Construction is steadily advancing on CORA Merrick Park, a 13-story, 74-unit condominium rising at 4241 Aurora Street in Coral Gables. The boutique project is blending wellness-focused residential design with ground-floor retail and a 5,000-square-foot public park anchored by a large-scale sculpture. Developers are targeting a 2028 completion and are dangling perks like a rooftop pool, red-light therapy and what they describe as Coral Gables’ first rooftop padel court.
Who’s building it
Developers Constellation Group and The Boschetti Group are steering the project, with Arquitectonica as architect and Urban Robot overseeing interiors, according to Cora Merrick Park. The building is being marketed as a WELL-certified, wellness-first community that emphasizes air and water purification systems, low-VOC materials and careful acoustic design. Douglas Elliman Development Marketing is listed as the exclusive sales and marketing firm for CORA.
Units and pricing
The 74 residences span one- to three-bedroom floor plans that run roughly from 678 to 2,651 square feet, with certain layouts offering lanais that stretch well past 1,000 square feet, per local listings and project materials. Pricing starts at about $900,000 and reaches above $4 million, as reported by South Florida Agent Magazine. Sales launched in 2025, and the development team is courting both full-time residents and second-home buyers who want walkable proximity to Merrick Park.
Amenities and public art
The amenity lineup leans heavily into wellness: a rooftop pool with cabanas, a full spa outfitted with an infrared sauna and hot and cold plunge pools, a full-scale fitness center and red-light therapy installations among other features. The building will also add Coral Gables’ first rooftop padel court and a significant amount of ground-floor retail and office space, according to Modern Luxury. At street level, the plan calls for a 5,000-square-foot landscaped park centered on a sculpture by Jaume Plensa, a piece the developers unveiled at the Coral Gables Museum before its planned installation, per Coral Gables Magazine.
Sales progress and the site
Developers recently reported that the building is roughly 30 percent presold and that they remain on schedule for a 2028 delivery, according to Florida YIMBY. The project occupies about 0.68 acres, a site size noted in public property records and databases such as Redfin. With approvals secured and a sales gallery in operation, the development team says CORA will plug directly into the Shops at Merrick Park pedestrian corridor.
Permits and neighborhood context
The Coral Gables City Commission signed off on the mixed-use plan in late 2023, clearing the way for construction, according to a developer press release on the vote. Constellation Group and The Boschetti Group have cast the project as a Mediterranean-style complement to Merrick Park’s surrounding retail and cultural offerings, according to The Boschetti Group. A sales gallery opened last fall at 4200 Laguna Street, giving potential buyers a detailed look at interior finishes and the planned wellness programming, per ProfileMiami.
For Coral Gables, CORA represents a high-end, wellness-focused addition that rolls public art, retail and residences into a single block of the city’s shopping district. Neighbors and would-be buyers will be watching over the next two years as the site inches toward the planned 2028 finish line.
