Ella is North Beach's love letter to the city's Art Deco golden age — a 10-story boutique condominium at 6940 Abbott Avenue that wraps 103 residences in a bold, modern design by Arquitectonica, with interiors by celebrated designer Steven G. Developed by Constellation Group in partnership with The Boschetti Group and Vietmar, the project broke ground in February 2025 after launching sales in June 2023, topped off in early 2026 at 70% sold, and is expected to complete in early 2027 — a timeline that has made it one of the neighborhood's most watched deliveries.
The residences — studios, one-bedrooms, and two-bedrooms from roughly 430 to 1,171 square feet, plus a $2.5 million penthouse with private elevator entry and a 1,000-square-foot terrace garden — are inspired by Miami's Deco heritage with thoroughly modern bones: private balconies, 9-foot ceilings, ItalKraft cabinetry, JennAir induction ranges, stone countertops, and designer closets. But Ella's real thesis is flexibility: short-term rentals are permitted, with rental management by Nomada, private beach club access through Boucher Brothers, and a wellness-driven amenity program — rooftop pool, cold plunge, sauna, fitness center, pickleball and paddle court, yoga and meditation deck, summer kitchen, observation lounge, and coworking spaces. Prices launched in the $480,000s, with remaining studios under $600,000 and two-bedrooms up to $2 million.
Ella Frequently Asked Questions
❯ Can I do short-term rentals at Ella?
Yes — short-term rentals are permitted, and the developer has partnered with Nomada for professional rental management. That makes Ella one of the few new North Beach buildings where an owner can buy a furnished studio in the $500,000s and put it straight into a rental program, alongside neighbors like NoBe Parc and 7200 Collins up the Abbott corridor.
❯ Are the residences furnished?
Select residences are offered fully furnished with designer packages that blend modern furnishings with the building's Art Deco-inspired architecture. Every home — furnished or not — includes ItalKraft cabinetry, JennAir induction cooking, stone countertops, premium Kohler and Toto fixtures, 9-foot ceilings, washers and dryers, and private terraces.
❯ How do I get to the beach?
Ella sits two blocks from the Atlantic in North Beach's Town Center district. Owners get private beach club access managed by Boucher Brothers — the longtime Miami Beach beach-service operator — plus complimentary beach cruisers, bike and beach-toy storage, and an outdoor shower for the ride home.
❯ What's the wellness amenity story?
Wellness is the amenity program's organizing principle: a rooftop pool with Downtown and ocean views, cold plunge and sauna, a fitness center, an outdoor yoga and meditation deck, and a pickleball/paddle court overlooking the Atlantic. Add the residents' lounge, summer kitchen, outdoor dining areas, and observation deck, and the building functions as a self-contained resort for its 103 households.
❯ Who are the developers, and what's their track record?
Constellation Group — led by managing principal Eduardo Otaola — partnered with The Boschetti Group and Vietmar on Ella, their first Miami Beach residential development. The firms are also collaborating with Arquitectonica on multiple Coral Gables projects, including CORA Merrick Park, and closed a $42.3 million construction loan for Ella through Amerant Bank.
❯ When will Ella be completed?
After breaking ground in February 2025 and topping off in early 2026 at 70% sold, completion is expected in early 2027. The original 2026 target from the 2023 sales launch was updated as construction progressed; the current early-2027 delivery reflects the actual build schedule.

Short-Term Rental Friendly
Ella was conceived for the way a generation of buyers actually uses a beach condo: part-time home, part-time income. The Nomada rental management, the furnished packages, the Boucher Brothers beach service, and the explicit short-term rental permission form a complete investor stack — buy a studio under $600,000, furnish it once, and let the building's location two blocks from the sand do the marketing.
The Rooftop
The tenth-floor amenity deck is Ella's signature space: a rooftop pool framing Downtown Miami on one side and the Atlantic on the other, with the cold plunge, sauna, and fitness center clustered around it. For a ten-story boutique, it's an outsized commitment — the kind of rooftop that in a larger tower would serve three times the households.
