Miami-based developer Fortune International Group has acquired a 46,373-square-foot site at 1210 Brickell Ave in Brickell and secured a $36,080,000 pre-development loan for ORA by Casa Tua. The loan, provided by Amerant Bank, marks a significant step forward in development. The developer purchased the site from Miami-based Patagonian Investment Internacional LLC and is now set to prepare the site for construction, with groundbreaking expected to begin in 2025.

Through its innovative design and concept, the project aims to reflect Miami’s vibrant and evolving spirit and establish itself as a prime destination. The development will also include approximately 25,000 square feet dedicated to Casa Tua’s four new restaurant concepts and creative workspaces with private office spaces, conference rooms, content creation rooms, bar lounges, and outdoor seating.
