LUXCOM Reveals 235-Unit Multifamily Development In Sunrise

Florida-based builder LUXCOM, led by CEO and Chairman Oscar Barbara, has revealed plans for a 235-unit multifamily rental community in Sunrise. Ideally located on the south and east sides of Sunrise's main crossroads of Oakland Park Boulevard and University Drive, the project will transform multiple abandoned and underutilized commercial parcels into a brand-new Class A multifamily garden-style development.

The project secured a $41 million construction loan last week and simultaneously broke ground the following day. Funding was provided by Centennial Bank. Centennial Bank has a longstanding relationship with LUXCOM and provided funding for its long list of multifamily, single-family, mixed-use, and townhome projects.

Situated on 10 acres, the market-rate rental project will encompass six three- and four-story buildings offering one, two and three-bedroom apartments ranging from 725 square feet to 1,371 square feet overlooking the fairways of the Seven Bridges golf course.

“With this development, we aim to reinvent the rental apartment experience by creating units with amenities found in luxury houses such as generous floorplans, dens, high ceilings, plenty of natural light, oversized windows, European-style kitchens with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, walk-in closets, and more," said Barbara. “We’re grateful that Centennial Bank recognized the need in the marketplace for this type of project that will add an elevated living experience to the area.”

The project’s design was inspired by the design of Rosemary Beach in Florida’s panhandle and will boast West Indies British Colonial design within its garden-like setting. Tenants will enjoy access to nearby conveniences such as a new Aldi Supermarket, Walgreens Pharmacy, SunTrust Bank, restaurants, and multiple entertainment venues.

LUXCOM designed the project with today's younger families and professionals in mind offering a clubhouse, resort-style pool and cabanas, theater room, state-of-the-art gym with yoga studio, private rooms for events and entertaining, children’s playroom, community dog parks, WiFi hotspots, car charging stations, garages, a citrus garden, and more.

Avison Young's Florida Capital Markets Group Oversees FPL In $33 Million Sale Of ±71-Acre Development Site In East Miami-Dade

Avison Young’s Florida Capital Markets Group has negotiated the $33 million sale of a ±71-acre trophy development site on behalf of Florida Power & Light (FPL) at 6525 SW 152 St., positioned at the 67 Ave. and 148 St. intersection, in Miami-Dade County’s Palmetto Bay, Florida. Avison Young Principals Michael T. Fay, who is also Managing Director of the firm’s Miami operations; John K. Crotty, CCIM; David Duckworth; Senior Vice President Jay A. Ziv; and Senior Associate Brian de la Fé completed the disposition of the property to developer Oscar Barbara, CEO and Chairman of LUXCOM.

“The 71-acre land parcel is the largest most recently on the market east of US-1 and is as close to a developmental anomaly ever presented in Miami-Dade County,” said Fay. “The site is ideally positioned adjacent to Deering Bay Yacht and Country Club in the foremost area of Palmetto Bay’s residential section and is the last major waterfront property with direct access to the ocean with no bridges and a marina basin in the entire county. Interest was brisk from local, national, and international investors. Ultimately, we successfully secured a mutually beneficial deal with a local buyer.”
