In the burgeoning North Miami Beach area, Nexo Residences emerges as a vanguard in the condo market, now offering an exclusive suite of seven townhomes, each embodying luxury, spaciousness, and the unique opportunity for short-term leasing. With prices commencing at $1.23 million, these turnkey residences combine the investment potential of a short-term rental with the privacy and scale of a personal home, thanks to the strategic partnership between Fortune International Group and Blue Road.
The townhomes are strategically nested within the building’s podium along Highland Drive, at 13899 Biscayne Boulevard, providing three and four-bedroom configurations that span 1,547 to 2,094 square feet. Ownership includes the flexibility of seasonal rentals for a minimum of three months, up to thrice annually, positioning these townhomes as a high-demand asset for hedge fund managers looking to diversify their portfolios with passive income streams through home sharing.
Edgardo Defortuna, Fortune International Group’s CEO, spotlights the scarcity of spacious three and four-bedroom condos in the current market, especially those offering seasonal rental flexibility. He emphasizes the added value of Nexo Residences’ townhomes that afford privacy akin to a standalone house paired with the convenience of upscale, on-site amenities.
Crafted by Frankel Benayoun Architects Inc with contributions from the esteemed Carlos Ott, and interior and landscape designs by the distinguished Urban Robot, the townhomes feature gated terraces with summer kitchens, soaring ceilings, and digital enhancements such as keyless entry systems for optimal security and ease.
Beyond the townhomes, Nexo Residences boasts 254 condominium units with varying rental terms, complemented by amenities that include a grand two-story lobby, a tech hub with coworking spaces, a fitness center with a yoga studio, and a luxury pool deck, all designed to meet the high standards of convenience and luxury sought by investors and tenants alike.
The location offers unrivaled access to Miami’s commercial and recreational hubs, with close proximity to two international airports and premier shopping and outdoor spaces, underscoring its appeal to families and seasonal visitors. Jorge Savloff of Blue Road highlights the townhomes’ potential, drawing attention to their unique offering in the short-term rental space, especially in a locality that has lacked such sophisticated rental products.
Nexo Residences Breaks Ground in North Miami Beach
In the heart of North Miami Beach, Fortune International Group, in partnership with Blue Road, has embarked on a groundbreaking venture: the Nexo Residences. This 15-story luxury condominium project, located at 13899 Biscayne Boulevard, is poised to redefine urban living with its innovative home-sharing capabilities.
The architectural brilliance of Frankel Benayoun Architects Inc., combined with insights from the globally acclaimed architect Carlos Ott, has shaped the design of Nexo Residences. Furthermore, the interiors, common areas, and landscaping have been meticulously crafted by Urban Robot. The development boasts 254 fully furnished residences, allowing homeowners unparalleled autonomy in their property’s utilization. These residences range from cozy studios to expansive four-bedroom townhomes, with sizes varying from 531 to 2,190 interior square feet. With prices commencing from the mid $600s, this project offers a diverse portfolio for potential investors.
Edgardo Defortuna, the CEO of Fortune International Group, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “Nexo Residences has garnered significant attention from global buyers and investors. Its strategic location, coupled with top-tier amenities and the unique opportunity for homeowners to lease their units, aligns perfectly with Fortune’s vision of pioneering projects that consistently exceed expectations through innovation and meticulous attention to detail.”
The name “Nexo,” translating to “nexus” in Spanish, encapsulates the essence of this project. It serves as a pivotal junction, bridging crucial elements and making it an attractive proposition for short-term renters in this burgeoning submarket. The rental flexibility, complemented by a professional management team overseeing operations, enhances its appeal for potential investors.
Jorge Savloff, CEO of Blue Road, highlighted the strategic advantage of the location, emphasizing its proximity to iconic South Florida attractions like the Bal Harbour Shops, Aventura Mall, and a plethora of upscale dining and entertainment venues. He added, “Nexo Residences offers a more family-centric alternative to the bustling tourist hubs of Miami, ensuring a comprehensive and enriching experience for all.”
The amenities at Nexo Residences resonate with the South Florida vacation spirit, catering to both work and leisure. Features include a grand three-story arrival lobby, a state-of-the-art tech hub with coworking spaces, a lavish pool deck, fitness facilities, and a rooftop observatory deck offering panoramic southern vistas. Additionally, entertainment options abound with an outdoor cinema, a versatile clubroom, and a dedicated children’s play area.
An added allure for international investors is the property’s EB-5 designation. This provides a golden opportunity for foreign nationals to embark on the path to U.S. citizenship by investing a minimum of $800,000 in Nexo Residences and adhering to the stipulations set by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
Strategically positioned, Nexo Residences offers proximity to business and leisure hubs like Bal Harbour, Aventura, and Sunny Isles. Its location on Biscayne Boulevard, near the Intracoastal Waterway, and equidistant from major airports, further accentuates its appeal for global investors.
