BAM Developers and Ascendra Capital Open Seventeen Gables Sales Gallery in Coral Gables

Partners BAM Developers and Ascendra Capital are proud to announce the opening of their Seventeen Gables Sales Gallery, an immersive space designed to showcase the vision behind Seventeen Gables, the 117-unit attainable luxury condominium located at 1715 Douglas Road.

Located in the heart of Coral Gables at 120 Aragon Ave., the Sales Gallery reflects the sophisticated aesthetic that will define Seventeen Gables. Asprea Studio, led by acclaimed design architect and interior designer Karen Asprea, conceived both the project's interiors and the Sales Gallery, creating a seamless extension of the residential experience.

Blending timeless New York sophistication with Coral Gables' Mediterranean character, the space features warm natural materials, refined detailing and contemporary furnishings. A detailed scale model of the building, a full-scale model kitchen and curated displays allow visitors to explore the project’s architecture, interiors, premium finishes and elevated lifestyle.

"The Sales Gallery was designed to give buyers a true sense of what makes Seventeen Gables different," said Mayer Berkovits, founder and CEO of BAM Developers. "Construction began in April of this year, and opening the Sales Gallery marks the next step in bringing the project to life. Prospective buyers can now experience the project firsthand while seeing the momentum behind a community that is already taking shape.”

"Our commitment has always been to move forward with certainty," said David Steinberg, partner and CIO of Ascendra Capital. "Opening the Sales Gallery while construction is progressing demonstrates that commitment and gives buyers confidence that Seventeen Gables is thoughtfully envisioned and actively becoming a reality."

Seventeen Gables presents an opportunity to own new construction in one of South Florida's most desirable neighborhoods, with one-, two- and three-bedroom residences starting from the mid-$600,000s, a rarity for new construction in Coral Gables.

Anticipated to deliver in Q1 2028, the eight-story Seventeen Gables will become the tallest building in East Gables, offering uninterrupted panoramic views from the Coral Gables tree canopy to the Miami skyline. Each residence balances refined aesthetics with the needs of modern lifestyles, creating homes that are both elegant and efficient.

Residents will enjoy a collection of wellness and lifestyle amenities, including a state-of-the-art fitness center, sauna, resort-style pool, resident lounge, integrated co-working spaces, assigned parking and ground-floor retail.

Ideally situated at the intersection of 17th Street and Douglas Road, Seventeen Gables places residents within walking distance of Miracle Mile while providing convenient access to Downtown Miami, Brickell and Miami International Airport. Sales and marketing for the project are exclusively handled by Cervera Real Estate.

"As more new condominium developments cater to the ultra-luxury buyer, Seventeen Gables offers something increasingly rare in Coral Gables," said Jesse Ottley, President of Development Sales for Cervera Real Estate. "It combines thoughtful design, an exceptional location and an attainable price point without compromising on quality, creating a compelling opportunity for buyers."

First New Miami Building Breaks Ground in 2021

On Thursday, February 11th, Natiivo Miami - the first building purposefully designed, built and licensed for homesharing - officially broke ground in Downtown Miami. This event marked the first residential/hospitality groundbreaking post-pandemic and the first of 2021.  The building, in the heart of Downtown Miami, is slated to top off in August 2022 and completion is projected for Q3 of 2023.

Hospitality entrepreneurs Keith Menin and Marisa Galbut, developers of Natiivo Miami, spoke alongside Mayor Suarez to brokers, friends and family to mark this revolutionary development’s milestone of forging ahead with construction. Remarks were also made by Russell Galbut, Managing Principal of GFO Investments; and leaders from Natiivo’s exclusive sales team, Cervera Real Estate, including Alicia Cervera, Managing Partner;  Ali Paysse Cervera, Sales Director; and Jesse Ottley, President of Development.

Guests enjoyed live music by Brothers of Others, and coffee, pastries and light bites by Natiivo Miami’s culinary partners, Bodega and Dolce Italian. 

After coming to market in the summer of 2019, Natiivo™ Miami’s exclusive sales team, Cervera Real Estate, has successfully sold over 60 percent of the Natiivo™ Miami residences. The team has leveraged its knowledge of the Miami market and international experience, selling over 220 units in 2020, despite facing unprecedented circumstances.

Natiivo™ Miami is a vertically-integrated community that incorporates 448 condominium residences, 140 condominium hotel residences, a 100 unit hotel, a private social club called Natiivo™ Social, with 70,000 plus square feet of amenities, with a culinary experience curated by LDV Hospitality, and Creative HQ that includes 127 for-sale office condos, all under one roof. The development recently announced the addition of three coveted Miami brands, Dolce Mercato, also from LDV Hospitality, offering authentic Italian cuisine with the feel of a sophisticated food hall and the charm and service of a sit-down restaurant; Bodega Taqueria, South Florida’s iconic spot known for its authentic Mexican street food; and Gale Miami Hotel and Residences, the third Gale Hotel property in South Florida.

“With the migration to South Florida and the recent announcements of high-profile tech and finance companies relocating to and expressing interest in Miami, the continued growth of Downtown is imminent,” said Keith Menin. “We are confident that Natiivo™ Miami will play an integral role in this growth and are excited to forge ahead in construction. We’re optimistic for 2021 and hope to set the tone for the Downtown Miami market with the first groundbreaking of the year.”
