Their collection, which began with a Keith Haring print from his 'Fertility' series (1983), has since flourished, reflecting their dedication to supporting emerging artists and capturing diverse cultural narratives.

Construction of DAMAC International's 'The Delmore' Continues In Surfside As Deep-Soil Mixing Begins
DAMAC International’s initial foray in the U.S., The Delmore, a 12-story, ultra-luxury boutique oceanfront condominium, has reached a new stage of its construction process with the imminent commencement of the deep-soil mixing (DSM) process.
DAMAC International’s initial foray in the U.S., The Delmore, a 12-story, ultra-luxury boutique oceanfront condominium designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, has reached a new stage of its construction process with the imminent commencement of the deep-soil mixing (DSM) process. Heading up the DSM process is Keller North America, the world’s largest geotechnical contractor. Their experience in this arena is recognized on a global scale. Having completely removed the remnants of the basement; the start of the cutting-edge DSM technology is a crucial phase of the project’s construction in that it stabilizes the soil and creates a watertight barrier around the perimeter of the site.
DSM is a preferred process in coastal areas in that it maintains the existing level of the surrounding water table, but it is a vibration-free system that improves the quality of the soil, without the need of pile driving. The DSM technology also monitors the quality of the soil throughout the process, beginning to end.
“Traditionally, once a basement was excavated, sheet piles are pounded into the ground to interlock with each other and create a metal wall,” said Jeffery Rossely, Senior Vice President of Development for DAMAC International. “Through DSM, we are using the existing soil and not removing it – as traditionally done – which is much more environmentally sound. Every facet of The Delmore’s construction is designed to minimize impact on the land and the surrounding communities.”
“The technology is unsurpassed, specifically for coastal areas,” said Michael Meneses, Branch Manager South Florida for Keller North America. “With prior systems you had to come to the end of the process to see how successful it was. With DSM you are measuring the soil mix strength while in the process, as you go, providing mounds of data to help ensure success.”
The Delmore, a market one-of-one, will be a 12-story, ultra-luxury boutique oceanfront condominium located at 8777 Collins Avenue in the Town of Surfside, Miami. Situated in Miami’s Billionaire’s Triangle – the property will feature true mansions in the sky, with residences averaging more than 7,000 square feet, all supported by more than 55,000 square feet of unparalleled amenities.
Led by globally recognized founder Hussain Sajwani, DAMAC International is known as a prime property market pacesetter, with a portfolio of more than 45,000 luxury residences throughout a multitude of acclaimed global destinations, including London, Toronto, and the Maldives.
Designed by internationally acclaimed Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA), The Delmore features 200 linear feet of sandy beachfront, as well as unobstructed views of the Atlantic Ocean, Biscayne Bay, and Miami skyline.
Sales of The Delmore are being exclusively brokered by Douglas Elliman. Construction has an anticipated completion of 2029.
The 37 mansions, featuring an impressive, flow-through canyon with sky views that will delineate the building’s north and south wings, will be directed by a Residence Manager and served by residential butlers, providing residents an unparalleled level of service. A spectacular see-through swimming pool, suspended 125 feet in the air, will further define the property as an architectural showplace.
Expansive wraparound terraces at The Delmore will be staggered floor by floor – never aligning vertically. This unique, stepped configuration will not only amplify the mansions’ sense of seclusion and their connection to the oceanfront setting, but reduce the building’s visual impact from the beach. A series of sculptural, shell-shaped fins along the façade will be additional key features, ensuring privacy between mansions while simultaneously providing shade from direct sunlight in the heat of the day.
Prices for four- to five-bedroom mansions in The Delmore – all fully finished, each with private elevator entry foyers – will start at $15 million. Each of the property’s wings will have no more than two residences per floor.
Additional features of The Delmore include an exquisite rooftop deck with unobstructed sunset, Bay, and Miami skyline vistas, a state-of-the-art fitness center, an indoor, 75-foot lap pool, a signature meditation garden, a wellness accompanied by a suite of offerings, a curated, Michelin-starred menu, exclusive to residents and their guests.
The Delmore’s connection to the surrounding environment and landscaping will be spearheaded by Miami-headquartered CLAD Landscape Architecture & Design, founded by the globally acclaimed Carolina Monteiro.
“As one of the world’s premier developers of high-end residential properties, we utilize best-practices for each and every one of our projects,” Rossely concluded. “It is a major factor of our company’s appeal to high-net-worth individuals.”

Today, the firm is focused on the development of luxury residential, mixed-use multifamily, and transit-oriented developments, growing the firm’s industrial portfolio, and expanding its single-family homebuilding business, 13th Floor Homes.
Midtown Equities partnered with Cipriani to develop the first Casa Cipriani in the U.S. in New York City at the Battery Maritime Building in Lower Manhattan. The firm is a privately-held real estate investment and development company that serves as the investment platform for the Cayre Family. Headquartered in New York City, the firm maintains an exceptional portfolio of over 100 properties that encompass more than 14 million square feet in the retail, office, residential, industrial, and hospitality sectors. The firm actively acquires, develops, leases, and manages properties ranging from urban redevelopment projects to commercial centers in New York, Washington, D.C., Miami, Chicago, and Los Angeles as well as abroad.

Miami- and New York-based real estate developer Baron Property Group (“BPG”) have closed on $206 million in construction financing for Metro Parc North, a new ground-up residential multifamily development in Hialeah, FL.

Construction on Metro Parc North is well underway after breaking ground last month and is slated for completion in late 2027.
Metro Parc North is Baron Property Group’s second transit-oriented development in Hialeah. BPG closed on a $148 million construction loan with Post Road Group and HKS in September 2022 to capitalize Metro Parc, a Class-A mixed-use development offering retail and 559 rental homes adjacent to Metro Parc North.
“Securing this construction financing from Post Road Group continues to strengthen our vision for Hialeah’s transformation and was a significant milestone both for this development and Baron Property Group,” said Matthew Baron, Founder and President of Baron Property Group. “This financing is a testament to our ability to deliver a high-quality residential community that contributes to the city's growth. With its modern design, luxury amenities and seamless connectivity to public transit, Metro Parc North will set a new standard for living in the area.”

We look forward to partnering with Matt and his team as they work to complete the project.”
"Securing financing for Metro Parc North alongside Baron Property Group reinforces our shared commitment to shaping Hialeah's future," said Ayush Kapahi, principal and founding partner at HKS. "This project is more than just a residential development — it's a pivotal step in creating a vibrant, transit-connected community. At HKS, we remain focused on delivering strategic solutions that drive urban growth and create long-term value for developers and the neighborhoods they serve."
Designed by Modis Architects, Metro Parc North will offer 661 rental residences ranging from studios to three-bedroom homes.
