Cast upon more than an acre and a half within The Windmill Ranch Estates community, the impeccable landscaping of this property has been both thoughtfully designed and meticulously maintained. The verdant outdoor living space features a stunning butterfly sanctuary, many Floridian flowering plants, as well as sheltering bushes and shrubs, have been carefully chosen to create an ideal environment for all types of butterflies to flourish, including the homes namesake: Firebush, Lantanas, Firecracker plant, Texas Sage, Pentas, Mexican Heather, and Jatropha.

SCAROFA Properties, a third-generation family business, has begun construction on Pine Park Villas, a luxury townhome enclave in the Village of Pinecrest featuring a limited collection of 18 residences. The private community is the unique vision of Stephane Rosarion, principal of Miami-based SCAROFA Properties, which is developing the $32 million project.
“We look forward to the completion of our first new luxury residential project in the Village of Pinecrest. Pine Park Villas represents the tranquility and exquisiteness of Pinecrest while at the same time setting a new standard for luxury townhome living,” said Stephane Rosarion of SCAROFA Properties. “When completed, Pine Park Villas will provide a sophisticated lifestyle that the most discerning residents will appreciate, including a private and enclosed community with direct access to renowned shopping districts like The Falls, and Dadeland Mall, as well as some of Miami’s best restaurants and entertainment venues.”
“This project is an excellent addition to our community which continues to be one of Florida’s most sought-after neighborhoods due to our top-rated schools, amenities, shopping venues and public parks,” said Joseph Corradino, Mayor of the Village of Pinecrest. “Like few other places, our city has been able to evolve while maintaining our character and enhancing our quality of life.”
The property encompasses more than two acres and will be marked by coastal contemporary architecture by MAS+ (Miami Architectural Studio). Slated for completion in 2023, Pine Park Villas, located at 7520 Southwest 100th St., is already proving to be a draw for well-heeled homebuyers who are singling out the property for its unparalleled location and sophisticated floor plans.
Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices (BHHS) EWM Realty, one of the nation’s leading luxury residential real estate companies, is the exclusive marketing and sales brokerage for Pine Park Villas. BHHS EWM top-producing team The Levy Group, oversees sales, with Adam Levy and Alexander Isaia leading the charge.
“Pine Park Villas is a rarity for the area, which has a limited collection of suburban multifamily residences,” said Patrick O’Connell, Senior Vice President of Business Development at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices EWM Realty. “This will be the ultimate retreat for astute buyers looking to capture the best of both worlds.”
“The $10.4 million loan to SCAROFA Properties to build luxury townhomes in Pinecrest exemplifies what Ocean Bank is all about. We are a relationship driven bank and want to be part of our client’s story and journey to success,” said Ryan Welsh, vice president and manager of the Fort Lauderdale branch of Ocean Bank.
Starting at $1.67 million, all residences average over 3,500 square feet in size and will have four bedrooms, three baths, and two powder rooms, making them ideal alternatives to single-family homes. Comprising three stories with private elevators, each unit will be delivered turnkey, with buyers having the option to choose between three unique floor plans. Additional highlights include two-car garages, multi-level living spaces, ample bedrooms with walk-in closets, kitchens with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances and designer, Italian cabinetry by Mia Cucina, and private rear yards. Pine Park Villas is conveniently located with access to downtown Miami, Coral Gables and Miami International Airport.
The general contractor for Pine Park Villas is JAXI Builders, Inc.; the architect is MAS+ (Miami Architectural Studio); interior design is by Michael Garcia-Carrillo from GC3 Group; and Ken Gardner from GSLA Design is the landscape architect. Ryan Welsh arranged construction financing for Pine Park Villas; Ocean Bank originated a $10.4 million loan. Roberto F. Fleitas III from Fleitas PLLC provided legal counsel.

In recognition for their decades of work building transformative, large-scale projects that have helped reshape the South Florida skyline, The Urban Land Institute Southeast Florida/Caribbean has presented Thomas P. Murphy, Jr. and the Murphy Family with the prestigious 2022 Lifetime Achievement Award.
The Lifetime Achievement Award honors the top leaders and visionaries whose lifetime of work has significantly shaped communities and changed the industry. The award ceremony will take place at ULI's annual Vision Awards, the organization’s signature event, on September 15th at the JW Marriot Marquis Hotel in Downtown Miami with over 700 confirmed real estate industry leaders in attendance.
Previous Lifetime Achievement Award recipients include: Craig Robins, Bernardo Fort Brescia & Laurinda Spear, Ricardo Glas & Luis Pulenta, Stephen Owens, The Legacy of Tony Goldman, The Whitman Family, The Graham Family, Armando Codina, and Jorge Perez among others.
“On behalf of the local District Council’s leadership, we are thrilled to present the 2022 Lifetime Achievement Award to The Murphy Family. The family’s work embodies our organization’s mission to shape the future of the built environment for transformative impact in communities,” Julie Medley, Executive Director, ULI SE Florida/Caribbean.
Award-winning Coastal Construction Group and the Murphy Family have been building projects throughout Florida for more than five decades making a profound impact on both the landscape and local economy, with a body of professional and civic work that has created thousands of jobs and opportunities for advancement for many in the land use industry.
Among the company’s distinguished portfolio are more than 60 hotels and resorts in Florida, including the Four Seasons Hotel and Residences at the Surf Club; St. Regis Resort & Residences Bal Harbor; Ritz Carlton Hotel South Beach; Faena Hotel and Residences; 1450 Brickell; Camillus House; Porsche Design Tower; Fendi Chateau; Oceana Condos; Residences by Armani/Casa; Aston Martin Residences; and The Plaza Coral Gables.

