Coffee Break, located on the second level, offers fresh-pressed juices, croissants, pies, empanadas, and artisanal coffee.

Zeru is Now Open in Brickell Miami

The Mediterranean-Basque cuisine that has made Zeru famous in Mexico City has now open its first overseas location in Miami’s Brickell.

Zeru is located on the bottom floor of the Hotel AKA Brickell, and the location allows guests up to a 200-seat indoor/outdoor capacity with a modern design and a 20-seat bar.

Founder of Zeru, Israel Aretxiga states, “We will maintain Zeru’s essence and its signature interpretation of Basque and Mediterranean food, but we’ll also welcome the excellent ingredients and products that Miami has to offer and, in some ways, adapt to the local gastronomic culture.”

According to Aretxiga, Zeru’s cuisine is based on the century-old roasters in the Basque Country of Getaria, Orio, and San Sebastián, a method he describes as “as ancestral as the origin of gastronomy, with inspiration from the variety of foodstuffs from the Mediterranean coast of Spain.”

Seafood, as well as healthier and lighter options, will be extensively emphasized on Zeru’s menu. Highlights include the mojo octopus, grilled fresh clams with grilled lemon and espelette miso, and socarrat mellow rice saffron with seafood.

In 2009, The Zeru Group opened its first eatery in México City’s southern region. Since then, Gentleman Mexico magazine has given the restaurant an award for creativity in food.

Zeru is open daily from 12:30pm to 3pm and 6pm to 11pm.

Urban Network Capital Group Unveils the Luxury Condo Hotel-Visions at Brickell Station

Visions at Brickell New Construction

‘Visions at Brickell Station,’ a luxury condo-hotel aimed at elevated luxury or business visitors searching for an enhanced experience, has been unveiled by Urban Network Capital Group (UNCG).

After the nearly sold-out Visions Orlando Spa & Resort, which is a 354-unit luxury vacation hotel community set to commence development soon, Visions at Brickell Station is the second Visions project for UNCG. Visions is a recently introduced brand by UNCG, with the company’s first such developments taking place in Orlando and now Miami.

The recently finished assemblage, which cost a total of $8,500,000 to purchase, comprises of three Miami-area parcels at 1120, 1130, and 1136 SW 3rd Avenue. Around 70 new properties in the single-family and multifamily markets have been developed by UNCG, with deals worth over $2 billion successfully completed.

Visions at Brickell Station is a boutique condo/hotel complex with 111 residences ranging from studios to one-bedroom units, with no rental limitations, and is situated in the center of the city at 1120 SW 3rd Avenue. Owners can engage in a professionally run Hotel Program or rent it out through a booking platform of their choice.

A wide range of people are drawn to the distinctive, modern architecture created by DTI Architects, and UNCG can choose from a variety of price points, starting at $299,448 for a 321-square-foot studio, $413,124 for a 451-square-foot junior suite, and $501,960 for a 539-square-foot one-bedroom unit.

The eight-story skyscraper will provide spectacular style, intimacy, exclusivity, and a wide range of wellness-focused amenities that meet residents’ every need once it is finished in 2025. A state-of-the-art gym with interactive gym equipment, rooftop Infinity pool and terrace, on-site restaurant with food and beverage service, front desk check-in, laundry services, and a bike-share program are just a few of the distinctive features that improve the experience of being an owner at Visions at Brickell Station.

Keyless electronic entry, floor-to-ceiling windows with panoramic views of Miami’s famous skyline, a ceramic tile floor that looks like wood, quartz countertops, custom Italian cabinetry, and 75″ Smart TVs are just a few of the luxurious amenities found in each tastefully furnished designer residence. Visions at Brickell Station were designed by UNCG with in-unit wellness-focused luxuries such as advanced HVAC systems offering purified air and probiotic eco-sanitizing diffusion, nontoxic wall coverings, filtered water, aromatherapeutic diffusers, Vitamin C diffusion therapy showers, and lighting to relax and balance the mind. UNCG specializes in building communities that are both eco-friendly and wellness-certified.

Together with other private investors, the project is backed by V&V Investments, a Peruvian company. With more than 25 years of experience, V&V is the top real estate development company.

North Development Launches Condo-Hotel Brand-Domus Brickell Park

Leave a reply
Domus Brickell Park Exterior

North Development is launching a ground-breaking new condo-hotel that is poised to revolutionize the hospitality sector in Miami’s Brickell neighborhood, Domus Brickell Park. Ricardo Dunin, CEO of Oak Capital and Edifica are partnering on this project creating the North Development group.

