Major Food Group (MFG), led by the creative forces and Co Founders Mario Carbone, Jeff Zalaznick, and Rich Torrisi of some of America’s most celebrated restaurants, is partnering with powerhouse developer and builder JDS Development Group, led by Chief Executive Michael Stern, to conceive, build, and operate MAJOR.

Major Food Group (MFG), led by the creative forces and Co Founders Mario Carbone, Jeff Zalaznick, and Rich Torrisi of some of America’s most celebrated restaurants, is partnering with powerhouse developer and builder JDS Development Group, led by Chief Executive Michael Stern, to conceive, build, and operate MAJOR. : a new residential-hospitality tower located at 888 Brickell Avenue in Miami, Florida. MFG’s sophistication and reputation for unparalleled food and beverage experiences combined with JDS’s track record for confident, monumental design of quality and craftsmanship, sets the stage for a project of perfectly-dialed maximalism. Upon completion, MAJOR. will represent the tallest building in Miami at 1,049 feet.

MAJOR. marks a milestone in the evolution of Major Food Group, which currently operates a global portfolio of over thirty restaurants, hotels, and private clubs. MFG established roots in South Florida in 2021 with several smash successes: CARBONE and HaSalon in the South of Fifth neighborhood and the private membership venue ZZ’s Club in the Miami Design District. MFG will launch a range of additional projects in the region in the coming year, including several outposts of the brunch institution Sadelle’s, beginning with Coconut Grove, and Dirty French Steakhouse in Brickell.

Located at 888 Brickell Avenue, MAJOR. will feature 259 custom residences and offer the most impressive collection of food and beverage amenities of any building in Miami, if not the United States. MFG will oversee all branding and hospitality programming. Standalone restaurants and private clubs will be among the concepts.

“For the most dynamic city in the United States right now, our goal is to build the most luxurious residential tower in the world, with a thrilling array of spaces and amenities that no other building can match. In a word, this is going to be MAJOR.” said Jeff Zalaznick, MFG Co-Founder

MAJOR. represents yet another large-scale skyscraper by JDS Development Group. Led by Founder and CEO Michael Stern, JDS is a team of innovators and builders pioneering forms of large-scale urban development in the New York City and Miami metropolitan regions. The firm is known for complex assemblages and moving markets through transformative, design-forward projects that raise the bar for new development and challenge the status quo of the real estate and construction industries. JDS projects include the iconic Walker Tower, The American Copper Buildings, the recently topped-out Brooklyn Tower, and 111 West 57th Street in New York City, and Monad Terrace, Echo Brickell, and Echo Aventura in South Florida.

“You haven’t seen anything like MAJOR.,” stated Michael Stern, Founder & CEO of JDS Development Group. “We are proud to partner with the MFG on this unprecedented residential, dining, and hospitality opportunity.”

This will be the firm’s fifth supertall skyscraper and third project in the Brickell neighborhood. JDS also co-developed the record-breaking Echo Brickell condominium project and recently broke ground on the large-scale mixed-use 1 Southside Park in Brickell.

JDS and MFG have enlisted industry design luminaries Studio Sofield and Ken Fulk Inc. for the project. William Sofield, who will oversee design of the tower, lobby, and residences, has a longstanding relationship with JDS as interior architect of the ultra-luxurious 111 West 57th Street and historic Steinway Hall conversion in Manhattan. Sofield’s remarkable career includes work with luxury brands from Bottega Veneta, Tom Ford, and Gucci, to iconic clubs such as Manhattan’s Core Club. Fulk, a longtime MFG collaborator, will be responsible for the food, beverage, and club spaces at MAJOR. Fulk has designed such atmospheric spaces as Carbone and ZZ’s Club in Miami and the new Crown Club at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, among other exceptional experiences for the swiftly expanding MFG brand family.

Additional MAJOR. details will be released early next year.

The Boulevard, a 294-unit luxury apartment building, is being developed by 13th Floor Investments in partnership with both Wexford Capital and Tricera.

