Developed by Ugo Colombo and his team at CMC Group, the exquisite building, with its flatiron shape and curves on the balcony of every floor, was designed by Miami-based Luis Revuelta. Interiors are by renowned Italian design architect Massimo Iosa Ghini, who seamlessly implemented Revuelta's design onto the interiors.

Over 95% of the building’s 527 units are sold, with remaining residences priced from $790,000 to $3 million. One upper duplex penthouse is available for $8 million.

Units in Brickell Flatiron have been purchased by international luxury buyers from Argentina, Colombia, Italy, Mexico and Venezuela. However, U.S. buyers are the biggest bloc, buying over half of all units. The lure of Downtown Miami and Brickell has generated interest from those interested in the cosmopolitan lifestyle at a fraction of the price of other high-profile markets.

“When we started developing in Miami in the early 1990s, our firm viewed Brickell and Downtown as a ‘blank canvas’ that would one day come to life as a vibrant residential and commercial district where streets were alive 24 hours a day,” said Colombo. “Brickell Flatiron stands out for its unique luxury lifestyle woven into the urban landscape and is a reflection of Miami’s coming of age as a cosmopolitan city with a thriving downtown at its heart.”

Steps away from Brickell Flatiron are some of Miami's finest restaurants, shopping centers, five-star hotels, and transit hubs that service the area's headquarters for hundreds of companies.

Under Colombo's leadership, CMC Group has been in the luxury development in the Brickell Financial District since 1994, when it developed Bristol Tower, and the Santa Maria in the mid-2000s, both generating record sales revenues.

Amenities on the rooftop include a Sky Spa, Sky Pool and Sky Gym with 360-degree panoramic views of the bay, Downtown Miami, and beyond. The private steam, sauna and locker facilities are close to the 6,300 square foot fitness center with Pilates, spin and aerobics studios, and a juice bar.

A resort-style lap pool and separate children's pool on the 18th floor, private movie theater with stadium seating, billiards room and lounge, clubroom, full-time concierge and 24-hour valet parking, on-site vehicle washing and detailing, and electric car-charging stations are other features within Brickell Flatiron, guaranteeing nothing but the finest in urban luxury living.

CMC Group paid back $236 million in construction financing to Bank OZK, Broad Street (Goldman Sachs) and RFR Realty in December 2019, only 30 days after receiving the Temporary Certificate of Occupancy for Brickell Flatiron.

However, when you see the 67,000 square-foot Clubhouse you will understand the genuine temptation to stay indoors, even in paradise. The crown-jewel of Kohanaiki is situated at the heart of this private club community and serves as a daily hub of club activity for members and guests.

The lower level of the building offers a 21-seat theater, 4-lane bowling alley, pool, foosball, shuffleboard, and variety of video and board games. A James Bond-style poker room and scotch bar, wine tasting room and private dining areas are enhanced by a museum-worthy gallery of art devoted to the Hawaiian culture. Intimate wine dinners, Bingo nights, Superbowl parties, and club hosted poker nights are just some of the fun event programming taking place for the Kohanaiki "`ohana" (family) on a regular basis.

Daily scheduled movie showings and a full complimentary movie concession with all the standard goodies keep residents more than entertained. A full bar in the Game Room, complete with a skilled bartender, provides the ideal backdrop for after-dinner fun and games.

More over-the-top Clubhouse amenities continue to impress on the upper level, such as the men and women's relaxation and spa areas with lounges, dry sauna, steam rooms, hot tubs, plunge pools, and a tranquil garden. Four treatment rooms make up the oasis where relaxation-seekers indulge in world-class wellness and exclusive spa treatments inspired by indigenous plants and the Hawaiian culture.

Aligned with Kohanaiki's focus on wellness and fitness, an indoor-outdoor fitness center with a fully equipped gym and 25-meter infinity pool overlooks the Pacific Ocean. Thoughtful fitness programming offers daily water aerobics, sunrise lap swim, yoga, Pilates, and private fitness training with one of Kohanaiki's expert trainers. These are just some of the perks that make it hard to leave what members fondly call their private "heaven on earth."

The restaurants, hotels and shopping centers of Brickell Financial District in Downtown Miami have a new focal in Brickell Flatiron, the 64-story luxury condominium constructed by CMC Group.

Milan-born developer Ugo Colombo partnered with master Italian design architect Massimo Iosa Ghini to make the residential gem. The flatiron shape of the tower is paired with flowing, curvilinear forms.
