Taurus Investment Holdings and The Congress Group Switch Civica Development from Office to Residential
The focus of Civica’s plans is shifting from offices to residences in recently updated plans for the development. In the previous plans, the development was set to rise 22 stories tall with a height change to 27 stories or 310 feet.
The changes also include 342 residential units, luxury amenities, commercial and office space, and an 8-level garage with 590 parking spaces.
The property is located five minutes walk from the Civic Center Metrorail station. The land sits right behind the 836 Expressway, which is being reconstructed as part of the Signature Bridge project.
Currently on the site is a three-story shopping center with 74,463 square feet, as well as a 4,768 square-foot bank branch. While the tower is being constructed, both of those buildings would still be present, albeit their parking spaces would be moved to the new parking garage for the complex.
The Miami Urban Development Review Board is scheduled to examine the project at a hearing on December 21. The architect for the project is listed as Cube 3 and the developers include Boston-based, Taurus Investment Holdings, and The Congress Group. The developer purchased the site for a combined $30.5 million in 2020.

Westpine Brickell LLC is listed as the developer and Behar Font Partners as the architect. Westpine Brickell LLC, an affiliate of Westpine partners originally purchased the site for $11.53 million.
Instead of being referred to the City of Miami for review under city zoning regulations, the project was submitted to the Miami-Dade County Planners for review under their Rapid Transit Zoning Metromover Subzone.
On December 9, a pre-application meeting with county planners was sought.
Brickell, also known as the Financial District of Miami, is home to a large number of international banks such as HSBC, Espirito Santo Bank, and Banco Santander.
These Brickell Miami banks are predominantly located along Brickell Avenue – the main thoroughfare running through Brickell Miami and extending north to south from the Brickell Avenue Bridge to the Rickenbacker Causeway.
Brickell Miami is considered to be one of South Florida’s most prestigious neighborhoods and is a perennial favorite place to live among affluent, young professionals.
Miami Worldcenter Completes Construction on 255,000 Square Feet of Retail Space
The Miami Worldcenter’s “Jewel Box,” which has a contemporary design and is enclosed in floor-to-ceiling glass, is situated at the intersection of the 7th Street Promenade and World Paseo open-air retail pedestrian streets, directly west of the development’s upcoming CitizenM boutique hotel and north of the finished luxury apartment tower Bezel Miami.
Approximately 255,000 square feet of retail space have now been finished at Miami Worldcenter with the completion of F-East as tenants actively finish out their spaces.
Another 80,000 square feet of lifestyle-focused retail space has been constructed by Miami Worldcenter’s developers. Block F-East, a standalone structure that is part of the $4 billion mixed-use complex in the center of Downtown Miami, is one of the last retail components of the 27-acre project to be completed.
Sephora, lululemon, Savage x Fenty, Ray-Ban, Posman Books, and Lucid Motors are among the impressive list of recently opened and upcoming tenants at Miami Worldcenter. Other dining and entertainment options include Bowlero, Sports & Social, Michelin-starred Chef Michael Beltran’s Brasserie Laurel, El Vecino, and Chicago’s Maple & Ash and Etta restaurants.
The 300,000 square feet of retail, restaurant, and entertainment space at Miami Worldcenter, one of the largest private urban real estate developments in Florida, will be complemented by a variety of residential, business, and hospitality applications.
Miami Worldcenter Associates, directed by Principal Art Falcone and Managing Partner Nitin Motwani, and CIM Group are the project’s master developers.
Three finished residential towers—the PARAMOUNT Miami Worldcenter, Caoba, and Bezel Miami—can now be found in Miami Worldcenter. The 351-room CitizenM hotel is now finished with construction and is scheduled to debut at Miami Worldcenter in the first quarter of 2023.
In addition, work is being done on phase one of the 52-story Miami World Towers, which will include 550 apartment units, Legacy Hotel & Residences, a mixed-use building with 310 branded residences atop a hotel and 50,000 square feet of medical office space, and Caoba’s second phase, which will include a nearby 40-story tower with 420 apartments.
