Video: ORA by Casa Tua – Brickell’s Most Luxurious New Condo Development Comes to Life with Italian Verve, Members Only Experiences and Short-Term Rentals

May 22, 2023 May 22, 2023

Live in the “now” with ORA by Casa Tua - a timeless, lifestyle-driven project designed for those who crave a nature-immersed sanctuary with heartwarming, Italian curations in the heart of the city. This building has a soul and truly comes to life, bringing residents together through food, experiences and connectivity.

Planned to offer a 5-star experience in Miami’s pulsating business district of Brickell, ORA is a heartfelt project born out of a friendship between its developers – Edgardo Defortuna of Fortune International Group and husband-wife duo Miky Grendene & Leticia Herrera of Casa Tua. With its unique Bosco sky forest in the center of the building, reminiscent of similar “living” residential towers in Milan and other towers around the world, four captivating food concepts based in storied Italian culinary traditions, two resort pool experiences, a “minimal on design and maximum on life” approach, ORA will re-energize Brickell’s skyline with its upbeat and social energy.

Watch this video as Blackbook Properties founder and preconstruction condo expert Sep Niakan interviews Sandra Chartouni, Director of Sales at Fortune International for ORA by Casa Tua, for more information on the one-of-a-kind, finely curated ORA by Casa Tua and also discover what the experiences of Bosco, Terra, Uvo, Vento, and Fuoco will be:

Owners at this stunning project will be allowed complete rental flexibility, with only a 3-day minimum stay, so they can make the most of their investment with short-term, seasonal, or long-term rentals. And rental check-ins have a completely separate lobby and staff.
