Okan Tower, a proposed 700-foot-tall mixed-use project, will break ground in June following a pause in construction due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Bekir Okan, chairman of the Istanbul-based Okan Group, announced that sales were relaunched for the Miami project, at 555 N. Miami Ave.. during a Monday press conference at Okan Tower Miami Residences’ sales office.
Edgardo Defortuna, president of Miami-based Fortune International Group, whose company was tapped to head sales for Okan Tower, declined to say how many units have been sold so far.
“We restarted two-and-a-half months ago. It is a big tower with a lot of units,” Defortuna told the Business Journal. “We’ve been pleased with the response so far, but we have a long [way] to go.”
