Inspiring Design and Embracing the Outdoors

All residences will boast panoramic views overlooking Brickell, Biscayne Bay and Coconut Grove; have ten-foot ceilings with floor-to-ceiling windows and curated window treatments; Italian-designed kitchens with top-tier appliances; Italian-designed baths with imported fixtures; smart home technology; pre-wired for high-speed internet & Wi-Fi; spacious walk-in closets; and washer and dryers.
A Vibrant Neighborhood
Originally known as the financial hub of Miami, Brickell has become one of the most popular neighborhoods in the city, and according to Forbes back in 2019, an area people want to live in. Modern and high-rise buildings dominate the skyline by Biscayne Bay, and it’s just south of Downtown Miami, connected by the Brickell Avenue Bridge that crosses over the Miami River. Brickell offers world-class hotels and some of Miami’s best shopping, dining and nightlife scenes, including Brickell City Centre, where Casa Tua Cucina is located, Hotel AKA Brickell, EAST Miami, SLS Brickell Miami, KOMODO, Fi’lia and more. ORA by Casa Tua’s goal is to become a destination itself for Brickell, and is ideally located on the best corner of the neighborhood on S Miami Ave, 13th and Brickell Ave.
