Single Buyer Acquires Four Residences For $15 Million at META Development's Colette Residences to Create Two Custom Duplex Townhomes

Four residences which will be combined into two duplex townhomes have sold for $15 million at Colette Residences, a boutique luxury condominium development in South Brickell being developed by META Development. The transaction marks one of the project's most significant sales to date and underscoring continued demand for highly customized, large-format residences in Miami's urban core.

Four residences which will be combined into two duplex townhomes have sold for $15 million at Colette Residences, a boutique luxury condominium development in South Brickell being developed by META Development. The transaction marks one of the project's most significant sales to date and underscoring continued demand for highly customized, large-format residences in Miami's urban core.

The transaction involved a single international buyer acquiring four residences totaling 9,029 square feet, which will be combined into two separate duplex townhouses. The residences traded for $1,661 per square foot and will occupy two full floors within the development, creating a uniquely scaled living experience rarely available in the Brickell market.

Represented by South Florida’s leading luxury residential sales team Eklund | Gomes and designed by renowned architecture and interior design firm OSPA, the future duplex townhouses reflect a growing preference among luxury buyers and investors for expansive, customizable residences that offer the privacy and exclusivity of a single-family home within a boutique condominium setting.

"This transaction speaks to the growing demand for larger, more personalized living environments within Miami's luxury residential market," said Andrew Rasken, CEO of META Development. "Today's buyers are looking beyond traditional condominium layouts and are increasingly seeking opportunities to create residences tailored to their individual lifestyles and long-term investment strategies. Colette was designed with that flexibility and level of exclusivity in mind."

Located in South Brickell, Colette Residences is a 38-residence boutique condominium, offering a refined alternative to larger high-rise developments. The project emphasizes privacy, connection to community, thoughtful design, and spacious floor plans, attracting buyers seeking a more intimate residential experience in one of Miami's most desirable neighborhoods.

"What makes this transaction so noteworthy is not just the $15 million price tag, but the buyer's vision," said Fredrik Eklund, Founder of Eklund | Gomes. "We're seeing sophisticated buyers move away from standardized luxury and toward residences that can be tailored to their exact needs. The ability to acquire four homes and create two expansive duplex townhouses in a boutique building like Colette is incredibly rare in Brickell, and it speaks to the project's unique appeal."

The assemblage further reinforces demand for boutique luxury developments that offer customization opportunities not typically found within larger condominium projects. With a limited collection of residences available, Colette continues to attract discerning domestic and international buyers seeking both lifestyle and investment opportunities in South Florida.

Construction activity at the project is expected to advance in the coming months as META Development moves forward with the next phase of development.

Located at 18401 Collins Avenue in Sunny Isles Beach, the development has now reached level 7 and continues to rise rapidly, progressing at a pace of approximately one floor every five to six working days.

Vertical construction is advancing at Bentley Residences Miami, the world’s first and only Bentley-branded residential tower, developed by Dezer Development, in collaboration with Bentley Motors. Located at 18401 Collins Avenue in Sunny Isles Beach, the development has now reached level 7 and continues to rise rapidly, progressing at a pace of approximately one floor every five to six working days. On track for completion in 2028, the 716-foot tower will rank among the tallest oceanfront buildings in the country and will feature 216 residences with amenities including the patented Dezervator car elevator, in-home sky garages, and an exclusive resident-only restaurant led by four-time James Beard award-winning celebrity chef Todd English.

Vertical construction at Bentley Residences also follows the project’s foundation pour led by Coastal Construction, which set the record for the largest residential construction pour in Florida and the second-largest foundation pour in the nation. The achievement underscored the scale and complexity of the development and paved the way for the 62-story tower’s ascent.

“Going vertical is a meaningful milestone for Bentley Residences Miami and a testament to the strength of our vision and execution,” said Gil Dezer, President of Dezer Development. “As the tower rises, we look forward to delivering a truly one-of-a-kind residential experience that reflects the innovation and craftsmanship synonymous with the Bentley brand, while further elevating Sunny Isles Beach as a premier global destination for luxury living.”

