Miami’s development momentum shows no signs of slowing down as national developer PMG secures $413 million in construction financing for One Twenty Brickell Residences, a high-profile dual-tower project planned for the heart of Brickell. The financing package, provided by an Ares Real Estate fund and Monarch Alternative Capital, will support all aspects of the development—including luxury condominiums, rental residences, retail, and structured parking.

This latest deal marks a continued collaboration between PMG and its capital partners, who previously joined forces on a financing package for a separate PMG development in Wynwood. Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL), along with PMG’s Capital Markets team, helped structure and secure the financing. PMG is targeting an early May groundbreaking, with delivery scheduled for 2028.

“Obtaining this financing stands as an incredible feat at a time when current market conditions are making development of multifamily towers challenging,” said PMG’s Andrew Warman, who helped lead the transaction.

One Twenty Brickell Residences will consist of two architecturally distinct towers designed by Sieger Suarez Architects, with interiors by Cotofana Designs. The first tower, rising 37 stories, will include 266 fully finished condos—each with a deeded office suite, a unique offering aimed at today’s work-from-anywhere buyer. The second tower, rising 41 stories, will be operated by Sentral and feature 537 rental apartments ranging from studios to three-bedrooms, all outfitted with high-end finishes, smart home tech, and custom Italkraft cabinetry.

PMG reports that the condominium tower is already over 91% sold, a sign of strong market appetite for luxury residences in this key Miami submarket. “Its swift sales success is a testament to the tremendous team at PMG Residential,” noted Dan Kaplan, Managing Partner at PMG.

The project also boasts an impressive amenity package. Residents will enjoy over 100,000 square feet of shared and exclusive offerings, including concierge service, fitness studios, co-working lounges, a juice bar, pickleball court, spa and treatment rooms, and an infinity-edge pool—catering to both social lifestyles and wellness-focused living.

Representatives from both financing firms expressed confidence in the project’s positioning. Ares’ Bryan Donohoe noted that the firm was “pleased to further build on our relationship with PMG,” while Monarch’s Joshua Acheatel said they were “excited to continue [their] relationship with a best-in-class developer.”

PMG’s legal team, along with leading attorneys from Kramer Levin, Saul Ewing, Bilzin Sumberg, and Greenberg, Trager & Herbst, managed the legal structuring of the deal.

Backed by a portfolio that includes E11EVEN® Hotel & Residences, Waldorf Astoria Hotel & Residences Miami, and 111 West 57th Street in NYC, PMG continues to solidify its reputation as a dominant force in the luxury residential market. With One Twenty Brickell Residences, the developer further affirms its commitment to forward-thinking urban development and lifestyle design in Miami’s most desirable neighborhoods.

The campus includes Wynwood Plaza Residences, a high-end rental community featuring 509 luxury apartments, along with 45,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor amenities.

Clara Homes, the renowned real estate development firm founded by James Curnin, has just secured a $7.7 million residential development site at 2601 NW 6th Avenue, spanning an impressive 17,000 square feet. This prime location in Wynwood will soon transform into a 154-residence luxury rental building, designed by the renowned architect Kobi Karp.

Clara Homes is embracing the Live Local Act by allocating at least 40% of the residences for affordable housing, ensuring that a diverse range of residents can enjoy the Wynwood lifestyle. Rising to approximately 200 feet, this luxury rental building promises to offer an unparalleled living experience.

The acquisition of this prime Wynwood site at $450 per square foot is a game-changer.

This strategic purchase was made as a cap rate play, with attractive below-market seller financing at 5% and a sale leaseback agreement for at least a year to a year and a half.

James Curnin, the CEO and Founder of Clara Homes, is excited about the venture. He stated, “Wynwood is one of the hottest Miami markets to invest in and only continues to increase in value as new cultural, dining, and art institutions open in the neighborhood. When presented with the rare opportunity to acquire the land at such an attractive rate, we jumped at the chance to create a new rental experience in this rapidly growing part of town.”

While the project is still in the planning stages, the luxury rental building is poised to offer a comprehensive suite of premium amenities and sophisticated touches. Residents can look forward to 24-hour doormen, valet service, dedicated ground floor retail spaces, and a unique feature that’s bound to make waves – Miami’s first rooftop padel court, catering to the city’s growing interest in this global racquet sport sensation. Construction is expected to commence within the next 12-15 months and will take approximately 18 months to complete.
