May 14th, 2025 – In a city known for its heritage, charm, and uncompromising aesthetic, a new residential address is poised to redefine modern living. CORA Merrick Park, a 13-story boutique development by Constellation Group and The Boschetti Group, marks a significant milestone for Coral Gables real estate—the neighborhood’s first wellness-centric, mixed-use residential condominium.

Set within the sophisticated Merrick Park district, this $900,000s-and-up collection of 74 residences is more than just a luxury address—it’s a blueprint for future-forward living rooted in holistic well-being, environmental design, and seamless access to world-class retail, dining, and culture. Douglas Elliman Development Marketing serves as the exclusive broker for residential sales and marketing at CORA.

At CORA, wellness is not an amenity—it’s the foundation. The project is the result of a strategic partnership with Lamarca Well, a renowned European wellness consultancy that has advised on the building's design from the ground up. Their influence is evident across every square foot—from advanced air and water filtration systems to biophilic interiors, smart red light therapy, and built-in health monitoring technology.

Residences, which range from one-bedrooms to three-bedroom plus den homes, span 678 to 2,651 square feet, with interiors designed by Urban Robot to reflect European elegance and understated luxury. Think 10-foot ceilings, Italkraft kitchens in natural stone and wood, Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, and floor plans that draw in sunlight through expansive windows.

Every unit comes with assigned parking, and select layouts offer private balconies, further integrating indoor-outdoor harmony into the living experience.

Wellness extends well beyond the threshold of each home. CORA introduces a curated suite of next-generation amenities, including:

• The first rooftop padel court in Coral Gables
  

• A state-of-the-art fitness center with recovery and performance equipment
  

• A full-service spa experience: steam room, sauna, hot and cold plunge pools
  

• A resort-style pool with private cabanas
  

• A yoga and meditation terrace for mindful movement
  

• An expansive wellness concierge program, guiding residents through the property’s integrated health features

In addition, CORA offers thoughtful lifestyle infrastructure such as a coworking lounge, executive boardroom, resident tea salon, media lounge with catering kitchen, and outdoor kitchen and dining areas—all designed to foster connection, creativity, and balance.

Designed by Arquitectonica, CORA reimagines classic Mediterranean architecture for a wellness-oriented future. Facades feature oolite natural stone, bronze accents, and architectural elements that evoke both timeless elegance and modern simplicity. Graceful paseos, warm textures, and carefully framed views make every space feel both restorative and refined.

Outside, CORA’s cultural contribution to the city will take shape in a 5,000-square-foot public park featuring a permanent sculpture by internationally acclaimed artist Jaume Plensa. The addition aims to enrich Coral Gables’ artistic identity and connect residents and visitors alike through shared cultural experiences.

Positioned at 4241 Aurora Street, CORA anchors itself in the heart of The Village of Merrick Park, one of South Florida’s most esteemed retail and lifestyle corridors. Residents will enjoy walkable access to The Shops at Merrick Park, surrounded by curated retail, chef-driven restaurants, and serene green spaces—all just minutes from Downtown Coral Gables and a short drive from Miami’s major hubs.

The development also includes 8,000 square feet of ground-floor retail and 13,000 square feet of office space across the second and third floors, offering flexibility and convenience for those seeking to blend home, work, and well-being.
