Mid-Century Modern Condominium Ten30 South Beach Sells Out Before Completion

Miami-based developer Shoma Group is excited to announce that its exclusive, upscale condominium, Ten30 South Beach, has completed sales. Fortune Development Sales, the exclusive residential brokerage for the project, worked closely with Shoma Marketing to sell all 33 units of the four-story Miami Beach development. This sellout is a testament to the project's desirability and the current state of the real estate market. The development will open its doors to residents before the end of the year.

Shoma Group is led by Masoud Shojaee, president and chairman of the board, who has developed more than 10,000 residences and completed over $5 billion in real estate transactions. With 33 years of experience, Shojaee identified a void of moderately priced modern condominiums in the Miami Beach market and set out to develop Ten30 as a luxury retreat at an attainable price.

“The demand in the Miami market right now is incredible and we've seen tremendous buyer response to this project,” said Shojaee. “As a beautiful, boutique development in one of Miami's hottest neighborhoods, Ten30 South Beach offers residents an exclusive haven with top-notch amenities at a compelling price.”

Ten30 features a range of one- to three-bedroom residences and a collection of penthouses, ranging in size from 786 to 3,005 square feet priced from $566,000 to $1.9 million. Designed by Adriana Hoyos and Saladino Design Studio, the mid-century modern-style units feature Italian-designed chef-caliber kitchens, Samsung’s Family Hub refrigerator, and Bluetooth-enabled keyless entry and camera surveillance. Amenities include a 6,000-square-foot rooftop deck and rosé-colored pool, two fitness centers, a lounge, an outdoor kitchen area with a barbecue and yoga space.

In March, Shoma and Fortune International Group reported a record pace for Ten30 sales with 11 residences sold in just 15 days. Several buyers purchased multiple units with plans to combine them and update the floor plans to create larger units, which are in greater demand as many out-of-state buyers relocate to Miami.

“I am immensely proud of the Fortune Sales and Marketing teams for accomplishing sellout before completion,” said Edgardo Defortuna, president and CEO of Fortune International Group. “It was a great experience to work with Shoma and we look forward to collaborating on more projects in the future.”

Location Ventures Launches Condo Sales For URBIN Mixed-Use Condo, Co-Working Lifestyle In Miami Beach and Coconut Grove

The desire to live and work in city centers throughout the world is often met with challenges in accessibility, mobility, and sustainability…until now. Location Ventures – a Miami-based, integrated real estate platform that delivers thoughtfully-designed and fully-connected residential and mixed-use projects – announced today the launch of residential sales for URBIN. A first-to-market, mixed-use brand, URBIN unites design-forward residences for short- or long-term rent with all-inclusive co-working spaces, wellness amenity programming, social activations, and lifestyle-oriented retail, all in one central address.

URBIN has initiated condo presales for its first location in Miami Beach, marking the first phase of the brand’s official launch with 60 percent pre-sold in the first 30 days. The launch of presales for a second location in Coconut Grove will immediately follow to meet growing demand. The brand will further scale with additional locations in key markets throughout the U.S., designing each to fit into the context of its carefully selected setting.

With exclusive sales and marketing representation by ONE Sotheby’s International Realty, URBIN presents turnkey units, designed in a collective living style. Priced from $400,000, residences will be available in diverse floor plans.

In Coconut Grove, residences range from studios at 331 square feet to six bedrooms at 2,352 square feet. Both locations will feature fewer than 100 units to allow for a tailored and more private living experience.

As an opportunity to own property in one of the world’s most sought destinations through URBIN, owners will have exclusive access to a lease-back program with the dual freedom to stay on property for up to 90 nights per year. While away, the residence is professionally managed by the brand and available for rent.

“URBIN celebrates a new way of living by bringing people together through home, work, and wellness in a single setting,” said Rishi Kapoor, CEO of Location Ventures. “Through integrating quality design, technology, wellness and social programming, we’re hoping to foster community and enable a high-quality of life in these city-centric ‘urban’ neighborhoods.”

URBIN residences will offer various layouts and provide a selection of shared spaces per unit, such as a common kitchen, dining and living area. The contemporary-designed condos are fully furnished and include efficient layouts to maximize space, while featuring high-end fixtures and Energy-Star stainless steel appliances, and plenty of storage space. Enticing, service-driven amenities, such as housekeeping, room service, and valet are complemented by on-site food and beverage venues; a wellness center with programming for mindfulness, movement, nourishment, and healing; and a rooftop pool deck with green spaces and lounge areas.

From owners of large enterprises to remote workers, URBIN’s co-working space brings a heightened level of service to the work experience. Members are given access to bespoke support tools, including consulting, administrative and networking, to further drive their business goals. Those who utilize the space are not required to live on property; however, members who both live and work at URBIN unlock exclusive rates.

