About
Terra Group
Terra is a Miami developer that has made design its defining language. Founded in 2001 by David Martin and his father Pedro Martin, the company has built a portfolio exceeding 23 million square feet across luxury condominiums, waterfront residences, multifamily, retail and hospitality. Working with architects including Bjarke Ingels, Rem Koolhaas and Renzo Piano, Terra is known for a considered, often "right-sized" approach that prioritises design quality and neighbourhood character over sheer density.
Terra was founded in 2001 by David Martin and his father Pedro Martin, building on the family's long history in South Florida real estate. Under David Martin as Co-Founder and CEO, the firm grew into one of the region's most respected developers, with a portfolio spanning more than 23 million square feet and a development pipeline valued in the billions.
The company is vertically integrated across nearly every asset class - luxury condominiums, single-family homes, multifamily and workforce housing, retail, office, hospitality and industrial - and is concentrated almost entirely in South Florida. This focus has allowed Terra to build deep expertise in the market and a reputation for projects that respond carefully to their surroundings.
Terra's defining trait is design ambition. Signature projects include Grove at Grand Bay by Bjarke Ingels, Park Grove by Rem Koolhaas's OMA, Five Park in Miami Beach, the transit-oriented Grove Central, and wellness- and hospitality-branded developments such as The WELL Coconut Grove and Mr. C Residences. The firm has been named Developer of the Year by the South Florida Business Journal and Architect Magazine.
