Construction Permit Filed for 78-Story Ora by Casa Tua Tower in Brickell
A major step forward has been taken for the highly anticipated Ora by Casa Tua tower in Brickell, as a construction permit application was officially filed with the City of Miami’s Building Department on June 19th. This milestone signals the beginning of what is set to become one of Miami’s tallest and most sophisticated mixed-use developments. Developed by Fortune International Group, Ora by Casa Tua is envisioned as a vertical community that combines luxury living, innovative office spaces, and world-class dining experiences within a single, thoughtfully designed high-rise.
According to the permit filing, the 78-story tower will include 533 condominium residences, occupying floors 12 through 75. These residences are expected to reflect Casa Tua’s signature approach to lifestyle and hospitality, blending artful design with high-end finishes and an emphasis on wellness and connectivity. In addition to its residential offering, the tower will feature 58,089 square feet of premium office space distributed across the first eight floors, designed to meet the needs of today’s evolving work environments.
The project will also introduce 31,587 square feet of restaurant space, with culinary venues positioned throughout the Lobby, Mezzanine, 9th, 77th, and 78th floors. This includes a dramatic rooftop setting that will likely become a new hotspot for elevated dining with panoramic city and bay views. Eight levels of parking will be incorporated into the tower to provide convenience for residents, office tenants, and restaurant guests.
Altogether, the development is projected to span an impressive 1,149,177 square feet, with an estimated hard construction cost of $201.1 million. While a contractor has not yet been named, the project is expected to begin active construction in the near future.
Initially proposed at a height of 930 feet, Ora by Casa Tua has since received FAA approval for a final height of 1,044 feet above ground, or 1,049 feet above sea level, making it one of the tallest residential buildings in Miami and a defining element of the city’s skyline. Its sleek and modern design, combined with a strong lifestyle-driven vision, positions it as more than just a building—it’s set to become a landmark for elevated urban living.
Fortune International Group, a major force in South Florida real estate, acquired the Brickell site in 2023 with the goal of delivering a flagship project under the Casa Tua brand. Known for its distinctive hospitality and private club experiences, Casa Tua will bring its refined ethos to a full-scale vertical community, offering residents and visitors a seamless blend of home, work, and leisure.
As Brickell continues to evolve into one of the most dynamic neighborhoods in the U.S., Ora by Casa Tua represents a bold and timely contribution to Miami’s urban future. From sky-high dining to carefully curated residences, this tower promises to redefine the city’s standard for luxury and mixed-use development. With permitting now underway, the countdown has officially begun for what will undoubtedly be one of Miami’s most iconic towers.
