CI Financial I 830 Brickell in Miami
Canadian asset and wealth management behemoth CI Financial will open its new U.S. headquarters at 830 Brickell in Miami’s Brickell Financial District.
Toronto-based CI Financial leased roughly 20,000 square feet at the 55-story tower under construction. Kurt MacAlpine is CEO of CI Financial.
Vladislav Doronin’s OKO Group and London-based Cain International are developing the high-rise, slated for completion in 2022.

CI Financial, which has roughly $300 billion of assets under management, will become the second largest registered investment adviser based in Florida, after Raymond James, according to a news release.
The Canadian firm’s move to Brickell comes as South Florida is becoming a magnet for both financial and tech firms, with 830 Brickell attracting some of these tenants.

The bank, which has $1.9 trillion in assets, leased 2,373 square feet at 3385 Pan American Drive along Dinner Key. It moved from its nearby storefront at 2665 South Bayshore Drive.
The Treo Group, based in Miami, is developing Regatta Harbour on 9.5 acres with 100,000 square feet of entertainment, retail and restaurants.

The facility now includes a 400-slip dry storage, which was reconfigured from a previous dry storage; new launch points and lifts; two floating docks with 700 feet of transient floating dockage; and a new fueling station.
Future development also will preserve and renovate airplane hangars that were used as the first continental Naval air station in the early 1900s and then by Pan Am Airways. The project is expected to be finished in 2022.
The Wells Fargo lease comes on the heels of Anatomy – a fitness center with wellness and beauty services – opening space at Regatta Harbour in May.
