Galderma to Establish U.S. Headquarters in Miami’s Brickell District
In a major boost to South Florida’s growing reputation as a life sciences and healthcare hub, Switzerland-based Galderma has announced plans to establish its U.S. headquarters in Miami’s Brickell neighborhood. The global dermatology-focused pharmaceutical company revealed that it will base approximately 150 employees—many in key U.S. leadership positions—at the new office by 2028.
The decision underscores Miami’s emergence as a strategic location for global healthcare and aesthetics companies. The U.S. remains Galderma’s largest market, and the Miami metro area is known to have one of the country’s highest concentrations of dermatological aesthetic clinics and medical spas.
“Miami’s creativity, energy and forward-thinking spirit are consistent with Galderma’s ambitions,” said Flemming Ørnskov, CEO of Galderma. “The city’s emergence as a premium destination and a trend-setter in areas closely aligned to our activities, as well as its fast-growing healthcare professional community, makes Miami a natural choice for our U.S. headquarters. Being in Miami will enrich our business with top talent that will prove invaluable to our future success.”
Galderma’s move adds to the momentum transforming Brickell into a magnet for global corporate headquarters. With a lifestyle that blends business, innovation, and wellness, Miami continues to attract major players from across the financial, tech, and healthcare sectors.
New Development Opportunity in Brickell: Habitat Group Affiliate Acquires Prime Site for $7.5M
A new real estate venture is in motion in Brickell, where an affiliate of Habitat Group has acquired a high-profile property from a Swire Properties affiliate for $7.5 million. The buyer, Abitaro Living LLC, is led by Santiago Vanegas and is exploring innovative development strategies aligned with the company’s shared property ownership model, Abitaro.
The acquisition marks a significant step forward for Habitat Group, known for its focus on urban infill development. The site’s flexible zoning potential opens the door to two distinct development scenarios, both offering a mix of residential and hospitality offerings.

Alternatively, should the project move forward under the City of Miami’s zoning code, the plan would shift to:
Both scenarios align with Brickell’s continued growth as a vibrant, mixed-use district attracting residents and visitors alike. With Abitaro’s focus on flexible ownership models and Habitat Group’s development expertise, the project is poised to contribute to the evolving fabric of Miami’s urban core.
Further details, including timelines and architectural plans, are expected to be announced as the project advances through the planning phase.
