According to records, the Construction financing for the downtown Miami project was provided by a Starwood Property Trust affiliate by way of a partnership between Property Markets Group and E11EVEN Partners.

Miami Block 17 LLC, led by E11EVEN Partners' Simkins, sold the 9,125 square-foot stretch of land at 1025 North Miami Avenue to 11th Street Trustee LLC, led by PMG's Ryan Shear. The land sold was previously owned by Simkins and Roberts.  According to property records, Miami NE 11th LLC also sold the property at 20 and 30 NE 11th Street to the PMG affiliate for over $5 million.

The newly-acquired loan will serve to finance construction for all three properties. While E11EVEN Hotel & Residences launched sales quietly at the beginning of 2021, developers claimed they quickly sold out. Sales for tower 2 were launched quickly thereafter. Tower 2, also known as E11EVEN Residences Beyond, will connect to the first tower via a sky bridge and at ground level.

The 65-story towers are set to develop just south of 24-hour nightclub E11EVEN Miami, in the Park West neighborhood of downtown Miami. The development will be designed by Sieger Suarez Architects and units will all be finished and furnished.

The first tower, where amenities for the. entire project will be included, will offer a casino-style sports launch, a rooftop, a spa and wellness center courtesy of Dr. Deepak Chopra, and a slew of chef-driven restaurants. The first tower is expected to be completed in 2023.

Developers broke ground on phase one, a 375-unit hotel and condo tower, in November 2021. WNBA player Candace Parker, ESPN co-host Sage Steele and MMA fighter Luke Rockhold are all buyers there.

The Portland Trail Blazers' Just Nurkic is buying units in both buildings. Youtubers and fighters Jake and Logan Paul are expected to buy penthouses in the second phase. Remaining units at E11EVEN Residences Beyond start in the mid-$300,000s, with sizes beginning at 318 share-feet for studios. Cryptocurrency is accepted as form of payment by the developers.

New developments are hitting downtown Miami including the newly announced "Riverside Wharf" project which will also involve a 165-key Dream Miami luxury hotel by Dream Hotel Group. This world-class waterfront destination will be a new paradigm for the city's entertainment and hospitality industries. The 1.5 acres, two-tower project is being developed by MV Real Estate Holdings and Driftwood Capital and will also include a world-class nightclub, a rooftop day club with two pools, banquet halls, event spaces, and a private marina capable of accommodating megayachts.

“Riverside Wharf will be a destination for entertainment unlike any Miami has seen, bringing together world-class entertainment and hospitality offerings to a unique waterfront destination with direct Intracoastal access to the ocean,” said Miami developer Alex Mantecon of MV Real Estate Holdings. “We are excited to finally bring to fruition the dream and vision Miami has had for its riverfront entertainment district which until now has historically sat vacant and underutilized.”

This project was announced by MV Real Estate Holdings in conjunction with Driftwood Capital, one of the country’s leading hospitality sponsors. When complete, the $185 million mixed-use development will anchor the developing Miami River District, one of Miami’s fastest-growing downtown neighborhoods with direct Intracoastal access to the ocean.

Riverside Wharf will transform the storied Miami River district while paying homage to the historic fishing culture of the neighborhood by celebrating the area’s beloved Garcia’s Fish Market with a pop-up seafood market on the grounds, where locals can get the freshest catch daily.

“Miami is a top international destination for world-class hospitality and entertainment, and continues to set the bar with exciting new experiences for travelers unlike anything else in the world,” said Mayor of Miami Francis Suarez. “Dream Miami at Riverside Wharf will be an unparalleled development in the heart of Miami for visitors and locals alike, and I couldn't be more excited to see it launch."

The development is slated to break ground in 2022 and be completed by 2025. It is designed by Jon Cardello of Cube3 architects with landscape design by Savino-Miller Design Studio and is sure to be a welcome addition to beautiful downtown Miami.

Like many major metropolitan areas across the country, Seattle is seeing a resurgence in downtown life, and recent near-record sales of luxury properties show that buyers remain confident in the value of living in Seattle.