There are several planned projects, including The Crosby, a 450-unit turn-key condominium by Related Group and Merrimac Ventures, and 600 Miami Worldcenter, a 579-unit fully furnished condominium by Aria Development Group and Merrimac Ventures, a mixed-use residential and commercial development by Abbhi Capital, a residential development by the New York-based Naftali Group, and a three-tower mixed-use project by The Witkoff Group that will have up to 2,000
World Square, a 20,000-square-foot outdoor public plaza and park, will complement Miami Worldcenter’s shopping streets. With its abundance of open space, shade trees, and spacious, pedestrian-friendly sidewalks lined with food, entertainment, and retail concepts, World Square is intended to act as the hub of the development.
A $5 million public art project at Miami Worldcenter, organized by the Miami-based curatorial collective PRIMARY and renowned art dealer Jeffrey Deitch, would turn the 27-acre “city within a citystreets “‘s and buildings into a permanent outdoor art museum. Large-scale murals, paintings, and sculptures produced by internationally renowned artists such as Nina Chanel Abney, Woody De Othello, Viktor El-Saieh, Nick Cave, Trenton Doyle Hancock, Hernan Bas, Serge Toussaint, Zadok Ben-David, and Franz Ackermann will be included in the program once it is finished.
Ten city blocks make up Miami Worldcenter, which is next to Museum Park, which is home to the Frost Museum of Science and Pérez Art Museum Miami, as well as the FTX Arena, Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts, and Wolfson Campus of Miami Dade College. Miami Worldcenter is the largest and best-connected transit-oriented development in Florida thanks to its proximity to Brightline’s MiamiCentral station, which provides direct train service to Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, and Orlando and access to Tri-Rail, the Metromover, and the Metrorail.
Location Ventures Breaks Ground on URBIN Miami Beach
URBIN Miami Beach has officially broken ground. With developer Location Ventures, the achievement signifies the start of construction for the first-to-market mixed-use brand, which mixes design-forward residential units for short- or long-term rental with coworking spaces, wellness amenities, social activations, and lifestyle-oriented retail, all at one central address.
For the official groundbreaking event, which took place at the project site, 1260 Washington Ave., Location Ventures, development partners, and city representatives, Miami Beach Commissioner Alex Fernandez, Washington Avenue Business Development Executive Director Troy Wright, and Miami Beach Mayor Dan Gelber were among the distinguished visitors.
The URBIN brand portfolio’s initial property, URBIN Miami Beach, has a second location in Coconut Grove, with ambitions to expand to other U.S. cities. Once completed, URBIN Miami Beach will be a 69-unit tower with a number of wonderful amenities.
The development sold out quickly and drew a wide range of buyers from Latin America and Europe. 90% of the homes at URBIN Coconut Grove have already been sold, and construction is scheduled to begin at that location in 2023.
The fully furnished units at URBIN Miami Beach range in size from 275 square feet for studios to 1,334 square feet for four bedrooms with partial ocean views. Community, collaboration, and networking will be facilitated via shared spaces, such as a common kitchen, dining area, and living room. Exclusive access to a lease-back arrangement allowing up to 90 nights per year on the property will be available to unit owners only.

Rishi Kapoor, CEO of Location Ventures, stated “Following enormous sales interest, we are pleased to commence the construction process for the first URBIN location at a ripe point in Miami Beach’s history.” The rapidly developing, storied Washington Avenue sector will benefit from this property’s integration of living, working, and wellness into one space.
Touzet Studio, headed by Carlos Prio-Touzet and Jacqueline Gonzalez-Touzet, created URBIN Miami Beach. The building’s exterior will reflect the whimsical spirit of Miami Beach by incorporating geometric patterns and hues that are common to the area and paying homage to its Art Deco past.
The interiors of its communal areas and amenities were chosen by Meyer Davis, a renowned New York City design firm. The home is located in the largest Art Deco neighborhood in the world, two blocks from the ocean, and close to Ocean Drive and Lincoln Road.
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.
Aria Development Plans 105 Unit Development in South Brickell-2200 Brickell
