Tower 91/Cassi Breaks Ground Soon in Miami Design District with Residential Units, Retail & Dining

Miami’s Building Department has officially approved a site work permit for Tower 91—also known as Cassi—marking a key step forward for a highly anticipated mixed-use development in the Miami Design District. The approval clears the way for initial work to begin on the site, located at 91-93 NE 36 Street, just east of Biscayne Boulevard.

Tower 91/Cassi is being developed by Design District Associates and Prinz Corner LLC, affiliated entities of renowned Miami developer DACRA. Craig Robins, CEO of DACRA, intends to break ground on a new rental apartment development in the area within a few months. Though unnamed in the interview, the project aligns with Tower 91’s timeline and design scope.

According to a recently finalized utilities deal and city filings, Tower 91/Cassi will include:

• 107 residential units

• 15,981 square feet of retail space

• 6,849 square feet of full-service restaurant space

• 227 parking spaces

Elkus Manfredi Architects is leading the design, with Cube3 serving as the architect of record. Together, the firms aim to deliver a vibrant, modern development that complements the upscale and design-forward character of the surrounding district.

While the city continues to review the master construction and phased vertical permits, the newly approved site work permit signals that visible progress is imminent. Once completed, Tower 91 is expected to further activate this key corridor of Miami’s Design District with a dynamic mix of residential, retail, and dining options.

Villa Miami Hits Construction Milestone as 56-Story Tower Moves Toward Vertical Build

Construction at Villa Miami, a highly anticipated 56-story waterfront residential tower, has officially reached a major milestone with the successful completion of its concrete foundation pour. Rising at 710 Northeast 29th Street in Miami’s vibrant Edgewater neighborhood, the 650-foot-tall luxury skyscraper is now poised to begin vertical construction, propelling it toward its 2027 completion date.

Developed by Terra and One Thousand Group in collaboration with Major Food Group, Villa Miami is set to become one of the tallest and most architecturally distinctive towers along the Biscayne Bay shoreline. The building is being designed by ODP Architecture & Design, with DeSimone Consulting Engineers serving as structural engineer. Moss Construction is the general contractor, while Capform Inc. leads the shell construction efforts.

On May 9, a meticulously coordinated, 14-hour foundation pour marked a major engineering feat. The operation included over 3,400 cubic yards of concrete and 2,095 tons of steel, supported by 43 rotating concrete trucks. C&C Concrete Pumping and Supermix played key roles in ensuring continuous concrete delivery, while aerial photos captured the scale and complexity of the effort. Tower cranes, staging zones, and floodlit work areas showcased the high-level coordination required to execute such a significant pour—completed four weeks ahead of schedule.

The structure’s unique copper-clad façade and luxury branding powered by Major Food Group will make Villa Miami one of the most iconic residential offerings in Edgewater, blending design-forward living with waterfront serenity and world-class amenities.

2900 Terrace Breaks Ground in Edgewater as Plans Progress for 38-Story Tower

Miami’s Building Department has officially issued a site work permit for the 2900 Terrace project in Edgewater, marking a key milestone for the anticipated luxury rental development. The permit, granted to Coastal Construction, signals the start of physical work on the site located at 2900 NE 2nd Avenue.

This is the second permit approved for the property, following a tree removal permit that was issued on April 30. While groundwork begins, a master construction permit for the project’s primary tower remains under review. That process has been underway since April 2024.

Once approved, 2900 Terrace will rise 38 stories and bring 324 oversized apartment residences to the growing Edgewater neighborhood. Designed with spacious living in mind, units will feature large walk-in closets and great rooms, with most floor plans also offering a dedicated study or den.

In addition to the residential component, plans call for 8,000 square feet of full-service restaurant space and 8,000 square feet of retail, reinforcing the project’s mixed-use appeal. Over 500 parking spaces are also planned.

The development is being led by Oak Row Equities and LNDMRK, both known for their forward-thinking contributions to Miami’s urban landscape. As site work begins, all eyes are on the progress of the main tower permit as the next step in bringing 2900 Terrace to life.

Luxury Living Meets Artful Design at NoMad Residences Wynwood as Construction Progresses

Construction is moving steadily forward at NoMad Residences Wynwood, the highly anticipated nine-story condominium project located at 2700 Northwest 2nd Avenue in Miami’s Wynwood Arts District. The latest progress includes near-complete exterior work, bringing the structure closer to the aesthetic vision originally presented in architectural renderings. The project is especially notable as it marks the first-ever residential concept by the globally recognized NoMad Hotels brand.

Developed by Related Group in collaboration with Tricap, the building was designed by acclaimed architecture firm Arquitectonica, with interiors curated by DesignAgency and lush landscaping from Naturalficial. Once complete, the project will deliver 329 fully furnished residences—from studios to two-bedroom floorplans—designed to embody the artistic, boutique-hospitality sensibility that defines the NoMad name.

