A Miami entity headed by Carlos Mattos paid $203 per square foot for 31 units at the 1060 Brickell condominium in Miami's financial district, according to Condo Vultures® LLC.

Mattos' newly created 1060 Brickell Apartments LLC paid nearly $6.1 million without financing for four studio units, 22 one-bedroom units, and five two-bedroom units with a combined 29,913 square feet of livable space, according to Condo Vultures® LLC.

"We have reason to believe that 1060 Brickell has about 200 units under contract and/or closing as we speak," said Peter Zalewski, a principal with the Bal Harbour, Fla.-based real estate consultancy Condo Vultures®. "In the last week, 1060 has closed 58 units including the 31 from this bulk deal. It will be interesting to see what our second quarter closing rate report for new condos in Greater Downtown Miami will show."
