META Development Launches Colette Residences, a Boutique Luxury Address Redefining South Brickell Living

META Development, the Miami-based firm known for its “Go Boutique” philosophy, has officially launched sales for Colette Residences, a new boutique luxury condominium in South Brickell. Partnering with the Eklund | Gomes Team at Douglas Elliman Development Marketing, META introduces an intimate residential concept that blends architectural sophistication with a serene, neighborhood-centric lifestyle.

Located in South Brickell—an area increasingly recognized as Miami’s next luxury residential frontier—Colette offers a refined alternative to the district’s high-rise energy. The five-story development features just 38 residences, including two signature penthouses, designed for those who value privacy, connection, and design integrity. Residences range from two to four bedrooms starting at 2,145 square feet, with pricing beginning at $3.3 million.

Designed by acclaimed Brazilian architecture studio OSPA, the building reflects a human-centered design ethos that seamlessly integrates indoor and outdoor living. This marks OSPA’s Miami debut and builds on META’s track record of architecturally distinct projects such as OPUS Coconut Grove.

“Colette represents the next evolution of our philosophy, curating residences that feel personal, tailored, and refined,” said Andrew Rasken, Founder and CEO of META Development. “In a district known for its high-rise energy, Colette is intentionally exclusive—crafted for those who value a calmer, more connected way of living without compromising on design or amenities.”

As part of its commitment to community impact, META Development will donate $10,000 for every residence sold to Friendship Circle of Miami, a nonprofit supporting children and young adults with special needs.

Despite its intimate scale, Colette offers a robust amenity program rivaling larger-scale towers. Indoor amenities span approximately 5,000 square feet, complemented by 7,000 square feet of outdoor spaces designed for relaxation and entertaining. Highlights include:

• A 50-foot swimming pool with private cabanas

• A 5,200-square-foot sun deck

• A wellness spa with jacuzzi, sauna, and steam room

• A screening room, children’s playroom, and meeting suite

• 24/7 valet service and covered parking for two or three cars per residence, with EV charging stations

• Private storage units for each homeowner

“Miami buyers are increasingly seeking boutique-scale projects that combine privacy with sophistication,” said Fredrik Eklund, co-founder of the Eklund | Gomes Team. “Colette delivers exactly that—an intimate collection of residences in one of the city’s most dynamic neighborhoods, blending global design with the lifestyle today’s buyers demand.”

Situated minutes from Brickell’s business core yet set within a peaceful, park-filled enclave, Colette residents enjoy walkable access to waterfront promenades, fine dining, and cultural destinations, all while maintaining the tranquility of a low-rise community. “We’re seeing interest from buyers who’ve outgrown the hustle of Brickell’s high-rise district,” explained Sales Director Pietro Belmonte. “They still want proximity to the city’s restaurants and nightlife, but they crave a calmer, more livable environment with a neighborhood feel.”

The Colette Sales Gallery will open on November 12, 2025, at 3390 Mary Street, Suite #124, Coconut Grove, FL 33133. Visitors can experience an immersive virtual tour, scale model, and full-size model kitchen and bath to preview the building’s design vision and lifestyle offering. Completion is slated for summer 2028. Ownership inquiries are now being accepted. For more information, fill out the form below.

Newgard Group and Two Roads Secure $513 Million in Construction Financing for One Brickell Riverfront in Miami

Newgard Group and Two Roads Development closed on $513 million in construction financing for their One Brickell Riverfront project in Miami’s financial district, making it one of the largest residential construction loans in the South Florida market this year. The development includes LOFTY Brickell and The Standard Residences, Brickell condominium towers where construction is months ahead of schedule on the Miami River.

An undisclosed private lender provided $370 million in senior financing while 3650 Capital originated a $143 million mezzanine loan.

Located at 99 SW Seventh St. next to Brickell City Centre, the master-planned development features two high-rise condominium towers rising from a shared podium. LOFTY Brickell is a 44-story tower with 362 residences, while The Standard Residences, Brickell will stand 46 stories and include 422 residences.

Construction is more than halfway complete, with both towers expected to deliver months ahead of their targeted August 2027 completion. G.T. McDonald is the project’s general contractor.

“This financing reinforces the market’s confidence in the strength of our vision for One Brickell Riverfront,” said Harvey Hernandez, CEO of Newgard Group. “Together with Two Roads, we are creating a destination that combines world-class design, unmatched amenities, and the flexibility today’s buyers demand.”

Hernandez continued: “3650 Capital has been instrumental to the success of this extraordinary project, having supported us since the initial acquisition of the property. We are thrilled to continue to grow our relationship with the firm, who has helped finance several of our new condominium developments in the past.”

“Brickell is one of the most dynamic urban neighborhoods in the country, and this project reflects our shared commitment to delivering best-in-class residential experiences,” said Taylor Collins, Managing Partner of Two Roads Development. “Securing this loan is another important milestone as we move quickly toward topping off early next year.”

Newgard and Two Roads formed a strategic partnership in November 2024 to transform one of Brickell’s last undeveloped riverfront sites into a vibrant, integrated community.

“One Brickell Riverfront is poised to bring highly desirable luxury condominiums with two distinct concepts to Miami’s financial district,” said Jonathan Roth, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of 3650 Capital. “The successful closing of this transaction speaks to 3650’s local market expertise, special servicing function and ability to help our borrowers from site assemblage through construction and sellout—core tenets of our capabilities that enable us to generate strong investor returns. The sponsors have robust track records of developing high-end residential projects, and we’re pleased to have helped them navigate the complexities of the project, which we believe is situated in one of the most attractive locations in all of Florida.”

