Shoma Group Sells 10 Units At Luxury Boutique Condo Ten30 South Beach In 15 Days
Ten30 South Beach, a curated collection of 43 one-, two-, and three-bedroom condominiums nestled in one of South Beach’s most vibrant neighborhoods, is quickly selling out its inventory as demand for Miami luxury real estate heightens.
Ten30 South Beach, a curated collection of 43 one-, two-, and three-bedroom condominiums nestled in one of South Beach’s most vibrant neighborhoods, is quickly selling out its inventory as demand for Miami luxury real estate heightens. Shoma Group along with the project’s exclusive residential brokerage, Fortune Development Sales, have reported a record pace for sales with 10 units sold in just 15 days. Ten30 South Beach now has more than 75% of its residences under contract as sales continue to climb.
An enclave of moderately priced, Mid-Century Modern design-inspired Miami Beach condominiums by development firm Shoma Group, sales for the four-story boutique development have been fueled by the momentum received from the project’s top off in December and upcoming imminent opening this summer.
“As the tide of Northeasterners and West Coast residents from states like California rise in Miami seeking all that South Florida has to offer, the extraordinary demand we’ve recently experienced certainly stands out,” said Masoud Shojaee, President and CEO of Shoma Group. “The popularity of luxury boutique residential real estate has certainly risen this year as buyers are seeking less dense living along with larger units and outdoor spaces. Ten30 South Beach is front-and-center as an idyllic offering to fill that need and is well-positioned from a large slate of new offerings.”
“Buyers are taking notice of Ten30 South Beach. With the project set to be completed very soon it provides a significant competitive edge and is an important selling point for those who want to move here now,” said Edgardo Defortuna, President and CEO of Fortune International Group. “Offering the privacy of a single-family home, with the turnkey appeal and convenience of a condominium, we have seen pent-up demand for this unique type of boutique product and are confident that sales will continue to reflect this.”
Set to open to residents this summer, the project offers the style and prestige of an exclusive address surrounded by premier shopping, dining and dazzling attractions of Miami Beach. For Ten30 residents to leisurely explore the neighborhood and savor South Beach, the developer recently debuted a unique offering of a Vespa at closing for new buyers on select units. Gifted with a voucher at closing, buyers will be able to choose from a premiere lineup of models from the world’s most iconic scooter brand that can easily be stored in their private, covered parking space.
“The sales pace we’ve seen the last few weeks has been nothing short of incredible,” said Stephanie Shojaee, Chief Marketing Officer of Shoma Group. “Several of our recent buyers have purchased multiple units with plans to combine them and update the floorplans to create larger units to enjoy. This is a consistent trend we’ve seen throughout the project as more and more buyers are seeking larger units along with rooftop terraces. We originally were seeing several second home buyers, but are now seeing many people who are looking to relocate permanently and want space to entertain.”
Primed for pure relaxation and a healthy lifestyle, Ten30 South Beach also recently introduced plans for its saltwater rosé-colored rooftop pool. Situated on a sprawling 6,000 square-foot rooftop deck, Ten30’s pool offers a restful retreat to relax and recharge with the added health benefits of the salt water that includes improved wellness with increased buoyancy reducing the weight of gravity on joints and muscles, soothing tension, and a gentler overall experience. Also, fewer chemicals means less irritation on skin and eyes, and the water feels softer, smoother, and purer than water sanitized using a traditional system.
Additional amenities include a lounge and outdoor kitchen area complete with barbecue and yoga space, as well as a dual gym showcasing spinning and treads with Pilates reformers and rock-climbing. The well-appointed condominiums offer a variety of floor plans each with state-of-the-art technology and high-end finishes.
Located at 1030 15th Street, Ten30 South Beach offers one-, two- and three-bedroom units with expansive private rooftop terraces. Kitchens epitomize modern elegance and functionality with Italian cabinetry and premium appliances, and designer finishes throughout compliment the spacious master bedrooms that boast a unique open bathroom concept. Residences are priced from the $500’s with low association fees of less than $400 per month.

OKO Group and Cain International Complete $74 Million in Condo Sales Since the Start of the New Year at Miami’s Missoni Baia and Una Residences
Miami’s newest luxury condominium towers are tapping into a surge of domestic buyers fueled by the city’s desirable quality of life, lower business and living expenses, and Florida’s tax-friendly policies.
