MG Developer Celebrates Grand Opening Of Gables Village Showroom in Coral Gables

MG Developer has officially opened the showroom for their newest and most exclusive project, “Gables Village,” a 48-residence collection inspired by the province of Seville, Spain. The intimate ribbon cutting ceremony was attended by Mayor Vince Lago, and several City commissioners, LESTE, VYV, Linkvest Capital, ONE Capital, investors for the development, as well as ONE Sotheby’s, the exclusive broker, for Gables Village. The new sales center is located at 2990 Ponce de Leon Boulevard in Coral Gables.

Mark Trowbridge, President of the Coral Gables Chamber of Commerce was the Emcee for the event.

“We are thrilled to be here with all of you today in this stunning new gallery, getting a glimpse of our future. We are very proud to be a part of bringing Gables Village to life in our City,” said, City of Coral Gables, Mayor Vince Lago. “We have never seen a project of this magnitude, receive such praise since it was first introduced to the City. MG Developer understands the importance of building residences that fall in line with our City’s rich history, tradition and aesthetic values, which our City is known for. We are all eager to see this vibrant community come to fruition.”

The $50 million development will be completed by 2024 and will pay homage to George Merrick’s legacy, and original vision, for this parcel of the City Beautiful in a classic, yet modern way.

“We are so excited about opening our first showroom as we get closer to breaking ground on Gables Village,” said Alirio Torrealba, CEO, MG Developer. “I want to give a special thanks to our partners that entrusted in us. These partnerships solidify our vision for building luxurious residences in one of the most sought cities in the world. We are excited about Gables Village, the City’s future and growing our partnerships,”

“This gallery provides buyers with a preview and chance to see, touch and feel all of the modern touchpoints and luxurious finishes they can soon find in their home. It will truly inspire people to want to be in Coral Gables and be part of this new luxurious enclave.”

The project itself is located at 535 Santander Avenue and will include townhomes, duplexes, lofts, flats and an archway with raised residences above ground level, creating a distinct welcoming feeling into the Gables Village enclave. It will be set throughout 17 lots, replacing the existing rental apartments bordered by Malaga Avenue, Santander Avenue, Segovia Street and Hernando Street.

Inspired by Merrick’s seven villages, Gables Village will be built in a Mediterranean Revival-Style Architecture, designed by De La Guardia Victoria Architects & Urbanists, and bordered by gardens inspired by the alcoves in the Plaza de España. Units will vary in style and sizes including, one-bedroom flats to four- bedroom townhomes that range size, from 1,750 sq. ft. to 3,100 sq. ft. The village will also boast recreational amenities, including a multipurpose room, a pool, and a Wellness Center for residents to enjoy. Construction for the project starts in the Fall of 2022 and will be completed in 2024.

“We take a lot of pride in building in the City Beautiful and the communities we build are for the people that enjoy the sophisticated lifestyle Coral Gables has to offer. We develop luxury residences that inspire, and this new gallery does just that. As soon as you walk in, you feel in awe and right at home at the same time,” added Torrealba.

MG Developer, led by Alirio Torrealba, is the City’s most active residential developer having completed its newest project, Althea Row, which nearly sold-out in less than 90 days. MG will soon wrap-up its Biltmore Square community, as it completes Biltmore Row, the 10 exclusive townhomes featuring a total of 5,561 square feet each, with elaborate coralina-stoned entryways that trace back to the heritage of classical design elements found in Spanish colonial architecture.

Miami Dolphins Star Tyreek Hill Opens Soul Runner Experiential Pop-Up In Aventura Mall

The newest Miami Dolphins star Tyreek Hill has opened a pop-up for Soul Runner, his motivational athletic wear brand, in Aventura Mall. On August 11, Hill hosted a special grand opening attended by NFL stars such as AJ Greene and Cedrick Wilson, as well as influencers such as Zach “That’s a Dot” Lewis and Lahgriddy, attracting large crowds to the Soul Runner Pop-Up as fans tried to get a look at the Dolphin’s star receiver. Hill debuted the new Soul Runner store and collection as well as recorded an episode of his “It Needed To Be Said” Podcast live with special guest Jake Paul.