Designed by Arquitectonica, LOFTY Brickell features studios and one- and two-bedroom residences and penthouses furnished by INC. Its 40,000 square feet of amenities include a private marina, resort-style pool deck, fitness center, spa, cigar lounge and co-working spaces. The highly acclaimed New York City-based restaurant AVRA Estiatorio will open a location on LOFTY’s ground floor, providing owners and guests with an elevated Coastal Greek dining experience with waterfront views.

A limited number of penthouse residences remain available for sale with prices ranging from $2.4 to $3.5 million. The building has proven to be very attractive to individuals seeking a 5-star lifestyle in Miami’s urban core. Another strong attraction is LOFTY’s flexible ownership model allowing owners the ability to rent out their units on their own terms.

The Standard Residences, Brickell, designed by Arquitectonica with interiors by GOOD.RICH, offers 422 homes including studios, one-bedrooms and two-bedrooms. Prices start in the mid $600s.

Multi-level amenities include a rooftop pool with beverage and towel service, The Standard Club Lounge and Café, co-working spaces, and a 10th-floor spa with Hammam, saunas and a cold plunge. Additional offerings include a fitness center, bowling alley and lounge, pet spa and screening room, along with signature dining on the ninth floor and a riverfront restaurant at street level. Sales are being led by ONE Sotheby’s International Realty.

Constellation Group and The Boschetti Group Officially Open Cora Merrick Park Sales Gallery in Coral Gables

The new sales gallery for Cora Merrick Park – the first wellness-oriented residences in Coral Gables – is now officially open at 4200 Laguna Street in Coral Gables. On Tuesday, Sept. 30, developers Constellation Group and The Boschetti Group celebrated the grand opening of the gallery with Douglas Elliman Development Marketing, inaugurating the space and giving the community a sneak peek of the luxurious details and wellness features that make this project unique. Guests enjoyed live music, sipped adaptogenic cocktails and wellness elixirs, and participated in immersive demonstrations of red-light therapy panels and lymphatic compression treatments, curated by Centner Wellness. Inside the gallery, guests explored Cora’s signature finishes – natural stone, wood, and tile imported from Europe and around the world.

Designed by Arquitectonica with interiors by Urban Robot, Cora Merrick Park is delivering 74 refined residences priced from the $900,000s to over $4 million to Merrick Park – Coral Gables’ world-class shopping and dining destination. The project is directly across the street from Shops at Merrick Park, and walking distance to downtown Coral Gables and the Metrorail, and just minutes from Coconut Grove, University of Miami and Downtown Miami/Brickell.

“Cora Merrick Park is the first residential community in Coral Gables designed to integrate wellness into everyday living,” said Eduardo Otaola, Managing Principal at Constellation Group. “At the same time, it meets pent-up demand for new luxury product in Coral Gables. Cora offers a compelling alternative to the single-family home market in an irreplaceable location that delivers walkability, community, and the quality-of-life benefits that Coral Gables is known for – all in a finished turnkey-project with world-class amenities.”

Spanish wellness firm Lamarca Well, best known for creating the first wellness hub in Madrid, Spain, is overseeing Cora’s wellness programming. Key components include biophilic design, advanced air and water purification systems, noise-reducing acoustic design, non-toxic building and cleaning materials, a fitness center with a dedicated recovery area, and a spa with infrared sauna, steam room, contrast hydrotherapy (hot and cold) pools, and red-light therapy panels. Additional offerings include a resort-style roof deck pool, yoga and meditation area, lobby tearoom, and the first rooftop padel court in Coral Gables.

“At CORA Merrick Park, we believe wellness isn’t just about offering a product or service – it’s about delivering a lifestyle and creating environments that support lasting change,” said Mischka Capriles, Lamarca Well co-founder.

Lamarca and Arquitectonica will also oversee Cora’s enrollment in the International Well Building Institute (IWBI) WELL for residential program – an evidence-based, third-party certification aimed at creating healthier, more resilient homes.

Located at 4241 Aurora Street, Cora Merrick Park offers 13 unique floor plans, from one-bedrooms to expansive three-bedroom plus den residences. Each home has 10-foot ceilings, Italkraft kitchens, Sub-Zero/Wolf appliances, designer stone countertops, custom porcelain flooring, walk-in closets, and private, expansive lanais in select residences.

Cora offers a design-forward reinterpretation of the Spanish Mediterranean aesthetic through a modern, wellness-focused lens. Classic natural materials are used in novel ways to bring natural sophistication to interior spaces. Coralina stone and marble are paired with a dark stained oak – a nod to Coral Gables’ oak canopy – to create a moody, sexy color palette. Textured lime-wash walls and soft, organic stone forms – from the fluted marble lobby column to the rounded edges of the kitchen islands and bathroom vanities – foster calm and evoke a connection to nature. In the residences, a unique chevron-patterned, porcelain-tile floor from Spain’s Living Ceramics puts a contemporary spin on the classic design motif. Floor-to-ceiling windows usher in natural light to create a modern aesthetic rarely seen in the city.

Hospitality-inspired details, including a striking sculptural reception desk in the lobby and custom property fragrance, bring an added touch of European elegance. Outside, an original sculpture by celebrated Catalan visual artist Jaume Plensa anchors a lush 5,000-square-foot park, underscoring Cora’s seamless blend of art, architecture, and wellness.

Panelists shared firsthand experiences on what worked in past cycles, what no longer applies in 2025, and where they are seeing the greatest success right now. The discussion highlighted the importance of innovation in sales galleries, digital outreach, and broker partnerships, while also exploring how agents can enter development sales teams and what it means to succeed within one.

They emphasized that Miami is now delivering projects that compete on a world stage — in design, amenity packages, and construction quality — rivaling global hubs like New York, London, and Dubai. The discussion closed with each panelist sharing their vision for Miami’s next decade, painting a picture of a city whose skyline will continue to grow more ambitious, diverse, and internationally relevant.
