On Tuesday, June 24, the Coral Gables Museum hosted ‘A Comprehensive Analysis of Coral Gables’ presented by CORA Merrick Park, bringing one of the most extensive real estate market reports on Coral Gables to date. The event, titled The Evolution of Coral Gables, featured a panel discussion moderated by Demetri Demascus of PROFILEmiami and included key voices shaping the city’s future: Jay Phillip Parker, CEO of Douglas Elliman Florida; Eduardo Otaola of Constellation Group; Coral Gables Vice Mayor Rhonda Anderson; and Ana Bozovic of Ana Analytics. Together, the panel explored the growth trajectory of Coral Gables, including its appeal for families, the rising demand for wellness-focused living, public art initiatives, and pricing trends that have elevated the neighborhood’s real estate market in recent years.

The conversation also offered attendees a detailed, data-driven breakdown of Coral Gables' current housing inventory, future development pipeline, and the challenges developers face due to limited land supply and high barriers to entry. Ana Bozovic’s report highlighted how the scarcity of new, wellness-oriented residential products has created a distinct market gap—one that CORA Merrick Park is strategically designed to fill. The panelists also emphasized Coral Gables' long-term vision for development, focusing on sustainable growth, health-conscious living, and maintaining the architectural integrity of The City Beautiful.

CORA Merrick Park, developed by Constellation Group and The Boschetti Group, will be Coral Gables' first wellness-focused residential building and one of the city’s first to achieve WELL Certification. Designed with guidance from wellness consultants and Lamarca Well, CORA integrates cutting-edge health features such as advanced air and water filtration, biophilic design, smart wellness technology, and personalized wellness concierge services. Residents will enjoy amenities such as a rooftop padel court, spa and recovery facilities, fitness center, and resort-style pool, all carefully curated to promote physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

Slated for completion in 2027 at 4241 Aurora Street, CORA will offer 74 residences ranging from one- to three-bedroom plus den homes, with prices starting in the $900,000s. The project also includes over 8,000 square feet of retail, 13,000 square feet of office space, and a public park featuring a sculpture by renowned artist Jaume Plensa. CORA represents a new chapter for Coral Gables, blending luxury, culture, and wellness in the heart of Merrick Park, supported by Douglas Elliman Development Marketing as the exclusive residential sales brokerage.

Miami Beach City Commission Grants Final Approval for Terra’s Deauville Redevelopment

The long-awaited redevelopment of Miami Beach’s historic Deauville Hotel site has cleared its final hurdle, with the Miami Beach City Commission granting full approval to Terra’s development plans. The decision, made on Friday, June 27, finalizes zoning, land use, building height, and public-benefit commitments, paving the way for a major transformation of the iconic North Beach property.

The long-awaited redevelopment of Miami Beach’s historic Deauville Hotel site has cleared its final hurdle, with the Miami Beach City Commission granting full approval to Terra’s development plans. The decision, made on Friday, June 27, finalizes zoning, land use, building height, and public-benefit commitments, paving the way for a major transformation of the iconic North Beach property. With development plans now fully approved by the City Commission, the next step will be a review by the Historic Preservation Board later this year to evaluate design details and preservation components.

Terra’s plans include a partial reconstruction of the hotel’s historic elements, a new residential tower designed by Foster + Partners, major infrastructure upgrades, and a $7.5 million contribution toward the revitalization of the Byron Carlyle Cultural Center. The plan also commits to significant public benefits, including infrastructure improvements, increased beach access, public parking, and cultural investments. The overall project will feature reduced density compared to previous proposals, aimed at minimizing traffic congestion, infrastructure strain, and environmental impacts.

David Martin, CEO of Terra, described the Commission’s approval as a pivotal moment for both the Deauville site and the broader North Beach community. “The approval marks a major step forward in restoring the site’s historic and cultural significance,” Martin said. “With this green light, Terra is now fully committed to delivering a world-class development that reflects the community’s values, prioritizing architectural excellence, environmental responsibility, and meaningful public benefit.”

Originally built in 1957, the Deauville Hotel once stood as a symbol of Miami Beach’s golden era, famously hosting the Beatles’ first U.S. television performance. In recent years, however, the property fell into disrepair and was ultimately demolished following structural decline. Terra’s redevelopment aims to honor the Deauville’s legacy while contributing to North Beach’s long-term growth.

Public benefits included in Terra’s redevelopment plans include enhanced stormwater infrastructure to address flooding, two new pedestrian pathways connecting to the beachwalk, 150 public parking spaces, traffic improvements, and a $7.5 million contribution toward the revitalization of the nearby Byron Carlyle Cultural Center. According to Martin, the project is expected to generate over $16 million in annual revenue for the North Beach Community Redevelopment Agency, providing ongoing resources for neighborhood reinvestment.