"As we continue to press through the Covid-19 pandemic, the resurgence of Seattle and its real estate market in the downtown core is becoming more and more apparent,” says Scott Wasner, co-founder and executive vice president of Christie’s International Real Estate Seattle. “In the last four months, I have orchestrated two of the most significant sales the city has seen since 2020. These sales, along with others, showcase the growing demand for in-city residences as astute buyers see the current and long-term value of a downtown property.”

Since July, Wasner has closed on two spectacular penthouses in Escala, one of Seattle’s most exclusive condominium towers, located at 1920 4th Avenue. The first, in July, was penthouse #3102, a 4,522 sq. foot residence that sold for an astounding $7 million - the highest residential sale price in Seattle since October 2020. “This penthouse has arguably the best views in the city - water, city, and mountain,” Wasner says. The three-bedroom penthouse takes advantage of its superior location with floor-to-ceiling windows throughout and three incredible terraces to enjoy the breathtaking vistas. “The level of stonework, woodwork, and cabinetry found throughout is also second to none.”

On the heels of penthouse #3102 came the sale of Escala’s penthouse #3002 in early October for an impressive $6,625,000. This 4,500-sq.-ft. residence is a brand new residence that offers a posh, downtown living experience. It was designed with a flowing floor plan that takes advantage of its incredible city and water views and features a distinctive style that uses a masterful blend of wood, marble, and porcelain from around the world along with state-of-the-art lighting, appliances, and technology.

“The robust and diverse economics of the region, including the significant involvement of many iconic global brands, continues to attract buyers from out of state as well as overseas,” Wasner continues. “The revitalization of many of the city’s cultural attractions is certainly helping the real estate market too. Restaurants, bars, and in-person sporting events have taken the main stage in bringing foot traffic back to the sidewalks of Seattle.”

“As an in-city resident, I have personally invested in Seattle and continue to bet on its future.”

The iconic Waldorf Astoria Hotels and Residences is making its way to the Sunshine State. The latest addition to the Waldorf Astoria family is set to alter and redefine Miami’s skyline as we know it. 

The recently-launched Waldorf Astoria Residences Miami will be the tallest residential and hotel tower south of New York City. The tower is set to measure 1,049 feet. Led by concept designers Sieger Suarez Architects in collaboration with Carlos Ott, and architecture by Sieger Suarez, along with California-based interior design firm BAMO, this project was created not only to be a luxury residential and hospitality tower but a unique, freestanding sculpture in the sky, unlike anything built before. 

“We differentiated this cube-style architecture by tilting the first cube upward. From there, we offset the other cubes and pushed the top cube out even further, providing an illusion that the tower is even taller than it is,” says Charles Sieger. 

This project also marks another collaboration between developer PMG, Sieger Suarez Architects, and design architect Carlos Ott. The “supertall” skyscraper will rise over Biscayne Bay with a monumental height structure of nine spiraling offset cubes designed to be evenly stacked, tilted, and rotated upwards, wrapped in what can be referred to as “glass skin.” Despite its complex design, the modern sculptural exterior offers residents and guests 360-degree views of the surrounding Downtown and Atlantic landscapes. 

“The exterior glass skin design of Waldorf Astoria Residences Miami impacts the experience of those residing inside the tower. It offers a different, breath-taking view from each residence, kitchen, balcony, or bedroom. The shifted nature of the stacked cubes creates a perspective that is completely unique, depending on where you are within,” says Carlos Ott. 

Internationally-renowned interior design firm BAMO drew inspiration from the rich history of the Waldorf brand and the inherent vibe that comes with living in the awe-inspiring tower. 

“Our design work is guided by the awareness that the human experience and one’s frame of mind can be influenced by their surroundings. In designing for the Waldorf Astoria Residences Miami, our goal was to create an experience that felt transcendent, inspiring a sense of awe as you arrive, and in exploring further, a sense of discovery and reflection,” said Anne Wilkinson, Principal of BAMO. 