Tricera Capital, leading the retail efforts at The Boulevard, finalized a lease with a high-profile on-demand exercise firm to anchor the ground-floor retail component. The Boulevard, a 294-unit luxury apartment building, is being developed by 13th Floor Investments in partnership with both Wexford Capital and Tricera.

Tennessee-based Echelon Fitness is relocating its national headquarters to The Boulevard and will offer spinning classes, contemporary workout apparel & accessories in an upscale retail shop, as well as shoot live videos and offer in-person training at the 5700 Biscayne Blvd. location.

Tricera also completed a lease with the popular Crema Gourmet Espresso Bar, which will open a new location at The Boulevard.

Echelon is set to occupy 10,035 square feet at The Boulevard, which will have a total of approximately 27,000 square feet of retail. The 2.2-acre development site is located at 5700 Biscayne Boulevard – just 1.5 miles north of Miami’s Design District.

Known for “redefining home fitness,” Echelon offers a variety of home-based fitness options including connect bikes, rowers, reflects and the echelon stride.

The company plans to utilize the Miami location to offer in person training, spinning classes and will also have a studio component where they record live classes that will then be used for each digitally integrated product. Echelon will be bringing a much-needed luxury fitness experience to the area. It will also operate a retail store and corporate office out of the location.

“We are thrilled at the opportunity to bring an elite tenant such as Echelon to The Boulevard,” Tricera Capital Co-Founder and Managing Principal Ben Mandell said. “Echelon is truly disrupting the home fitness industry, they will fit in well with the pioneering technology firms that are increasingly moving to Miami. The in-person training component will be a major hit with The Boulevard residents and nearby residents and professionals.”

Crema Gourmet Espresso Bar is a local favorite that has locations in Coral Gables, Davie, Downtown Doral, Brickell, Downtown Miami and Miami Beach. At The Boulevard, Crema Gourmet will occupy 2,400 square feet on the ground floor and serve food and smoothies on the building’s rooftop.

Mandell and Jennifer Houston, Tricera’s Executive Vice President – Head of Retail Leasing, oversee retail leasing at The Boulevard. The duo is finalizing leases with a fast-casual poke concept from Pinecrest, upscale salon and luxury clothing boutique.

The partnership expects to complete The Boulevard and commence resident move-ins during the first quarter of 2022.

“This is a very exciting time to be in Miami and work on a project like The Boulevard,” Houston said. “We look forward to elevating the MiMo District with compelling new restaurants and high-end boutiques, creating an unparalleled experience for the project’s tenants and visitors.”

Tricera’s retail experience in the South Florida market is instrumental in making The Boulevard a retail destination for the local community and future residents. The burgeoning MiMo/Biscayne Corridor continues to grow as a top destination for affluent families and new retail concepts.

Remaining available inventory for lease includes flagship space at the intersection of Northeast 58th Street and Biscayne Boulevard – one of the most desirable food-and-beverage spaces left in Miami.

Melo Group's Aria Reserve Luxury Condominium Exceeds 60% Sold In Less Than 6 Months As Groundbreaking Nears

As travel restrictions lift, foreign buyers have begun to return to Miami’s luxury real estate market, adding another layer to the already red-hot demand in South Florida. Melo Group, the developer behind Aria Reserve, has pre-sold more than 60% of its 383-residence South Tower in less than six months since its summer 2021 sales launch.

As travel restrictions lift, foreign buyers have begun to return to Miami’s luxury real estate market, adding another layer to the already red-hot demand in South Florida. In the latest example of this international comeback, Melo Group, the developer behind Aria Reserve, a dual tower luxury condominium development situated on five acres of Biscayne Bay waterfront land in Miami’s Edgewater enclave, has pre-sold more than 60% of its 383-residence South Tower in less than six months since its summer 2021 sales launch. Approximately half of the tower’s buyers hail from domestic markets across the country, with an almost equal number of international buyers.

