OKO Group

The OKO Group is an international real estate development firm created by Vladislav Doronin.[1]

History

Doronin founded the Miami-based OKO Group in 2015.[2] The company develops real estate projects in Miami and New York. In early 2016, OKO opened an office in Miami’s Design District at 4100 Northeast Second Avenue. The office spans about 3500 square feet.[3] The word “oko” means eye in Proto-Slavic and the name expresses Doronin’s vision.[4]

Current Projects

In 2014, Vladislav Doronin and a partner paid $48 million[5] to purchase a 44-year-old condo that overlooks Biscayne Bay in Miami at 175 S.E. 25th Street.[6] The building, built in 1971, sits on close to an acre of Bayfront property with 150 feet of waterfront. The OKO Group plans to build a 47-story luxury condo building on the site.[7]

In October 2016, Vladislav Doronin and the OKO Group announced that they had hired Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture to design this condo tower. This will be the architecture firm’s first project in Miami.[6]

In July 2016, the firm announced a luxury residential development of a 649-foot, 57-story tower, Missoni Baia. The project is located at 700 Northeast 26th Terrace.[8] This will be the first residential project for the Italian fashion house, Missoni, with their home collection and colorful designs used throughout the building’s public spaces. The building’s architect, Hani Rashid of Asymptote Architecture, was inspired by modern minimalist artists, Sol LeWitt, Dan Flavin and James Turrell. The project’s landscaping is by Swiss landscape architect Enzo Enea.[9] and the interiors were designed by New York-based Paris Forino.[10]

In November 2016, the OKO Group paid $54 million for a 2-acre piece of land fronting Biscayne Bay, Florida. The property at 720 Northeast 27th Street was purchased from Jesuit Fathers of the Province of the Antilles. The property has a total of 475 feet of water frontage.[11]
