Clara Homes, a Miami-based real estate development firm founded by James Curnin, has received the approval for its third building and site plan at Clara Bay Harbor, a three-building ultra-luxury rental community in Miami's Bay Harbor neighborhood. Located from 10200 to 10290 East Bay Harbor Drive, the project's third and final six-story building will feature 77 expansive apartments as the largest of the three, spanning 1.3 acres. The site is the largest of the three spanning 1.3 acres, and following this latest city approval, construction is set to commence in 2024 for the third building. Clara Bay Harbor is a luxury rental community near Bal Harbour and Indian Creek, set to reinvigorate the Bay Harbor neighborhood into a premier luxury living destination with New York-style, personalized service and a spread of amenities including coworking lounges and rooftop pool.

As Clara Homes achieved approval for the third building, the firm also separately negotiated the purchase of Transfer of Development Rights (TDRs) from the Town of Bay Harbor Islands, a rare occurrence representing the need for rental product in the neighborhood and the trust the city has in the developer.

Int total Clara Bay Harbor will deliver a collective 150 luxury rental residences to Miami’s Bay Harbor neighborhood. The three buildings it comprises are being developed concurrently and cohesively, each with their own dedicated suite of amenities and services.

The first building, located at 10281 West Bay Harbor Drive, broke ground this February. Expected to open in fall 2024, it will feature 28 two- to five-bedroom apartments. Groundbreaking for the second building of Clara Bay Harbor, located at 1147-1163 100th Street, will take place later this year. With 45 expansive apartments, the site totals to about 145,000 gross square feet.

Clara Bay Harbor is Clara Homes’ first South Florida multifamily development, following the firm’s success developing, building and selling numerous Miami and Los Angeles luxury spec homes for above market rate prices.

Founded in 2014 by James Curnin, Clara Homes is a Miami-based, vertically integrated real estate firm offering residential and commercial development, operations oversight and custom homes. With work spanning South Florida to Los Angeles, the company has collaborated with some of the industry’s most innovative architecture firms, including Vertoch Design Architects, McClean Design and Strang Design, to differentiate its portfolio from others in the market.

LOFTY Brickell Commissions Two More Artists For Its Rare NFT Collective To Be Gifted To Buyers At Closing

Forward-thinking real estate developer Newgard Development Group has commissioned two additional artists to create one-of-a-kind NFT pieces for its LOFTY Brickell condominium project. Newgard is integrating digital art into the DNA of the new residential building while transferring ownership of a custom NFT to each unit owner.

The NFT Collective launched in March 2022 with Miami-based multi-disciplinary artist Carlos Betancourt, who is creating a unique digital art piece for buyers of studio and one-bedroom units. The two new Miami artists—Douglas Hoekzema, known professionally as HOXXOH, and E-uphoria by Alessia Moccia, will create NFTs for buyers of two-bedroom units and penthouse residences, respectively. Newgard partnered with the New York-based art consulting group Indiewalls to curate the artists.

“This is the first time we know of where a condominium will display a commissioned NFT collection throughout the entire building, and the first-time owners will receive a unique digital art piece when they purchase their units,” said Newgard CEO Harvey Hernandez. “Each piece is inspired by Miami’s history, diversity and incredible energy, taking you into an immersive experience of time, culture, lifestyle and awakening of the city.”

HOXXOH’s artwork focuses on the relationship between man and time, depicting time as a sweet ride that flows, mixing spontaneously with precision. His work is ever-evolving in style, emphasizing mark-making and color to give life to fluid painterly shapes and patterns embedded in a philosophical approach. Through repetitions and analyses, he has managed to recreate the characteristic harmony of contingency, revealing the aesthetic qualities of controlled chaos.

He has created a piece called Blue Fountain for the LOFTY buyers.

“It is fascinating to see how the NFT marketplace helps artists find their own lane through digital art,” said HOXXOH. “As Lofty Brickell launches a limited collection of elevated residences through a collective of globally renowned designers, architects, and artists, I can’t help but find a certain symbiosis with our collaboration on the upcoming exclusive NFT release.”

E-uphoria by Alessia Moccia is one of a growing number of female street photographers making a name for themselves. Also, an NFT collector, she brings a unique perspective to the genre with her dreamlike and distinct imagery. She takes the ordinary and turns it into the extraordinary, infusing her compositions with galaxies, moons and planets to create surreal and captivating scenes.

Her NFT art piece for penthouse buyers is called Rest in Glow.

"Integrating NFT art into a luxury building is like adding a touch of enchantment to elevate the experience of living to a whole new level. It's a beautiful way to capture the essence of art and technology, and create a truly mesmerizing living space,” Moccia said.

Originally from Rome, Moccia now spends her time between Miami and New York. She won an Honorable Mention at the 2022 International Photography Awards.

LOFTY is a 44-story waterfront luxury condominium high-rise under development on the Miami River in the heart of Miami’s financial district. It is the most elevated offering in Newgard’s flexible ownership concept. At over 92% sold, LOFTY is already one of the Miami condo market’s most successful projects under development.

