Miami Condo Developer Changing The Game

Miami is a mecca for global consumers seeking year-round sunshine, nightlife, and culture, framed by endless sophistication. From stunning scenery and pristine beaches, the Magic City is a feast for the senses.

While developers and hospitality visionaries are playing a prominent role making Miami the most photogenic and desirable city to live, work and play, an evolutionary approach to condo ownership is changing the real estate game, led by Harvey Hernandez, founder and CEO of Miami’s Newgard Development Group. Hernandez is betting on next-generation condos and his latest, LOFTY Brickell, delivers fully finished and furnished turn-key residences purposefully designed and licensed to be shared in the heart of Brickell, along the riverfront. 

Hernandez is known for creating signature towers with contemporary designs and a curated lifestyle in unbeatable locations – from Miami to Austin. LOFTY - scheduled to break ground later this year - is set to elevate city living to an art form, unlike anything Miami has ever experienced. 

“We recognize we’re in a state of tremendous transition, and increasing numbers of people are discovering they can live and work from anywhere,” says Hernandez, who has spent more than 20 years revitalizing high-end residential markets and developing innovative properties. 

With this increased demand, Hernandez is making strides with concepts like Natiivo Austin and Natiivo Miami. Both condominiums, which debuted four years ago, are the first towers created exclusively for flexible ownership and home-sharing – and set the precedent for developers to monetize units in a unique way. It is no surprise the two condominiums sold out completely before breaking ground, attracting buyers with its then-innovative concept. 

Today, Nativvo is accessible via all homestay platforms offering bespoke amenities, 24/7 services, and access to a proprietary app for owners to seamlessly manage personal use and third-party bookings. National demand for short-term rentals continue to boom, spurred by the freedom to work remotely, allowing Newgard to have dreamt up a successful concept before its time.

Now, with the addition of LOFTY to his portfolio, Hernandez is becoming one of the most talked-about developers, known for tapping coveted relationships with bold-faced names like Paulo Bacchi, CEO of Artefacto, for a first-ever branded PH collection.

He also partnered with internationally renowned multidisciplinary artist Carlos Betancourt to offer the first-ever NFT art collection designed for condo owners. 

“This significant investment in next-generation art aligns with our forward-thinking vision for the future of home ownership,” says Hernandez. “Whether our owners are already NFT collectors or new to the space, this first-of-its-kind offering will create memorable shared experiences for our residents while delivering added value to our buyer’s portfolios.”  

With a name synonymous with luxury real estate and decades of experience selling Miami, it is no surprise Cervera Real Estate is the exclusive sales and marketing agent for Nativvo and LOFTY. “It is truly an honor to partner with Harvey and help bring his vision to life,” says Alicia Cervera, managing partner. “We are excited to see the long-term impact of these game-changing towers.”

Shoma Group Launches Condo Sales At Shoma Bay In North Bay Village

Miami-based developer Shoma Group has launched sales for Shoma Bay, a 21-story, 327-unit condominium on the corner of the 79th Street Causeway and East Treasure Drive in the waterfront community of North Bay Village. The 2.8-acre mixed-use development will be anchored by a 36,068-square-foot Publix and 6,325 square feet of retail space, which includes a rooftop lounge and a Shoma Bazaar food hall. ISG World, led by principal and owner Craig Studnicky, is the exclusive brokerage for the property’s condos. Prices start at $400,000.

“North Bay Village is an extremely desirable location in Miami thanks to its fantastic water views on all sides, rich history and proximity to the beaches, the Design District and Bal Harbour,” said Masoud Shojaee, CEO and Chairman of the Board at Shoma Group. “There is incredible demand to live in South Florida and we are meeting this demand by creating brand new condos and a city-within-a-city community where residents will have top notch dining, shopping and entertainment at their doorstep.”

The condominiums at Shoma Bay will range from 360-square-foot furnished studios to 1,447-square-foot three-bedroom units. They will offer striking water views of Biscayne Bay, modern appliances with sleek finishes, and floor plans designed to maximize efficiency and comfort, as well as close proximity to nearby shopping, dining, and school options.

North Bay Village has long been one of Miami’s best kept secrets and we’re already seeing a surge of buyers who are extremely eager to be part of it.”

Shoma Bay was designed by MSA Architects with interiors by renowned designer Adriana Hoyos. Both designers worked with North Bay Village’s historic legacy and art-deco style in mind, paying homage to its popular restaurant and nightlife scenes in the 1950s and 60s. It will rise on the site of what once was Rat Pack crooner Dean Martin’s nightclub in the 1960s and 70s.

"North Bay Village has a rich history that's just one facet of what makes it so unique, and we are thrilled to have a hand in its next chapter,” said Stephanie Shojaee, President of Shoma Group. “We are excited for Shoma Bay to offer not only an exceptional place to live but also an essential amenity with fantastic dining and entertainment experiences for all residents of North Bay Village to enjoy."

