Aria Reserve Announces Ground Breaking
Aria Reserve Miami

Miami’s skyline is set for a stunning addition as Melo Group achieves a significant milestone in its Aria Reserve development. The much-anticipated South Tower has reached its pinnacle at an impressive 62 stories, marking a pivotal moment in the project’s journey.

The South Tower’s topping off signifies not only a remarkable architectural achievement but also a testament to the efficiency and dedication of the Melo Group. However, this is only half of the narrative; the North Tower, currently under construction, is poised to match its counterpart’s height upon completion.

What’s truly remarkable is the pace at which Aria Reserve is progressing. Despite the ambitious scale of the project, both towers are on track to be fully completed within an unprecedented three-year timeframe from groundbreaking. Such efficiency speaks volumes about Melo Group’s commitment to delivering exceptional quality without compromising on speed.

Excitement mounts as the project gears up for its first deliveries within the next year. For those eagerly awaiting the opportunity to call Aria Reserve home, the wait is almost over.

The buzz surrounding Aria Reserve is not without merit. With over 95% of the South Tower already sold and the North Tower not far behind at 85%, it’s evident that this development has struck a chord with discerning buyers. The decision to lower the deposit requirement to 20% further reflects Melo Group’s responsiveness to market dynamics and its commitment to making luxury living accessible.

As Aria Reserve continues to captivate the real estate landscape, speculation abounds about future projects under the Aria brand. Martin Melo, Co-Principal of Melo Group, hints at the possibility, affirming Aria’s success as a luxury brand and signaling long-term plans for its expansion. With such promising beginnings, the future looks bright for Aria’s legacy.

As the South Tower proudly stands tall, overlooking Miami’s vibrant skyline, it’s a testament not only to Melo Group’s prowess as developers but also to the enduring appeal of Aria Reserve. With milestones surpassed and records broken, the journey towards redefining luxury living in Miami continues, promising an exciting future for residents and investors alike.

Aria Development and Merrimac Ventures Buy Miami Worldcenter Site for $17.5 Million for Proposed Condo Building

After purchasing a redevelopment site for $17.5 million, Aria Development Group and Merrimac Ventures have proposed a new Miami Worldcenter condominium building.

According to records, the joint venture paid the labor union $11 million to take over the former Miami headquarters of the International Longshoremen’s Association at 33-55 Northwest Sixth Street. According to a press statement, Aria and Merrimac also paid $6.5 million to acquire a neighboring unoccupied 1.2-acre site from a partner of Miami Worldcenter developers Art Falcone and Nitin Motwani.

The project calls for a 32-story skyscraper with about 600 fully furnished residential units with no limitations on short-term rentals with pricing starting at $395,000.

The final construction plot that was up for grabs in the Miami Worldcenter district was purchased by Fort Lauderdale-based Merrimac, led by Nitin and Dev Motwani, and Miami-based Aria, led by principal David Arditi, according to Mattingly.

Merrimac and The Related Group partnered earlier this year to pay $12 million for another Miami Worldcenter development plot at 601 North Miami Avenue, The Crosby, a 33-story, 450-unit condo tower that will also be accommodating to short-term rentals.

Miami Worldcenter, a $4 billion master-planned mixed-use city, is luring titans of the real estate sector to make investments in the area. For a property at 697 North Miami Avenue that was previously permitted for a 40-story, 429-unit skyscraper, a business connected to WeWork co-founder Adam Neumann received $108 million in construction financing in February. Neumann also owns the Caoba apartment complex, which is a nearby residence.

A.5-acre development site on Northwest 10th Street and North Miami Avenue was purchased by San Antonio-based Lynd Living in August for $30 million. Although a 650-unit apartment building is permitted on the plot, Lynd hasn’t made its official plans public.

One acre at 1016 Northeast Second Avenue, where the New York-based developer intends to construct a two-tower residential complex, was purchased by Naftali Group for $40.5 million a month later.
