The Standard and Rosso Development Launch The Standard Residences In Midtown Miami

Hospitality and real estate pioneers Standard International and Rosso Development, in collaboration with Alex Vadia’s Midtown Development, announce the launch of The Standard Residences, Midtown Miami. The property is the first-of-its-kind, offering the opportunity to live The Standard’s distinctive lifestyle, which to date has only been available at its hotels. The building blends culture, community and style with world-class design, amenities and service.

The 12-story building is located in the heart of Midtown, Miami’s most vibrant, walkable neighborhood, centrally positioned between The Design District and Wynwood. It will feature 228 pied-à-terre-style residences ranging from studios to two bedrooms, all designed and finished with The Standard’s distinctive touch. In the “anything but Standard” fashion, the building will be the first property in the area to recognize the emerging Flexible Living movement, allowing owners to lease out their units for terms as short as one month.

“For more than twenty years The Standard has tapped into our community’s desire for vibrant social experiences,” said Executive Chairman of Standard International, Amar Lalvani. “Now we are giving our loyal guests, and fans of what we do from around the world, the opportunity to live The Standard in a way that recognizes how the next generation wants to live. There is no better place to launch The Standard Residences than Miami, which has emerged as one of the most dynamic cities in the world, and just a place we love.”

“This project presents a new standard of living that is not defined by excess, it’s about soul and authenticity,” said Carlos Rosso, Founder of Rosso Development. “Coming to life in Miami’s most pedestrian-friendly and secure neighborhood, with everything you need at your fingertips, the building promotes a lifestyle rooted in community with a cool-factor that only The Standard can offer—all at an accessible price point.”

The Standard Residences, Midtown Miami has tapped the industry’s best talent for this debut. The building will be crafted by distinguished architects and designers, including award-winning Arquitectonica and Urban Robot. The building’s façade draws inspiration from the urban enclave’s storied past while connecting with the new energy of the neighborhood.

Residences will range in size from 432 square feet to 965 square feet and will express the ethos for which The Standard is known, meticulously designed interiors that provide that balance of style and functionality. Finishes include light wood plank tile flooring, gourmet kitchens with custom Italian cabinetry and Bosch appliances, while oversized bathrooms showcase stone vanities and double-suite rain showers.

"We endeavored to curate a distinctive residential experience, infused with the hospitality The Standard brand is known for,” said Giancarlo Pietri, Principal of Urban Robot Associates. “The vibe of the residences is tranquil in tone and texture— meant to evoke a sense of calm and comfort; While the public spaces nestled within are spirited and full of personality."

In step with other Standard properties, residents will enjoy thoughtfully designed social spaces and amenities spanning 34,000 square feet across five floors. The expansive lobby will inspire residents to connect, work and play – with lounge areas and a Café. A lushly landscaped rooftop creates an elevated outdoor experience with a 60-foot, resort-style sunset pool, and signature rooftop restaurant and bar reminiscent of the vibe The Standard pioneered from LA to New York to London.

Wellness offerings include a state-of-the-art sweat room and fitness center, an infrared sauna, an indoor pickleball court, and yoga and stretch studios. A social floor features a karaoke bar and screening room, while co-working spaces include a private boardroom and zoom rooms. A pet spa rounds out The Standard Residences’ anything but standard amenity package. In addition, the ground floor of the property will showcase 10,000 square feet of retail boutiques selected by The Standard’s in-house team.

A dedicated Standard concierge will be available around the clock to assist owners and direct cultural and community programming. Residents will also gain access to The Standard’s “Friends with Benefits” program, which earns them preferred pricing at all The Standard hotel properties around the world.

The Standard Residences will be located at 3100 NE 1st Avenue, Miami, FL 33137. The project is set to break ground in 2022 with expected completion by mid-2023.

