The Bond on Brickell, the first condo planned for Brickell Avenue since the recession, has topped-off construction at 44 stories.
The development, a 328-unit luxury tower under development by Rilea Group and MDR Toledo, is located at 1080 Brickell Avenue. It is slated for delivery in the first quarter of 2016, but 97 percent of the building’s condo units under contract.
Diego Ojeda, the vice president of Rilea Group explains that bullish forecasts on Miami’s economy encouraged them to launch the project.
“Buyers from more than 25 countries around the world responded by purchasing nearly all of the available units more than six months before delivery.”
Rilea Group, Coastal Construction and Nichols Brosch Wurst Wolfe & Associates (NBWW) collaborated to build The Bond. Previously, the three firms had teamed up in the successful development of the nearby 1450 Brickell office tower, as well as the International Finance Bank headquarters near Coral Gables.
“We could not have reached this milestone without the dedication and tenacity of our tremendous team,” said Tom Murphy, Jr., chairman and CEO of Coastal Construction Group. “It continues to be a pleasure to work with Alan Ojeda and his team, the entire MDR Toledo group and Nichols Brosch Wurst Wolfe & Associates.”
The Bond features one, two and three-bedroom condos, as well as lofts and penthouses. Other building amenities will include: a resort-style amenity deck, which has a library, a children’s learning center and a great room complete with a sitting area, billiards table, wet bar and kitchen; private cabanas with furnished summer kitchens; a large fire pit; and a “grotto-inspired” Jacuzzi area.
Residences will include floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding glass doors, glass-balcony terraces and double door entry walk-in closets. All units will be fitted with stainless steel Bosch appliances; European-styled cabinetry; Silestone countertops, backsplashes and vanities; and Porcelanosa designer bathroom faucets. Lifestyle kitchens will include breakfast bars that open up to living and dining areas for entertaining purposes. Spa-inspired bathrooms will include luxury porcelain flooring, with double sink vanities and frameless glass enclosures in select master bath units.
Cervera Real Estate leads The Bond’s sales and marketing efforts. Alicia Cervera Lamadrid, the brokerage’s managing partner, said the building is indicative of Miami’s international status.
“The Bond on Brickell’s sophisticated design and stylish British decor embodies Miami’s increasingly international appeal,” she said. “Rilea Group has met the growing demand for luxury condo living, attracting domestic and international buyers with an elegant design in an urban setting.”