Designed by Sieger Suarez Architects in collaboration with Bentley Motors, Bentley Residences offers a luxury lifestyle tailored for the auto-lover and defined by expansive waterfront living, refined craftsmanship, and seamless indoor-outdoor design. Residences tout open-concept floorplans, floor-to-ceiling windows, and private terraces with summer kitchens, with unique features including outdoor showers, private pools on every balcony, and glass-ensconced private sky garages accessible by the building’s signature Dezervator. This patented automobile elevator seamlessly transports residents and their vehicles directly into the in-unit sky garages, redefining privacy and convenience.

Currently available at Bentley Residences are three-bedroom floor plans reflecting Bentley’s hallmark craftsmanship. Anchored by Bentley’s hallmark precision and attention to detail, kitchens are outfitted with state-of-the-art Miele appliances and Italian-designed cabinetry, each offering views directly into the three- to four-car in-home sky garages. Primary bathrooms feature spa-like finishes with soaking tubs, custom vanities, and private sauna rooms. Available inventory begins at $5.8M.

The collection of amenities at Bentley Residences elevates the branded living experience. Four time James Beard Award-winning chef Todd English will debut Proper English by Todd English, his first residents-only restaurant, offering breakfast, lunch, dinner, and in-residence dining from an oceanfront setting within the condo tower. Residents will also have intimate access to English via private events and exclusive cooking demonstrations. The restaurant will be complemented by 20,000 square feet of resort-style spaces that reflect Bentley’s commitment to sophistication and refined comfort. Residents will enjoy exclusive access to a five-star pet spa, whiskey bar, cigar lounge, cinema, spa, oceanfront beauty salon, and state-of-the-art fitness center, along with a lushly landscaped beach club and pool deck with cabanas and food and beverage service.

From Tivoli to the Apuan Alps, Allen Morris Company Defines a New Standard in Design Provenance at Ponce Park Coral Gables

The Allen Morris Company, has unveiled the interior design program for Ponce Park, advancing a design approach rooted in material provenance, craftsmanship, and architectural intention. Rather than sourcing finishes through traditional catalogs, the development team traveled to Italy to personally select the stone that will define the project, establishing a direct connection between Ponce Park and the historic quarries from which its materials originate.

The Allen Morris Company, has unveiled the interior design program for Ponce Park, advancing a design approach rooted in material provenance, craftsmanship, and architectural intention. Rather than sourcing finishes through traditional catalogs, the development team traveled to Italy to personally select the stone that will define the project, establishing a direct connection between Ponce Park and the historic quarries from which its materials originate.

Spanning Tivoli and the Apuan Alps, the journey reflects a focus on origin and authenticity, with each material chosen at its source. This process reinforces a design language shaped not only by aesthetics, but by lineage, craft, and permanence.

“Going to the quarries fundamentally changes the way you design,” said W. A. Spencer Morris, President of The Allen Morris Co. “You’re not selecting from samples, you’re understanding the material in its original context, its history, its variation. That level of engagement allows us to be incredibly precise in how Ponce Park comes together. Every stone we chose has a purpose.”

In Tivoli, just outside Rome, the team sourced travertine from a quarry with more than 2,000 years of history, the same source used in the construction of the Colosseum. This stone will cover the exterior base of Ponce Park and appear throughout key architectural moments, introducing warmth, texture, and permanence to the building’s foundation.

In the Apuan Alps, the team selected Calacatta Borghini marble, one of the rarest stones in the world, for the kitchen countertops within the residences. Defined by its luminous white background and bold veining, each slab was hand-selected directly from the quarry, reinforcing the uniqueness of every residence. The same mountain range has supplied marble for works by Michelangelo, reflecting a continuous lineage of craftsmanship that informs architecture today.

Together, these materials establish the foundation of Ponce Park’s design identity, where origin and execution remain inseparable.

The interiors, designed by Meyer Davis, extend this material-driven approach through a warm interpretation of Mediterranean modernism. The vision prioritizes continuity across spaces, balancing stone, wood, bronze, plaster, and natural textiles to create a cohesive residential atmosphere.

The lobby introduces a residential-scale environment anchored by custom seating, travertine and oak detailing, and sculptural lighting in bronze and Murano glass. Layered textiles and soft neutral tones create warmth, while filtered natural light shapes the experience.