Ken Griffin Revealed As Buyer Behind The Record Breaking $106 Million Deal For Adrienne Arsht's Bayfront Estate

When a residential sale crossed the $100 million threshold for the first time in Miami-Dade County history in August as The Arsht Estate sold for $106,875,000, many wondered who the mystery buyer was. It has been revealed that multi-billionaire hedge fund magnate Ken Griffin, who founded and recently moved Citadel Securities from Chicago to Miami, was the buyer in the mega-transaction for the four-acre waterfront compound which was formerly owned by Adrienne Arsht. Ashley Cusack with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices EWM Realty represented Arsht and Jill Hertzberg of The Jills Zeder Group with Coldwell Banker represented the undisclosed buyer later revealed to be Griffin.

Neighbored by the historic Vizcaya Museum, The Arsht Estate encompasses more than 25,000 square feet of exquisitely detailed structures. Overlooking Biscayne Bay from atop one of Miami’s highest bayfront elevations, it features more than 400 feet of water frontage, as well as panoramic views of Key Biscayne and downtown Miami. Throughout the years, the property -- often referred to as South Florida’s “embassy” -- has been the backdrop for numerous important events and gatherings involving international luminaries, including U.S. presidents, ambassadors, and world leaders. The Arsht Estate features two connected estates, a primary residence, known as Indian Spring, which was built by Arsht in 1999 and designed by Jose A. Gelabert-Navia; as well as Villa Serena, which was built in 1913 by former U.S. Secretary of State and three-time U.S. presidential candidate William Jennings Bryan and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

After announcing earlier this year that both Citadel and Citadel securities will move to Miami from Chicago, Griffin has been on a buying and expansion spree. Citadel signed a lease for 95,000 SF at OKO Group’s 830 Brickell office tower. At roughly the same time, through an entity Griffin acquired the adjacent 1250 Brickell Bay Drive and 1260 Brickell Bay Drive for $20 million, the lots total roughly 6,655 SF. The lots are adjacent to 1221 Brickell Avenue, which an entity tied to Citadel reportedly acquired in June 2022 for $286.5 million.

The assemblage of properties spanning from 1221 Brickell Avenue to 1250-1260 Brickell Bay Drive is across the street from 1201 Brickell Bay Drive, which Citadel was revealed as the buyer of after Tibor Hollo’s Florida East Coast Realty sold the 2.5 acre supertall development lot in a $363 million mega-deal also in April 2022. The price equated to $145 million per acre, $3,340 PSF dirt value. Citadel is planning to develop the property with the Chicago-based developer Sterling Bay.

Ken Griffin’s net-worth is estimated to be about $31 billion and he has been one of the largest luxury property buyers in the world over the past several years. Also in Miami, Griffin has spent years and $170 million acquiring a Star Island assemblage. He made a splash when he acquired 8 Star Island Drive, a teardown built in 1993 on 1.8-acres, for $75 million. The sale set record for single-family home sales in Miami-Dade County at the time, a record Griffin is no stranger breaking. Griffin has also acquired the adjacent 10 Star Island for $25 million and 11 and 12 Star Island Drive in an off-market deal for roughly $37 million and 13 Star Island for $32.5 million. The acquisitions total $170 million.

In 2015 Griffin purchased two penthouses in Faena House on Miami Beach for a record at the time $60 million, he later sold them off for a combined $46 million. In 2019 Griffin purchased a $240 million unit at 220 Central Park South in Manhattan, NYC, in a deal that broke the record for the most expensive residential transaction ever recorded in the U.S. In Palm Beach Griffin has assembled $350 million of land at Blossom Way and South Ocean Blvd. where he began buying in 2012.

South Florida-based Two Roads Development has announced plans for EDITION Residences, Miami Edgewater, the brand’s first independent collection of fully serviced luxury condominium residences.

Construction is slated to begin in Summer 2023, with an estimated delivery timeframe of 36 months.

Over the last decade, Two Roads Development has helped transform Miami’s Edgewater district into one of the city’s most sought-after residential neighborhoods. EDITION Residences, Miami Edgewater are poised to become the firm’s third development in Edgewater, following the successful sellout and delivery of two previously completed luxury condominium towers in the highly-desired waterfront enclave. Sales and marketing for EDITION Residences, Miami Edgewater is being exclusively represented by Douglas Elliman Development Marketing.

The tower’s impeccably finished residences will range from one-bedroom-plus-den to four-bedroom floorplans measuring between 1,952 and 3,864 square feet in size, priced from $1.7 million.

A heightened level of personalization, privacy, and comfort will offer residents a one-of-a-kind experience to leverage the expertise of EDITION to customize defining elements of their homes. Every residence will showcase a private foyer and elevator entry, superior finishes and fixtures, floor-to-ceiling glass windows and doors, between 10- and 14-foot-high ceilings, and custom European-style cabinetry. Designed for indoor-outdoor living, spacious terraces will boast unobstructed views of Biscayne Bay, the Atlantic Ocean, Downtown Miami and the Miami Beach skyline.

