Brickell condo buyers and the wider Miami-Dade housing market could see another tower on the skyline, as One United Properties has put $43 million into the 533-unit ORA by Casa Tua at 1210 Brickell Avenue. The 77-story project is being developed with Fortune International Group.
Why it matters
New high-rise supply in Brickell matters to anyone watching rents and condo prices in the 305, and the financing mix shows how much big developers are leaning on foreign-investor money to get projects off the ground. Whether this adds to the inventory or to the price pressure is the open question residents will be watching.
The disclosed figures are a $43 million equity stake in a 533-unit, 77-story tower on a 1-acre site bought for $30 million in 2024. Fortune's combined loans total $1.5 billion across Miami-Dade projects, but the source does not say how much of that will go to any single building.
The players
One United Properties
Romanian-listed real estate company that took an equity stake in the ORA by Casa Tua project.
Fortune International Group
Developer behind the 77-story ORA tower and the Faena, St. Regis and Key Biscayne projects cited in the report.
The details
One United Properties took an equity stake of $43 million in the ORA by Casa Tua, which will rise at 1210 Brickell Avenue near Southeast 13th Street. Fortune International Group bought the site for $30 million in 2024 and has accepted EB-5 investment since 2025, a federal program that grants U.S. residency to foreign investors. Units will be delivered fully furnished, and construction is expected to begin in the first quarter of 2027. Fortune also secured an $817 million construction loan for a Faena-branded project in Downtown Miami, a $463 million loan to finish the St. Regis Residences in Sunny Isles Beach, and a $220 million predevelopment loan for a Key Biscayne waterfront project.

Beyond the 305
The ORA deal leans on the EB-5 program, which has long channeled foreign capital into Miami-area condos and rentals. It continues a pattern in which overseas investment, not local buyers alone, helps determine which towers get built along the Brickell corridor.
If you rent or hope to buy in Brickell, the ORA tower would add 533 furnished units to a crowded market, and its pricing will shape nearby rents once it opens. Neighbors along Brickell Avenue should expect construction activity to begin in early 2027.
The takeaway
Watch the ORA by Casa Tua project as a test of how much foreign capital will keep shaping Brickell's skyline. Check for permitting and construction-start news ahead of the first quarter of 2027.
What happens next
Construction on the ORA tower is expected to begin in the first quarter of 2027, when the next financing and permitting milestones are likely to surface.
