Summary
META Development, a Miami-based boutique developer, announced on November 9, 2026 that it is conducting active sales transactions through UNYT, white-label transaction infrastructure for real estate. The platform is live across the sales websites for OPUS Coconut Grove (opuscoconutgrove.com) and Colette Residences (lifeatcolette.com). UNYT was founded by META Development CEO Andrew Rasken, according to the company's release, distributed via PRWeb.
The announcement positions UNYT as a response to a gap in the property transaction process. While digital marketing and property discovery have advanced, the transaction itself often still relies on separate tools and manual steps. UNYT aims to connect online property discovery with the transaction process, giving developers, buyers, brokers, attorneys, escrow agents and closing teams one integrated platform managing the entire transaction from reservation through closing. Developers can offer the platform under their own branding and tailor access by participant role.
Fabio Brunelli, head of sales and marketing at META Development, said the industry has invested heavily in making real estate easier to discover and that the priority now is making it easier to transact. Rasken said running META's own sales on UNYT was "the only honest way to prove it works." The rollout extends META's "Go Boutique" philosophy, which emphasizes design, privacy and personalization, into the buying experience, with the stated aim of helping buyers and their representatives track where a purchase stands and coordinate with the parties involved.
Dr. David Brock, founding chief technology officer of UNYT and a co-founder of the MIT Auto-ID Center, said critical processes such as reservations, contracts, attorney review, commission management and closing coordination are often handled across disconnected systems. He said working with META in a live environment allows UNYT to validate the technology with real transactions and scale across property types and transaction models. UNYT states that buyer deposits remain in the escrow company's trust account and that the platform never holds funds.
META's portfolio includes OPUS Coconut Grove, 14 residences designed by Kobi Karp with interiors by João Armentano, under construction and slated for completion in 2027, and Colette Residences, a five-story, 34-residence condominium on Brickell Avenue designed by Brazilian firm OSPA, slated for completion in 2028. According to the release, UNYT is actively testing with multiple developers, and the company describes its capabilities as spanning residential, commercial and mixed-use property types. The announcement is a company press release and the operational claims have not been independently verified.
