In 2020, the iconic, exoskeleton tower had a record-breaking year of sales, with over $100 million in total. Buyers included star athletes and celebrities like David Beckham and Paul Pogba, as well as affluent purchasers from the Northeast and California that have been migrating to Florida and its prime residential destinations, topped by One Thousand Museum.

“While our original timeline for securing an inventory loan was pushed due to travel restrictions that hindered lenders from walking the finished project, we ultimately found the right lender in Cirrus Real Estate Partners,” said Louis Birdman, co-developer of One Thousand Museum. “We are pleased to enter this new chapter and confident in the upcoming sellout of our landmark building.”

“Despite the pandemic, South Florida proved to be a thriving spot for new residents who flocked to Florida from within the United States, and One Thousand Museum was a project that shined,” said Mayi De La Vega, Founder and CEO of One Sotheby’s International Realty, the Exclusive Broker for One Thousand Museum. “The tower had a record-breaking year with $100 million in sales, and 2021 has already started off with more than $35 million in sales, putting us on pace to exceed our 2020 success.”

The combination of tax benefits and a bustling cosmopolitan city that keeps growing in Miami have continued to bring in new residents from around the world. This year alone, One Thousand Museum has closed $35 million in sales, on track to surpass the milestone reached last year.

“We look forward to the commercial growth of One Thousand Museum,” said Tony Tufariello of Cirrus. “We worked to deliver capital quickly to maintain momentum at the property.”

“We have the experience to understand the operating complexity that comes with a high-profile luxury tower such as One Thousand Museum,” added Joseph McDonnell of Cirrus. “We believe that the capital we provided will help the property fulfill its significant potential."

One Thousand Museum – developed by Louis Birdman, Gilberto Bomeny, Kevin Venger, and partners Gregg Covin and Todd Glaser – was officially completed in August 2019, as one of the country’s most anticipated masterpieces.

What’s the current status of the high-end home market?

The high-end is seeing a lot of demand and performing better than other market sectors right now. We have seen a ton of interest of late, and even logged over $100 million in transactions this year.

How has COVID-19 impacted this sector? Which markets are doing relatively well? Which have been impacted the most? How has it played out in towers/condos?

In March when the pandemic hit, there was a migration out of highly dense cities. One Thousand Museum saw immediate interest from states like New York, Connecticut, Illinois and California – some buyers who had been mulling over a home in South Florida and ended up expediting their timelines. While some vacation home shoppers opted for single-family homes over condos, the tower didn’t see any drop-off as its floorplans run upwards of 10K interior square feet, and include the benefits and conveniences of condo living.

What’s the investment outlook for this segment?

Not only is it a buyer’s market right now, but interest rates are historically low. It’s a great time to buy.

Will COVID cause more people to want second homes as a refuge/place to social distance, or will the economic uncertainty caused by COVID make buyers want to sit on cash instead?

Shelter-in-place has made people evaluate how and where they live. And while some have been more cautious and are taking a wait-and-see approach, real estate remains one of the safest investments.

Photo Credit: Courtesy of One Thousand Museum

How is the second home market different from the primary home market? What are the similarities?

The primary home market is also performing well, again due to the migration from highly dense cities. South Florida has been a popular destination for second-homes and permanent relocations, not just due to the pandemic, but over the past few years and spurred in part by the SALT tax and overall lifestyle benefits of the area.

What design elements and must-haves do homeowners want and expect?

Buyers right now are craving space, both interior and exterior, and they want either ocean views or access so even while remaining at home, they never feel cooped up.

The post One Thousand Museum Co-developer Louis Birdman Talks Real Estate Boom In Florida appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

The all-start panel was hosted by Haute Living's April Donelson. They were:

• Louis Birdman, Co-Developer of One Thousand Museum Residences by Zaha Hadid Architects and CEO of BRD/Birdman Real Estate Development, LLC
• Daniel de la Vega, President, ONE Sotheby’s International Realty
• Karen Elmir, CEO of The Elmir Group under ONE Sotheby’s International Realty
• Harvey Daniels, VP of Development Sales, ONE Sotheby’s International Realty

An indisputable thread that emerged in the dialogue was continual praise from his fellow panelists towards Birdman's work at One Thousand Museum,the unmistakeable skyscraper designed by the late Zaha Hadid that houses 84 residences on Biscayne Boulevard. Recent buyers at One Thousand Museum include David Beckham and Paul Pogba.

Watch the webinar below.

