Most recently, MG Developer partnered with home staging company Artefacto to put together a model apartment at their latest development - Althea Row. A mix of Mediterranean architecture with modernist finishes, Althea Row is a combination of the past and the present, creating a unique residence in the heart of the Gables.

“It's been different working with MG Developer on this,” says Pietro Bacchi, Third Generation of the Bacchi family who founded Artefacto. “And it was nice to see someone stray away from the white box/modern cube and go into the traditional Mediterranean. It was amazing for us because we got to showcase products that we usually wouldn't with finishes that aren't necessarily commercial, but they are beautiful. MG really did an amazing job finishing this as a home instead of a spec for sale.”

Located at 739 Almeria Avenue, Althea Row’s exclusive set of five townhouses is designed by Coral Gables-based De La Guardia Victoria Architects & Urbanists. Having recently opened its European-inspired model unit to much fanfare, Althea Row is inspired by George Merrick and original Gables architects H.George Fink, Phineas Paist, and Richard Kiehnel. The 3-story townhouses include four bedrooms, four bathrooms with one-half bath, a four-car garage, a private elevator, and private terraces with crafted loggias that bring the best of outdoor Gables living. Featuring 7,000 square feet of exceptional modern living, Althea Row starts at $3.8 million and has already sold its model unit.

“We’re thrilled to have introduced Althea Row to Coral Gables, a high-end community for those who appreciate the finest details of luxury living and lush surroundings of the City Beautiful,” said MG Developer CEO Alirio Torrealba. “Our goal is to always bring a sophisticated product that exceeds expectations while also complementing the aesthetic of the local community. It’s simply part of the fabric at MG Developer and a standard that we hold high.”

MG Developer is “building the city beautiful” and enhancing the Coral Gables neighborhoods with their luxurious residences. In all of their projects, they pursue a ceaseless quest for quality, value, and intelligent design which is reflected in the beauty of the Althea Row Residences.

As a member of the Coral Gables community, MG Developer is committed to the beautification of the city and supports its Art in Public Places program, recently commissioning an original stone sculpture at Balboa Plaza called “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” The firm is an advocate of public exhibitions throughout Coral Gables that enhance the area’s unique lifestyle and design and is also a proponent of philanthropic efforts and organizations that elevate the city’s standard of living, including the Coral Gables Community Foundation and FundaHigado.

Althea Row, designed by Coral Gables-based De La Guardia Victoria Architects & Urbanists, indulges the senses with European-inspired luxury and craftsmanship. Inspired by George Merrick and original Gables architects H.George Fink, Phineas Paist, and Richard Kiehnel, the 3-story townhomes include four bedrooms, four bathrooms with one-half bath, a four-car garage, private elevator, and private terraces with crafted loggias that bring the best of outdoor Gables living.

In 2018, Wozniacki and Lee purchased a condo at the lavish Palazzo Del Sol complex for $13.5 million. However, the couple have recently placed their former residence on the market in January at a price of $17.5 million. The 8,430 square foot space was offered fully furnished with five bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms. Designed by Artefacto, the floor-to-ceiling glass offers picturesque views of Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. The property sold about a month after its initial listing at a reduced price of $16.25 million. Jill Hertzberg with Coldwell Banker Realty Miami Beach Lincoln Building represented the sellers while Jill Eber of the same firm represented the buyer.

Since then, the Wozniacki and Lee have purchased the last unit in that same sophisticated building: the Palazzo Del Sol penthouse at a price of $18.7 million. The newly purchased property spans 6,644 square feet with four bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. Located on the 10th floor, the ornate interior includes a formal living area, dining room, spacious kitchen, family room, home theater, and office. The expansive master suite features dual walk-in closets and ensuite bathroom. Stepping outside, the space highlights a dining terrace that can be accessed from the living area with stairs leading to the rooftop terrace, lap pool, and outdoor kitchen.

The Palazzo Del Sol luxury condominium complex features a multitude of in-building amenities including a fitness center, infinity pools, cabanas, private massage rooms, hair and makeup salon, ultramodern movie theater, meeting room, resident only restaurant, and underground parking space. The Mediterranean-style building was designed by Kobi Karp with outdoor spaces by Enzo Enea. Located on Fisher Island, this extravagant building offers an unparalleled living experience of privacy and exclusivity.

Brandon Zarco, Todd Michael Glaser

Glaser’s success throughout the decades required him to find the right individual to help him with the next phase of his business, which he found in Zarco. “Brandon is here to help me manage and grow my development and owner’s rep company,” he said. In just the first four months of 2021, the team has transacted on $170M of real estate.

Zarco added, “Todd’s expertise is in very high demand. Our process is intentional and systematic. We don’t build fast; we build efficiently.” Glaser said, “We would like to take on more projects, but we are nearing capacity. We need to grow.” This is where the Glaser-Zarco dynamic comes in.

If the last name of Glaser’s new deputy sounds familiar to Haute Living readers, it’s not a coincidence: he’s the son of a long-time Haute Partner, attorney Robert Zarco.

The interview session was a short glimpse into the day-to-day rapport Glaser has  developed with Zarco, each of them complimenting and complementing the other’s talents and sentences, respectively.

Glaser saw the development experience Zarco acquired with the builders of The Four Seasons at The Surf Club, The Four Seasons Fort Lauderdale, and The Four Seasons Palm Beach as he considered and promptly brought him into the fold. Zarco achieved his MBA at the Robert H Smith School of Business at the University of Maryland, College Park with a focus on Finance, and later honed his skills in Washington D.C. where he spent a few years in real estate banking.