Recently, the Waldorf Astoria Miami Residences opened its one-of-a-kind sales office in downtown Miami. Built like an experiential museum experience, the gallery features a 24-foot scale model of the building as well as a full 3 bedroom model residence. Inside the space, guests can experience video simulations of the views they will experience from residences in the towers and a beautiful model of the Miami skyline with the new building within it.

The company hosted a VIP event on Thursday, June 17th where notable attendees included: PMG Managing Partners Kevin Maloney, Ryan Shear and Dan Kaplan, Greybrook Realty Partners, Mohari Hospitality, S2 Development, Mayor Levine Cava, Mayor Suarez, PMG’s in-house sales team, PMG Residential, and concept designers Charles M. Sieger and Carlos Ott.

Guests were treated to champagne and drinks, live music, delicious hors d'oeuvres, and tours of the model residences.

“Every single day people come to our city because they want to live in the most prosperous, free, and innovative city on the planet," said Mayor Francis X. Suarez. "We are so proud of this iconic project that will redefine who we are as a city.”

In the wake of the global pandemic, one city has been quietly growing. Known for its beaches, sun, and lack of state income tax, Miami is becoming the spot for not only quarantine-weary people but also major businesses and corporations. These finance and tech monoliths are running to South Florida's shores, ready to build their newest corporate offices.  

MV Group USA is an award-winning Design-Build & Construction firm in Miami, FL. Founded in 2007 by President and CEO Manny Varas, MV Group USA has ranked among the top five best builders and top three general contractors for projects over six million dollars in Florida by GC Builders magazine. The firm is also consistently the top choice for fortune 500 CEOs, real estate developers, film celebrities, major athletes, and foreign country leaders, making them the easy decision for these top financial and technology firms relocating to the Sunshine State.

Recently, MV Group USA has built the beautiful Suite 700 in downtown Brickell and worked with internet car platform Carsaver.com, financial planning firm Ladenburg Thalman, and major holding company Vector Group.

MV Group USA, along with Borges Architects and Designer Camilla Chang, built a beautiful seventh-floor office space in the BB&T financial center in the heart of Brickell. MV Group USA transformed the interior space into a stunning corporate office. Visibility throughout the office was keen in the client's overall vision with certain private and more open spaces throughout the floor allowing them to incorporate glass circumferences for certain meeting rooms for visual connections. Its modern boldness transcends time throughout the space.

The project took about a year to complete as MV's team took on the design-build and oversaw the construction management. The penthouse unit was a multi-million dollar project that has smart features, lighting, and music that can be controlled for any event or client meeting at any time of the day. It also includes an event space, kitchen, and panoramic views of Biscayne Bay. Now, Carsaver is expanding even more and MV Group USA is building an additional 12,000 square feet that will include a movie theater.

On Monday, Google announced its plans to invest $1 billion  to open a new campus in the New York City neighborhood known as Hudson Square (at 315 and 345 Hudson, and then also 550 Washington). Hudson Square was once known as the Printing District because of the printing companies attracted to the large concrete and steel factory buildings located close to their Wall Street clients. In the 1970s and ‘80s, technology and design companies replaced the printing industry, attracted by the architecture, location, transportation options, and affordable rents. In recent years, the area has experienced a building boom. Not only is the neighborhood growing in height and number of residences but a large fund has been set aside to increase the neighborhood’s commercial mix, greenery, and traffic flow. Now, with the news of Google’s investment, the neighborhood is set to soar.

Corcoran broker, Todd Vitolo, is a Hudson Square expert. Vitolo says, “This once fringe neighborhood primarily attracted early adopters, artists, and families looking for privacy. Today with the southern portion of the neighborhood feels more like an extension of Northern TriBeCa. You have everything from the Renzo Piano designed 565 Broome where they recently put a $37mm Penthouse residence into contract, to the just launched Greenwich West and Extell's 70 Charlton. Those residences that take advantage of the Hudson River views or have an an architectural pedigree will certainly attract the super luxury buyers attention away from Tribeca and Soho proper for years to come. The best part of this neighborhood, and unlike the West Village or Tribeca in my jaded broker opinion is that there are zero tourists...a true downtown luxury these days.”

