The open kitchen design within the residences of the Boutique Tower was produced by STA Architectural Group, with Molteni&C executing it to perfection, introducing unique elements and details, as well as maximizing the ocean views. Buyers can choose their custom design with exquisite finishes.

“Molteni&C has been instrumental in bringing our ideas to life; they truly embraced our concept of an open kitchen and luxurious closets which carry our signature of effortless Miami elegance,” said Isabel Tragash, principal of STA Architectural Group.

Molteni&C also created modern closets for the Boutique and South Towers, each with eco-skin doors with a flat or diamond pattern with metal edging. The master bathrooms, powder rooms, service rooms and fireplaces can all be customized. The Molteni Group's expert technology and craftsmanship results in elegant interiors throughout residences at The Estates at Acqualina.

The project began construction in May 2018. Once completed, the South Tower will house 154 bespoke residences, while the Boutique Tower will have 94. The 45,000-square-foot, residents-only amenity complex, Villa Acqualina, will provide residents with an ice skating rink, bowling alley, a spa and gym, a boxing ring, a speakeasy stylish bar, cigar lounge, and more.

The post Register: “Real Estate During Quarantine” Webinars By Haute Residence appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

Haute Living's Seth Semilof introduced Cheryl Casone, who joined FOX Business Network (FBN) as an anchor in September 2007 and currently serves as the co-anchor of FBN:AM, which airs weekdays at 5 AM/EST. Casone is also a financial contributor on FOX News Channel (FNC) where she provides economic reports. Casone served as the host of the dynamic dialogue that included questions submitted by viewers. 

Semilof continued by welcoming the panelists for today's webinar:

• Louis Birdman, co-developer of One Thousand Museum by Zaha Hadid Architects. As Principal at BRD/Birdman Real Estate Development, has overseen the development of more than 18,000 residential units and 1,000 hotel keys valued at more than $5 billion.
• Edgardo Defortuna, Founder and CEO of Fortune International Group, who brings over 30 of experience in the real estate industry; a visionary and driving force in South Florida’s landscape.
• Jules Trump, developer of The Estates at Acqualina, the $1.8 billion ultra-luxury development in Sunny Isles Beach, FL.
• Michael Stern, Founder & CEO of JDS Development, an innovative real estate development, construction, and acquisition firm responsible for the creation of numerous residential, hospitality, and mixed-use projects in New York City and Miami.

Watch the full video below

Casone took over and engaged the panelists in an hour-long conversation that encompassed multiple real estate markets. They gave their thoughts on the best ways for real estate agents, brokers, developers, and the industry overall to deal with the effect that COVID-19 has had on business and the rest of the year.

"There have been many changes in the way we are all doing business," said Birdman. "Real estate is a face-to-face business, but that has changed with this outbreak. People still need to move, have leases coming up and other circumstances, so properties continue to get shown in different ways to ensure the safety of sellers, buyers and people working at properties."

Stern spoke on New York's state of real estate affairs since the Big Apple became the center of the Coronavirus pandemic in the US. "For New York, we closed our office three and a half weeks ago, completely working remotely except for construction," he said. Then, he continued to compare his company's activity in South Florida with New York. "In Miami, we have not seen much of a drop in manpower in construction. For the most part, we are doing construction in Florida and largely stopped in New York."

The construction of The Estates at Acqualina has continued while adapting to today's standards of social distancing and higher use of technology for marketing. "We are able to continue with the construction, but taking care of our workers," said Trump. He continued, "We are making great use of technology to share communications to tell the story of The Estates at Acqualina. We are in constant communication with our customers today, even more so than prior."

Casone asked Defortuna about the quick learning curve for the entire industry on how to conduct business from a distance. "Especially on the luxury side of the market, nobody needs to buy a second or third home," he said. "They buy it because they love it. From the marketing point of view, we have specialized in marketing to the entire world, providing tools to brokers to promote our projects in Latin America, Europe, and worldwide. Presentations of this type are happening all over the world. My brokers are saying they are busier now than before when they were doing presentations one-on-one."

Today's webinar followed on yesterday's session that featured Daniel de la Vega, President of ONE Sotheby's International Realty.

Edward Woodson with Titans of Miami's panelists Stephanie Trump, Louis Birdman, Ugo Colombo, Gil Dezer, Dan Kodsi and Carlos Rosso

The summit kicked off with "Titans of Miami 'East Coast Kings'" panel moderated by Fox News contributor Edward Woodson. Jules Trump, Louis Birdman, Ugo Colombo, Gil Dezer, Dan Kodsi and Carlos Rosso sounded off on the evolution of the Miami skyline, the future of the residential real estate market and why South Florida is pushing towards more vertical living. The visionaries behind key residential developments like One Thousand Museum, Estates at Acqualina, PARAMOUNT Miami, Residences by Armani Casa and the Porsche Design Tower, gave insight into how they have revolutionized Miami's residential vertical developments with state-of-the-art design and amenities.

Dolly and Jenny Lenz, Olivia Hsu Decker, Daniel de la Vega, Gary Feldman, Richard Steinberg, Santiago Arana

Next, the "National Power Brokers" included Dolly and Jenny Lenz, Olivia Hsu Decker, Gary Feldman, Richard Steinberg, Santiago Arana and President of ONE Sotheby's International Realty, Daniel de la Vega. Moderated by Strategist Seth Gordon, the top brokers from key national markets discussed the latest market trends, conditions and developments in the luxury real estate market. The panel focused on the current state of the market, with the fear of an upcoming dip in the market due to the oversaturation of product. While each panelist agreed that it is hard to generalize each market with a 'yes' or 'no' answer to that, most agreed it is how you handle and pitch the ups and downs of the market to your client. "it is not a buyers market or a seller's market. It's an opportunity market." Olivia Hsu Decker said.

Jeff Miller, Dora Puig, Jorge Uribe, Lourdes Alatriste, Michael Goldstein and Senada Adzem

Finally, the third panel highlighted Dora Puig, Audrey Ross, Lourdes Alatriste, Jeff Miller, Jorge Uribe, Senada Adzem and Michael Goldstein as the "Miami Power Brokers." Moderated by Strategist Seth Gordon, the panel focused on the magic city's luxury real estate market trends. Highly-renowned as Miami's most powerful brokers, each panelist focused in on their respective markets as they discussed the luxury buyer client relocating to South Florida. While the preference in property, whether a penthouse, waterfront home or a single-family home in Boca Raton differs from client to client, all panelists agreed the market has seen a shift from international buyers to more domestic buyers -- something they credit to the relatively inexpensive taxes in Florida.
