Foundation Pour Completed for Aria Reserve North Tower
Exciting progress is being made on the highly anticipated Aria Reserve development in Miami! The foundation pour for the 62-story Aria Reserve North Tower was successfully completed, according to a recent social media post by shell contractor L&R Structural Corp. This marks a significant milestone in the construction of one of Miami’s most luxurious and ambitious residential projects.
The foundation pour comes just a few weeks after the Miami Building Department issued the master construction permit for the North Tower on June 11. Construction cranes were promptly installed following the permit issuance, allowing the project to progress smoothly. The twin towers of Aria Reserve, each rising 62 stories or 649 feet, are set to redefine Miami’s skyline.
Aria Reserve is a twin-tower development, with each tower standing tall at 62 stories. The South Tower, which topped off in April, is a testament to the speed and efficiency with which this project is moving forward. Together, the two towers will offer approximately 743 luxury condos, providing residents with stunning views and top-tier amenities in the heart of Miami.
The Aria Reserve project is being developed by the esteemed Melo Group, a name synonymous with quality and luxury in Miami’s real estate scene. The architectural design is being crafted by the renowned firm Arquitectonica, known for their innovative and iconic designs that grace skylines around the world.
With the foundation pour now complete, the construction of the Aria Reserve North Tower will continue to rise, bringing this ambitious project closer to its final form. As the towers inch closer to completion, Miami residents and future condo owners alike are eagerly awaiting the day when Aria Reserve will open its doors, offering an unparalleled living experience in one of the most vibrant cities in the world.
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.

501 First Residences Receives Construction Loan
Construction is moving forward at 501 First Residences with a new benchmark after developers receive a construction loan for $80.9 million.
This new 40-story tower with 448, will be developed by Aria Development Group and designed by Revuelta Architecture International, who also designed Wind and 900 Biscayne. 501 First Residences will be located at 501 Northeast 1st Avenue with views of downtown Miami and Biscayne Bay.
According to the Aria Development group, this particular development will be built to cater to the short-term rental market. The biggest perk is that there will be no rental restrictions. This means the resident can utilize any consumer platform (Vrbo, Expedia, Airbnb, etc.) to rent and each unit can be rented for 1 day or more.
The renderings reveal floor-to-ceiling windows and expansive balconies. The sleek structure is curved creating a horizontal and vertical grid-like design. The exact height of the development hasn’t been released but we can expect the 40-story high structure to be over 450 feet in height.
The loan of $80.924 million was arranged by Berkadia with the funding issued by Bank OZK with a floating 42-month interest-only loan.
On the property, demolition has already finished.
Although 501 First Residences is sold out, if you or someone you know has an interest in purchasing downtown Miami, please contact Lucas Lechuga via email at lucas@miamicondoinvestments.com or by phone at 786-247-6332.