Major Food Group To Open Sadelle's In Coconut Grove At Former Tigertail + Mary Retail Condo Which Just Sold For For $5.5 Million

The Related Group and Terra Group joint venture that developed Park Grove in Coconut Grove has sold two retail condos in Park Grove including the former Tigertail + Mary restaurant space. Major Food Group, the restauranteurs behind Carbone and ZZ Sushi Club, will open their Sadelle’s concept at the former Tigertail + Mary space. The retail condo spans 5,731 SF with 1,000 SF of additional outdoor space/ seating and sold for $5,500,000. Fabio and Sebastian Faerman of FA Commercial at Fortune International Realty represented the sellers.

This marks the second transaction in 1 week for FA Commercial in the same building, selling out the commercial units in the park grove residences. The Related-Terra joint venture also sold the retail condo on the ground floor of Park Grove Residences, a three-tower luxury condo development, to a Mexican investment group for $6 million. That space spans just under 10,000 SF. FA Commercial represented the buyer and seller in that deal.

World's Wealthiest Dog Selling Madonna's Former Miami Estate For $32 Million

The world’s wealthiest dog is about to get a little richer. Worth nearly half a billion dollars, the German Shepherd named Gunther VI just listed the former Miami estate of the global pop star, Madonna, for $31.75 Million.

Situated in one of the most desired locations in Miami, the private estate sits on a 51,000-sq.ft lot with 100 feet of water frontage featuring lush landscaping, breathtaking open bay and city views, and a dock to soak in the South Florida sunshine. Spanning 8,400-sq.ft, with 9 bedrooms and 8.5 bathrooms, the residence is one of only six waterfront homes in the exclusive enclave.

To land the coveted listing, expert real estate agents Ruthie and Ethan Assouline with The Assouline Team at Compass had to undergo a rigorous “sniff test” and received a bark of approval from Gunther VI before entrusting them with the sale of the property.

Gunther VI inherited his vast fortune, and the Miami estate, from his grandfather Gunther IV who purchased it from the pop star over 20 years ago. The canine comes from a lineage that dates back 40 years and 6 generations. Gunther III inherited a multimillion-dollar trust when his owner the late German countess Karlotta Liebenstein died in 1992.

Since then, the humans who manage the canine’s estate have amassed a fortune worth nearly $500 Million and invested Gunther’s money to snatch up mansions and villas all over the world, from Miami to Tuscany (his primary residence), Florence and Milan—and invested in various sectors from real estate to publishing, sports teams, nightclubs and scientific research to uncover the secret to living a life of happiness.

According to the dictates of his legacy, Gunther’s bloodline have all lived a life full of love, joy and pleasure in the lap of luxury – with a group of handlers, maids and butlers to tend to the pampered pooch’s every need. The jet-setting dog travels by private jet, eats steak and caviar for dinner, owns multiple yachts and collector cars, and even purchased rare $1.1 Million white truffle at auction. In recent years, Gunther Rescue was founded as a benefit society to help animals in need.

While Gunther VI embarks on the next phase of his journey, the new owner of this Miami estate will have the perfect opportunity to restore or build new in a prime location with a unique history that no one else in the world can claim.

3029 Brickell Avenue is currently listed for $31.75 Million by Ruthie & Ethan Assouline with The Assouline Team at Compass.

R&B Realty Group's Kobi Karp-Designed The Gateway at Wynwood Nears Completion Revealing Vibrant Mural

The Gateway at Wynwood, a Class A office building developed by R&B Realty Group and designed by renowned Miami architect Kobi Karp, is nearing completion. The long-awaited exterior garage cladding, which depicts a vibrant mural, has been fully installed just in time for Art Basel next month. Additionally, the rooftop deck has been completed and signage is going up around the building. 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. Wynwood, which used to be home to neglected warehouses, is seeing a construction boom of condos and apartments and, now, office buildings as well.

The Gateway at Wynwood will offer about 195,000 SF of leasable Class A office space and nearly 25,900 SF of prime street-level retail space. Kobi Karp designed the environmentally responsible building with flexible floorplans, a private rooftop terrace, gym, unique bay window system, 24/7 on-site security, vibrant exterior cladding, and 2:1,000 on-site covered parking. This summer, R&B Realty Group announced the building's first office lease signed with biotech company Veru Inc. The eight-year, 12,155-square-foot lease will serve as the company's global headquarters and triple Veru's current office space.

