Gale Miami Hotel & Residences Achieves Major Milestones with TCO and Rapid Sales Momentum

The Gale Miami Hotel & Residences, a visionary project by hospitality entrepreneur Keith Menin and Marisa Galbut through their development firm Sixth Street Miami Partners LLC, has reached a significant milestone with the issuance of a temporary certificate of occupancy (TCO). This achievement, backed by GFO Investments, signifies a pivotal moment for the development, which has seen remarkable progress since its inception. Furthermore, Gale Miami has successfully surpassed 250 closings in less than 60 days, highlighting the strong demand for short-term rental properties in Downtown Miami.

Located at 601 Northeast First Avenue in Downtown Miami, Gale Miami Hotel & Residences opened its doors in May 2024. The 51-story development offers move-in-ready and fully furnished units, with studio, 1-, and 2-bedroom layouts ranging from 410 to 910 square feet. Prices for these luxury units start in the mid $500s and go up to over $1 million. Its prime location near Miami Worldcenter and within walking distance of Downtown Miami makes Gale Miami an attractive option for residents seeking the perfect blend of hotel amenities and the flexibility of home-sharing options.

Keith Menin expressed his enthusiasm about the TCO milestone, stating, "Receiving the TCO is a major milestone for us all. Our immediate focus is now on welcoming buyers into their new homes and ensuring they fully experience all that Gale Miami has to offer. The positive reception from buyers confirms Gale Miami's appeal and exceeds expectations in the Downtown Miami market."

Gale Miami Hotel & Residences, along with 601 Miami, boasts a sprawling 70,000-square-foot amenity space spread across three floors. Residents and guests can enjoy a state-of-the-art fitness facility, a tranquil yoga lounge, an inviting terrace, and spa facilities including a steam room, sauna, and hammam. The property features a 24-hour attended lobby with a comfortable lounge area and 24-hour valet parking. Culinary options are abundant, with three unique dining concepts: an Italian restaurant, an American steakhouse and lounge, and a Mediterranean-style eatery.

For business needs, the Gale Miami Conference Center, located on the 8th floor, offers over 20,000 square feet of flexible space, including multiple conference rooms, breakout areas, and a grand ballroom. Additionally, the property includes three dedicated floors of exhibition space, each spanning 40,000 square feet. As a premier conference venue in Downtown Miami, Gale Miami is a sought-after location for major events, from weddings to corporate functions. The center provides personalized concierge catering and services, ensuring every guest's needs are met with meticulous attention to detail.

Designed by Arquitectonica, in collaboration with Urban Robot for interior design and landscape architecture, Gale Miami Hotel & Residences embodies a vibrant, walkable urban oasis in Downtown Miami. With breathtaking views of Biscayne Bay and the Miami skyline, the design seamlessly integrates urban sophistication with luxurious resort-style amenities, establishing a new benchmark for city living.

The announcement of Gale Miami’s TCO and rapid sales success coincides with the launch of their latest development, 14 ROC, in Downtown Miami on July 10. This new venture continues the trend of innovative, high-demand properties that cater to the evolving needs of Miami's residents and visitors alike.