“We look forward to working closely with the City and local stakeholders as we move into the next phase of bringing the reimagined Deauville to life,” Martin added.

In a city where sun, sand, and sophistication converge, Sereno Fort Lauderdale is raising the bar—literally—on amenity-driven living. The newly launched condominium development will introduce Fort Lauderdale’s first private rooftop pickleball court.

In a city where sun, sand, and sophistication converge, Sereno Fort Lauderdale is raising the bar—literally—on amenity-driven living. The newly launched condominium development will introduce Fort Lauderdale’s first private rooftop pickleball court, a bold and innovative offering that places Sereno at the forefront of South Florida’s next generation of luxury real estate.

As part of the project’s wellness-focused rooftop, the pickleball court will be perched high above the city, offering unrivaled panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean, Intracoastal Waterway, and Fort Lauderdale skyline. The court is one of several standout features at Sereno Fort Lauderdale, a boutique collection of 76 upscale residences developed by Miami-based Integra Investments and Flying Point.

The introduction of rooftop pickleball speaks directly to the sport’s meteoric rise in popularity. According to the Sports & Fitness Industry Association’s 2025 Topline Participation Report, pickleball has been the fastest-growing sport in America for four consecutive years, with participation growing 311% and nearly 20 million Americans playing the sport in 2024 alone. This explosive growth has prompted developers to reimagine recreational amenities, and Sereno’s elevated court is among the most unique—and coveted—interpretations yet.

Sales at Sereno Fort Lauderdale are exclusively handled by ONE Sotheby’s International Realty, with pricing starting at $1.4 million. The project builds on the success of the developers’ previous venture, Sereno Bay Harbor, and brings a new level of modern sophistication to Fort Lauderdale’s evolving skyline.

Designed by FSMY Architects + Planners, with interiors by 1508 London and landscape design by Design Studio Boca, Sereno Fort Lauderdale is a celebration of elevated design and lifestyle. The glass-clad tower features expansive floor-to-ceiling windows, semi-private elevators, and spacious balconies that blur the line between indoor and outdoor living. Residences range from 1,080 to 2,400 square feet with one- to three-bedroom layouts, all outfitted with Italian kitchens, Subzero and Wolf appliances, spa-inspired primary suites, and optional dens ideal for a hybrid lifestyle.

The development spans two distinct rooftop levels. One is dedicated to relaxation, with a resort-style pool deck, summer kitchen, BBQ island, dining area, and lush landscaping set against stunning 360-degree views. The second rooftop is dedicated to health and wellness, anchored by the rooftop pickleball court and complemented by a state-of-the-art fitness center, Technogym equipment, infrared sauna, cold plunge, steam room, outdoor shower, and yoga lawn.

Additional amenities round out the luxury lifestyle, including a resident’s lounge, children’s playroom, pet spa, full-time valet with dedicated app service, EV charging stations, bike and water toy storage, and more.

Located at 2901 NE 9th Ct, Sereno Fort Lauderdale enjoys a prime coastal setting just steps from Fort Lauderdale Beach. The building is surrounded by top cultural and lifestyle destinations, including Hugh Taylor Birch State Park, the Bonnet House Museum & Gardens, Galleria Mall, and the vibrant North Beach Village. Residents are also within easy reach of the Coral Ridge Country Club, Sunrise Harbor Marina, and the shopping and dining mecca of Las Olas Boulevard.

Completion is expected in 2028, but with its forward-thinking design and headline-worthy amenities like the rooftop pickleball court, Sereno Fort Lauderdale is already making waves—and redefining what it means to live well in South Florida.

Inside, custom-crafted Italian cabinetry, couture-grade closets, and sculptural volumes set a dramatic yet fluid tone. Two designer kitchens — one for daily use and one fully equipped for catering — make the home ideal for both intimate living and large-scale entertaining.

The resort-style outdoors designed by landscape architect Vincent Filigenzi offers a lush, layered sanctuary with curated gardens, reflecting water features, and expansive entertaining terraces. A heated infinity-edge pool, hot tub, and cold plunge off the primary suite balcony overlook sweeping Biscayne Bay views. The home also features a fire pit, outdoor kitchen, 110’ of prime water frontage and an 80’ L-shaped dock designed to accommodate a 90’ yacht and jet skis.

For car enthusiasts, the home features an 18-car garage experience, including a 15-car undercarriage garage and a three-car air-conditioned garage above — an exceedingly rare feature that cements the home’s status as a true collector’s trophy. Sustainability plays a role, too — a solar-paneled roof supports eco-conscious living.

This exceptional property represents a singular opportunity to own a legacy residence at the crossroads of global sports stardom and cutting-edge design — right in the heart of Miami Beach’s most iconic stretch.
