Miami, Palm Beach County and Fort Lauderdale recover about 28,000 jobs since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic

Almost 28,000 jobs have been recovered since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in Miami, Palm Beach County and Fort Lauderdale.  Majority of these jobs fall into the government, hospitality and retail sectors.  The Bureau of Labor Statistics released data showing the Miami market has gained  over 16,000 jobs in August, Palm Beach has gained about 7,000 and Fort Lauderdale has gained over 5,000.  The largest growth in the job market over the last few months is coming from the government sector.  The majority of these jobs are temporary positions tied to the 2020 Census, but has helped the unemployment rate fall to single digits for the first time since COVID-19 hit.  

Hospitality and retail are industries that have suffered considerably from the COVID-19 pandemic across the Country.  Miami has lost about 70,000 jobs in hospitality and about 22,000 jobs in retail since March and April.  As stores and restaurants continue to open up operating at limited capacity, both industries combined have recovered an average of 55% of the jobs lost.  This has significantly boosted Miami’s total COVID-19 job recovery rate to about 45%. 

Palm Beach County’s hospitality and retail industries are slowly making a comeback but not at the same rapid pace as Miami.   At the beginning of the pandemic hospitality in Palm Beach County lost about 48,000 jobs and retail lost almost 10,000.  Since April, hospitality has recovered about 30% of jobs lost and retail has recovered about 45%.  Palm Beach County has regained about 35% of the 100,000 total jobs lost from the pandemic. 

Fort Lauderdale’s hospitality industry lost over 3,000 jobs and retail lost about 14,000 since March and April.  Hospitality has recovered about 44% of the jobs lost and retail has recovered about 60%.  Fort Lauderdale has a total recovery rate of about 36% of the 130,000 jobs lost from the pandemic.  Overall even though job loss from COVID-19 remains down, it is hopeful to see industries slowly coming back as customers begin to leave their houses and support local communities.   

Cardone Capital Acquires Port Royale Apartments In Fort Lauderdale Via Crowdfunding Campaign

Cardone Capital, led by the “10X Rule” author and founder of the 10X Movement Grant Cardone, has acquired the Port Royale Apartments in Fort Lauderdale in one of the largest crowdfunding real estate deals to ever close in South Florida. Port Royale Apartments features 533 units located on the Intracoastal Waterway at 3101 Port Royale Blvd. and 3201-3300 Port Royale Drive in Fort Lauderdale. The property spans over 36 acres with a private marina. The property also has development rights to build an additional 292 units.

The deal closed for roughly $130 million, although the closing price has not yet been made public.

The Chicago-based Waterton Residential was the seller who was represented by Robert Given of Cushman & Wakefield. Waterton Residential initially acquired the apartment complex for $94 million in 2015.

Port Royale Apartments was originally developed in 1991 and renovated in 2016. Units range from one-bedroom, one-bathroom 540 SF units asking $1,400 per month up to two-bedroom, two-bathroom 1,000 SF units asking $2,247.

Cardone Capital plans to be aggressive in multifamily acquisitions over the next several months, expecting to close on another $350 million in transactions.

Construction At Fort Partners' Kobi Karp-Designed Four Seasons Hotel And Private Residences Fort Lauderdale Passes Halfway Point

The Miami-based development firm Fort Partners has announced that construction at Four Seasons Hotel and Private Residences Fort Lauderdale has now surpassed its halfway mark. The construction velocity has put the development on schedule to top off later this year, ahead of its 2021 opening. Offering a combination of luxurious design by a world-renowned team, first-class amenities and five-star services, Four Seasons Fort Lauderdale will be the first five-star development in Broward County. The construction news is made all the more momentous by the development's latest sales update, with more than 65% of the luxury residences sold. 

“Four Seasons Hotel and Private Residences Fort Lauderdale is making incredible strides toward completion,” said Ramzi Achi, Principal of Fort Partners. “We are proud to deliver a five-star development in Fort Lauderdale that will redefine thoughtful design for generations to come. We are pleased to watch the Four Seasons Fort Lauderdale come to life and we look forward to welcoming our first buyers home next year.” 

The 22-story hotel and condominium development will include 148 guest rooms and 83 residences ranging in size from one- to four-bedrooms, with each residence offering expansive living spaces, generous private outdoor terraces and unparalleled views of the Atlantic Ocean and Intracoastal Waterway. Elegant kitchens are complete with custom Tara Bernerd-designed European cabinetry and top-of-the-line Miele, Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, while custom European vanities and select branded fixtures adorn the well-appointed master baths. 

“We have always seen a very strong interest in the lifestyle offered by Four Seasons Fort Lauderdale. The spacious residences with private outdoor living spaces, which offer an abundance of natural light within, combined with the privacy and service afforded by Four Seasons, make these homes exactly what buyers are looking for today,” said Dan Teixeira, Director of Sales, Four Seasons Private Residences Fort Lauderdale. 

