Armina Stone’s story began in Pittsburgh, built on craftsmanship, relationships and a commitment to delivering exceptional stonework for residential and commercial projects alike. Over the past decade, that locally rooted company has grown into a nationally recognized force in luxury interiors and large-scale commercial spaces expanding into South Florida while continuing to call Pittsburgh home.

While Armina Stone has long been known throughout the Pittsburgh region for its work in luxury homes and commercial developments including the transformational renovations at Nemacolin Resort and the North Shore’s Landing Hotel, the company’s expansion into Miami opened the door to projects on an entirely new scale.

One of the company’s most high-profile milestones came through its partnership with the Miami HEAT and the renovations of Kaseya Center. As part of Phase One, Armina Stone was entrusted with the stonework and millwork for 52 luxury loges and 20 private suites, sophisticated hospitality spaces designed to elevate the game-day experience for some of the venue’s most exclusive guests. Richly detailed stone surfaces and custom-crafted finishes showcased Armina’s ability to execute large-scale luxury design at the highest level helping redefine the premium atmosphere inside one of the NBA’s most recognizable arenas.

That success led directly to Phase Two, where Armina Stone was awarded the stonework and millwork for four of the arena’s newly redesigned courtside luxury clubs. The project showcased the company’s ability to execute highly detailed work under demanding timelines while maintaining the elevated level of craftsmanship expected in world-class entertainment venues.

Behind the scenes, Armina’s Director of Operations, Karla Martinez, played a pivotal role in managing the project’s coordination and execution alongside Armina’s installation teams.

“These projects require an incredible amount of collaboration, precision and trust,” says Karla Martinez. “From project management to installation, our team took tremendous pride in bringing these spaces to life. Seeing our work become part of such an iconic venue was a defining moment for all of us.”

The visibility and success of the Kaseya Center renovations led to additional large-scale opportunities across South Florida, including stonework for Miami Freedom Park, the future home of Inter Miami CF. Armina Stone has also expanded its commercial and residential portfolio through projects including the The Ritz-Carlton Bal Harbour, Miami residence tower and the University of Miami Centennial Village.

In addition to these large institutions, Armina Stone has become a trusted partner for luxury retail and showroom environments throughout South Florida completing stonework for Ferguson showrooms from West Palm Beach to Miami, as well as high-end spaces for Maison & Co.

“Our growth into South Florida has been incredibly rewarding, but Pittsburgh will always be who we are,” says Armina’s founder and CEO Emre Basman. “This company was built here, our headquarters remain here, and the values that shaped us in Pittsburgh continue to guide every project we take on across the country. We’re proud to represent this city on a national stage.”