URBIN Miami Beach, located at 1260 Washington Ave., is designed by Touzet Studio, led by Carlos Prio-Touzet and Jacqueline Gonzalez-Touzet. The building’s façade will complement the playful energy of Miami Beach, featuring geometric styles and colors found throughout the neighborhood with a nod to its Art Deco heritage. Its common area and amenity interiors are curated by Meyer Davis, the award-winning design studio from New York City. The property will undergo a complete renovation to the existing 33,488-square-foot site, in addition to the ground-up development of a 44,000-square-foot building.

URBIN’s second location is at 3162 Commodore Plaza in Coconut Grove, a less than five-minute walk from the newly-unveiled CocoWalk. Arquitectonica and Paredes Architects designed the exterior to integrate seamlessly with the contemporary new builds in the surrounding area. The residences will feature interior design by am studio, a boutique design collaborative committed to creating cohesive, resourceful, and oneiric spaces. The development of URBIN Coconut Grove will include the conversion of a nearly 33,000-square foot commercial building, roughly 5,000-square-foot restaurant, and 23,490-square-foot property, as well as a ground-up development.

URBIN will join the renaissance and expansion currently underway on Washington Avenue and Commodore Plaza – two streets situated in two of the city’s most thriving and in-demand districts. The sales launch of URBIN aims to reach both domestic and international investors attracted to South Florida by providing a unique live-work-well offering in the market.

When Four Seasons Fort Lauderdale opens at the end of the year, Fort Partners, the Miami-based company leading the property’s development, will also unveil model residences that showcase the residences’ unique combination of luxurious design, water views and private outdoor spaces.

We’ve seen that here as people from all around the world— and from our own backyard in places like Miami and Palm Beach—have descended on Fort Lauderdale to own a piece of this marquee Four Seasons development. We’re excited to welcome our new residents home later this year.”

“It has been amazing to watch our vision for Fort Lauderdale’s most luxurious development come to life,” said Ramzi Achi, Principal of Fort Partners. “We worked with the best and brightest names in the industry to deliver modern, oceanfront residences that will forever change the landscape of Fort Lauderdale, and we are proud to offer buyers a high-end lifestyle that is second to none in the area. Four Seasons Fort Lauderdale has already become an icon along the shoreline, and we look forward to unveiling the property this December.”

Fernando will make his esteemed talents readily available at a time when private outdoor space is the most important home feature for luxury buyers.

“Four Seasons Fort Lauderdale has created the blueprint for luxury and class in Fort Lauderdale with its first-class amenities, five-star services and unmatched views,” said Dan Teixeira, the Director of Sales at the development. “Surpassing a quarter of a billion dollars in sales is a true testament to the vision of the development and design teams to build one of South Florida’s most desirable addresses. Our success to date has set a new precedent for what’s possible in this market.”

As one of the most iconic properties within the Four Seasons portfolio, Four Seasons Fort Lauderdale is fast-approaching sellout at over 85 percent sold. The residences range in size from one- to four bedrooms, and have lured buyers for their sprawling living spaces and generous outdoor terraces featuring unparalleled views of the Atlantic Ocean and Intracoastal Waterway.

Melo Group Completes $40 Million In Penthouse Sales In Past 90 Days At Aria Reserve

As penthouse demand skyrockets across South Florida, Melo Group, the developers behind Miami’s Aria Reserve twin tower luxury condominium development, have completed $40 million in penthouse sales at the project’s South Tower over the last 90 days. All 12 of the tower’s single-story penthouses are now under reservation, with only five soon-to-be-released tri-level penthouse mansions remaining available for purchase. More than 40% of the first tower’s 391 residences have already been sold since sales launched in June, with more than half of its buyers hailing from domestic markets within the United States. Situated on five acres fronting Biscayne Bay in Miami’s Edgewater enclave, 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.

Aria Reserve’s limited collection of penthouses residences each come with its own one-of-a-kind private three-car garage vault. The 12 now-sold single-story penthouses, which range between 3,500 to 3,800 square feet in size, captured prices between $3 million and $3.5 million. Five remaining tri-level penthouse mansions, which measure between 5,000 and over 7,000 square feet, all feature private rooftop decks with pools and summer kitchens and are priced up to $12 million.

“Aria Reserve’s penthouse collection includes everything Miami’s most discerning buyers are looking for – privacy, space, access to an abundance of outdoor amenities, and, of course, some of the best waterfront views in Miami,” said Carlos Melo, Principal of the Melo Group. “One of the major selling points for our penthouses is our unique ‘garage vault’ which gives residents access to their own private climate-controlled and secure three-car garage within the building’s larger parking facility – a distinctive feature that has been especially popular among homeowners who are transitioning to condo living.”

