One of South Florida’s most in-demand neighborhoods is getting a new offering of residential and commercial space following the approval of Eighteen Sunset, a mixed-use development set to rise in Miami Beach’s Sunset Harbour district.

One of South Florida’s most in-demand neighborhoods is getting a new offering of residential and commercial space following the approval of Eighteen Sunset, a mixed-use development set to rise in Miami Beach’s Sunset Harbour district. Eighteen Sunset is being developed by Deco Capital Group and was designed by DOMO Architecture + Design.

The five-story building will feature street-level retail and restaurant space, two floors of Class A offices, and an exclusive top-floor penthouse residence with a private rooftop deck. Plans for the development won unanimous approval from the Miami Beach City Commission on May 12, 2021. Construction is scheduled to begin in late summer 2021, with completion anticipated in 2023.

Situated between Purdy Avenue and Bay Road, overlooking Biscayne Bay and Maurice Gibb Park, Eighteen Sunset will offer unmatched walkability and accessibility in the heart of Sunset Harbour, which has emerged as one of South Florida’s hottest lifestyle, retail and dining destinations.

“Eighteen Sunset will be a premier address for shopping, dining, working and living just as Miami Beach enjoys a surge of new residents and businesses,” says Deco Capital Group Founder Bradley Colmer. “No other building in Miami Beach offers this level of Class A, luxury office and prime retail space looking out onto the water. The penthouse residence will be an unparalleled home in the sky in the center of Miami Beach’s most exciting neighborhood.”

The crown jewel of Eighteen Sunset is a penthouse residence featuring more than 15,000 SF of interior space as well as a breathtaking rooftop pool deck. The residence comprises over 32,000 SF of private indoor and outdoor space in total. The rooftop includes a pool and hot tub, an outdoor dining room, and expansive gardens, seating and recreational areas affording the owner and their guests panoramic vistas of Biscayne Bay, the Downtown Miami skyline, and evening sunsets to the west. The penthouse owner will have private ownership and use of a ground floor foyer/lounge, as well as a private garage accommodating at least six cars on the building’s second floor, offering direct elevator access to the residence.

“The Penthouse at Eighteen Sunset will be the pinnacle of luxury and exclusivity in Miami Beach, making it unlike any private residence the city has seen,” says Oren Alexander of Douglas Elliman. “This is perfect for a buyer drawn to the idea of taking an elevator down to the ground floor and being immersed in a vibrant, walkable neighborhood that offers everything from sidewalk cafés and coffee shops, to trendy boutiques and a marina across the street. All of this is available in a building offering beautiful views and the amenities and security features of a world class building.”

Eighteen Sunset’s ground floor totals approximately 15,500 SF of high-visibility, rentable commercial space, offering retail and restaurant concepts prime frontage along pedestrian-friendly Purdy Avenue. A central breezeway and cantilevered sidewalk cover will feature shaded seating areas and create seamless connectivity with Maurice Gibb Park.

Floors three and four will be comprised of approximately 32,000 SF of Class A-plus office space tailor made for finance and investment firms, family offices, technology firms, and professional service companies in the market for space offering waterfront views, proximity to Miami’s most desirable residential neighborhoods, and Sunset Harbour’s stylish mix of shops and eateries just steps away. Office tenants will have secure parking on the building’s second floor.

“Today’s office users are placing emphasis on planning and building custom-designed space in areas that are walkable, accessible, and which offer proximity to outdoor recreation. Eighteen Sunset checks all of these boxes – and more,” explains Stephen Rutchik of Colliers International. “We are finding that Eighteen Sunset’s best in class data connectivity, sustainability initiatives, private balcony spaces, and 24/7 full building generator for all tenant systems are appealing to firms looking to establish their presence in one of Miami’s most sought-after districts.”

Stephen Rutchik of Colliers International is leading leasing the Eighteen Sunset’s office space, Sara Wolfe of Koniver Stern is marketing the retail offerings, and Oren Alexander of Douglas Elliman selling the penthouse.

Jorge M. Perez, the billionaire Chairman and CEO of Related Group, has sold his Apogee Beach PH in Hollywood, FL for a record $6,000,000 to William Schwitzer, CEO of William Schwitzer & Associates, a personal injury law firm based in NYC.

Jorge M. Perez, the billionaire Chairman and CEO of Related Group, has sold his Apogee Beach PH in Hollywood, FL for a record $6,000,000 to William Schwitzer, CEO of William Schwitzer & Associates, a personal injury law firm based in NYC. Perez’s penthouse 2401 at Apogee Beach in Hollywood, FL was represented by Oren Alexander of Douglas Elliman while Schwitzer was represented by Gillian Fessler of Douglas Elliman. The 5,051 SF residence traded at $1,190 PSF which equates to over 285% increase since Perez acquired the property in 2013 for about $2 million.

The full-floor penthouse features 6,307 SF of terraces, has five bedrooms, a den, five full bathrooms and one half-bathroom. The penthouse at Apogee Beach was completely custom designed to be a luxurious home for entertaining and grand living with extraordinary views in every direction from its many outdoor spaces, including the all-encompassing balconies on the east & west facades, an expansive rooftop deck with outdoor kitchen and private pool, and a private poolside cabana downstairs. The residence features custom interiors with high ceilings and pale wood floors, a massive living room, and a master suite complete with private office.

“All of South Florida is seeing huge growth, but few markets can even come close to Hollywood Beach in terms of price appreciation,” said Jorge M. Perez, CEO of Related Group. “This neighborhood was long overlooked, but this transaction, and the considerable pent-up demand for similar product, is reaffirmation of what we’ve always known – Hollywood, Hallandale and other hidden gems across the region are poised for their moment in the sun.”