Wynwood has developed into a new office submarket in Miami, creating competition for more established office markets such as Downtown Miami, Brickell, Aventura and Coral Gables. Several big-name companies have made Wynwood their home, such as Spotify, Live Nation, Veru and Founders Fund. New zoning has also attracted many multifamily developers such as Related Group, Lennar, Fisher Brothers, and AMLI Residential, who recently broke ground on one of the largest mixed-use multifamily developments to ever break ground in Wynwood.

Witkoff And Monroe Capital Announce Restoration And Redevelopment Of Iconic Shore Club Hotel In Miami Beach

Witkoff and Monroe Capital have announced a partnership with world renowned Robert A.M. Stern Architects to restore and redevelop the iconic Shore Club Hotel at 1901 Collins Avenue in Miami Beach. On November 15th, 2021, Witkoff and Monroe Capital filed an application with the City of Miami Beach for approval of the renovation and redevelopment of the Shore Club and Cromwell property by the Historic Preservation Board.

The Shore Club Hotel, a South Beach institution since 1949, is a private residential resort and boutique hotel set within a lush botanical landscape on Miami Beach. The Mid-Century Modern or “MiMo” style Shore Club Hotel was combined in 2001 with the Cromwell Hotel, an Art Deco-style hotel built in 1939. Uniquely situated in the Miami Beach Architectural (Art Deco) District and listed in the National Register of historic places, the Shore Club Hotel, is a “club” in every aspect of the word, inviting a sense of exclusivity. 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.”

MITCHELL-INNES & NASH

Mitchell-Innes & Nash is pleased to announce its return to the Miami Design District with a winter exhibition space opening on Wednesday, November 24th. The first exhibition will be a group show featuring early works by Eddie Martinez alongside works by seven outsider, self-taught and American art brut artists that Martinez collects or is otherwise inspired by: Hawkins Bolden(1914-2005), Freddie Brice (1920-1998), David Butler (1898-1997), Willie Jinks (1921-2012), Ike Morgan (b. 1958), Mary T Smith (1904-1995) and Billy White (b. 1962). Taken together, the exhibition emphasizes a set of shared formal mannerisms between the artists: flatness rather than a sense of perspective, a graphic outline rather than finely wrought draughtsmanship.  The work contains a sense of speed, immediacy and improvisation.  Repeated figures assume a symbolic, spiritual or totemic quality.   

Dates: November 29 - December 4 from noon to 8pm, Sunday, December 5 from noon to 6 pm - Winter Exhibition

Location: 151 NE 41st Street, Suite 125

GOODMAN GALLERY

Goodman Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of new and existing bronze sculptures from William Kentridge's ongoing series of bronze glyphs, alongside a drawing from his most recent animated film, City Deep. Kentridge’s glyphs are a visual dictionary of sorts made up of a series of sculptures that form a vocabulary of symbols, representing a collection of everyday objects, suggested words, or icons that are ubiquitous in the artist's practice. The glyphs started as ink drawings and paper cut-outs, each on a single page from a dictionary. The drawings were transformed into bronzes, to embody the weight and character their shapes on paper suggested.

In their smaller formation, the glyphs can be arranged in order to construct sculptural sentences and rearranged to deny meaning. An example of this can be found in Drawing for City Deep (A Fault to be Discovered Later). City Deep is Kentridge's most recent film from his Drawings for Projection series. The film, grounded within Kentridge’s home city of Johannesburg, can be viewed as a counterpoint to the 1990 film, Mine, which depicts images of the deep-level mining industry. City Deep extends this depiction to the informal, surface-level “zama zama” miners who illegally work decommissioned mines on the edges of the formal mining economy.

