The Miami Design District announced the arrival of its first new Class A office building, The Ursa. Combining museum-quality art by Daniel Arsham with ten floors of office space, The Ursa will transform the work experience in its unique environment.

The Ursa is being developed by Miami Design District Associates. It is a joint venture between Dacra, L Catterton Real Estate, and Brookfield Properties. The fifteen-story building houses ten floors of office space. There are two retail spaces available on the ground floor and outdoor areas on every level. Included on each floor are a private balcony and floor-to-ceiling glass windows. Also, the rooftop features an indoor/outdoor garden deck that all tenants can access.

“The Ursa is an exceptional addition to the Miami Design District. In keeping with our development approach, our emphasis was creating something that truly enhanced the built environment and added to the overall experience of being in this unique community. Bringing a dynamic office building offering to the Miami Design District is an important next step in the neighborhood’s evolution and we are so excited to watch it unfold. We know the District has so much to offer and businesses want to be a part of what we have built here. We cannot wait to welcome them,” said Mathieu Le Bozec, Managing Partner, L Catterton Real Estate.

Arquitectonica designed The Ursa to fit within the artistic neighborhood of the Design District. It features monumental artworks incorporated into the building’s façade. Famed contemporary artist and founder of architecture and design company Snarkitecture, Daniel Arsham, was inspired by Greek and Roman sculptural reliefs when creating these artworks. The Ursa’s interior art and furniture were also created by Arsham.

“Having an almost life-long personal presence and relationship within the Design District it’s an honor to be invited to collaborate with Dacra on The Ursa. The integration of the surrounding tropical landscape with world-class architecture, contemporary art, and design sums up, to me, what is special about Miami and this neighborhood specifically. I expect this building to become a landmark to the city and an important example of how art and architecture can coexist in exciting new ways,” said Daniel Arsham.

Located at 30 NE 39^th street, The Ursa is situated in an ideal location. Tenants will have access to the restaurants, stores, and cultural institutions of the surrounding Miami Design District. Direct accessibility to I-95 is another convenient aspect of the building’s location.

The Ursa is expected to be completed by fall 2024 and is now leasing. For more information visit theursa.com.

Some of the most coveted and most expensive properties in Southern California lay along The Strand in the South Bay. This famous four-mile pedestrian pathway is draped between gorgeous beachside estates and pristine sandy beaches from North Manhattan Beach to the border of Torrance Beach. Ocean views are locked-in along The Strand, as well as iconic vistas of the famous Manhattan Beach Pier, and the Hermosa Beach Pier that was featured in the Hollywood blockbuster film "LaLa Land".

Manhattan Beach Realtor Cindy Shearin of the Shearin Group intimately knows what life on The Strand is all about. Previously living on The Strand herself, as well as both building and selling multiple homes here over a 30-year career, Shearin has a unique perspective and a wealth of knowledge to share with her clients. Closing just this week on a single-family estate on The Strand, Shearin has up-to-the-minute knowledge for this distinguished location and all it has to offer.

A completely unique option for ownership on The Strand in which Shearin is the exclusive agent is the only Condo-tel in the South Bay called Beach House. “The Beach House is an excellent opportunity for clients who want to own on The Strand to enjoy all that the strand-lifestyle has to offer along with the comforts of an upscale hotel, yet not have to carry the responsibility of seaside home maintenance,” explains Shearin. Coupled with that is the perk of being able to own on The Strand for under a million dollars.

The Beach House location is adjacent to Hermosa Beach’s pedestrian-only promenade. This charming spot is trimmed with sky-high palm trees amid a variety of restaurants, cafes, sports bars, and boutique shopping.

Beach House Ownership Perks:

• Offered for $935,000
• Turnkey for the owners
• Cleaning, Maintenance & Management is run by the management company
• Rare Southern California beachfront opportunity at this price point
• Exercise on The Strand, enjoy the beach or a game of volleyball right outside your front door
• Easy to enjoy South Bay’s most enjoyable family-friendly beach festivals year-round
• Steps from the sand, yet in the heart of a charming coastal town
• Located in Hermosa Beach town center which offers a great atmosphere with numerous restaurants, shops, and entertainment along the pedestrian-only promenade
• Oceanfront living and desirable conveniences while enjoying a front-row seat to watch the sunset over Hermosa
• The units are well-appointed in a desirable and timeless coastal-beach style and include a dedicated sleeping space with a king-sized bed, desk area, a generously sized living room with a queen pull out sofa, efficiency kitchen, fireplace, full bath with a separate oversized soaking tub and shower.
• Most units offer ocean views and many are oceanfront
• All units offer a large walk-out balcony with seating for daily enjoyment
• Complimentary continental breakfast, high-speed internet access, spa area, Frette linens, high-end down comforters, cozy robes, Aveda amenities, and much more
• The perfect lock-n-leave seaside home away from home, located on The Strand

An Excellent Return:

• The Beach House is an income-producing property when not in use by the owners.
• The demand is high which equates to high occupancy and rental income return.
• Additional information available upon request.

Experience this beloved beachside escape that locals have coveted for years!

Today, however, both buyers and developers are realizing the value of outdoor spaces as seamless extensions of abodes that are getting larger, better customized and more usable. This shift in perspective has come to define new condominiums, whose urban design is reflective of single family homes.

Here are two such projects, where terraces reign supreme.

d’Orsay

Rising on 211 West 14^th Street, d’Orsay sits on a thrilling city crossroad of the Meatpacking District, the High Line, the West Village and Chelsea. This prime location invites some stunning vistas.

Designed by renowned French designer, Jacques Garcia (who worked on the NoMad Hotel in Manhattan), and Hill West Architects, d’Orsay features 21 luxury homes. Half of them boast expansive balconies, whose cohesiveness with the indoors is boosted by oversized divided light windows. The penthouse comes with nearly 1,300sq. ft. of terrace, which includes a 1,040sq.ft. roof balcony with an outdoor kitchen and a fireplace.

62-66 North Third Street

This boutique dual building accommodates 13 family-sized residences that each have either a balcony or an oversized terrace. The most astonishing private outdoor spaces belong to the two penthouses, which flaunt terraces off the living room as well as 1,100sq. ft. roof deck above a solarium.