Non-penthouse residences at Aria Reserve will include one- to four-bedroom floorplans measuring between 1,100 and 2,600 square feet in size. Prices range from about $850,000 to just over $2 million, at an average of approximately $850 per square foot.

Every residence will include two private or semi-private elevators, a dedicated office/bonus room, 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.

“Over the last few months, we’ve seen incredible demand for our penthouse residences, as buyers look to downsize from large houses and upgrade to amenity-rich and convenient luxury condo living,” said Martin Melo, Principal of the Melo Group. “Aria Reserve’s spacious penthouses are like waterfront homes in the sky designed and built for residents to live in and utilize year-round. Although we’ve already sold the entirety of our lower penthouse inventory, some of the most beautiful residences in the building – our five tri-level upper penthouse mansions – will be released to the market very soon.”

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’s preconstruction sales model allows for 30-percent-down deposits for domestic U.S. buyers, and 40-percent-down deposits for international buyers. Under this model, payments are staggered with 10 percent deposits made at varying stages throughout the course of the development’s construction, from the reservation/contract stage all the way to top-off, with the remainder of the unit’s value due upon completion/closing.

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 rental 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.

The two ParkLine towers are part of a master-plan adjacent to 2 and 3 MiamiCentral, 285,000 SF of Class A office towers, and over 160,000 SF of retail. ParkLine Miami is the largest, single multifamily asset in the Southeastern US to be listed for sale to date. 

Residents at ParkLine Miami have direct elevator access to the MiamiCentral Brightline station along with the station’s new 26,000 SF culinary center by C3, Citizens, which will house elevated restaurants by globally-renowned chefs such as “Iron Chef” Masaharu Morimoto and Michelin Starred chef Dani García. Residents will also have direct access to retailers such as Publix, Starbucks, Chic-fil-A, Joe & The Juice and Einstein Bagels located adjacent to the property.

FECI developed ParkLine Miami as a transit-oriented development to complement the $4.5 billion invested in Brightline trains, the only provider of modern, eco-friendly high-speed rail in the nation. It is the most significant transit-oriented development (TOD) offering in the Southeastern US. Brightline currently serves Miami, Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach with expansion stations in Aventura and Boca Raton opening in 2022. Construction to Orlando is on track to be complete by the end of 2022. Discussions remain underway with local stakeholders regarding expansion to Disney and Tampa. Brightline projects over nine million annual passengers once all Florida stations are completed. 

“This is a rare opportunity indeed, as the towers sit directly atop and are connected to the Brightline train platforms, in addition to three other modes of rail transportation and over 160,000 SF of retail in MiamiCentral,” noted Robert Given, executive vice chairman at Cushman & Wakefield. “MiamiCentral will undeniably be the center of gravity of the Miami MSA for generations to come.” 

The future expansion of MiamiCentral includes a Miami-Dade commuter rail system with stations in Wynwood, the Design District, El Portal, North Miami and FIU’s Biscayne Bay Campus. With the stations in Orlando and Tampa, the connectivity provided by ParkLine Miami is unprecedented in the multifamily environment. 

“ParkLine is the definition of metropolitan living and FECI strategically built these two towers above Brightline to offer a car-optional lifestyle and promote alternative, eco-friendly transportation options,” said Sarah Watterson, chief development officer at FECI. “More and more, people who live at the core of major cities today seek a lifestyle of interconnectivity without sacrificing time and money. ParkLine is meeting those needs and more with its integration to Brightline.” 

In addition to the Tri-County connectivity provided by Brightline and MiamiCentral, ParkLine Miami’s residents will benefit from Brightline’s new and first-of-its-kind, door-to-door service. This will include a fleet of both private and third-party vendor vehicles supporting point-to-point service beyond the train and making a car-optional lifestyle possible. All services will be available through the Brightline app and will further create transportation access to everything from scooters, bikes and electric micro-rides to shuttles and chauffeured Teslas.  

Perched above Downtown Miami, at 100 NW 6th Street, ParkLine Miami puts residents just minutes from the city’s hottest neighborhoods, including Wynwood and the Design District, with access to a plethora of dining, retail, arts and culture, and events. Opt for a stroll to the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts, Frost Science Museum, Perez Art Museum or FTX Arena. The property is also adjacent to Miami World Center, a $4 billion development underway with over 300,000 SF of retail slated to begin openings this year. Convenient accessibility to the Miami Metrorail and Metromover allows for a car-free lifestyle, with major thoroughfare I-95 located nearby for those who so desire.
