami’s skyline.

Set to rise 902 feet, Okan Tower will be the second-largest tower in Downtown Miami. Developed by Okan Group and located at 555 North Miami Avenue, the tower is a mixed-use masterpiece, uniting hospitality, residential, wellness, and office components within a single vertical address.

The project will be anchored by a 316-key Hilton Miami Bayfront Hotel, with 236 condo-hotel units managed by Hilton Hotels & Resorts®. The tower will feature 163 Sky Residences and approximately 64,000 square feet of Class A office space.

Positioned in the urban core, Okan Tower offers direct connectivity to Miami Worldcenter and Downtown Miami’s expanding collection of cultural, dining, and entertainment destinations. From the Kaseya Center to the Frost Museum, the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts, and Freedom Tower, the location sits at the nexus of the city’s cultural and entertainment centers.

“Reaching this stage of construction is a significant achievement for the project,” said Bekir Okan, Chairman of Okan Group. “Okan Tower represents years of planning, design, and coordination. Seeing the building take its place on the Miami skyline is both rewarding and a clear reflection of the team’s disciplined execution.”

Global buyers have taken notice. Since launch, Okan Tower has secured buyers from key domestic and international markets, including Argentina, Mexico, the United States, Colombia, Turkey, Spain, and Denmark. The steady demand reflects Miami’s continued strength as a global investment and residential market, supported by ongoing migration, capital inflows, and sustained interest in South Florida’s high-end real estate sector.

“The project’s steady construction progress reflects the consistency of buyer interest we’ve seen since launch,” said Michael Sadov, Sales Director at Okan Tower. “Purchasers increasingly view Downtown Miami condos as an asset class of their own with all the lifestyle benefits that come with living in the epicenter of the most exciting city on the planet.”

Rising as one of the most architecturally distinctive supertalls in the United States, the tower delivers a fully integrated lifestyle experience anchored in design and global hospitality. Its tulip-inspired silhouette introduces a new architectural icon to the Miami skyline. The building is anchored by a ground-floor arrival with 24-hour reception and concierge services. Residents will have access to a 72nd-floor rooftop pool and sky deck with private cabanas, among the tallest rooftop pools in the country, offering expansive views of Downtown Miami and Biscayne Bay, as well as a 12th-floor lap pool complemented by a clubroom and indoor-outdoor lounge spaces.

Wellness-focused amenities include a traditional Turkish hammam, sauna, steam rooms, and private treatment areas, alongside a state-of-the-art health and fitness center, yoga studio, and Peloton® bikes. Additional features include a children’s sensory and playroom, technology theater, wine cellar, and owner’s lounge, all supported by dedicated lifestyle services for residents and guests alike.

Exclusively marketed and sold by Fortune Development Sales, Okan Tower’s sales gallery is located at 542 North Miami Avenue.

One Thousand Group, the Miami-based development team behind the city’s most iconic residential towers, together with Minor Hotels, the Bangkok-based luxury resort owner and operator of over 630 properties across Asia, Africa, Europe, the Indian Ocean and the Middle East, have announced Anantara Miami Resort & Residences, marking the Anantara brand’s highly anticipated debut in the United States. Inspired by Anantara’s origins along the tranquil beaches of Thailand, Anantara Miami Resort & Residences will draw on centuries-old Thai traditions to present a new sanctuary at the convergence of Miami’s Edgewater, Design District and Wynwood neighborhoods, a waterfront enclave in the heart of the city.

The planned 50-story tower will feature 100 private branded condominium residences and 120 resort residences allowing owners to make their residences available to hotel guests, 50 five-star boutique hotel suites and a collection of unprecedented vitality and longevity amenities that will bring the principles of ancient healing and modern longevity into Miami’s urban landscape for the first time. Rising 650 feet above Biscayne Bay, Anantara Miami Resort & Residences will command unprecedented waterfront views and is expected to open in 2030.

“Anantara Miami Resort & Residences introduces something entirely new to the U.S.,” said Kevin Venger, Co-Founder of One Thousand Group. “It’s not just another branded residence, but a fully realized concept that blends hospitality, private ownership and longevity into one unified experience. Here, we’re able to deliver a fully layered holistic lifestyle that reflects how people are choosing to live today.”

With a development vision conceived by One Thousand Group, Anantara Miami Resort & Residences is backed by the credibility and market expertise a project of this caliber demands. One Thousand Group is a leading Miami development firm known for redefining the Miami skyline and urban high-rise living with buildings like One Thousand Museum – the final residential project designed by the late Zaha Hadid, which drew elite buyers across finance, entertainment and professional sports – and Villa Miami, a partnership with Major Food Group that is currently under construction. The firm identified Anantara as the foremost longevity brand today and led the collaboration to bring the concept to Miami.