Here are some of the most luxurious homes for sale and rent in Hudson Square that Google executives take residence in and stroll to work.

70 Charlton was the first residential building to break ground in Hudson Square since the neighborhood’s 2013 rezoning which allowed for the creation of more residential and retail in development as well as an elementary school and open space. Unlike other developments currently underway, 70 Charlton is move-in ready with an unprecedented suite of amenities for the area including an indoor salt water pool, sauna, sports court, interior courtyard garden, children’s play room, fitness center and indoor/outdoor residents lounge with catering kitchen.

The south-facing master bedroom suite is a retreat tucked away with a large walk-in closet, and spa bath with separate shower and freestanding tub. The home features three additional bedroom suites and a powder room.

The six level, 8300 square foot home features eight bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms with a home stocked full of incredible amenities. Other than the 25 feet in width providing ample space for having the biggest party in town, the home also has a sky lit glass stairwell, private elevator, an elevator, 1500 square feet of outdoor space, and radiant heated floors. Not satisfied? It also has a sky lit lap pool all to yourself.

According to the listing, “Previously multi-unit, the historically significant building was converted to single-family by Wayne Turett of The Turett Collaborative. The firm, known for their deep understanding and expertise in Landmarks, worked closely with preservationists to restore the original façade.”

The home is coming to the market at $28 million dollars and is listed by Rachel Glazer. Most importantly, the home still offers residents something that the new glass tower residences never can, a part of New York history in this historic area where your home still feels like an organic part of the city around you.

Downtown New York City is a neighborhood that lives two separate lives—Downtown New York City is a neighborhood that lives two separate lives—the old streets of New Amsterdam to the new builds that are creating New New York.

Amidst all the change and renovation to the city’s southern tip, new constructions are becoming more and more beautiful and palatial in standards, with better interiors, broader views, and a setting that makes any tenant feel as though they’re the king or queen of the world.

The latest addition to the towers downtown is the unveiling of 125 Greenwich Street, an 88 story, 912-foot tall luxury skyscraper designed by world famous architect Rafael Vinoly, who recently designed another legendary skyscraper in the city pointing up from the skyline, 432 Park Avenue. The British duo of March and White designed the interiors of the units, this being their first big residential project in the United States. The duo are also known for some of the most elite clubs in London as the designers of the Arts Club and Devonshire Club. Their work on 125 Greenwich Street evokes that same essence of exclusivity and prestige while still feeling elegant and personalized to any resident.

The building is only a few blocks from the Oculus and One World Trade Center, and will be home to 273 units of studios to three bedrooms. The top three floors of the building are also going to house the amenities of the tower, giving every tenant a reason to take in the highest views without having to pay for the top levels available. Amenities include a 50’ lap pool, spa, sauna and steam room, fitness center, yofa studio, event space, and cinema.

In the rich history of downtown and the financial district, the unveiling of 125 Greenwich Street marks a nuanced, interesting turn into the future of what this city is growing into. Onward and Upward.

While maintaining its luxury quality, the building is ideal for business travelers spending too much time in New York for hotels but not enough to fully buy yet. The building’s model units were also designed by ASH New York, and really show the modern aesthetic and how any one of these units can be the coolest space downtown for financial types to finally relax in without having to endure the commute from the office. The real star of the building though is the rooftop level. Outfitted with a lounge full of couches, a ping-pong area, deck chairs to catch the last of the summer sun, a full gym, expansive views over the East River, and an outdoor pool featuring a giant mural by artist Gray Malin, it’s the crown jewel of the building. While the next phase of the building, the luxury penthouses will still be under construction for the next few weeks, the building has already leased over 70% of the building, with units going fast. Check out the images from Haute Residence's tour though the property to see it for yourself!