Aria Reserve’s 62-story towers will mark the tallest waterfront dual tower residential development in the United States. Construction of the project’s South Tower is expected to begin in early 2022, with completion slated for 2024.

“When we launched sales at Aria Reserve over the summer, the majority of our buyers were coming from the domestic market – New York, California, Boston,” said developer Carlos Melo, Co-Principal of the Melo Group. “While we’re still seeing an incredible amount of domestic demand, we’re now seeing some competition coming from overseas as international buyers return to the market. Buyers from Latin American countries like Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Chile and Peru are relocating to Miami following the implementation of Covid-19 vaccines, continued political instability, and a recent rise in international tourism.”

Residences at Aria Reserve will include impeccably finished units with one- to four-bedroom floorplans measuring between 1,100 and 2,600 square feet in size. A limited collection of penthouse residences, ranging from 3,500 to over 9,000 square feet, each come with its own one-of-a-kind personal three-car garage vault – of which five trilevel penthouse mansions will also feature private rooftop decks with pools and summer kitchens. Residences are priced from about $850,000 to over $2 million, and up to $12 million for penthouses.

Every residence will include two private or semi-private elevators, a dedicated office/den, at least 10-foot-high ceilings, and open flow-through layouts with up to 11-foot-deep expansive terraces boasting unparalleled sunset views to the west and bay and ocean views to the east.

“Buyers are attracted to our waterfront location and our abundance of amenities,” said Martin Melo, Co-Principal of the Melo Group. “With a two-acre resort-style deck, home to an indoor/outdoor wellness center, a variety of sports courts, and multiple pools for the entire family, along with spacious residences, and some of the best bay and ocean views in Miami, Aria Reserve is appealing to end-user buyers looking to take advantage of the city’s cosmopolitan lifestyle.”

Aria Reserve has been architecturally designed by Bernardo Fort-Brescia of Arquitectonica, with interiors by MORADA Haute Furniture Boutique, and lush landscaping by ArquitectonicaGEO.

The development will boast over two acres of amenities, with standout features including a semi-Olympic sized lap pool and whirlpool spa, a children’s splash pad, playground area, teen lounge and gaming center, a theater, tennis courts, basketball courts, paddle courts, a golf putting green, and an indoor/outdoor wellness center with spa/steam/sauna facilities, massage rooms, a state-of-the-art gym, yoga lounge and meditation garden.

The building will also feature a double-level 25-foot lobby, a signature waterfront restaurant and café, two additional pool and lounge areas with two Jacuzzis and poolside daybeds, a fire pit, a dog park, and a telescope observatory area looking out over the bay. Residents will also have access to a custom-designed watersports dock with available paddleboards, kayaks, and inflatables.

On the ground floor along 23rd Street, Melo Group is developing a public park with open green space that will connect to the Miami Baywalk, providing direct access to the 5-mile-long pedestrian and bicycle-friendly waterfront promenade which runs along Biscayne Bay from Edgewater, around Brickell Key, and all the way to Brickell Bay Drive in Brickell.

Situated along the bayfront just north of Downtown Miami, nestled between the Venetian and Julia Tuttle Causeways – the two main arteries connecting the City of Miami and Miami Beach – Edgewater has fast-emerged as the epicenter of the new Miami. The surrounding neighborhoods of Downtown’s Arts & Entertainment District, Miami Design District, Wynwood Arts District, Midtown Miami, and Miami Beach put residents within blocks of dozens of luxury retail shops, high-end restaurants and world-class arts and culture venues.

Aria Reserve benefits from the development expertise of the Melo Group, one of South Florida’s preeminent residential development firms with a portfolio of more than 6,000 total luxury condominium and high-end multifamily units completed throughout Greater Downtown Miami. The firm is one of Downtown Miami’s most prominent long-term investors and landowners, having found success by investing early in prime real estate and building for market demand. Over the last two decades, Melo has delivered more than a dozen residential towers across Miami’s Central Business District, Edgewater, Miami River, and Arts & Entertainment District neighborhoods.