With 171 fully equipped condo-hotel suites Domus will rise 12 stories tall and will be located in the vibrant Brickell neighborhood at 1611 SW 2nd Avenue. The superbly designed studio, one, and two-bedroom units, with sizes ranging from 330 to 979 square feet and costs ranging from $400,000 to $900,000, were created by Zyscovich Architects with interiors by Urban Robot.

Owners will pay far less in fees without sacrificing the integrity of the high-end hospitality concept by getting rid of the developer’s ownership of the common areas while still providing professional management for the individual units. The project’s prohibition against yearly occupancy for periods longer than six months and one day gives it another competitive edge. Although still enabling out-of-towners to enjoy their units while in Miami, this minimizes the natural friction between long-term residents and the transient rental market.

Before arriving, guests can check in online and get the entry code for their unit on their phone. By giving the building a chance to get acquainted with the visitors beforehand, this not only provides convenience but also boosts building security. Only owners and visitors can enter the units because the access key is needed to utilize the elevator. There will also be a visitor call center open around-the-clock.

The Peacock Room is located in the expansive lobby at the center of the structure. This area offers a full range of food and drink options throughout the day, including a market, fine wine, specialty brewed beer, and gourmet coffee. It has mellow music, high-speed internet, and co-working spaces that will draw both locals and visitors. Domus Brickell Park has a wellness area with modern fitness equipment, a steam room, and other amenities. Also, there is a rooftop pool deck with cabanas, a hot tub, a grilling area, and an entertainment space.

North Development has a long-term interest in utilizing the Domus brand in other areas, and the building is anticipated to open in late 2025.
The sales center is located at 1200 Brickell Avenue, Miami.

Plans for 78-Story Tower in Brickell Goes to FAA for Height Permit

Leave a reply
New Developed Proposed in Brickell

The 78-story mixed-use tower 18, also known as 18 At 8th, which was launched back in 2017, has big intentions that Karam Group and Claro Development have revived. This building would stand tall at 954 feet above mean sea level and replace an existing single-story strip mall at the southwest corner of South Miami Avenue and Southwest 8th Street in Brickell.

Recent filings of building permits with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) confirm the development toward making this lofty ambition a reality. The skyscraper will provide a total of 923,000 square feet of space, including 392 residential units, 66,618 square feet of retail space, and 464 parking spaces, thanks to Miami’s Urban Development Review Board’s prior approval. This tower is expected to be a landmark in Miami’s skyline thanks to the skilled architects of Nichols Architects, formerly NBWW Architects.

The property is owned by City Center Prop LLC, a company connected to Simon and Antoine Karam and their real estate investment group, the Karam Group. They have had possession of the property since January 2006.

The tower’s architectural renderings, which show a highly curved and constantly shifting framework, first surfaced towards the end of 2016 or the beginning of 2017. Standing only 30 feet short of meeting the supertall requirements, the skyscraper appears to be a stunning and exciting addition to the skyline.

The tower has a distinctive structure that begins with a firm foundation and spreads as it grows taller. The apartments get bigger and provide more magnificent views as the building gets taller. The balconies are positioned to emphasize the tower’s growth, create the appearance of a continuously expanding structure, and provide access to the surrounding landscape. As a result, the tower has a genuinely organic shape that seems to open and embrace the scenery as it soars to the sky.

The base of the tower has a slope snaking around the outside of it, giving the impression that the podium is collapsing beneath the weight of the tall building. Vertical fins create dramatic shadows on the glass facade of the base, which houses parking spaces and four floors of retail space, highlighting this alluring design aspect.

New Development Proposed at Brickell Key

Brickell Key Miami

Swire Properties submitted a request to the Federal Aviation Administration in late December in order to bring the supertall development to Brickell Key, a posh residential island outside of Miami’s financial sector.

According to the designs, there will be two towers: one rising 700 feet and the other rising 1,049 feet, making it a supertall skyscraper. At the southernmost point of the enclave, at Brickell Key Park, both would be situated.

The vacant land at the southern end of Brickell Key, which the firm claimed was being kept for development or sale, is owned entirely by Swire Properties, according to the company’s 2021 annual report.

Although Swire’s precise plans for the property are yet unknown, the park is zoned for residential use. Additional to the development’s height, no other information regarding it is included in the application.

The 2.4-acre park was purchased by the Miami-based developer in 1997. There is currently no developer listed on the FAA filing.
