BI Group USA, the North American arm of Central Asia’s largest developer, BI Group, has broken ground on the Kobi Karp-designed Parkside Residences at Brickell, its highly anticipated, wellness-focused residential project.

The now-under-construction condominium, located at 1741 SW 2nd Ave., is an eight-story, 187-unit residential development positioned in the heart of Brickell, one of the fastest-growing and most dynamic urban neighborhoods in the country.

The milestone was commemorated with a morning ceremony at the project site featuring live music, curated hors d’oeuvres and drinks. Guests enjoyed a preview of the development’s updated wellness-focused design and amenities through an interactive gallery wall and word search game where they had the chance to win premium prizes.

Olzhas Ayazbayev, CEO of BI Group USA, Daniel de la Vega, President of ONE Sotheby’s International Realty, Luis Leon, President of Winmar Construction, and the morning’ special guest, Aman Omarov, CEO of BI Group International, all spoke to the vision and dedication behind the BI Group’s first U.S. project.

“Parkside isn’t just a response to Miami’s growth, it’s a statement about where global urban living is going next,” said Olzhas Ayazbayev, CEO of BI Group USA. “As Brickell emerges as a true live-work-play neighborhood, we combine over 30 years of global expertise with local insight to create communities like Parkside that foster happiness and support this focus shift to wellness, connection and seamless living.”