“True luxury is time, the freedom to pause, to explore, and to experience the world more deeply,” said William E Heinecke, Founder and Chairman of Minor International, owning company of Minor Hotels. “Miami is the perfect location for the debut of our luxury Anantara brand into the U.S., and we are excited to partner with One Thousand Group to bring this vision to reality.”

As the first U.S. location for the 25-year-old brand, Anantara Miami Resort & Residences will invite American audiences to discover its distinct approach to hospitality. Anantara, meaning “without end” in Sanskrit, is known for properties steeped in natural beauty, immersed in the world's most refined approach on healing and vitality. The resorts are found in the most captivating locations around the world – from vibrant cities and vast deserts, to lush jungles and palm-fringed beaches – and the new Miami location will join a collection of more than 50 properties in destinations like the Maldives, Vietnam, Indonesia, Mozambique, Austria, France, Italy, Spain and beyond. This breadth also reflects the extraordinary portfolio of Anantara’s parent company, Minor Hotels, which is best known in the U.S. for its Koh Samui owned properties in Thailand that served as the setting for Season 3 of HBO’s “The White Lotus.”

“Our approach has always been to anticipate where the market is going and develop buildings that don’t yet exist in Miami,” said Michael Konig, Co-Founder of One Thousand Group. “With Anantara, we saw an opportunity to bring a globally respected brand into a market that is ready for something more meaningful and experience driven.”

One Thousand Group is also celebrated for creating innovative design and amenity offerings that quickly become essential in new development. For example, each of their projects includes a private rooftop helipad, a rare but forward-thinking feature attractive to ultra-high-net-worth buyers who value privacy and connectivity. Anantara Miami Resort & Residences builds on this track record, incorporating a helipad alongside a new layer of hospitality-driven experiences shaped by Anantara’s Thai-inspired approach to service, wellness and cultural immersion– offerings that have not previously been introduced in the city.

“We are focused on delivering our signature experiences and amenities, while seamlessly incorporating the authentic offerings of the brands we partner with,” said Louis Birdman, Co-Founder of One Thousand Group. “The result is a development that feels both uniquely ours and true to the brand’s heritage.”

Anantara Miami Resort & Residences will bring together an internationally recognized design team whose work reflects both Anantara’s heritage and Miami’s cosmopolitan character. Architecture by the acclaimed firm Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF) and ODP Architecture & Design (ODP) will modernize the skyline with a design that is distinctly Miami, including subtle Thailand-inspired cues that capture the essence of the Anantara brand. KPF has designed some of the world’s most recognized and transformative skyscrapers, including One Vanderbilt in New York, Lotte World Tower in Seoul, one of the tallest buildings in the world and 18 Robinson, a sleek award-winning statement building in Singapore, along with ODP who collaborated with the developer on the designs of One Thousand Museum and Villa Miami. The interiors of the building will represent the first residential project in the U.S. designed by Patricia Urquiola, the celebrated talent known for shaping contemporary hospitality, another superlative milestone raising the global cachet of the new resort and residences.

Guided by the brand’s core values of authenticity and immersion, Anantara Miami Resort & Residences is designed to tap into the growing desire for an urban sanctuary. The building itself has been thoughtfully layered, with the hotel comprising the first three tower floors and the resort residences and private condominiums positioned above. Wellness programming will be anchored across the podium levels, including hotel and condominium-specific amenities and a dedicated vitality center focused on movement, nutrition and recovery. Curated rituals and meaningful moments will create a deep sense of discovery, while award-winning expertise in holistic and indigenous healing practices will restore the balance of daily life. The cherished custom of ‘nam jai’ – translating to ‘water from the heart,’ a Thai cultural concept representing genuine, selfless kindness, generosity and hospitality performed without the expectation of reward – will inspire the experience and underscore the project’s commitment to delivering an enriched lifestyle.

Located at the convergence of Miami’s Edgewater, Design District and Wynwood neighborhoods, Anantara Miami Resort & Residences marks a defining gateway into the city’s waterfront high-rise district, distinguished as the first tower in the area with unobstructed northern views over Biscayne Bay. With a highly walkable setting, the property offers seamless access to the city’s leading restaurants, galleries, boutiques and cultural institutions, including Pérez Art Museum, the Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science and the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts.

Sales are expected to launch to the public later this year, with the developer selecting ONE Sotheby’s International Realty as the exclusive sales team for the project.