Make-A-Wish Foundation is building a new nine-story, 35,000 SF office tower in Overtown designed by Arquitectonica, and The Underdeck, a planned 33-acre public park stretching from Overtown to Biscayne Bay underneath the new Signature Bridge is poised to add additional culture, art and beauty to the area.

The long-awaited exterior garage cladding, which depicts a vibrant mural, has been fully installed just in time for Art Basel next month.

Located at the intersection of Wynwood and Midtown, the office building, which found inspiration in Wynwood’s innovative spirit and modern vibe, will allow Wynwood's new residents to walk to their offices and shops without having to get in their cars.

The newly reimagined luxury offerings will include 80 custom-designed residences and 65 boutique hotel suites, combining classic elegance with modern luxury. Given Witkoff and Stern's long history of preserving and restoring historic structures, the restoration and redevelopment of the legendary Shore Club has a veritable Historic Preservation Dream Team helping to bring the project to fruition.

The Shore Club Hotel’s storied history will be preserved while redeveloping the property into a new Miami Beach icon designed through a contemporary lens, embracing and enhancing its heritage. The proposed plan prioritizes maintaining the contributing historic structures of the original Cromwell and Shore Club hotels while building an additional two new structures on the property: a residential building and a private villa. In addition, the exterior will include three pool decks for residential and hotel use, a remodeled exterior dining area, an exterior cafe, all set among a lush tropical oasis.

To honor the Shore Club’s rich history, the interior plans include a complete restoration of the lobby to its original grandeur and renovation of its hotel suites, two world-class food offerings, carefully curated amenities catering towards every need of the individual residents and guests, a state-of-the-art gym facility, and private screening and lounge rooms.

Witkoff’s long, successful history of restoring and redeveloping properties of historical significance includes the iconic Woolworth Building, Daily News Building, 55 Wall Street, One Broadway in Manhattan, and Shell Mex House and Devonshire House in London as well as the Hilton Cabana in Miami Beach. Witkoff and Monroe Capital prioritized expertise in historic preservation and compatible new construction in selecting architect, teacher and writer Robert A.M Stern to lead the Shore Club’s design, with historic renovation projects including 18 Gramercy Park South (renovation of a women’s boarding house into a condo), The Claremont (a residential tower addition to the Union Theological Seminary) and The Belnord (partial renovation of an historic rental building into a condominium).

Heritage Architectural Associates, led by Steven Avdakov, an architect specializing in historic preservation, is serving as the Historic Preservation Consultant on the project to preserve and restore the authenticity of the original structures and interior. The design team also includes acclaimed Kobi Karp Architecture & Interior Design, as well as landscape architecture firm Island Planning Corporation, led by founder Nathan Browning.

“Witkoff is honored to have the opportunity to restore and redevelop the Shore Club and Cromwell back to their original grandeur,” said Alex Witkoff, Principal of Witkoff, “We look forward to collaborating with the City of Miami Beach, the Historic Preservation Board and the community to ensure that our vision honors the Shore Club and Cromwell’s storied histories.”

“As Miami Beach increasingly grows as a global city, historically significant projects like this define and contribute to its thriving culture and flourishing economy.” adds Kyle Asher, Managing Director of Monroe Capital.

“The historic preservation of the original Cromwell and Shore Club Hotel is essential to the restoration due to the buildings’ status as designated historic structures and to preserve the history of Miami Beach as a whole,” stated Historian Steve Avdakov on the nature of the project.

“From the outset of the conceptualization of this project, the team focused on ensuring the historical integrity of the Shore Club and leading with a contextual design approach that complements the surrounding community. It is critical to preserve the historic integrity of iconic properties like the Shore Club and Cromwell,” said Paul Whalen, Partner of Robert A.M. Stern Architects. “Our design strategy and approach for the project was heavily influenced by their storied history.”
