Construction Update: Casa Bella Residences & Miami’s Signature Bridge
Miami’s skyline continues to evolve, and two notable projects currently under construction are Casa Bella Residences and the massive Signature Bridge. Casa Bella Residences, a luxury condo tower rising in the Arts & Entertainment District, is on track for delivery by June 2026. With its refined design and central location, Casa Bella Residences adds a sophisticated new option to Miami’s evolving residential landscape.
A block south of the tower is the Signature Bridge, a sweeping infrastructure project now projected to cost $866 million. Once complete, it will serve as both a functional highway connector and a bold new architectural landmark for Miami. With an expected completion date of late 2029, the bridge has generated both excitement and criticism—praised for its visual impact, yet scrutinized for delays and escalating costs.
Together, these two projects offer a striking visual of Miami’s ongoing transformation. Drone photos captured from above and below provide a rare look at the current state of both sites, showcasing the scale, ambition, and complexity of what’s taking shape.
An Exclusive Look at Casa Bella Residences: New Construction in the Heart of Miami
As Miami’s skyline continues to evolve, Casa Bella Residences by B&B Italia is quickly emerging as one of the most compelling new construction opportunities in the city. Set in the heart of the Arts & Entertainment District, Casa Bella Residences is being developed by Related Group and Alta Developers, two names synonymous with excellence in Miami real estate. The 56‑story tower was envisioned by Arquitectonica and features interiors curated by Piero Lissoni in partnership with B&B Italia, blending timeless Italian design with Miami’s contemporary skyline.
Casa Bella will be home to 317 meticulously designed residences, all positioned to capture sweeping views of Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. Delivery is projected for June 2026, making it one of the few new construction projects in Greater Downtown Miami with a near-term completion date — an ideal fit for buyers who don’t want to wait several years to move in.
Recently, I had the opportunity to tour the project during construction and capture exclusive footage from the 44th floor, offering a rare preview of the sweeping views residents will enjoy. In the video below, I’m joined by VP of Sales Daniela Gutierrez, who shares insights into the building’s layout, floor plan design, ceiling heights, and deposit structure. Notably, all standard residences feature 10-foot-high ceilings, with 11-foot-high ceilings in the Cielo Collection, and 24-foot double-height ceilings in the upper penthouses.
Pricing for remaining inventory:
1-bedrooms from $1.25M
2-bedrooms from $1.55M
3-bedrooms from $1.75M
Penthouses from $4.6M
Casa Bella requires a 30% deposit with the balance due at closing (estimated June 2026). With limited inventory remaining and high buyer interest expected as we approach the busy winter season, now is an opportune time to explore this exceptional offering in Miami’s luxury condo market.

Casa Bella by B&B Italia One Step Closer to Breaking Ground
Casa Bella Residences by B&B Italia is a new construction luxury condo tower located in the Art & Entertainment District of Downtown Miami, Florida.
One of the newest pre-construction projects that will soon be a part of the Miami skyline is Casa Bella Residences Miami. Progress on the project is moving forward, including permits being submitted and new renderings being released.
On June 23, the developers submitted the demolition permit for the development. The current 3-story structure features 249,978 square feet which would be completely demolished. This building was mostly used for office purposes. The estimated cost for this demolition would be approximately $800,000.
The demolition work is being done by The BG Group.
In coordination with the filing for demolition permits, developers have also started converting reservations into contracts with more than 60% of the units already reserved.
Casa Bella will feature 3 towers and 2 will rise 57 stories while 1 will rise 50. The first tower will feature 300 luxury units although 1,430 residential units have been approved for the site. The towers will have 1,629 parking spaces and will be connected by a podium.
Tower 1 at Casa Bella will feature 1 to 5-bedroom floor plans with only 6 units per floor. Interiors will be designed by Pierro Lissoni with landscape architecture by Enzo Ena. The double-height lobby will also be designed by Lissoni and will feature a mixture of sophistication and modern designs with a permanent collection of museum-quality art located throughout.
