Fortune International Group and Blue Road have officially topped off Nexo Residences, marking a significant construction milestone for the 16-story short-term rental condominium in the rapidly evolving city of North Miami Beach. Designed for modern ownership and flexible use, the project continues to gain strong market traction, reaching 90% in sales to date and on schedule for completion in 2026.

“We’re proud to celebrate the topping off of Nexo Residences, an achievement that reflects the strength of the project and the enthusiasm it’s generating among buyers worldwide,” said Edgardo Defortuna, CEO of Fortune International Group. “With buyers from more than 25 countries, Nexo is fulfilling its vision of offering something for everyone—combining flexibility, design, and service in a way that resonates globally, underscoring Fortune’s commitment to creating enduring developments defined by thoughtful innovation and attention to detail.”

With exclusive sales and marketing by Fortune Development Sales, Nexo Residences’ 254 units will be delivered fully furnished. Priced from $599,000s, studio to three-bedroom floorplans, along with a collection of three and four-bedroom townhomes range from 531 to 2,438 interior square feet.

Nexo Residences has garnered considerable interest from buyers who are drawn to the property’s convenient location and rental capabilities, an appealing feature for those seeking the freedom to use their space on their own terms. A dedicated on-site management team further supports owners by handling guest check-ins, check-outs, and housekeeping services during their absence.

Adding to the appeal is the project’s EB-5 Program. To comply, international investors must invest $1,050,000 in Nexo’s EB-5 Program and follow the required process under the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for eligibility to receive a green card, officially known as a permanent resident status. A limited number of spots remain available.

Each turnkey residence features floor-to-ceiling windows, porcelain flooring, built-in-bedroom closets, dedicated lockable owners’ closets, and expansive balconies with glass railing. European-style kitchens are outfitted with quartz countertops and matte black fixtures for a modern look.

Enhanced digital features, such as smart key access, a self-service package system, and Wi-Fi throughout the common areas, provide ease for owners and guests. Additional tech-driven management systems to further elevate the transient experience will also be introduced in the future.

Blending the necessities of remote work life with inspiration from South Florida as a year-round vacation destination, Nexo Residences’ suite of amenities includes a three-story arrival lobby and lounge with a café; a two-story tech hub with coworking spaces; a luxury pool deck and jacuzzi; three fully equipped summer kitchens; a fitness center with a yoga studio and virtual trainer; and a rooftop observatory deck with unobstructed views to the south. Entertainment offerings include an outdoor children’s playground, a multi-purpose clubroom and private event area, and an outdoor movie theater. The property will also be pet friendly.

“Nexo is thoughtfully designed as a playground for all ages, with amenities that speak to families, leisure seekers, and professionals alike,” said Jorge Savloff, CEO of Blue Road. “From state-of-the-art coworking spaces to flexible living options, it reflects the needs of today’s dynamic, hybrid lifestyles. What truly sets the project apart is its location in North Miami Beach—a growing destination that offers the best of South Florida living, with proximity to Bal Harbour Shops, Aventura Mall, world-class beaches, and an overall sense of balance that appeals to both visitors and full-time residents.”

The project’s design was envisioned by Carlos Ott and realized by the project’s architect, Frankel Benayoun Architects Inc. Its common areas, residence interiors, and landscaping are curated by Urban Robot, the local, full-service design collective behind some of the city’s leading hotels and retail concepts, including W Hotel South Beach, the Gucci Flagship in Miami’s Design District, and Oasis Wynwood.

Nexo, meaning “nexus” in Spanish, is the brand’s ethos as a central point that links two or more things. Located at 13899 Biscayne Blvd., Nexo Residences is near a plethora of business and leisure offerings in Miami, Bal Harbour, Aventura, North Bay Village, Sunny Isles, Hollywood Beach, and beyond. The property is set along the main thoroughfare of Biscayne Boulevard, minutes from the Intracoastal, and is nearly equidistant to Miami International Airport and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, as well as being four miles away from the Brightline Aventura station.

Villa Miami Completes Concrete Pour On Landmark Waterfront Tower in Edgewater

Marking a significant milestone for one of Miami’s most anticipated residential towers, Villa Miami completed its concrete foundation pour on May 9. Moss Construction led the 14-hour pour that involved more than 3,400 cubic yards of concrete and 2,095 tons of steel to form the tower’s foundation, further accelerating momentum on the 650-foot waterfront landmark rising in Miami’s Edgewater neighborhood, on track for delivery in 2027. Construction on the tower is advancing swiftly with the concrete pour being completed four weeks ahead of schedule.

“The strength of today’s luxury market is defined by discernment as buyers are seeking more than just a home,” said David Martin, CEO of Terra. “The pace of progress at Villa Miami speaks volumes about the demand for a truly differentiated product and the strength of Miami’s real estate fundamentals. This milestone marks the beginning of a tower that will reshape the Edgewater skyline and redefine luxury living in Miami.”

The copper-clad, 56-story tower introduces a limited collection of just 70 half- and full-floor residences, offering a residential experience defined by world-class service, design and culinary excellence. Villa Miami is the first-ever residential tower branded by the globally celebrated Major Food Group and marks the inaugural collaboration between Miami legacy developer David Martin’s Terra and One Thousand Group.

“This concrete pour marks the moment Villa Miami shifts from vision to vertical reality,” said Kevin Venger, Co-Founder of One Thousand Group. “We’re building a legacy with a team that is pushing the boundaries of design and delivering at the highest standard, from the ground up.”

The pour recruited 43 concrete trucks, operating in a coordinated rotation throughout the day. Structural work is being led by Moss Construction, with architectural design spearheaded by ODP Architects under the leadership of Kurt Dannwolf. Villa Miami is distinguished by its striking copper-colored exoskeleton—an architectural statement conceived by ODP and engineered by global structural design firm DeSimone.

Located at 710 NE 29th Street, Villa Miami broke ground in December 2024 and secured a $285 million construction loan provided by TYKO Capital, a commercial real estate private equity and credit platform backed by Elliott Investment Management and led by Adi Chugh.

While construction continues, the project has already drawn significant buyer interest. With residences starting at $5.5 million and ranging from 3,000 to over 6,000 square feet, Villa Miami’s full- and half-floor homes cater to discerning buyers looking for estate-style residences in the sky with round-the-clock service and programming.

Villa Miami’s interiors are curated by Vicky Charles of Charles & Co., with landscaping by Enzo Enea. The tower’s private amenity suite, known as the Copper Club, spans multiple floors and is exclusively curated by Major Food Group to offer a high-touch, members-only experience.

The tower’s development team is behind some of Miami’s most iconic residential towers. Terra, led by David Martin, recently delivered Five Park Miami Beach and Mr. C Residences Coconut Grove. One Thousand Group’s portfolio includes the Zaha Hadid-designed One Thousand Museum tower and the firm recently acquired a nearby Edgewater site for a Kohn Pedersen Fox-designed project.