“I saw a lot of me in him,” said Glaser, as he identified Zarco’s qualities. “There’s a lot of serendipity between us. His grandmother, an interior designer that predominantly worked with one wealthy family her entire career, gave Brandon his first design book for his Bar Mitzvah when he was 13 years old. It was a Zaha Hadid book. Years later, I co-developed the building, [One Thousand Museum by Zaha Hadid Architects in Downtown Miami].”

On that building, with a little prompting, Glaser added proudly, “It’s the best building in the world. There’s no residential building like it.”

Looking into the future, “The next chapter of Todd Michael Glaser 2.0 will focus on ‘Legacy Properties’,” said Zarco. “Our Palm Beach acquisitions approach is currently centered on procuring and developing uniquely positioned legacy properties. There are a few in the pipeline that we are excited to bring to market throughout 2021 and early 2022.”

Famous for purchasing historic estates in Palm Beach, Glaser and his wife, Kim, bought Villa Fontana, located at 127 Dunbar Road, for $17 million in mid-2020, and sold it in March of this year for $28 million. Keeping up with the efficiency rate he employs, Glaser added that they already have new, “Haute Living spectacular,” projects to acquire into their growing portfolio. To start, Glaser recently put under contract 10 Tarpon Isle, a 2.26 acre private island accessible via private bridge in the heart of Palm Beach with 1300’ of waterfront located just 0.5 miles south of Worth Avenue.

An impressive detail to highlight about Glaser is that he knows the addresses of every one of his projects, radiating a paternal tone in his approach to each of them. More directly, he said, “I’m good with numbers and making my partners money. We have a great track record. I’ve been fortunate to have great partners throughout my life, including Alan Lieberman, Scott Robbins, Craig Robbins, Jerry Robbins, Armin Mattli, Jared Posner, Sean Posner, Rony Seikaly, Jonathan Fryd, and David Lombardi to name a few.”

One of Glaser’s top projects at the moment is a collaboration between architecture firm Kobi Karp, high-end furniture brand Artefacto, and Todd Michael Glaser, located at 394 S Hibiscus Drive. It’s the first endeavor between the three companies.

On their goals for the rest of 2021, as an active third of the year is in the books, Zarco said, “We’re in the process of restructuring and streamlining the operations of the business in a way that invites scale while maintaining the highest level of quality and unmatched style. Over the years, Todd has built a tremendous brand for himself. We want to take that brand, and coupled with newly envisioned legacy properties, be able to expand, so when people from anywhere in the country hear ‘Todd Michael Glaser’ they know the type of business and excellence of product that we provide.”

As the dialogue was coming to a close, the last question for Glaser generated his fastest response: Would you choose one of those $50 million waterfront homes in Palm Beach or the $50 million estates in The Hamptons? His answer, “I’m a Palm Beach guy.”

As evidenced by the latest string of accolades won by the tower’s visionaries -- including the most recent distinctions, the 2019 “American Architecture Award” by The Chicago Athenaeum: the Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies, and “Most Innovative Beachside Residential Development” by BUILD Magazine -- Jade Signature reigns supreme in prestige.

The tower, which was also named by Dezeen magazine as one of 2018’s outstanding skyscrapers worldwide, only has a handful of residences remaining. Adding to the all-embracing allure that makes these flow-through offerings especially enticing is that several have been completely finished and furnished by hand-selected, top-ranked interior designers, including Meyer Davis, Luxury Living Group, and Artefacto.

Recently completed, the Luxury Living Group corner residence, No. 4801, offered at $6.85 million (with the option to purchase it fully furnished), features five bedrooms, six-and-a-half baths, and nearly 5,000 square feet of living space. Stunning accents and finishes abound, including FENDI Casa armchairs in the foyer, a formal dining room with a contemporary table in wenge with a gunmetal base, a master suite with FENDI Casa coffee tables with verde alpi, and a terrace furnished with the Cap Ferrat collection, including Carrara marble coffee tables.

The one-of-a-kind, double-height retreat includes five bedrooms and six-and-a-half baths, spread through 6,513 square feet of interior space. Adding to the home’s unmistakable appeal are its outdoor living room-like terraces, equating to an additional 1,407 square feet of space. Design highlights by the New York-based firm include a first-floor, astronomy-themed guest bedroom -- outfitted with a celestial rug from Moooi and artwork above the bed depicting an eclipse -- and an equestrian-themed queen bedroom on the second floor with linen wall-coverings as well as Hermés wallpaper in the bath.

Paulo Bacchi, CEO of Artefacto, brought in top renowned designers for this one-of-a-kind residence, resulting in a masterful unit. Brazilian designer Debora Aguiar based the creative process for this apartment in an organic beach sophisticated concept, using natural fibers, light colors, recycled wood materials, always considering the sculptural fiber cement exoskeleton. She naturally integrated all aspects, using beautiful aesthetical furnishings with lines and curves as in the actual building.

“It is an honor to present not one, but three furnished residences by Artefacto in the iconic Miami tower by Zaha Hadid,” said Bacchi. “For this home, the talented Debora Aguiar worked with our team of home staging experts to select timeless, contemporary furnishings with natural elements. The interiors highlight the singular elements of One Thousand Museum’s architecture while embracing the downtown culture of Museum Park and endless views.”