Recent aerial images from Beauchamp Construction showcase the building’s striking façade, which now reflects the original design vision. The primary frontage along NW 27th Street features a sleek, flat façade with a bold interplay of white and black stucco, balanced by gray accents that line balcony interiors and add texture and contrast. The rear façade, facing NW 27th Terrace, is composed of recessed bay volumes that enhance depth and introduce a play of shadow and light across the structure.

Soft curved design motifs can be seen throughout, helping to soften the building’s boxy silhouette and adding a refined sculptural character. Bronze-toned vertical trim elements are being applied, offering a rich, metallic contrast against the neutral palette. Meanwhile, GM&P Consulting and Glazing Contractors, Inc. is finalizing balcony glass rail installations.

The building’s engineering was overseen by Johnson, Avedano, Lopez, Rodriguez & Walewski Engineering Group, Inc., with JGR Construction, Inc. managing the shell construction phase.

At street level, progress is also visible along NW 2nd Avenue and NW 27th Street, where storefront framing and sidewalk reconstruction are currently underway. NoMad Residences Wynwood will offer an impressive array of lifestyle amenities, including a rooftop restaurant and bar, resort-style pool, and curated artwork from the Jorge M. Pérez Collection—all carefully crafted to mirror the creative energy of the surrounding neighborhood.

With a projected delivery in Q4 2025, sales remain robust: over 80% of residences are already under contract. This success speaks to the sustained appetite for branded luxury residences in one of Miami’s most walkable, culturally vibrant districts. As the exterior work nears completion and interiors begin to take shape, NoMad Residences Wynwood is well on its way to becoming a standout address in the Miami residential market.

Aire Residences Boutique Brings Exclusive New Condos to Bay Harbor Islands as Original Project Sells Out

ABH Developer Group, the Miami-based firm led by Alexis Bogomolni and Valentín Martínez Carbonell of Maca Group, continues to leave its mark on Bay Harbor Islands with two major milestones: the near sellout of the acclaimed Aire Residences and the official launch of its next venture, Aire Residences Boutique.

Aire Residences, a luxury waterfront development nestled in the heart of Bay Harbor Islands, is nearly sold out, with only one residence remaining. The final unit—a full-floor, 6,431-square-foot home—offers a sprawling 3,000-square-foot private terrace and a 32-foot marina dock, delivering an unmatched blend of privacy, space, and direct canal access. It’s a rare opportunity in one of South Florida’s most desirable enclaves.

The developers credit the strong market reception to their original vision. “Everything has unfolded exactly as we envisioned from the beginning,” said the ABH team, reflecting on the project’s momentum.

This success comes as demand for low-density, thoughtfully designed developments continues to shape the post-pandemic landscape. In response, ABH is doubling down on boutique-scale projects, unveiling Aire Residences Boutique, a refined new offering just blocks from the original Aire site.

Located at 9950 East Bay Harbor Drive, Aire Residences Boutique will feature just eight luxury units in three- and four-bedroom layouts starting at 1,400 square feet. Prices begin at $1.8 million, and over 60% of residences are already under contract—an impressive feat considering the project is nine months from groundbreaking.

While not directly on the water, the site’s walkability to top schools, fine dining, and the famed Bal Harbour Shops makes it a compelling choice for buyers seeking lifestyle over scale. “Luxury buyers in South Florida aren’t just chasing penthouses—they want homes that offer the feel of a private residence in the sky,” said Martínez Carbonell.

A key element of the Aire brand is delivering high-end living without the excessive maintenance fees often tied to luxury condominiums. This approach, shaped by Martínez Carbonell’s vision for more sustainable, intelligent luxury, has resonated with today’s buyers who are rethinking long-term value and livability.

Beyond Bay Harbor, ABH Developer Group is also making major moves in Wynwood Norte, where it holds the largest land position in the area and is actively planning more than 1,500 residential units. The firm’s commitment to transformative urban development positions it as a long-term player in reshaping Miami’s future.

With Aire Residences Boutique, ABH reinforces its dedication to elegant design, smart layouts, and efficiency—hallmarks of a new wave of boutique luxury that continues to elevate South Florida’s residential experience.

The Perigon Miami Beach Completes First Concrete Pour, Progresses Toward 2027 Debut

A major milestone has been achieved at The Perigon Miami Beach, an ultra-luxury residential tower taking shape at 5333 Collins Avenue in Miami Beach’s coveted Mid-Beach neighborhood. The development recently completed its first hydrostatic concrete slab pour—an essential foundation step in the project’s progress. The operation lasted nine hours and required 520 cubic yards of concrete, 60 tons of reinforcing steel, and 60 truckloads of material.

Spearheaded by Mast Capital in collaboration with Starwood Capital, The Perigon is being built by Moss Construction, with C&C Concrete Pumping, Cemex, and Malcom Drilling contributing to its early-stage construction efforts. Completion is expected in 2027.