Miami’s newest luxury condominium towers are tapping into a surge of domestic buyers fueled by the city’s desirable quality of life, lower business and living expenses, and Florida’s tax-friendly policies. At Missoni Baia and Una Residences, two new luxury towers under development by OKO Group and Cain International in Miami, approximately $74 million in sales have been completed in the last 60 days. The vast majority of units sold have been purchased by domestic buyers, reflecting the influx of new residents pouring into South Florida from cold weather and tax-burdened states.
This recent surge in sales from domestic buyers is the latest example of how business and wealth migration is fueling the South Florida condo market. The pandemic, coupled with people and companies looking to relocate from major U.S. cities – specifically in the Northeast and Midwest regions – to tax-friendly states with reduced business and living expenses, is enticing out-of-state residents to make the move to South Florida, with this trend expected to continue throughout 2021.
According to a recent report by brokerage ISG World, domestic buyers have taken over as the leading source of new condo purchases in Miami and Fort Lauderdale during the pandemic, with only 3.9 percent of recently completed units remaining unsold in December 2020. The latest statistics support that fierce competition and ballooning prices for single-family homes in South Florida are driving buyers toward condominiums instead.
“We’ve just had our best month of sales, and we’re seeing demand for condos intensify as the inventory of single-family homes continues to dwindle and Miami’s newest residents put emphasis on low maintenance, high-touch service and amenities that only a condo can offer,” said Vanessa Grout, CEO of OKO Real Estate, the sales and marketing arm of OKO Group. “Now that remote work has become so prolific and many people can work from wherever they choose, we’re seeing buyers from cities like New York, Chicago and San Francisco making the move to South Florida. They’re attracted by our lifestyle, our diverse culture and business community, and an overall quality of life.”
Now under construction, Missoni Baia and Una Residences are being developed by a partnership between OKO Group, one of South Florida’s most active and successful luxury development firms helmed by international real estate mogul Vladislav Doronin, and Cain International, a privately held investment firm with over $6.3 billion in real estate equity, debt and leisure business investments led by Jonathan Goldstein.
“This accelerated sales momentum reaffirms our strong belief in Miami's innovation, culture and lifestyle and its future as a global gateway city. We are extremely pleased with the progress across our Miami portfolio and look forward to delivering two world-class developments to the city’s residential market and welcoming their residents in the near future.” said Jonathan Goldstein, CEO of Cain International.
Designed by Hani Rashid of Asymptote Architecture, Missoni Baia is a 57-story luxury residential tower now rising on Biscayne Bay in Miami’s Edgewater neighborhood. As the Missoni brand’s first-ever residential project, the Italian fashion house is incorporating its trademark colorful design palette and Missoni Home furniture collection into the tower’s vibrant interiors, including all public spaces and amenity areas. The waterfront tower’s 249 residences range from one- to five-bedroom layouts measuring between 776 and 3,788 square feet in size. Units are priced from approximately $950,000 to upwards of $9 million. Construction of the 649-foot-tall tower is well underway and is expected to be completed in late 2021.
The 47-story Una Residences tower, designed by internationally renowned Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture (AS+GG), is situated on Miami’s waterfront in the city’s picturesque and private South Brickell neighborhood. Private elevators open up into the glass tower’s 135 spacious residences, which range from two- to five-bedrooms and measure between 1,100 to 4,786 square feet in size – with all units boasting unobstructed views of the Atlantic Ocean, Biscayne Bay and the Miami city skyline. Units are priced from $2.2 million to $7.4 million, with two ultra-exclusive penthouses with private pools priced up to $21.6 million. Construction of the 579-foot-tall tower is underway, with completion expected in 2023.
Additionally, OKO Group and Cain International are developing 830 Brickell, a class A-plus office tower also designed by Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture, currently under construction in the heart of Brickell’s Financial District. OKO Group’s plans to bring an Aman Hotel & Residences to Miami Beach were also recently approved by the City of Miami Beach. Construction of the ultra-luxury development is expected to start this year.
Cain International was recently appointed to lead the strategic reposition of the famed Delano hotel in Miami’s South Beach, adding to the firms growing hospitality footprint across global gateway cities. Cain’s additional US hospitality investment assets include the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills, the Beverly Hilton Hotel, and the Raffles Hotel and Residences Boston Back Bay. The firm has also partnered with OKO Group on the financing of the Aman Hotel & Residences in New York City’s historic Crown Building.