Today, Coastal has more than $3.5 billion in current work, and a 3‐year pipeline in excess of $12 billion with operations in Miami, Palm Beach, Naples, Orlando, Tampa, and the Florida Keys.
“My family and I are extremely proud to receive this recognition which would not have been made possible without the hard work, dedication and support of our entire team at Coastal Construction Group. On behalf of all us at Coastal Construction Group, I want to thank ULI for this tremendous honor,” said Thomas P. Murphy, Jr. Chairman and CEO Coastal Construction Group.
Murphy, Jr, began his career while attending the University of Miami, becoming the youngest person in Florida’s history to earn his contractor’s license at the age of 19. Soon thereafter, he dropped out of school and started his own company. Eventually, growing Seaboard Construction to more than 1,500 employees and before selling it to Turner Construction Company, the largest contractor in the U.S.
He later founded Coastal in 1989, and today, 54 years since his first project, the company has become one of the largest general contractors in Florida.
Today, his son’s Tom C. Murphy and Sean Murphy serve as Co‐Presidents, Patrick Erin Murphy, Executive Vice President and Mike Murphy, Vice President of QA/QC and there are 10 family members active in the company and hundreds of others who may not share the same surname, but share the same sense of pride and unabashed desire to build quality projects.

The Allen Morris Company, Xenel International U.S.A. and Principal Real Estate Investors have closed on a $57.2 million construction loan for The Maxwell at Xentury City, a 311-unit multifamily development located in Osceola County. The loan is being provided by Regions Bank. The Maxwell at Xentury City broke ground in September and has a completion date set for the second quarter of 2024. The General Contractor for the project is Deangelis Diamond.
It will be the first residential phase of a larger 200-acre mixed-use development in Xentury City that will offer live, work, play offerings like first-class dining, entertainment, and now, a residential offering.
The 293,000 square feet community will contain five garden-style buildings with a total of 311 residential units and features world-class amenities throughout. The project site is adjacent to the Gaylord Palms Resort and Convention Center.
“We are very pleased to expand our relationship with Regions Bank for the construction loan of The Maxwell – Regions was steadfast throughout the process and provided a strong execution for the partnership,” said Spencer Morris, President of the Allen Morris Company.
“We are proud to be the Allen Morris Company’s lending partner to start construction on a project that will transform the area into a thriving multifamily destination,” adds Mercedes Montalvo, Senior Vice President, of Regions Bank.
“From our early conversations with Allen Morris, Principal Real Estate Investors gained a lot of confidence in being culturally aligned along with Allen Morris’ ability to execute on The Maxwell development plan. We have been watching this area of Orlando evolve and are excited to partner with the team they’ve put together as well as the opportunity to extend our relationship with Regions. Principal believes in the strong fundamentals within this market and looks forward to delivering a first-class multi-family community.” adds Rob Klinkner, Managing Director for Principal Real Estate Investors.
Dwell Design Studio, an award-winning architecture, planning and interior design firm, and Shim Studios as interior designer will spearhead the project.
The Maxwell at Xentury City is close to all the theme parks including Disney World and Universal Studios and has developed a major transportation network to access the site. The site is also 30 minutes from Downtown Orlando and 20 minutes from Orlando International Airport.
Miami Condo Developer Changing The Game
Miami is a mecca for global consumers seeking year-round sunshine, nightlife, and culture, framed by endless sophistication. From stunning scenery and pristine beaches, the Magic City is a feast for the senses. While developers and hospitality visionaries are playing a prominent role making Miami the most photogenic and desirable city to live, work and play, an evolutionary approach to condo ownership is changing the real estate game, led by Harvey Hernandez, founder and CEO of Miami’s Newgard Development Group.
Miami is a mecca for global consumers seeking year-round sunshine, nightlife, and culture, framed by endless sophistication. From stunning scenery and pristine beaches, the Magic City is a feast for the senses.
While developers and hospitality visionaries are playing a prominent role making Miami the most photogenic and desirable city to live, work and play, an evolutionary approach to condo ownership is changing the real estate game, led by Harvey Hernandez, founder and CEO of Miami’s Newgard Development Group. Hernandez is betting on next-generation condos and his latest, LOFTY Brickell, delivers fully finished and furnished turn-key residences purposefully designed and licensed to be shared in the heart of Brickell, along the riverfront.
Hernandez is known for creating signature towers with contemporary designs and a curated lifestyle in unbeatable locations – from Miami to Austin. LOFTY - scheduled to break ground later this year - is set to elevate city living to an art form, unlike anything Miami has ever experienced.
“We recognize we’re in a state of tremendous transition, and increasing numbers of people are discovering they can live and work from anywhere,” says Hernandez, who has spent more than 20 years revitalizing high-end residential markets and developing innovative properties.
With this increased demand, Hernandez is making strides with concepts like Natiivo Austin and Natiivo Miami. Both condominiums, which debuted four years ago, are the first towers created exclusively for flexible ownership and home-sharing – and set the precedent for developers to monetize units in a unique way. It is no surprise the two condominiums sold out completely before breaking ground, attracting buyers with its then-innovative concept.
Today, Nativvo is accessible via all homestay platforms offering bespoke amenities, 24/7 services, and access to a proprietary app for owners to seamlessly manage personal use and third-party bookings. National demand for short-term rentals continue to boom, spurred by the freedom to work remotely, allowing Newgard to have dreamt up a successful concept before its time.
Now, with the addition of LOFTY to his portfolio, Hernandez is becoming one of the most talked-about developers, known for tapping coveted relationships with bold-faced names like Paulo Bacchi, CEO of Artefacto, for a first-ever branded PH collection.
He also partnered with internationally renowned multidisciplinary artist Carlos Betancourt to offer the first-ever NFT art collection designed for condo owners.
“This significant investment in next-generation art aligns with our forward-thinking vision for the future of home ownership,” says Hernandez. “Whether our owners are already NFT collectors or new to the space, this first-of-its-kind offering will create memorable shared experiences for our residents while delivering added value to our buyer’s portfolios.”
With a name synonymous with luxury real estate and decades of experience selling Miami, it is no surprise Cervera Real Estate is the exclusive sales and marketing agent for Nativvo and LOFTY. “It is truly an honor to partner with Harvey and help bring his vision to life,” says Alicia Cervera, managing partner. “We are excited to see the long-term impact of these game-changing towers.”

