Adam Neumann Launches First Condo Project at Miami Worldcenter

Adam Neumann, co-founder of Flow, has announced the launch of his first condominium development project in Downtown Miami, marking Flow's expansion into the ownership market. The project, named Flow House, will be located in Miami Worldcenter and will include 466 units spread across 40 stories. Slated for delivery in 2025, Flow House will offer luxury living with a range of amenities, including coworking spaces, a fitness center, poolside restaurant, and spa. Sales will be managed by One World Properties led by Peggy Olin, with prices starting at $450,000 for studios.

Flow House is designed to address the growing demand for community-focused urban living, reflecting Flow’s ethos of integrating work, wellness, and connectivity into the residential experience. The project targets a wide range of buyers, with options from studios to larger one-bedroom units, all offering floor-to-ceiling windows and high-end finishes. Some units include private balconies, and residents can upgrade to gourmet kitchens as part of the customization options available.

Located at 697 N Miami Avenue, Flow House is part of the rapidly growing Miami Worldcenter district, a prime location close to restaurants, entertainment, and major transportation networks. The development aims to provide residents with both the convenience of city living and the wellness-focused amenities associated with Flow properties.

“We learned while building Flow over the last two years that the exact same needs faced by renters are also faced by owners in terms of lack of community and lack of connectivity,” said Flow co-founder Adam Neumann. “We are excited to build upon our vision and bring the full Flow experience, which is rooted in community and a sense of belonging, to anyone looking for a better experience from their permanent residence.”

In addition to the residential units, Flow House will feature a variety of shared spaces designed to enhance the resident experience, including coworking areas, a resort-style pool, yoga studios, and concierge services. The development also includes amenities such as a dog run, restaurant, and spa facilities, which cater to both the professional and leisure needs of residents.

Flow, which has been supported by venture capital firm a16z, is expanding its portfolio across the U.S. and internationally.

Swire Properties, Inc. has revealed the highly anticipated Sales Pavilion for The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami. Located on the southern tip of Brickell Key, the future site of The Residences, this 7,000-square-foot pavilion has been designed as three expertly curated spaces floating on water with panoramic ocean views. The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami, has seen close to $500 million in contracts signed in the first 60 days of sales, out of almost $1 billion in reservations to date. Pricing for current availability starts at $4.9 million with sales and marketing exclusively overseen by Fortune Development Sales. The Residences are expected to be completed from 2029.

“When we set out to design the final development here on Brickell Key, the one that would complete our 40-year master plan, we knew it had to be something special.

The Sales Pavilion offers prospective buyers a first look at the interiors and views from their new home. Conceived by The Residences’ global design team, including Parisian interior designers Tristan Auer and Laura Gonzalez, it features bespoke finishes and decor throughout. For example, the hospitality desk, which welcomes guests upon arrival, is adorned with hand-placed, individually painted coconut shells, along with hand-woven leather screens that filter light into the space. The one-of-a-kind, hand-painted Mandarin Oriental hospitality bar, imagined by Laura Gonzalez, mimics the flow of water with ripples of blues and greens. In the model residence bungalow, envisioned by Tristan Auer, guests experience furnishings, lighting, and finishes that evoke the final lifestyle available to buyers, including honed marble in the kitchen and bathroom, leather-wrapped interiors in the primary closet, and a midnight bar adjacent to the primary bedroom for ease. The design team for The Residences also includes architecture by lead architect Kohn Pedersen Fox, landscapes by Thai firm Shma, and lighting by UK-based lighting architect Speirs Major.

"The quality and overall experience of the sales pavilion align perfectly with Fortune’s commitment to not only delivering an exceptional product but also creating an experience that enhances the way people live. We are proud to partner with Swire Properties and the Mandarin Oriental brand, and we look forward to breaking barriers in the vibrant heart of Miami," said Edgardo Defortuna, President & CEO, Fortune International Group.

The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami, will comprise two towers and will bring together world-class design, legendary service of Mandarin Oriental, and stunning panoramic views. The South Tower will feature 228 residences with interiors by renowned Parisian designer Tristan Auer. The North Tower, with interiors by AD 100 designer Laura Gonzalez, will feature the new North American flagship Mandarin Oriental hotel – with 121 rooms, a signature Spa at Mandarin Oriental, and multiple intimate fine-dining and al fresco restaurants – along with an additional 66 private residences and 28 hotel residences slated to be launched soon.