Dates: November 24, 2021 - End of January 2022

Location: 151 NE 41st Street, Suite 123

Location: 3930 NE 2nd Ave Suite 202

JUAN CARLOS MALDONADO ART COLLECTION: THE POETICS OF EXACTNESS

Beyond minimal art –the historic movement– The Poetics of Exactness exhibit aims to explore the manifestations of a typically modern expressive desire that still remains present in the works of many contemporary artists: how can that order be accomplished –that minimum gesture whose materialization can cause a maximum effect in the psyche of its beholders? Drawing the boundary that separates an everyday object (one manufactured by industry, for example) from that special object that, for the lack of a more accurate descriptor, we still call a 'work of art'. Establishing this trait that separates a work of art from other objects of the world is, therefore, the job of many contemporary artists who, like many of their modern predecessors, produce what we could call a calculated, precise aesthetic –the poetics of exactness.

Dates: November 30 - December 5 | 10am - 6pm 

Location: 3841 NE 2nd Avenue,  Suite 201

CLIMAX BY JEAN THIERRY BESINS

Dates: November 2021 - February 2022

Location: Miami Design District Jungle Plaza

Electra America Hospitality Group Acquires The Conrad Miami Hotel In Brickell Arch Tower

Electra America Hospitality Group (EAHG), a joint venture between Electra America and AKA, has acquired the Conrad Miami hotel in Brickell for $75.33 million. The seller was AG-M Miami Hotel Owner LLC, a JV partnership between the Miami-based Mast Capital and the New York-based Angelo Gordon. The transaction was funded with a $58 million loan from OWS BCA Funding LLC. Andrew Dickey, Gregory Rumpel and Maciej Polek of JLL represented the seller in the transaction.

The Conrad Miami hotel is located in the Brickell Arch Tower, an iconic, 36-story mixed-use tower on Brickell Avenue in the heart of Miami’s financial district. The hotel includes 201 guestrooms, an 11-story atrium, a sky lobby, a fitness and spa facility, a rooftop swimming pool, event venues including, ballroom, small meetings and pre-function spaces. The hotel will be converted to “Hotel AKA Brickell,” immediately following acquisition, offering a mix of short-term and extended-stay lodging options catering to the upscale leisure and corporate traveler.

This marks EAHG’s third hotel acquisition since the joint ventured launched in early 2021 with the intent to acquire and reposition underperforming hotels in gateway cities. EAHG also recently acquired a 194-room hotel in New York City and another 178-room hotel in Old Town Alexandria in the Washington, D.C. metro area. It also marks AKA’s entry into the robust Miami market. AKA, which specializes in accommodations designed for longer stays with exceptional business, wellness, and lifestyle amenities in well-known neighborhoods, operates 14 properties in New York City, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Los Angeles and London.

“In our initial six months, EAHG has been extremely active and all right down the fairway of our business plan,” said Russ Urban, CEO of EAHG. “All are in extremely high growth gateway markets with a balance of transient and corporate business not reliant on the lagging group segment. In addition to the already recovered leisure market, the acquisition of the Brickell Miami property is particularly exciting because of the recent tsunami of corporate relocations to Miami. Dozens of high-profile technology firms and financial institutions from New York and internationally have announced plans to open offices in Miami’s downtown and Brickell neighborhoods. Now, more than ever, we are confident that corporate and business-related travel will return strong and that high-end, multi-night stay properties in Miami’s urban core will be in high demand.”

“We’ve always envisioned AKA in Miami, a market that is globally appealing, vibrant and filled with opportunity,” said Larry Korman, President of AKA and co-CEO of Korman Communities. “Finding the perfect property is always a journey, and we knew we found a gem in this architecturally significant and well-located high-rise offering. The breadth of design, culture and energy adds great synergy with the DNA of AKA, and we are beyond thrilled to introduce the AKA brand to Brickell Miami.”

EAHG intends to invest roughly $11 million in additional renovations to the property. The joint venture plans to remain active in pursuing other hotel opportunities in Miami, New York and Washington D.C., as well as in cities including Los Angeles and London.

Located at 1395 Brickell Avenue, Hotel AKA Brickell Miami is located in Brickell submarket, the city’s leading office market anchored by primarily financial, marketing and technology and travel sectors throughout the US, Europe and Central and South America. Microsoft, Silicon Valley Bank and CI Financial are among the companies that recently announced new offices in Brickell.