Construction of The Gateway at Wynwood is speeding ahead of schedule with completion of the office building scheduled for the second half of this year. The developer has also released new renderings of the project’s 10th floor, which will only offer ‘spec suites.’
R&B Realty Group LLC, the forward-thinking developer behind The Gateway, is devoting the entire 10th floor to fully built-out and ready for move-in office space.

Villa Valencia Tops Off With $7 Million Sold In First 30 Days Of 2021 In Coral Gables
SPONSORED - Villa Valencia has topped off construction of the 13-story luxury condominium development on the heels of closing $7 million in sales within the first 30 days of 2021, an impressive position in the Coral Gables condo market. The project is now 40% sold.
SPONSORED - Villa Valencia has topped off construction of the 13-story luxury condominium development on the heels of closing $7 million in sales within the first 30 days of 2021, an impressive position in the Coral Gables condo market. The project is now 40% sold. Developer Location Ventures celebrated the milestone with an intimate gathering at 515 Valencia Avenue, where the impressive sales gallery is located.
Rishi Kapoor, CEO of Location Ventures, spoke before notable guests and city officials, including City of Coral Gables Vice Mayor Vince Lago, Coral Gables Chamber of Commerce President & CEO Mark Trowbridge, General Contractor Winmar Construction and the ONE Sotheby’s International Realty sales team.
“We are extremely grateful to reach this landmark achievement in construction while experiencing continued interest and strong sales in January,,” said Kapoor. “Thanks to our dedicated team, Villa Valencia will be delivered later this year with unmatched amenities and offerings, supporting our vision of creating Coral Gables’ most luxurious address by bringing together great design, wellness, nature and forward-thinking technology.”
Buoyed by the surge in single-family home sales, the project experienced a 50% uptick in buyer interest since December. This is in part due to locals seeking to “right-size” their living space, according to Kapoor, as a result of the continued wealth migration to Coral Gables, leading to increased demand for luxury condominiums.
Villa Valencia buyers have also eyed additional onsite amenities for purchase. Elements that make the residences further resemble an estate, such as poolside cabanas and private garages, have recently sold for more than $2 million in total.
Ninety-five percent of the building’s buyer pool is comprised of C-suite executives or business owners who are attracted to Villa Valencia’s career-centric offerings. These include a fully equipped boardroom with innovative video technology and the option of working closely with the developer to customize a home office design within their private residence.
The prime locale is another selling point, with direct access to the Miami International Airport and blocks from Miracle Mile. The Greater Miami Area is a rapidly expanding economic hub, with Coral Gables home to 20 consulates and 140 multinational corporations. It is an ideal community with “Class A” office space, top private and public schools and universities, country clubs, golf courses and world-class culture – all within minutes of the project.
Villa Valencia will include a wellness program that leaves no stone unturned. To promote relaxation and optimal health, core tenements of the brand, a rich spa and extensive fitness offerings will present a hammam, steam room, his-and-her saunas, hydrotherapy plunge pools, as well as a state-of-the-art exercise facility with yoga, Pilates and weight training. For outdoor enjoyment, a 78-foot resort-style pool with a lap lane and waterfall will be complemented by two summer kitchens and spacious sunbeds.
Fostering better health, each residence will feature the Delos DARWIN™ Home Wellness Intelligence network. Villa Valencia is the first condominium project in the U.S. to offer the system in the residences, procured and installed by HEDsouth, a premier technology integration and automation company. DARWIN™ uses tech innovation to bring the best of natural outdoor conditions inside, as it passively monitors for allergens, excess carbon dioxide, and harmful particles, in addition to heavy metals and bacteria in drinking water.
In addition to the DARWIN™ system, each home interior will showcase a private foyer and elevator entry, complete with superior finishes, including European flooring, 10-foot exterior sliding doors, and finished custom closets. Kitchens are equipped with state-of-the-art Subzero and Wolf appliances, a wine cooler, custom cabinetry and quartz countertops. On the outside, the façade displays a modern rendition of Coral Gables’ signature Mediterranean architecture style, designed by Hamed Rodriguez Architects.