Rooted in the vision of a “spirit in motion,” Soul Runner is inspired by unwavering faith and the meditative, therapeutic influence of putting one’s body, life and soul in a forward motion. According to Hill, the uplifting mission of the brand is grounded in the choices one makes in the face of adversity – “either running away from fear or running towards a new goal” – and dedicated to those who take the high road in the endless pursuit of a better future.

Nicknamed “Cheetah,” Hill was acquired by the Dolphins from the Kansas City Chiefs this March. He was a Super Bowl Champion in 2019, has been selected to the Pro Bowl in all six seasons of his NFL career, and was chosen as a member of the 2010s NFL All-Decade Team.

The Soul Runner pop-up at Aventura Mall features exclusive new Soul Runner styles, including new premium heavyweight tees, premium heavyweight hoodies and women’s crop tops. Additionally, the experiential pop-up has a performance zone with light workout equipment where workout classes will be hosted throughout the month in collaboration with its fitness partners.

“Aventura Mall is an iconic destination and I’m thrilled to debut the Soul Runner pop-up in a South Florida landmark alongside so many great brands,” says Hill. “To launch our first store in Miami is a dream, especially as I’m embarking on a new journey here myself. I feel lucky to be in such a vibrant place.”

The Soul Runner mindset originated during Hill’s childhood when he was faced with opportunities to join gangs. He and his friends took a different direction, forming a group called the “Soul Runners.” Deviating from gangs, the Soul Runners embarked on a lifelong journey dedicated to creating a better future for themselves and those around them.

“Hard work is contagious. When you push yourself, it pushes others and drives everyone to be better. This is what Soul Runner is all about,” says Hill. “I’m still ‘Soul Running.’ It never ends.”

The Soul Runner pop-up at Aventura Mall is located on the Lower Level near Bloomingdale’s.

James Beard Award-Winning Restaurant Group Hai Hospitality To Open 'Uchiko' to Eighteen Sunset In Sunset Harbour

James Beard Award-winning group Hai Hospitality, the group behind Wynwood hotspot Uchi, will bring its acclaimed Uchiko restaurant concept to Miami Beach’s popular Sunset Harbour neighbored. Uchiko will be located in Eighteen Sunset, a mixed-use project being developed by Deco Capital. Hai Hospitality signed a lease for 6,000 square feet of street-level restaurant space and is planning to open in 2024.

Uchiko, the Japanese concept that launched in Austin, Texas and helped fuel the city’s rise as a dining destination, will be located on the ground floor of the project, along Purdy Avenue, within the walkable neighborhood of Sunset Harbour known as one of South Florida’s most beloved lifestyle destinations. Slated to open in 2024, the restaurant will feature 180 indoor seats, including approximately 35 outdoor patio seats. Uchiko, recently recognized by Open Table as one of the top 100 restaurants in the US and lauded by GQ Magazine as one of the best new restaurants in America when it first opened, will open its third location in Miami Beach, following locations in Austin and Houston.

The menu at Uchiko constantly evolves. Uchiko Miami guests can expect signature bold flavors with hints of smoke and char that differentiate Uchiko from its sibling Uchi. Uchiko balances richness and delicacy with its interpretation of raw fish at the sushi bar alongside wood-fired items and Yakitori-grilled options. Uchiko Miami will also offer a full bar with hard-to-find Japanese whiskeys and a well-rounded and inventive cocktail menu.

“We quickly fell in love with the energy of Miami when we opened our first Florida Uchi location in 2021,” said Hai Hospitality CEO Tony Montero. “When we found the Eighteen Sunset development, we knew it would be the perfect location to continue to grow in Miami with Uchiko, and we’re looking forward to adding to both the energy of the city and Sunset Harbour with Uchiko Miami.”

“Uchiko is one of the country’s most innovative restaurant concepts, and Miami Beach is among the world’s most vibrant dining destinations. Uchiko at Eighteen Sunset is destined to become a favorite spot for the growing number of residents and visitors setting their sights on South Florida,” said Deco Capital Group Founder Bradley Colmer.

Eighteen Sunset is Deco Capital’s latest mixed-use development, rising five stories directly across from Biscayne Bay. The ground floor is home to 17,000 square feet of restaurant and retail space, a central cobblestone breezeway and cantilevered, covered sidewalk connecting to Maurice Gibb Park.