CocoWalk has announced the highly anticipated opening of Narbona Restaurant & Farm Market, a family-owned, epicurean specialty market and restaurant originating in Uruguay in 1909. The concept combines organic ingredients from its farms for a unique farm-to-table culinary experience and retail section where customers can purchase their farm-raised products to enjoy at home.
Situated on the ground-floor of CocoWalk, the 8,253-square-foot specialty market and eatery features a butcher shop, bakery and curated retail market with a wide selection of gourmet cheeses, craft beers, wines, and coffees – all produced in its farms in South America. Specializing in homemade and artisanal products, Narbona produces its own dulce de leche, gelatos, and yogurts. Facing the plaza, the 200-seat café has an expansive indoor and outdoor dining area, where guests can enjoy breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner and sip on handcrafted cocktails. Patrons seeking a more intimate setting can host group dinners and events in Narbona’s private room. A haven for enophiles and cheese lovers, the epicurean market also hosts a variety of tastings, in which guests can indulge and sample different wines, coffees and specialty cheeses.
“Although our dream began in Uruguay, we are thrilled to open in the heart of Coconut Grove because it’s an established neighborhood that places great emphasis on a healthy and organic lifestyle, which perfectly aligns with the freshly grown produce and high-quality, specialty foods we serve,” said Jerónimo Canton, owner of Narbona. “Our main goal is to share our family’s way of life, which is to find the perfect pairing for each moment, offering sensory experiences that last a lifetime. We believe our arrival to CocoWalk comes at an ideal time as the destination continues to attract locals and visitors back to the center Grove.”
The ambiance will center around treating patrons like neighbors and providing them with superior customer service as they select and taste the market’s high-quality products and enjoy freshly prepared foods from its dining menu. Encompassing the essence of true farm-to-table dining, the brand’s wines, cheeses, yogurts, olive oil and pastas are made from locally sourced, fresh ingredients from Narbona’s Winery and Farm in Uruguay, fusing technology, experience and tradition.
Narbona’s robust restaurant menu features starters such as Galician style octopus, traditional homemade empanadas and hamachi tiradito. The menu also offers brick oven baked Uruguayan pizzas, and freshly prepared pastas like spinach and potato gnocchi in a gorgonzola sauce with crispy prosciutto, baby arugula and salted walnuts and shrimp and crab ravioli with heirloom cherry tomatoes and basil in a creamy, spicy pink sauce. Signature dishes include organic half chicken with house salad and French fries, Entrañita comprised of a 12oz prime skirt steak with sweet baked potato and chimichurri sauce, the Cowboy 22oz steak with roasted potatoes, and Branzino served with grilled vegetables and gremolada dip. Customers are encouraged to save room for Narbona’s freshly made desserts including gelatos, crepes filled with its signature artisanal dulce de leche, and its famed baked meringue-based Pavlova Narbona.
The opening of Narbona at CocoWalk marks the concept’s second location in South Florida. Following the success of its first location in Key Biscayne, the restaurant continues to expand throughout South Florida with outposts set to open in Wynwood and Boca Raton.
Narbona Coconut Grove joins a line-up of retailers and restaurants at CocoWalk including popular brands: Bluemercury, FP Movement, Edward Beiner, Europann, Edite Mode, The Spot Barbershop and School of Rock.