Nexo Residences presents a compelling investment narrative blending luxury, flexibility, and strategic location into a package that promises significant returns.

Casa Tua Announced in Brickell by Fortune International Group
In Miami’s Brickell district, Fortune International Group is developing Casa Tua, an opulent residential skyscraper that will allow short-term rentals.
According to Fortune CEO Edgardo Defortuna, Ora by Casa Tua, a 70-story development with roughly 460 residential units, is proposed for the 1210 Brickell Avenue site. Early in the next year, Fortune will start accepting reservations.
The skyscraper will be the company’s first residential development. According to insiders, Miky and Leti Grendene’s hospitality business has been in discussions with developers for a long time. The Food Hall on Saks Fifth Avenue in Brickell City Centre and the Casa Tua main location are both in Miami Beach. Additionally, a Casa Tua Cucina restaurant will open in Miami’s Wynwood’s planned Nomad Wynwood Residences development.
Two new restaurant concepts, a 24-hour market, entertainment lounge, fitness, and wellness center, a three-story sky garden, and a rooftop club with a pool, jacuzzi, cabanas, and a bar will all be included in the mixed-use Brickell tower. The hotel management and marketing will be handled by Casa Tua.
According to Defortuna, the condos will have sizes ranging from 600 square feet for studios to 2,400 square feet for four bedrooms, with prices between $800,000 and $2.5 million. Defortuna predicts that a sizeable fraction of owners will profit from the option for buyers to rent out the apartments on a short-term basis. The lowest two-thirds of the skyscraper will feature between eight and ten units per floor, while the upper third of the tower will have fewer, larger units with an average of six units on each level.
The building is geared toward a younger clientele and offers a wine-tasting bar, a 24-hour grocery and bakery, a restaurant near the pool, and an equipped lobby.
Depending on sales milestones, he said, construction may start in late 2023 or early 2024.
According to property records, the property is owned by Patagonian Investment Internacional LLC, which is run by Argentine investors Federico Carabetta and Vicente Luis Carabetta. Next year, Fortune will close the location and destroy the parking garage to make way for Ora by Casa Tua. The garage is close to the office building at 1200 Brickell Avenue, which still houses the Dirty French Steakhouse owned by Major Food Group.
Casa Tua has outlets outside of Miami in Aspen and Paris and will establish a restaurant and lounge in New York City in Surrey, a Reuben Brothers venture, the following year.
Fortune International Group and Blue Road Group Announces Nexo Residences in North Miami Beach
Nexo Residences, a 254-unit condo building with no short-term rental limitations in North Miami Beach, has been launched by Fortune International Group and Blue Road.
The proposed site is located at 13899 Biscayne Blvd., with Blue Road of Bay Harbor Islands and Fortune of Miami having a deal with Aventura-based Tomaja LLC for the 1.74-acre site. Currently on this site is a 36,661-square-foot office structure, built-in 1958, which would be removed.
Nexo Residences, according to the developers, will be the first condo in North Miami Beach to allow short-term rentals. Some investors choose short-term rentals as a method to supplement their revenue by offering properties on home-sharing services like Airbnb.
According to the President and CEO of Fortune, Edgardo Defortuna, “Nexo Residences will serve as the premier short-term rental offering in North Miami Beach, an area that has been underserved in the hotel and rental products; most projects of this kind concentrate in downtown Miami and Brickell.”
The Nexo’s 15-story units would vary from 525-square-foot studios to 2,190-square-foot townhouses pricing beginning in the $400,000s.

The Mighty Jade Signature, Set to Top Off in October, is the Focus of Our Latest Drone Video
Construction Fortune International Group’s Jade Signature, designed by famed Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron, is approaching the tower’s full height, as we get closer to the building’s slated October topping off. So, what better time than now to go flying, up with the birds and the penthouse-dwellers, with our latest drone video shoot?
Jade Signature is almost completely sold out, with only a handful of 3-5 bedroom units remaining, along with duplex ‘sky villas’ up on higher floors, and two full-floor penthouses, including the gigantic upper penthouse, which is also a duplex to boot. A sky villa will run you at least $14.2 million. Opt for the lower penthouse and you’ll quickly fork over $22.32 million, while the big kahuna, top of the top upper penthouse is commanding a whopping $32.9 million asking price. Feeling (comparatively) poor after those posh prices? A remaining ‘regular’ unit, with 3-5 bedrooms, down below, starts at $3.9 million.