Wellness spaces emphasize calm and restraint, with spa, sauna, and hammam areas defined by natural stone, oak, plaster, and soft ambient lighting. The fitness areas focus on openness and clarity, combining refined materials with functional design.

At the rooftop, the project transitions into an indoor-outdoor living environment, where teak, travertine, rope, and soft upholstery define lounge and dining spaces, creating a layered social landscape above Coral Gables.

“Ponce Park was designed to feel deeply connected to Coral Gables, not just in architecture, but in how it lives and feels,” added W. A. Spencer Morris. “The interiors bring a level of detail and warmth that make every space feel residential and lasting.”

According to Meyer Davis, the intent was to create continuity across all amenity levels while allowing each space to retain its own identity. “We approached Ponce Park as a sequence of lived-in moments,” the studio noted. “Every finish, material, and piece of furniture was selected to create comfort and texture throughout the building.”

Through this focus on material provenance and restraint in execution, Ponce Park positions itself within Coral Gables as a project defined by discipline rather than scale.

Located at 3000 Ponce de Leon Blvd., Ponce Park is an 11-story mixed-use development introducing 58 residences and 25,000 square feet of curated retail. Designed by Zyscovich Architects with interiors by Meyer Davis, the project is currently under construction with completion anticipated in late 2027.

Sales are exclusively handled by ONE Sotheby’s International Realty, with residences starting at $3.1 million.

Quarried in Italy. Crafted in Coral Gables. Ponce Park establishes a design of language grounded in origin, material, and intent.

“We’re delivering Parkside in about 24 months, an accelerated timeline for this market,” said Helen Vargas, a member of the Parkside sales team. “We also have one of the lowest price-per-square-foot opportunities in Brickell. All units are delivered furnished, and we’re covering management fees for the first two years, providing strong value and flexibility for buyers and investors.”

Construction on Parkside Residences officially commenced in April 2026, with completion anticipated for Q2 2028.

Constellation Group and The Boschetti Group announced the successful closing of a $67.5 million construction loan for Cora Merrick Park, a boutique residential condominium centered on wellness in Coral Gables. Located at 4241 Aurora Street in the heart of the exclusive Merrick Park neighborhood, Cora will deliver 74 thoughtfully designed residences that reflect a modern, wellness-oriented approach to living.

Located in one of Coral Gables’ most supply-constrained neighborhoods, the 74-residence project is designed to offer a more private, wellness-oriented residential experience within walking distance of premier shopping, dining and office destinations

Lender BHI provided the financing, which was arranged by a Berkadia Miami team led by Scott Wadler and Matt Nihan.

“This is an important milestone for CORA Merrick Park and the larger Coral Gables community” said Eduardo Otaola, Principal at Constellation Group. “Securing financing from BHI, a well-respected regional lender, is a strong validation of both the market opportunity and the differentiated vision behind Cora Merrick Park. In today’s financing environment, lender support at this level reflects confidence not only in the project itself, but also in the long-term strength of the Coral Gables market. With construction now underway, we believe Cora represents one of the most compelling new residential offerings in Coral Gables and a distinctive long-term addition to the neighborhood.”

With financing secured and construction underway, Cora Merrick Park continues to gain momentum as one of the few boutique condominium developments in Coral Gables actively under construction

Scott Wadler of Berkadia added, “In today’s more selective lending environment, capital is gravitating toward best-in-class sponsorship, irreplaceable locations and projects that clearly differentiate themselves – and Cora Merrick Park checks every box.”

Construction on Cora Merrick Park began in April and is expected to be completed in 2028.

Priced from the $900,000s to over $4 million for penthouse residences, Cora Merrick Park is designed by acclaimed architecture firm Arquitectonica with interiors by Urban Robot. The project is among the first condos in Miami seeking certification through the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI) WELL for residential program, an evidence-based, third-party certification aimed at creating healthier, more resilient homes.

With wellness programming overseen by Spanish wellness firm Lamarca Well – known for creating Madrid’s first wellness hub – amenities and operations at Cora Merrick Park are centered on biohacking and longevity, featuring advanced air and water purification systems, noise-reducing acoustic design, non-toxic building and cleaning materials, a fitness center with a dedicated recovery zone, and a spa with infrared sauna, steam room, contrast hydrotherapy pools and red-light therapy panels.

