The downtown Miami real estate market continues to be a hot commodity after the last remaining inventory at the Reach and Rise Residences at Brickell City Centre were recently sold.

Swire Properties sold the last 81 units at the two luxury condominium towers to two real estate development and investment firms, KAR Properties and Fortune International Group.

“Brickell City Centre has enhanced Miami’s Brickell neighborhood, bringing high-end retailers, global cuisine and entertainment to the community,” says Edgardo Defortuna, president and CEO of Fortune International Group. “As Miami’s global appeal and market demand rises, real estate continues to be a smart investment option. Our firm has had long-term success in the industry with a strong grasp on what is happening in the South Florida market. It is clear Swire Properties has developed a landmark destination for the community.”

The mixed-use property of Brickell City Centre was developed in 2014 to attract residential and commercial investors. After reaching 90% of units sold in March and selling the remaining inventory in May, Swire Properties plans to continue developing around the Brickell area along with other developers.

“The most dynamic part of Miami is downtown, particularly along the riverfront, where we are developing One River Point by Rafael Viñoly as part of a three-phase luxury development located directly across the river from Brickell City Centre,” says Shahab Karmely, CEO and Founder of KAR Properties.

BIOGRAPHY

Drew Limsky joined Lifestyle Media Group in August 2020 as Editor-in-Chief of South Florida Business & Wealth. His first issue of SFBW, October 2020, heralded a reimagined structure, with new content categories and a slew of fresh visual themes. “As sort of a cross between Forbes and Robb Report, with a dash of GQ and Vogue,” Limsky says, “SFBW reflects South Florida’s increasingly sophisticated and dynamic business and cultural landscape.”

Limsky, an avid traveler, swimmer and film buff who holds a law degree and Ph.D. from New York University, likes to say, “I’m a doctor, but I can’t operate—except on your brand.” He wrote his dissertation on the nonfiction work of Joan Didion. Prior to that, Limsky received his B.A. in English, summa cum laude, from Emory University and earned his M.A. in literature at American University in connection with a Masters Scholar Award fellowship.

Limsky came to SFBW at the apex of a storied career in journalism and publishing that includes six previous lead editorial roles, including for some of the world’s best-known brands. He served as global editor-in-chief of Lexus magazine, founding editor-in-chief of custom lifestyle magazines for Cadillac and Holland America Line, and was the founding editor-in-chief of Modern Luxury Interiors South Florida. He also was the executive editor for B2B magazines for Acura and Honda Financial Services, and he served as travel editor for Conde Nast. Magazines under Limsky’s editorship have garnered more than 75 industry awards.

He has also written for many of the country’s top newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, Boston Globe, USA Today, Worth, Robb Report, Afar, Time Out New York, National Geographic Traveler, Men’s Journal, Ritz-Carlton, Elite Traveler, Florida Design, Metropolis and Architectural Digest Mexico. His other clients have included Four Seasons, Acqualina Resort & Residences, Yahoo!, American Airlines, Wynn, Douglas Elliman and Corcoran. As an adjunct assistant professor, Limsky has taught journalism, film and creative writing at the City University of New York, Pace University, American University and other colleges.
