• One United Properties is investing $43 million in ORA by Casa Tua, joining Fortune International Group as a joint venture partner.
• The 77-story Brickell development at 1210 Brickell Avenue will feature 533 fully furnished residences, from studios to four-bedroom homes.
• Sales are underway, with construction scheduled to begin in Q1 2027.

What Fortune and One United Properties Are Building

ORA by Casa Tua is planned for 1210 Brickell Avenue, with 533 fully furnished residences in a 77-story tower. Fortune International Group, led by President and CEO Edgardo Defortuna, is developing the project alongside the Casa Tua hospitality brand. Residences will range from studios to four-bedroom homes, with interiors by Milan-based design studio m2atelier. Planned features include 10-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, Italian-designed kitchens, imported bathroom fixtures, smart-home technology, and views of Brickell, Biscayne Bay, and Coconut Grove. The amenity program will include a three-story open-sky garden, wellness spaces, co-working studios, and areas for entertainment and relaxation. Four Casa Tua restaurant concepts, Terra, Uva, Fuoco, and Vento, are also planned.

What the $43 Million Partnership Means

One United Properties’ investment establishes its Miami presence through ORA by Casa Tua. The publicly listed Romanian developer selected the U.S. market as a strategic growth opportunity, identifying Miami and Nashville as initial expansion locations. Fortune selected One United based on its experience delivering large-scale, design-driven residential developments, its financial discipline as a listed company, and its connections to European buyers.

“We’ve been very deliberate about the partners we bring into ORA by Casa Tua,” said Defortuna, adding that One United Properties shares Fortune’s “conviction in the long-term strength of Miami.” He described the investment as “a strong endorsement of the project” and Brickell’s continued international appeal.

One United co-founder and co-CEO Victor Căpitanu said, “Miami is a central focus of our U.S. growth strategy,” and noted that the project allows the company to enter the market alongside a partner with decades of South Florida experience.

What Makes ORA by Casa Tua Stand Out in Brickell

The development’s hospitality component is central to its positioning. Casa Tua’s brand blends dining, culture, and service, while the planned residences are designed for “effortless ownership and rental flexibility,” according to the project announcement.

David Flusberg, founder of ERA5 and One United Properties’ U.S. managing partner, said ORA stood out for its “prime Brickell location, approved development plans, strong pre-sales and world-class partners.” He added that the joint venture aims to deliver “an iconic landmark on Miami’s skyline.”

The partnership also reflects how international developers are seeking entry into U.S. markets through established local sponsors, especially in luxury residential projects where brand recognition, execution, and buyer reach can be important.

What Comes Next for ORA by Casa Tua

Sales are underway, and construction is expected to begin in the first quarter of 2027. Dan Maza of Fortune Christie’s International Real Estate served as an advisor on the joint venture transaction. For Fortune, the partnership adds investment and international reach to a major Brickell project. For One United Properties, the $43 million commitment provides a foothold in Miami’s luxury residential market as it expands beyond Romania.