Highlight quotes:

Louis Birdman: "There are many reasons why people move to a place like Miami or South Florida. When everything seems to get bad in other parts of the country or the world, we get a lot of people coming here... Since One Thousand Museum began, we saw price skyrocket in Miami Beach for a number of years, and then there was a slowdown, a drive for people to look off the Beach and into neighborhoods on the bay side of the water. This was a coveted site and we thought it was a good opportunity to do something that would be the top of the luxury market and to do it Downtown. We are once again seeing people from the U.S. look to South Florida, and a lot of interest in the Downtown Miami area... Miami has been a place where the rich and famous in sports and entertainment came to have fun, but now they have invested here and done well. It's something that we will see more of, hopefully... The legacy of One Thousand Museum continues to be about Zaha."

Daniel de la Vega: "Awareness in the progressiveness of the way we are changing the way we are doing business, and creativity; we have all progressed and become more creative in our business... When you look at Downtown Miami, the Arts and Entertainment district within it is robust with the walkability, museums, parks, and a growing population. This small area is booming and thriving... The people buying in Downtown Miami understand value, not only today but five years from now. One Thousand Museum is the crown jewel... I'm very bullish on the future of Downtown Miami and South Florida as a whole. Things are going to take a little bit of time but they'll be more robust than ever... You have to go see One Thousand Museum for yourself. It is now more successful than other buildings because the developers did such a remarkable job in finishing the building and the units."

Karen Elmir: "Most people are looking for buildings with less units and bigger residences; they can have a whole floor. That has been a big shift in our luxury market... The luxury rental market is doing extremely well. In Biscayne Beach, we rented a 2,700 sq. ft. unit for $11,000 for a CEO from New York. There is a lot of demand for rent. Clients are looking for larger units and paying top dollar for it... People are taking the opportunity to get good deals. I do see luxury buyers doing all-cash deals. Downtown Miami and Edgewater is the upcoming area. It's not as dense as maybe Brickell. You can buy for less dollar per square foot in the area. I would say it's the hottest area. You are minutes away from the Design District, the airport, the beach, the arts district center, which contributes to that... Downtown Miami is vibrant and full of life."

Harvey Daniels: "Even after COVID, I will continue to use the tools I've learned and the resources I've been able to utilize and become an expert at using. There's always a silver lining... [On his sale of a full-floor One Thousand Museum residence to the Inter Miami FC and football legend] David Beckham, like any of our buyers, can buy wherever he wants. We are in the center of the cultural area of the city, it's a private and secure building. This building was really built of that celebrity status where they have complete privacy... If you look at the cycles and areas as whole, the Downtown market is in its infancy stage. I see very good things for the market in the future. A lot of that is not just because of One Thousand Museum but everything going on around it.... High profile buyers are comfortable putting their money into a building like One Thousand Museum because they are foreseeing the future as really great. The building is legendary, and it will maintain that reputation."

The interview was hosted by Haute Living's Seth Semilof. Parker began his remarks by giving praises to the medical community and first responders that have been hard at work.

On the interaction with banks, while those are working on the Small Business Administration rollouts, he said "I've spoken with a number of banks. Lenders have reached out to me. The rates being as low as they are, I feel confident we will see a strong financial market. Unlike the last recession, lenders are much more cautious about lending. The banks are in the business of providing financing, and they will get back to that."

"Think of this like any slow period," he said about advice he and his leadership team give to their agents. "In our business, it's not uncommon for an agent to have no business. It's important we focus on goals. Make a plan for when this passes. Work on your database. Distinguish new and old clients. Request reviews from clients. Make five calls, send five emails, five thank-you notes, five text messages every day. Communicate with your clients. See how they and their families are feeling. If possible, spend time with your family. Take an online course you did not have time to before. And connect with agents in other markets."

"This is going to be a time that presents a lot of pent-up demand," he said about the post-quarantine market. "We launched a project in West Palm Beach last month. Things are going to be delayed, but we are working on pre-development."

He also answered questions submitted by viewers during the live broadcast. On a question about relocations to South Florida from other major markets, submitted by One Thousand Museum developer Louis Birdman, Parker said, "We saw a surge of interest in rentals at the beginning (of quarantine times). Now, those people that were borderline retirement are saying, 'Let's do it now'. We will see more people moving from California and New York moving here full-time. I think that New York, one of the strongest and most important cities in the world, will bounce back out of this pandemic." Parker took the opportunity to congratulate Birdman on the recent purchase of a One Thousand Museum penthouse by David Beckham.