Related Group completed the Apogee Beach condo tower, located at 3951 South Ocean Drive, in 2013. It was designed by architect Carlos Ott, interiors by New York-based David Rockwell and art contributions by Michele Oka Doner and Carolina Sardi. The beachfront condo was the first new construction project developed post 2008 financial crisis on the barrier Island, and has been touted as the pilot for all post-crisis developments across South Florida.

ARTE by Antonio Citterio Is The First New Development In Miami To Accept Cryptocurrency

ARTE, a new oceanfront luxury condominium developed by Alex Sapir and Giovanni Fasciano, have announced the record-breaking sale of its triplex penthouse for $33 million. The all-cash transaction is Miami Beach’s third most expensive penthouse sale in the last seven years, and represents the highest price per square foot ever recorded in the city’s exclusive Surfside neighborhood.

ARTE by Antonio Citterio, the exclusive boutique condominium which recently opened in Miami’s Surfside neighborhood, has announced that it will be first new residential development in Miami to accept cryptocurrency as a form of payment. Signifying the developers’ optimism for the city's future as the cryptocurrency capital of the world, all remaining residences can be purchased with digital currency.

To streamline the sale of residences in crypto, ARTE has formed partnership with blockchain and securities trading platform SolidBlock, which provides custom solutions for buying and selling digital assets. SolidBlock will ensure that buyers paying in cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum enjoy an easy and straight-forward purchasing experience. They will also be available to assist with any other crypto exchanges or real-world transactions that buyers wish to make in the future as well as legal and tax advice.

As the first Miami condominium to welcome cryptocurrency, ARTE joins Mayor Francis Suarez in the vision to transform the city into a leading technology hub. By embracing digital assets like Bitcoin as the future of business, the building has taken the lead in upending traditional real estate practices in Miami and has set an example for other developments in the market.

"The embrace of cryptocurrency and emerging technologies across all sectors of industry is precisely how Miami will become the city of the century,” said Mayor Francis Suarez. “ARTE is setting an important precedent and I won't be surprised to hear similar stories in the near future."

The announcement also comes at a unique time in Miami, when many of the top Silicon Valley companies and venture capital firms have opened satellite offices or have expanded into the city. According to the developers, this migration has played a role in the decision to launch a cryptocurrency offering at Arte.

“Miami is becoming a true city of tomorrow,” said Alex Sapir, Chairman of Sapir Corp LTD, whose Israel-and New York-based subsidiary, SC 8955 LLC, developed the project. “As the most exclusive luxury building in the city, we’re positioning ourselves for a future where half the world’s billionaires are crypto billionaires, which will happen once Bitcoin reaches $200,000. With cryptocurrencies already creating incredible worldwide wealth, it’s real estate that will sustain that wealth and provide buyers with a legacy. Cryptocurrency is an important and valuable asset, and we believe it’s only natural to set the pace in the real estate industry for these types of transactions at Arte, not just keep up with it.”

“Cryptocurrency is not only a viable and sustainable new asset, it’s also the future of wealth,” said Giovanni Fasciano, co-developer. “As more technology executives move to Miami and bring cryptocurrency along with them, it is crucial that buildings start to devise plans to make blockchain transactions easier and more secure for investors. Arte is the only Miami condominium positioning itself to attract this community at the moment, and we’re proud to take the lead in partnership with SolidBlock.”

ARTE’s collaboration with SolidBlock is the first of its kind. The company pioneered the field of tokenization, spearheading the world’s first successful commercial real estate security token offering (STO), raising $18M for the Aspen St. Regis Resort in 2018. Customizing solutions for private entities to purchase residential real estate in tokens is a new frontier for the platform, and one that could set an exciting precedent for future large-scale luxury developments.

“We are thrilled to have the opportunity to partner with the developers of one of Miami’s most sought-after buildings,” said Yael Tamar, co-founder and co-CEO of SolidBlock. “Discerning and tech-savvy buyers both local and international will appreciate having access to a platform that streamlines the process and helps them invest in this amazing opportunity.”

Nestled in Surfside, the seaside enclave between Bal Harbour and Miami Beach, ARTE is a boutique, oceanfront development at the center of the city’s most vibrant cultural, culinary and shopping destinations. Featuring a stunning design by Italian master architect Antonio Citterio, the building offers impeccable interiors and finishes, as well as ten-star amenities and service. The development was built to cater to an exclusive selection of buyers who have not found quality design, exclusive privacy or outstanding service anywhere else in Miami.

ARTE residents enjoy a robust suite of amenities not found in other Miami luxury condominiums. They include a 75-foot indoor swimming pool, an outdoor swimming pool and beachfront meditation pond, a rooftop tennis court, state-of-the-art fitness center and yoga studio and sauna and steam room. Additional facilities include a children’s playroom with space for remote learning, residents’ lounge, catering kitchen for out-of-home entertaining, and private temperature-controlled parking spaces.

Prices at ARTE by Antonio Citterio start at $10.3 million, or the equivalent cryptocurrency rate, and the spacious three- to five-bedroom plus residences range in size from approximately 3,150 to 7,550 square feet. Sales are exclusively handled by Douglas Elliman Development Marketing.

OMAKAI sushi launched in November 2019, and is the brainchild of two brothers, Diego and Pedro Quijada, along with Nicolas Sayavedra and Chef Aaron Pate.

Set to open at 3304 Mary Street in Coconut Grove, this new location is 2,182 square feet and will seat approximately 65 guests. Located at Terra Group’s headquarters building, the latest OMAKAI sushi restaurant was brokered by Sam Noddle of Comras Company.

“OMAKAI sushi is poised to be a key player in the growing restaurant landscape of Coconut Grove. We’re confident that this new audience will embrace our fine casual, premium traditional sushi concept as they have in Wynwood. With more locations and additional concepts in the works, this is truly just the beginning,” said Pedro Quijada.
