MIAMI, December 22, 2025 – Cushman & Wakefield announced today that firm represented a development partnership of Focus and Group Fox in securing $250 million in construction financing for Brickell Starlight, a luxury multifamily development in Miami.
Cushman & Wakefield’s Chris Lentz, Jeff Altenau, Chris Moyer, Susan Tjarksen, and Marc Royer represented Focus and Group Fox, both based in Chicago, in the transaction with Affinius Capital.
“With an unparalleled location in the heart of Miami’s most sought-after neighborhood, Brickell Starlite is uniquely positioned to redefine luxury apartment living in one of the nation’s strongest multifamily markets,” said Focus’ CEO and Founder Tim Anderson. “Brickell continues to solidify its reputation as a global epicenter for finance, culture and lifestyle, attracting affluent professionals and international residents seeking premium housing. Despite surging demand, new multifamily supply in Brickell, the most prominent submarket in Miami, remains extraordinarily limited, creating a significant opportunity for new development.”
“We target superior opportunities in locations with highly sustainable value. Brickell Starlite is a dream come true in this regard, and we’re excited to participate alongside a host of top-tier team members with the utmost talent and professionalism,” said Brad Muth, CEO of Group Fox.
Added Chris Lentz, Cushman & Wakefield Executive Director, “With the seasoned expertise of Focus and Group Fox, Brickell Starlite benefits from a development and management team with a proven track record of delivering high-quality, high-performing assets across the U.S. The property addresses the need for new multi-housing supply in a submarket that has seen minimal construction activity in recent years. Brickell Starlite fills a critical gap in the market by delivering much-needed inventory to Miami’s most desirable submarket. Brickell Starlite is perfectly positioned to redefine multifamily luxury while addressing the growing needs of residents seeking premium urban living.”
Brickell Starlite is located at 125 SW 8th St., and construction will commence before year end. The project’s strategic design and scale capitalize on the void of supply in the Brickell submarket, offering 517 Class-A+ units in a 39-story tower with market-leading amenities that cater to Brickell’s sophisticated demographic.