Designed by Arquitectonica, the 362-unit LOFTY features 309 tower residences including studio, one- and two-bedroom units that will be furnished by INC. They sit alongside 40,000 square feet of thoughtfully curated amenities, including a private marina, a members-only social club, resort pool deck and fitness center, indoor cigar lounge, co-working lounge and meeting rooms.

With tower units sold out, just a few residences in the LOFTY Signature Penthouse Collection remain available for purchase. The Signature Penthouse Collection offers spacious two, three, and three-bedroom plus den residences that will be curated and furnished by revered design firm Artefacto. Starting at $2.2 million, they represent the best value in penthouse homes in the Brickell submarket.

Located across from Brickell City Centre, LOFTY is the next evolution of condominium ownership. It brings a 5-star alternative for the owner and traveler who prefers to stay and own differently – yet does not want to compromise on hotel services and amenities. Each residence will be delivered fully finished and furnished and, with professional management, will permit short-term rentals.

Cervera Real Estate serves as the exclusive sales and marketing partner for LOFTY Brickell.

LOFTY Brickell is located at 99 SW Seventh St., Miami, FL 33130. For more information and updates, visit www.LoftyBrickell.com.

Alex Karakhanian of LNDMRK Development has sold a trophy commercial building in Miami’s MiMo District fronting Biscayne Blvd for $6 Million.

Music Mogul Rick Ross Closes On 37 Star Island For $35 Million

Music mogul and rap superstar Rick Ross has officially closed on 37 Star Island Drive for $35 million. Ross says the purchase was "a major piece to the puzzle" in building his already robust real estate portfolio. 37 Star Island Drive is a 12,374 square foot, 6 bedroom home situated on a manicured 40,000-square foot lot with 100-feet of waterfront on Miami Beach’s exclusive and ritzy Star Island.

Jill Eber, Jill Hertzberg, Felise Eber, and Fabio Lopes of The Jills Zeder Group represented the seller, Yale R. Brown, the president of IMS Ventures and the managing partner of Columbus Ventures. Kimberly Knausz with ONE Sotheby's International Realty and Ross’ sister Tawanda Roberts, a real estate agent with Florida Realty of Miami, represented the buyer, Rick Ross, a rapper and record executive.

“He instantly fell in love with the grand entry, it has a very long driveway stretching towards the mansion that creates an air of real luxury. The architecture also played a part as it’s far beyond the ordinary modern home and he plans to enhance it to reflect his personal style,” said Knausz.

The gated Star Island has long been one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Miami, just across the MacArthur Causeway from the entrance to Fisher Island and Miami Beach’s South of Fifth neighborhood. Star Island is a man-made island in the middle of Biscayne Bay and located in the city of Miami Beach. The island was built by the Army Corps of Engineers in 1922 as part of a dredging project and was developed by Carl Fisher into an island for the rich and famous. The island is now home to celebrities and billionaires such as Gloria and Emilio Estefan, Philip Frost, Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, Alex Rodriguez, Stuart Miller and Vladislav Doronin.

In March 2023 PROFILEmiami reported that Star Island had emerged as the leader among the most expensive neighborhoods in the United States, leading Port Royal in Naples, FL and Beverly Hill’s Beverly Hills Gateway and Trousdale Estates, according to sales data from Zillow Group Inc. The average home sale on the ritzy island in 2022 traded for $40.2 million, up $16.7 million and 71% from 2019 when the average home sale on the island was $23.5 million.

Over the past several years hedge fund heavyweight Ken Griffin, founder Citadel, has purchased an assemblage of five properties on the island for a combined $170 million. In 2018 Lennar Executive Chairman Stuart Miller acquired Thomas Kramer's former 4 and 5 Star Island Drive for $33 million and also developed an ultra-luxury spec home at 22 Star Island with Todd Michael Glaser which was designed by DOMO Design and sold for $49.5 million in an off-market deal overseen by David Solomon and David Miller in 2020.

37 Star Island Drive features a 12,374 square foot residence is situated on a manicured 40,000 square foot lot, featuring 100 feet of water frontage facing Biscayne Bay and offers direct bay and ocean access. The home spans six bedrooms plus an office space, eight full bathrooms and one-half bathroom. Elegant design and linear architectural details are featured throughout the home, plus custom millwork and use of rich woods, octagon-shaped ceiling accents with custom lighting, and oversized “Plaza Deck” terraces.

This impressive entry foyer greets with soaring 30-foot ceilings with a rotunda ceiling accent, while surrounding glass walls encase the foyer appearing to bring the outside water feature into the home. A custom hand-crafted winding mahogany-travertine staircase leads to a second-floor landing and seating area that overlooks the living room below and provides direct views to the pool and bay.

The oversized formal living room also features 30-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows streaming natural light, a custom-built fireplace with mahogany and burled wood accents, and direct access to a covered terrace with views to the pool and bay.

The chef’s kitchen offers granite countertops, a cooking and prep center island, top-of-the-line appliances and a large food pantry. A large butler’s pantry, a separate breakfast room and a spacious private dining room are adjacent to the kitchen.

Also on the first floor is an expansive entertainment/media room, an office den with rich mahogany paneled walls and beautiful custom detailed millwork, staff quarters with full bathroom, and full laundry room.