Jay Parker, CEO of Douglas Elliman Florida Brokerage

The post Watch: Exclusive Webinar With CEO Of Douglas Elliman Florida Brokerage Jay Parker 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.

Daniel Kodsi, CEO of Royal Palm Companies, spoke about PARAMOUNT Miami Worldcenter, a project that is taking downtown Miami and South Florida by storm as the most amenitized building in the U.S., situated 90 feet above the ground. "When we started talking about it, we said 'let's do one great building. It has got to survive probably through a couple of markets from the day you launch it to the day you finish it,'" he said, helping to grasp the longevity of time and "developments" that can happen throughout the building of a project the size of PARAMOUNT.

The South Florida cosmopolitan city has attracted hundreds, if not thousands, of residents from high-profile areas like New York. As co-developer of the recently-completed One Thousand Museum by Zaha Hadid Architects, designed by the architecture genius, he said, "We wanted someone that had no preconception about Miami" as he remembered how Hadid ended up as the one for the job.

One Thousand Museum’s developers, 1000 Biscayne Tower LLC, led by Louis Birdman, Gilberto Bomeny, Gregg Covin, and Kevin Venger selected Marquis for its attentive services that match the exclusivity of Pritzker Prize-winning architect, Zaha Hadid’s last project.

“One Thousand Museum’s unmatched and unique blend of art, architecture, location and luxury is going to make it Miami’s most sought-after new address,” said Louis Birdman in a press statement. “We knew from the projects inception that we needed to tap the very best property management firm in Miami and selecting Marquis Association Management was the clear choice. We are excited to partner with Marquis’ President, Mark Blackburn, and his outstanding team who are dedicated to client satisfaction and committed to providing the best management services in the industry.”

The collaboration will enlist the industry’s first Curator of Hospitality to provide bespoke attention to every owner (both on-site and off) of One Thousand Museum’s 83 boutique residences, which sprawl over 62 stories to afford abundant square footage.

The first panel of the day, Titans of Development, or, the “East Coast Kings,” was moderated by Fox Business Network‘s Cheryl Casone and included six of the most successful real estate developers in the New York/Florida areas: Mitchell Moinian, Don Peebles, Dan Kodsi, Louis Birdman, Shahab Karmely and Michael Stern. The group covered a variety of topics, including political changes in the market, international buyers making New York and Florida real estate investments, the development of Miami as a globally-recognized destination and the differences between the real estate markets in Miami and New York.

“It’s been a very exciting time in Miami, especially in the last 10 years,” began Louis Birman, CEO of Birman Real Estate Development and co-developer of One Thousand Museum by Zaha Hadid Architects in Miami. “A lot of our sales have been driven out of Latin America and although that continues to be true, we’re also starting to see more interest out of other countries like in Europe and the Far East.”

Dan Kodsi, developer of Paramount Miami Worldcenter, CEO of Royal Palm Companies and the visionary behind Paramount Branded Developments, echoed that sentiment. “In the past 10 years, we’ve seen the world recognize Miami as a major gate way city. Now you meet people from Europe and China. You never used to see that…When you get named with cities like London, Paris and New York, that’s a big deal for Miami.” He also called out Miami’s downtown area as the one to watch out for: “From Brickell to Miami Design District, it’ll feel like a miniature Manhattan once it develops out.”

Mitchell Moinian, principal for The Moinian Group, also has an upcoming residential project in New York with the late and great Zaha Hadid, at 220 Eleventh Avenue; however, it is his 3 Hudson Boulevard development, that is garnering a lot of attention, given that the Hudson Yards area is set to be one of the next hotspots in Manhattan.

The second group, The Power Brokers, included top brokers and agents from key US markets. The panelists were Adam Modlin, Jeff Miller, Aaron Kirman, Olivia Hsu Decker, Richard Sternberg and Lisa Lippman. The group, moderated by Wall Street Journal‘s Peter Grant, discussed the changing climate of the luxury real estate market, as well as the impact of social media on the buying and selling process.

Olivia Hsu Decker, co-owner of Decker Bullock Sotheby’s International Realty with 11 offices in the San Francisco Bay Area, felt strongly that though social media allows brokers more visibility, nothing could and would replace the human connection. “Buying a home is like finding a husband or a wife,” she began. “You have to go to see it and make sure you can actually live there for the rest of your life. Nothing can replace that.”
