The Hotel AKA Brickell recently played host to a cocktail party held by one of the world’s leading international Family Offices, Stonehage Fleming.
The event was staged to celebrate the opening of Stonehage Fleming’s new office in Florida.

Commenting on the evening, Johan van Niekerk said: “This is a new chapter for Stonehage Fleming that is especially meaningful for us as a team because it demonstrates our commitment to expanding our capabilities in the United States.
“Being here represents a fantastic opportunity. Miami is the undisputed gateway to Latin America and we are so excited to be able to offer a local presence that meets the needs of this important and growing segment of our client base.”
Stonehage Fleming’s office is located in the Brickell Avenue Financial District. Lowry Brescia has been appointed to the position of Client Relationship Manager and heads the Group’s Representative Office in Miami. She works alongside Johan van Niekerk and is responsible for the development and management of client relationships in key markets of both Florida and Latin America.
A Miami resident of over two decades, Lowry joined the Group in 2022 after having spent five years’ as Vice President of Operations a private commercial real estate investment Fund subsidiary of Lionheart Capital, where she managed the day-to-day operations of a 6 million square foot portfolio throughout the US.

At the same time, there has been a significant jump in private capital investments throughout the region, especially focusing on the digital infrastructure and renewable energy sectors. These unique set of circumstances have led to a sustained and growing demand for expert advice on a multi-jurisdictional level.”

Stonehage Fleming Hosts Cocktail Party to Celebrate Opening of Miami Office
The Hotel AKA Brickell recently played host to a cocktail party held by one of the world’s leading international Family Offices, Stonehage Fleming.
The event was staged to celebrate the opening of Stonehage Fleming’s new office in Florida. Guests representing Miami’s dynamic ultra-high net worth community enjoyed cocktails and conversation with Stonehage Fleming’s North American Leadership team, including Johan van Niekerk, Head of Family Office, US; Peter Rosenberg, Head of US offices in Philadelphia, PA and Mike Moodie, Head of Family Office for Canada in Toronto.
Commenting on the evening, Johan van Niekerk said: “This is a new chapter for Stonehage Fleming that is especially meaningful for us as a team because it demonstrates our commitment to expanding our capabilities in the United States.
“Being here represents a fantastic opportunity. Miami is the undisputed gateway to Latin America and we are so excited to be able to offer a local presence that meets the needs of this important and growing segment of our client base.”
Stonehage Fleming’s office is located in the Brickell Avenue Financial District. Lowry Brescia has been appointed to the position of Client Relationship Manager and heads the Group’s Representative Office in Miami. She works alongside Johan van Niekerk and is responsible for the development and management of client relationships in key markets of both Florida and Latin America.
A Miami resident of over two decades, Lowry joined the Group in 2022 after having spent five years’ as Vice President of Operations a private commercial real estate investment Fund subsidiary of Lionheart Capital, where she managed the day-to-day operations of a 6 million square foot portfolio throughout the US.

This is especially true for Latin-American families who have been dealing with political instability, ever changing tax regimes and insecurity for years. At the same time, there has been a significant jump in private capital investments throughout the region, especially focusing on the digital infrastructure and renewable energy sectors. These unique set of circumstances have led to a sustained and growing demand for expert advice on a multi-jurisdictional level.”
