Nelson Stabile | Starting Integra, Building St. Regis Brickell, & Scaling a $500M Marina Portfolio

In this episode of Miami DealMakers, Omar Morales sits down with Nelson Stabile, co-founder of Integra, to trace his path from corporate America and a scrappy cabinetry venture to building one of South Florida’s most respected development firms. They cover early risk-taking, lessons from the 2008 crisis, and how partnerships with Paulo Melo and later Victor Ballestas shaped Integra’s diversified, disciplined growth across condos, market-rate and affordable rentals, and a white-glove marina platform (now approaching half a billion in assets). Nelson shares the decade-long St. Regis Brickell story—from acquiring a HUD-restricted site and relocating 222 seniors to a new 270-unit community, to launching a 152-residence ultra-luxury tower with Related Group—plus why “location, timing, and basis” beats old clichés. The conversation boils down to a candid blueprint: be resourceful, take measured risks, build complementary teams, capitalize conservatively, and stay relentlessly action-oriented—because in real estate, execution and relationships compound.
