And Then There Was One: The 62nd-floor Penthouse

The future looks bright for the Miami luxury real estate market despite the economic decline in the US due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Brickell Flatiron, the latest project by luxury real estate developer Ugo Colombo, had $31.62 million in real estate sales since March. In fact, since the opening of this building, 98 percent of the units have been sold. However, there is one beauty that since remains unclaimed at the Brickell Flatiron and it can be found on the 62nd floor.

Penthouse Details

The last remaining penthouse at the Brickell Flatiron is on the market for $9 million. This unit is a two-story, 4,663-square-foot beauty. It comes fully furnished with four bedrooms and five and a half bathrooms. The penthouse features terraces that extended from each exterior room and gorgeous, vast views of Biscayne Bay and downtown Miami. Created by Spanish architect Alexis Cogul Lleonart, this penthouse was beautifully designed to compliment the gorgeous views this unit offers. With vibrant color choices, contrasting materials, and fluid lines, this unique design is sure to capture the attention of all who enter.

Miami Luxury Real Estate Stays Hot During a Pandemic

COVID-19 has made many things uncertain, but one thing that remains clear is the increasing demand for luxury real estate in Miami. Even amidst a pandemic, the Brickell Flatiron (Ugo Colombo’s latest project), closed on a whopping $31.62 million in sales since March. As the US economy continues to drop, Miami’s luxury real estate continues to rise, and the Brickell Flatiron sales are proof of this fact.

Details on the Brickell Flatiron Sales

The Brickell Flatiron project first broke ground in early 2017 and finally opened late 2019. Since its opening the 64-story, 527-unit has sold 98 percent of its units which is equivalent to 516 units. In the last three months, four of the five penthouse units were sold and four more have gone under contract. The four units that have gone under contract since March have all gone to contract at asking price. The smallest unit of the four units under contract is a 900 square-foot one-bedroom, one-bathroom that went for $450,000. The largest is a 2,200 square-foot three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom condo that went for $1.88 million. There is one penthouse that remains available at the Brickell Flatiron and the asking price is $9 million. If the past three months are any indicator of what the future holds for Miami luxury real estate sales, that penthouse won’t be available for long!

Ugo Colombo, Brickell Flatiron and the Growing Miami Landscape

High-rise buildings began in Miami with the 1925 completion of the 255-foot Freedom Tower. From the mid-1990s through the late 2000s, Miami experienced the largest building boom in the city’s history. As a result, only two of the city’s 25 tallest buildings were completed before the year 2000, and Miami has one of largest skylines in the United States. The boom, of course, ended in 2008 when the real estate market crashed, but now a new wave of high-rise development is beginning to gain momentum.

Ugo Colombo’s Brickell Flatiron is a substantial part of this new growth. The 64-story glass skyscraper is now in its’ final planning stages with roughly 40 percent of units under contract. Construction is scheduled to start by year-end on the project, which is slated to have 548 condos with wide, curving terraces, and 35,000 square feet of ground-floor restaurant and retail space.

Ugo Colombo is intent on making more history in South Florida with his Brickell Flatiron and Miami is welcoming this new chapter in their history.

Ocean Drive recently sat down with Ugo Colombo to discuss his latest project, the 64-story Brickell Flatiron that will soar 700 feet, have a rooftop pool, spa, and fitness center, include artwork by Julian Schnabel, and will have an unobstructed 360-degree views over glistening Biscayne Bay and downtown Miami.

Marcelle Sussman Fischler begins by discussing Ugo Colombo’s CMC Group and his history of successes in Miami including Epic Residences & Hotel; the Bristol Tower on Brickell Avenue; the posh Santa Maria; Aventura’s chic Porto Vita; and The Collection, his seven-brand luxury automobile dealership.

Fischler asks Ugo Colombo about his ethos when conceptualizing a development, the influence of the Miami culture on design, and his thoughts on the supposed real estate bubble.  Fischler also specifically asks Colombo about his passion for Brickell Flatiron.

“I always thought what you see happening now [in Brickell] would eventually happen,” begins Colombo. “This is a little piece of New York inside Miami. You are in an area where you are walking distance to go to work, you have access to tons of restaurants, you have access now to department stores and a bit of retail within a few blocks. You have the best restaurants, all moving to this area. You have access to the Metrorail, and you have access to the offices in the Financial District.”

In a recent Miami Herald piece, Ugo Colombo explains why the designs of his projects are all about the details.

“The Italian-born developer oversees nearly every inch of his projects,” the article begins “from the intricate mosaics at the Collection, a luxury car dealership in Coral Gables, to the porthole-shaped windows that adorn Grovenor House, a 32-story condo tower with a nautical theme in Coconut Grove.”

Architect Luis Revuelta, who has worked with Ugo Colombo and CMC Group for 25 years says Ugo Colombo “…insisted on importing Venetian stucco, Italian kitchen fixtures and Azurelite glass,” for the famous Bristol Tower that was built in 1993.

Ugo Colombo is continue his hands-approach – and attention to detail – in his latest project, Brickell Flatiron.  “’In order to really pay attention to what I’m doing, I need to work out a floor plan and personally look at what side each door swings and be happy with the column placement and how the whole building flows and functions,’” says Ugo.

Developer Alan Ojeda says Ugo Colombo “…invests so much time personally.  We all pay attention to detail, but with Ugo it’s an exquisite attention to detail, a real passion.”
