MIAMI—The Brickell district of Miami is one of the fastest growing areas of Miami and specifically West Brickell is beginning to see new development projects break ground, particularly mixed-use hotel development projects.

Leading the way is Miami-based Habitat Group, led by its founder, CEO and president Santiago Vanegas. The firm is behind three major development projects in West Brickell— Smart Brickell, which recently broke ground, the Millux Hotels and Brickell Lux.
