At 37, Valentín Martínez Carbonell, founder and CEO of Maca Re Group, stands at the forefront of a new generation of Miami developers transforming South Florida’s urban landscape with precision, purpose, and long-term vision. Recognized as one of Lifestyle Magazine’s Men of Influence, Carbonell embodies a leadership philosophy grounded in both business discipline and human impact.
For Carbonell, development is an instrument of progress. “I’m motivated by turning ideas into the places people live, connect, and thrive,” he says. That belief has driven Maca Re Group’s rapid ascent as one of South Florida’s most active and forward-thinking real estate investment and development firms.
Under his direction, the company has emerged as a key force in Wynwood Norte’s revitalization, strategically assembling more than 180,000 square feet of land since 2021—representing the potential for more than 800 residential units. Flagship projects such as Casa Wyn, Wyn 05, Wyn Ave, and W35 reflect a commitment to thoughtful density, architectural integrity, and the creation of walkable, community-driven environments that sustain long-term neighborhood value.
Maca Re Group’s influence extends well beyond Wynwood. The firm recently delivered 24 luxury townhomes in Hollywood, illustrating its ability to combine scale, design, and efficiency across diverse markets. Each project reinforces Carbonell’s belief that real estate must enrich both lifestyle and locality.
That ethos reaches its peak at Aire Residences in Bay Harbor Islands, an ultra-luxury waterfront development featuring private marinas and limited-edition homes starting at $3.8 million. With only eight residences—each designed for privacy, craftsmanship, and timeless appeal—Aire embodies the intersection of exclusivity and elegance. Its companion project, Aire Residences Boutique, continues that vision inland with eight additional bespoke residences.
In an era defined by volatility and rapid growth, Carbonell’s approach is rooted in resilience and intention. Rather than chasing trends, he pursues projects that strengthen the region’s economic and cultural fabric. “Our goal has always been to create neighborhoods people want to live in—places that elevate quality of life and reflect the energy of Miami itself,” he says.
As South Florida continues its evolution into a global hub for investment, innovation, and design, Valentín Martínez Carbonell is helping define its next chapter—one built on integrity, insight, and a commitment to lasting community impact.
