Built World Podcast

Carlos Rosso - Founder & CEO, Rosso Development

Ben Hoffman & Felipe Azenha

Carlos joined us on the podcast over a classic Negroni to share his remarkable journey as a real estate developer. Hailing from a family of architects in Buenos Aires, Carlos earned his architecture degree at the University of Buenos Aires before spending a decade in the Middle East with Besix, mastering the art of construction. His journey then took him to Boston, where he earned a Master’s in Real Estate Development from MIT.

In South Florida, Carlos became a pivotal figure in the industry during his nearly 20-year tenure at Related Group as Jorge Pérez’s right hand, serving as the President of Condo Development. During this time, he oversaw the creation of some of Miami’s most iconic projects, including SLS Lux, SLS Brickell, Brickell Heights, Residences by Armani/Casa, and the Paraiso complex in Edgewater, culminating in over 16,000 units developed.

Since launching Rosso Development in 2020, Carlos has honed his focus on high-end boutique properties. One standout project is a collaboration with Standard International and Midtown Development—a stunning 12-story condominium with 228 units. With a commitment to enhancing Miami's urban landscape, Carlos is deeply invested in Midtown's evolution, envisioning mixed-use developments that bridge communities and promote walkability.

Carlos is also an Advisory Board Member for the University of Miami's Masters in Real Estate Development and Urbanism program.
