ORA by Casa Tua

ORA by Casa Tua rises 77 floors at 1210 Brickell Avenue, in the heart of the Brickell Financial District, with 540 units. Arquitectonica is architect of record and m2atelier handles interiors, with the Casa Tua hospitality brand woven through the amenity program rather than sitting outside it.

The project is preconstruction. A 2025 press account states no general contractor has been named and vertical construction has not begun; the only financing on record is a $36.08 million loan that a 2024 source identifies as pre-development rather than construction funding. Completion is estimated for 2030. No sell-through figure is published, so pace of sales cannot be assessed from here.

Units run from 487 to 2,302 square feet, a spread wide enough to cover a studio-scale investor unit and a full family-size layout in the same building. Interiors are designed by m2atelier; the developer's own material points to wrap-around terraces delivering city and bay views.

No price, price-per-square-foot, or finishes-inclusion detail is published. That is the single biggest gap in what a buyer can know today — ask the sales team directly for current pricing and what is and isn't included before treating any verbal figure as fixed.

The amenity list is built around the Casa Tua name: Fuoco, an open-fire restaurant with wood-burning cuisine and crudo; Vento, a two-story rooftop with its own pool, show kitchen, private dining room, entertainment stage and members-only lounge; and Bosco as a more relaxed indoor-outdoor gathering space. A resort-style pool with sun shelf and cabanas, a wellness pavilion for group classes, a spa with steam rooms, sauna, hammam and treatment rooms (including a couples' room), and a fitness center with a virtual sports room round out the wellness side. A 40-foot sky park is described as sitting at the heart of the building.

Daily service leans on a dedicated on-site operator, on-site concierge, and a digital concierge app for booking and housekeeping — plus direct delivery to residents' doors from both Fuoco and Vento. Two separate lobbies (residents' and short-term check-in) suggest the building is built to handle both long-term owners and shorter stays, though the actual rental policy is not published.

Brickell itself is a dense, still-forming corridor. Several towers nearby — 888 Brickell Dolce & Gabbana, Cipriani Residences, The Residences at 1428 Brickell — are under construction or proposed at similar or greater height, all logged with partial rather than blocking view impact. This is an interior-prime site among tall, permitted neighbors, not a site with guaranteed unobstructed sightlines long-term.

Fortune International Group, Miami-based and founded in 1983, has delivered four Miami-Dade condo towers since 2004 — Jade Residences, Jade Beach, Jade Ocean and Jade Signature — a genuine track record in this market. That history is the basis for a solid, though not top-tier, developer score under this index's rubric.

On financing, the only sum on record for ORA specifically is a $36.08 million loan from Amerant Bank, which a 2024 source describes as pre-development capital rather than construction financing. No construction lender or general contractor has been confirmed as of the most recent reporting. Control of the project entity, 1210 Brickell Owner LLC, relative to Fortune is not fully confirmed in the cited record.

The published deposit schedule is back-loaded: 20% at contract, 10% at groundbreaking, 10% at top-off, and 60% — described as the remaining balance — due at delivery. Only the first 10% is guaranteed by Florida's statutory escrow floor; the other 40% due before completion is a disclosed structural exposure, not a statutory protection, and escrow terms beyond the floor are not published.

No price, price-per-square-foot, rental policy, or HOA figure is published. With a 2030 completion estimate and no confirmed construction loan or contractor yet, this sits early in the delivery cycle. Ask the sales team for the current pricing sheet, the actual escrow terms on the balance beyond 10%, confirmed construction financing, and the rental/short-term policy before signing.

Location scores 7 — a genuine Brickell address, among tall neighbors with partial rather than blocking view risk. Developer scores 7 on Fortune's four-tower delivery record, held short of the top tier by the rubric's treatment of matters at other Fortune buildings (detailed on this page's filings panel, not this project). Liquidity scores 7 on Brickell's deep resale market, the wide 487-2,302 sf unit range, and the Casa Tua/Arquitectonica names, tempered by an unpublished rental policy.

Delivery scores 5 and buyer protection scores 4 — the honest core of this file. No general contractor is named, no construction loan is confirmed, and 40% of the price is due before delivery against only a 10% statutory escrow floor. Market momentum scores 6: sponsor and brand are real, but no price or sell-through data exists yet to show demand. Value is unscored — there is simply no price or price-per-square-foot published to weigh against Brickell's $1,500-$2,600/sf band.

This suits a buyer comfortable holding through a multi-year preconstruction cycle to a 2030 close, drawn to the design and hospitality pedigree more than to a proven sales pace. It does not suit anyone who needs price certainty now, a shorter time horizon, or deposit protection beyond the statutory minimum.
