The units will be available for short-term stays with flexible uses.

A joint venture between Fortune International Group and Blue Road have topped off Nexo Residences in North Miami Beach, Fla., a 16-story 254-unit, short-term rental condominium. The property is expected for completion next year.

Upon completion in Nexo Residences will offer a variety of studio to three-bedroom floor plans. Also offered will be an array of three- and four-bedroom townhomes. The units are also designed for flexible use, being large enough to convert portions of them to secondary spaces or additional apartments.

Foreign funding sources

A hallmark of the Nexo project is the EB-5 Immigrant Investor program, which is allowing international investors to own equity in the project in addition to receiving lawful permanent resident status. The investors must commit $1.05 million in Nexo’s EB-5 program and abide by the required process for eligibility under the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services for eligibility to receive a green card.