The Perigon is the first residential project in Miami Beach designed by OMA, the globally acclaimed firm led by Rem Koolhaas. The tower’s sculptural, diamond-inspired form and curving glass façade stand out as a futuristic addition to the Mid-Beach coastline. Interior design is by Tara Bernerd & Partners, bringing a refined yet contemporary aesthetic to the residences and amenity spaces.

Once completed, The Perigon will house just 73 luxury residences, each offering panoramic views stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to Biscayne Bay and the Miami skyline. The two-acre oceanfront site will also feature nearly 40,000 square feet of world-class amenities that blend indoor sophistication with outdoor tranquility.

Residents of The Perigon can expect a hospitality-driven lifestyle with resort-style amenities, including:

• Oceanfront swimming pool with private cabanas

• Grand double-height lobby

• Spa with treatment rooms and sauna

• Fitness center with ocean views

• Wine and screening rooms

• Children’s playroom and guest suites

Adding to its allure is a private beachfront restaurant and hidden speakeasy created by Michelin-starred chef Shaun Hergatt, who will oversee food and beverage service throughout the property.

Comprehensive services such as 24-hour security, valet, concierge, residential butlers, and in-residence dining will elevate the ownership experience. As construction continues, The Perigon is poised to become one of Miami Beach’s most exclusive and design-forward residential addresses.

Massive 80-Story Tower Planned for Brickell by Prosper Group and Forte Development

Prosper Group and Forte Development are moving forward with plans for a striking 80-story mixed-use tower in Brickell, designed by Miami-based ODP Architects. Recently submitted through Miami-Dade County’s Rapid Transit Zone (RTZ) program, the proposal would bring an impressive 945-foot-tall development to 1040 South Miami Avenue—just steps from the Brickell Metromover station.

The tower is expected to deliver a total of 250 condominium units, 48 condo-hotel residences, and 100 hotel rooms, along with 322 parking spaces and nearly 1,900 square feet of restaurant space. The development will also include a robust lineup of wellness-focused amenities such as IV therapy, cold plunge pools, red light therapy, and infrared saunas—positioning the project at the forefront of luxury urban living.

The project is being developed by 1040 S Miami Development LLC, an entity formed by Jay Roberts of Prosper Group and Marius Fortelni of Forte Development. The developers say the building will help shape Brickell’s next chapter, combining high-rise residential, hospitality, and retail in a walkable, transit-oriented setting.

The 0.6-acre site was previously designated for a Virgin Hotel, but the revised plan embraces a more dynamic, multi-use approach. Thanks to its RTZ classification, the project bypasses traditional City of Miami zoning regulations, allowing for a faster entitlement path.

While no official construction timeline has been released, the proposed tower signals continued momentum in Brickell’s high-rise boom—and a bold new addition to Miami’s evolving skyline.

$25M Loan Fuels Launch of Continuum Club & Residences in North Bay Village

Continuum Company, a prominent real estate development firm with offices in New York City and Miami, has closed on a $25 million pre-development loan to advance the Continuum Club & Residences, a planned 32-story luxury condominium tower rising at 1755 John F. Kennedy Causeway in North Bay Village, Florida. The financing, provided by Benmark Capital—a vertically integrated real estate private equity and debt investment firm—marks a major milestone for the highly anticipated waterfront project, which has already secured contracts for 50% of its 198 luxury units.

The loan will be used to support site preparation and pre-construction activities, enabling Continuum to maintain momentum as the North Bay Village area undergoes a major revitalization. Developed in partnership with Aksoy Holdings, the project is Continuum Company’s second Miami venture, following its iconic Continuum South Beach.

Joe Moser, Director at Benmark Capital, added, “Continuum Club & Residences is exceptionally well-positioned to benefit from the significant investment and infrastructure improvements underway in North Bay Village. We are proud to play a role in bringing this transformative project to fruition and to continue expanding our footprint in the Miami market.”

Designed by renowned architecture firm Arquitectonica, with interiors by Durukan Design and landscape architecture by Martha Schwartz Partners, the development will offer over 60,000 square feet of lifestyle amenities. Planned features include multiple resort-style pools, a waterfront fitness center and spa, curated dining venues, a private marina, and an extensive suite of wellness-focused services. The project officially broke ground in March 2025, with completion targeted for early 2028.

“Securing this pre-development loan from Benmark Capital is a testament to the strength of our vision for Continuum Club & Residences and the confidence in our team’s ability to deliver exceptional value,” said Ian Bruce Eichner, Chairman and CEO of Continuum Company. “The tremendous support from our financial partners underscores the unprecedented demand for luxury waterfront living in Miami’s emerging neighborhoods. This financing will enable us to maintain our momentum as we transform North Bay Village into Miami’s next premier destination.”

As development accelerates, Continuum Club & Residences is poised to redefine luxury living in North Bay Village, offering a rare combination of prime waterfront access, elevated design, and exclusive lifestyle offerings in one of Miami’s most dynamic growth corridors.