Four Seasons Hotel And Private Residences was designed by an internationally acclaimed design team with architecture by Kobi Karp, interiors by London-based interior designer Tara Bernerd who was responsible for the elegant design of the lobby and private residences; hospitality designer Martin Brudnizki designed the development’s signature culinary experience; and landscaping by Miami-based landscape architect Fernando Wong. Construction at Four Seasons Fort Lauderdale is being overseen by Coastal Construction by premier construction management company Lehrer Cumming. 

“As the building is forming into its dimensional physical shape, the presence of the sculptural form is becoming visible to the public,” said Kobi Karp, Founder and Principal-in-Charge of Kobi Karp Architecture and Interior Design. “Four Seasons Fort Lauderdale goes beyond the typical residential building and will become the defining address for Fort Lauderdale.” 

Providing an exceptional, five-star lifestyle, Four Seasons Private Residences Fort Lauderdale offers an array of amenities and à-la-carte services, including a state-of-the-art fitness center, two pools with luxury cabanas, beach butler service, signature Four Seasons spa and yachting services.

Tricera Capital And Merrimac Ventures Close On Society Las Olas Retail Acquisition

Tricera Capital and Merrimac Ventures have acquired the ground-floor retail space within the newly developed Society Las Olas mixed-use project in downtown Fort Lauderdale developed by PMG. The purchase of the prime 301 SW First Ave. space closed on Aug. 27. The venture purchased the retail for $3.8 million, while also acquiring 40 parking spots as part of the transaction.

Society Las Olas is the premier mixed-use project along the revitalized Riverwalk in the heart of downtown Fort Lauderdale. Tricera’s partner, Dev Motwani-led Merrimac Ventures, has been a driving force in the neighborhood’s reemergence. Merrimac acquired the former Las Olas Riverfront complex and brought in PMG to develop Society on a portion of the property before partnering with Tricera to acquire and curate the retail component.

Merrimac also owns the adjacent property and operates the Wharf Fort Lauderdale and Rivertail with Breakwater Hospitality Group. Tricera and Merrimac own a total of ~16,500 square feet of retail at Society, with ~8,500 square feet of prime space still available. Nearly half of the space is already home to numerous first-to-market tenants of national prominence. 

Thompson Hospitality, one of the largest retail food and facilities management companies in the country, is leasing over 6,000 square feet of space that will house the company’s popular Matchbox Restaurant and Big Buns Damn Good Burger Co. After an initial $14 million investment earlier this year, Thompson Hospitality has fully acquired the Matchbox Brand and strategically expanded the concept into emerging markets. Since 2003, the Washington, D.C.-based chain has provided a quintessential neighborhood gathering place for communities.

With 11 locations across the U.S. and more on the way, Matchbox’s menu is centered around fresh, premium ingredients, offering something for everyone, from wood-fired pizzas and mini burgers to simple, yet refined main courses, and a full bar featuring specialty cocktails, local beer and wines from around the globe.

Thompson is also bringing its latest venture, Big Buns Damn Good Burger, to Society. Big Buns is a fun-casual restaurant specializing in burgers, burger bowls, shakes, craft beer and cocktails. The restaurant is inspired by a true love for burgers and beer, and the belief that eating out should feel like a fun backyard party with delicious food, ice-cold drinks and good friends.

Pura Vida Miami, the popular Miami casual health food restaurant, is leasing an ~1,600-square-foot space. Society Las Olas marks the first ever Fort Lauderdale location for Pura Vida, which strives to bring healthy food and a sense of community to each of its South Florida locations.

“Fort Lauderdale continues to offer great opportunities for us to expand our presence in the market,” Tricera Capital Co-Founder and Managing Principal Ben Mandell said. “We are thankful to be able to close this deal mid-pandemic with confidence and plan to continue our efforts in the area.” 

“Bringing these exciting concepts to downtown Fort Lauderdale continues our company – and my family’s – long history of enhancing the city we are fortunate to call home,” Merrimac Ventures President and CEO Dev Motwani said. “The tenants we are securing at Society nicely complement Wharf and Rivertail and will help make this area the focal point of the Riverwalk.”

One Of The Last Development Sites On Downtown Fort Lauderdale's Federal Highway Corridor Is Asking $12.5 Million

One of the last development sites on downtown Fort Lauderdale’s Federal Highway corridor has hit the market asking $12.5 million. Located at 150 N. Federal Hwy., the property is being marketed for sale by Native Realty, the Fort Lauderdale-based commercial brokerage led by founder and CEO Jaime Sturgis.

The 0.78-acre site is walking distance to many of the city’s most popular bars and restaurants on Las Olas Boulevard and in Flagler Village. It is just down the street from Virgin Trains USA’s Fort Lauderdale station. Existing zoning potentially allows for hotel with up to 212 rooms, residential with up to 109 units or a 12-story mixed-use development.

“You could not ask for a more well-positioned development site at the gateway to downtown Fort Lauderdale,” Sturgis said. “We anticipate substantial interest in this offering given the scarcity of such properties in the city’s urban core.”

Sturgis and Native Realty’s Dan Ross are also exclusively marketing one of the last available land assemblages in Flagler Village. The 600, 614 and 618 NE Third Ave. and 313 NE Sixth St. assemblage is priced at $7.7 million and has zoning that allows for a wide variety of development up to 150 feet.
