A joint venture between South Florida-based developers Merrimac Ventures and Aria Development Group is preparing to break ground on 600 Miami Worldcenter, a 32-story condominium tower set within Downtown Miami’s Miami Worldcenter 27-acre mixed-use development, which will deliver 606 fully furnished units with no restrictions on short-term rentals. The upcoming groundbreaking will be made possible with a $95 million construction loan from Banco Inbursa to fund the sold-out tower’s development at 600 Northeast 1st Avenue. Construction is expected to be completed in 2026.
The 31-story 600 Miami Worldcenter (600 MWC) has reached a significant development milestone, with the developers securing a utility agreement from Miami-Dade’s Water and Sewer Department. This agreement is essential for providing services to the building, marking notable progress in this pre-construction phase of the project. Designed by Revuelta Architecture International and featuring interiors by Designagency, the development is a joint venture between Aria Development and Merrimac Ventures under the 55 NE 6TH ACQUISITION LLC. The 327-foot-tall structure is set to rise at 600 Northeast 1st Avenue, bordered by Northeast 6th Street to the south and train tracks to the north. OneWorld Properties is exclusively managing sales and marketing for the project. Miami’s Urban Development Review Board recommended approval for 600 MWC in July.
Developers Related Group (Related) and Merrimac Ventures, in collaboration with Hilton, are excited to introduce their latest project: the Waldorf Astoria Residences Pompano Beach. Sitting on a two-acre oceanfront site at 1350 South Ocean Boulevard, this 28-story tower designed by KORA with Nichols Architects as the architect of record and landscape design by Enea Landscape Architecture will feature a total of 92 residential units, with interiors masterfully crafted by BAMO. With a beachfront cafe offering room service, a resident lounge, a pool deck complete with a jacuzzi and cabanas for poolside dining, comprehensive wellness facilities, and nearly two dozen boat slips, this new development is poised to contribute to South Florida’s ongoing growth. Nestled along the Atlantic Ocean, the Waldorf Astoria Residences Pompano Beach, known as The Residences, represents a notable milestone for the iconic Waldorf Astoria brand as it embarks on its inaugural venture into exclusively residential concepts. Furthermore, this project marks Waldorf Astoria’s grand entrance into Broward County, making it a highly anticipated addition to the region’s evolving real estate landscape.
