Construction is now underway at Cassia, a 12-story condominium at 4011 Salzedo Avenue in Coral Gables’ Merrick Park District. Developed by Alta Developers, the project will introduce 174 fully furnished residences, with Behar Font & Partners as the design architect and IDDI overseeing interiors.
Residences at Cassia will range from 662 to 1,461 square feet, offering one-, two-, and three-bedroom layouts. Each unit will be fully furnished by RH and feature European appliances and Italian cabinetry by Italkraft. Prices start at $700,000, with Cervera Real Estate handling sales.
Cassia will feature a range of amenities, including a front desk reception, executive lounge, and business center, along with a fitness studio and wellness center offering a treatment room, steam room, dry sauna, and indoor pool. The outdoor amenities will include a pool deck with barbecues and lounge areas.
Located steps from Merrick Park, residents will have direct access to luxury retail and dining, with brands such as Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Gucci, and Tiffany & Co. The area also offers fitness and wellness establishments such as Equinox, SoulCycle, and Elemis Spa.
“Today marks an exciting milestone for our team. We are beyond excited to see construction begin to take shape,” said Raimundo Onetto, Principal and CEO of Alta Developers. “Cassia will bring a new level of sophistication and convenience to Coral Gables, and we look forward to seeing our vision evolve and come to life. At only 12 stories tall, we expect a fairly quick construction timeline.”
“Cassia offers a truly unmatched combination of location, luxury, lifestyle, and flexibility. Just steps from the vibrant Shops at Merrick Park and minutes from Coral Gables’ top schools, cultural attractions, and renowned dining, it provides the ideal setting for residents to fully embrace the Coral Gables lifestyle while in residence and enjoy the convenience of leasing it when away. Cassia is further elevating this thriving neighborhood and is set to deliver an exceptional living experience,” said Alicia Cervera Lamadrid, Managing Partner and Principal of Cervera Real Estate.

I’m sorry, but this building design lacks a soul. What ever happened to humanity in the building arts. Nobody will want to interact with the building, as the it obviously is not made for humans. Students will not stop and sketch it in their notebooks for future reference. Open a history book and learn about the three parts of a building..base, shaft and top, as well as proportion and humanities. With those simple yet complex lessons, we can create a world we want to live in. Ugh. What a missed opportunity.
DJ’s got it right. Ditto for Merrick Park : unattractive, unwelcoming, difficult to navigate or even understand.