Residents will also enjoy a resort-style rooftop pool deck, yoga and meditation area, lobby tearoom and the first rooftop padel court in Coral Gables. Outside, an original sculpture by celebrated Catalan artist Jaume Plensa anchors a lush 5,000-square-foot park that the developer is donating to the City.

Cora Merrick Park offers 13 unique floor plans ranging from one-bedroom residences to expansive three-bedroom-plus-den penthouse homes. Residences feature 10-foot ceilings, Italkraft kitchens, Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, designer stone countertops, custom porcelain flooring and spacious walk-in closets. Select residences also include expansive private lanais.

The project is directly across from Shops at Merrick Park and within walking distance of downtown Coral Gables and the Metrorail, providing convenient access to Coconut Grove, the University of Miami and Downtown Miami/Brickell. It is also located one block from 4225 Ponce, the recently completed Class A, boutique office building anchored by wealth management firm UBS, also developed by Constellation Group and The Boschetti Group.

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.

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.”

North Development Pays Off $70 Million Construction Loan at Domus Brickell Park

North Development has officially paid off its $70 million loan for Domus Brickell Park, marking a major financial milestone for the recently opened Brickell development and reinforcing the company’s strong execution across construction, sales, closings and operations.

North Development has officially paid off its $70 million loan for Domus Brickell Park, marking a major financial milestone for the recently opened Brickell development and reinforcing the company’s strong execution across construction, sales, closings and operations. The payoff, completed in April 2026, follows the project’s on-time, on-budget completion and strong momentum since closings began. Within the first 60 days alone, Domus Brickell Park recorded 120 closings, underscoring continued buyer demand for North Development’s flexible ownership model, which combines fully furnished residences, hospitality-driven services and short-term rental flexibility.

“This accomplishment speaks to the strength of our team and the discipline behind the entire development process,” said Ricardo Dunin, Founding Partner of North Development. “Paying off the loan so quickly after opening is not just a financial achievement, it reflects the level of coordination, planning and execution that went into every phase of the project, and the strong market response we are now seeing from owners and guests.”

The loan payoff coincides with continued operational momentum at Domus Brickell Park following its recent opening. Since welcoming owners and guests, the property has already received many five-star reviews, reinforcing the strength of the guest experience and the demand for a fully managed residential model that offers both personal use and rent-generating potential. Forman Capital, the project’s main lender, recognized North Development’s execution throughout the development process, citing the team’s professionalism, preparedness, proactive communication and ability to navigate both senior and junior debt structures through full repayment.

“North Development managed the process with clarity and discipline from start to finish,” said Hellois Scheeres, Chief Risk Officer at Forman Capital. “Their ability to meet construction milestones, communicate proactively and ultimately deliver full repayment speaks to the strength of the organization and the caliber of its execution.”

Located in the heart of Brickell, Domus Brickell Park is a fully operational hotel and condominium offering furnished residences that owners can enjoy personally or place into the property’s short-term rental program. Through the Domus App, owners can manage their residence, access services and transition their unit into the hotel inventory when they are away, creating a flexible lifestyle experience for owners while supporting a consistent guest experience. Daily operations are managed by North Management, North Development’s in-house hospitality and property management platform, overseeing everything from service and maintenance to guest relations across the property. The building also features a curated amenity collection, including a rooftop pool deck, fitness center, steam room, garden lounge, co-working spaces and a 4,200-square-foot lobby anchored by Ludlow Coffee Supply, and the Ludlow bar further establishing Domus Brickell Park as a hospitality-driven destination in one of Miami’s most dynamic urban neighborhoods.

The success of Domus Brickell Park comes as North Development continues to advance its second Brickell project, Domus Brickell Center. The project is already more than 50% sold and ahead of its construction schedule, reflecting continued confidence in the Domus model and sustained demand for flexible, fully furnished residences in Miami’s urban core.

A limited selection of units remain, with prices beginning at $600K with Cervera Real Estate exclusively leading sales.