A globally recognized design team, Studio Munge, curated a place-making aesthetic that draws inspiration from the brand’s sleek and modern aesthetic. The tower’s interiors will exude warmth and tranquility, marrying timeless sophistication with contemporary design for an effortless living experience with unrivaled service. Bernardo Fort-Brescia’s architectural design for the tower responds to its waterfront location, revealing a crystalline moon-like glass prism that alludes to Biscayne Bay’s romantic moonlight, while floorplans reference the prows of sleek sailboats racing off Miami’s coastline. The property will also feature an array of secret gardens with lush greenery designed by global landscape architecture firm EDSA to capture the soft bay breeze and tranquility of a tropical oasis.

Deeply rooted in hospitality, the residential development will introduce over 45,000 square feet of expertly-thought-out amenity spaces managed and operated by EDITION.

Additional perks give jetsetter residents access to exclusive privileges across the world’s most iconic destinations, including VIP status and preferred rates at hotels within Marriott International’s luxury portfolio of brands.

Situated along the bayfront just north of Downtown Miami, nestled between the Venetian and Julia Tuttle Causeways – the two main arteries connecting the City of Miami and Miami Beach – Edgewater has fast-emerged as the new epicenter of Miami. The EDITION Residences, Miami Edgewater is minutes away from six coveted Michelin star restaurants, luxury retailers, live entertainment venues and world-class arts, adjacent to bustling enclaves like Downtown’s Arts & Entertainment District, Miami Design District, Wynwood Arts District, Midtown Miami, and Miami Beach.

Adrienne Arsht's Bayfront Estate Sells For Record $106 Million Becoming First Residential Property To Break $100 Million Threshold

For the first time in Miami-Dade County history, a residential property sale has crossed the $100 million threshold. The Arsht Estate, a four-acre waterfront compound owned by Adrienne Arsht, one of the most revered business leaders and philanthropists in the United States, sold today for $106,875,000.

Top-producing Senior Vice President Ashley Cusack with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices EWM Realty represented Arsht. Jill Hertzberg of The Jills Zeder Group with Coldwell Banker represented the buyer, who is undisclosed.

“As the steward of this beautiful property, I am proud to leave its legacy to the next generations of caretakers,” said Arsht. “May they also enjoy the breathtaking view!”

“It has been an honor to represent this landmark estate, which is truly one of the most magnificent in the U.S. -- fully steeped in Miami’s history,” said Cusack. “Pairing that prominence with Ms. Arsht’s commitment to community has been all the more impactful.”

Neighbored by the historic Vizcaya Museum, The Arsht Estate encompasses more than 25,000 square feet of exquisitely detailed structures. Overlooking Biscayne Bay from atop one of Miami’s highest bayfront elevations, it features more than 400 feet of water frontage, as well as panoramic views of Key Biscayne and downtown Miami. Throughout the years, the property -- often referred to as South Florida’s “embassy” -- has been the backdrop for numerous important events and gatherings involving international luminaries, including U.S. presidents, ambassadors, and world leaders.

The Arsht Estate’s primary residence, known as Indian Spring, was built by Arsht in 1999 and designed by Jose A. Gelabert-Navia, the former Dean of the University of Miami School of Architecture. All living areas in the home offer views of the grounds and Biscayne Bay. Built to accommodate grand-scale entertaining, additional highlights include a Great Room, expansive courtyard entryway, formal dining room with seating for more than 20 guests, a primary bedroom suite with a full gym, and a grand foyer with a sweeping staircase. Indian Spring also has a six-car garage with an upstairs apartment and private office, bayfront swimming pool, and a lighted tennis court.

The second residence, Villa Serena, was built in 1913 by former U.S. Secretary of State and three-time U.S. presidential candidate William Jennings Bryan and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Designed by architect August Geiger, the home also has unobstructed Biscayne Bay views and was carefully restored by Arsht to reflect its original glory. Its unique design includes two ornate staircases, which access private upstairs sleeping quarters, as well as a detached guest house situated above a three-car garage.

Arsht, a native Delawarean, divides her time among Washington, DC, Miami, and New York. In Miami, she was Chairman of the Board of TotalBank. Arsht’s vast philanthropy includes the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts in Miami; The Atlantic Council's Adrienne Arsht Latin America Center and Adrienne Arsht-Rockefeller Foundation Resilience Center, each located in Washington, DC; the Adrienne Arsht Stage at Alice Tully Hall in New York's Lincoln Center; and funding for the first all-paid internships at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

“This will be a very important day for future Miami historians,” said Ron Shuffield, President & CEO of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices EWM Realty. “The first residential property in Miami to surpass the $100 million sale mark will forever hold a prominent place in Miami’s history. Today’s record sale is a testament to the ever-increasing global interest in our hometown.”
