“Records show Bel Invest Wynwood assembled the lots for a combined $9.6 million between 2015 and 2017.”
Wynwood A hipster, urban and young area that has seen a great development for the last 10 years, is the nest of the coolest bars, clubs and restaurants in Miami and started as a gentrified area that evolved in to the most vibrant artsy area in Miami, with icon areas such as the Wynwood walls where the most relevant artists and graffiti artists have painted eye catching walls
The Italian retail clothing’s Diesel Living line is partnering with Bel Invest Group, an international real estate investment company based in Vicenza, Italy, to build a 143-unit condominium complex in the artsy neighbourhood, Women’s Wear Daily first reported.
The project will have a “loft-style” design, 226,000 square feet of residential space and about 24,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space. Diesel and Bel Invest expect to launch presales in the first quarter of next year.
The project marks the first in the U.S. for Bel Invest, with also has offices in Miami, Berlin and Barcelona. It will be built on a six-lot, nearly 1-acre site at 115 to 161 Northwest 28th Street, next to land owned by the Related Group and Tony Cho. Related and Cho are also planning a residential project on that property, and have said it could be micro condos.
Few condo projects have been built in Wynwood, where a majority of construction underway is for rental, boutique office and rental buildings.
Diesel isn’t the first clothing company with a furnishings line to partner with a residential developer in South Florida.

Related and Dezer Development are also completing construction of the Residences by Armani/Casa in Sunny Isles Beach.
