The first project, the 142-unit Oceana Key Biscayne condominium development, is expected to open in July and is more than 90 percent sold.

“We have an extraordinary team of lenders who have continued to support our organization and our vision for Oceana Bal Harbour,” says Costantini. “We all share the goal of building out this master plan, achieving the full density we envisioned and creating a thriving and highly amenity-rich luxury waterfront building with unmatched views of Miami’s ocean and sky.”

More than $390 million of contracts to buy the units have been signed, with more than $470 million in commitments, including reservations. Total sales for the project are expected to range between $1.2 billion and $1.3 billion.

The site’s 5.53-acre is located at 10201 Collins Avenue in Bal Harbour adjacent 400 feet of ocean frontage, will offer residents immediate beach access.
