Black Lion has purchased an iconic hospitality destination in the high-demand South of Fifth neighborhood for $11.5 million. Located at 200 South Pointe Drive, the property is directly in front of the luxury Continuum residences and within walking distance from the beach and South Pointe Park. It is Black Lion’s latest addition to its diverse portfolio of stunning concept restaurants, luxury rooftop bars, elevated dining and nightlife experiences, and family-forward shopping complexes.

The 12,000 square foot venue of prime mixed-use retail/restaurant space features an open and multi-storied layout. Highlights of this property include 19’-22’ ceilings, an outdoor courtyard, and a rooftop lounge. Formerly Cibo Wine Bar South Beach, it was purchased from developer Ian Bruce Eichner of The Continuum Company. Phil Gutman of PGutman, LLC and Pablo Camposano of Colliers International brokered the venue.

“We are excited to introduce something special to Miami Beach,” shares Robert Rivani, President of Black Lion. “Through relationships with high-caliber hospitality groups, we are able to create once-in-a-lifetime opportunities that set the precedent for up and coming cities and curate unique lifestyle experiences at our properties. The soon-to-be-announced concept at 200 South Pointe Drive is no exception.”

Black Lion is inspired by Miami’s energetic lifestyle and presently focuses on hospitality ventures in the South Florida market. The company has recently announced several Miami projects including Brickell Bay Boardwalk, Wynwood Jungle, Amara at Paraiso in Edgewater, new venues at Marea South Beach, and a yet-to-be-named restaurant concept on the ground level of the SLS LUX in Brickell.

The iconic Hotel of South Beach, owned by Goldman Properties, has just been renamed The Tony Hotel South Beach in honor of its founder, Tony Goldman. Goldman, a well-established real estate developer, assisted in reviving some of Miami’s most famous neighborhoods including South Beach and Wynwood.

Tony’s son-in-law and acting CEO of Goldman Properties spoke out on the renaming of the property explaining, “Tony Goldman was an entrepreneur, historic preservationist, romantic, and sensitive developer, restauranteur, hotelier, and patron of the arts. Renaming the hotel that Tony restored in his honor is a fitting tribute to his legacy.”

Known for its Art deco style, the hotel attracts visitors hoping to revisit the vibrant style of South Beach from 1939, when the property was established. Although the hotel underwent renovations in 1998 under designer Todd Oldham’s supervision, it still upholds the original architecture but with stylistic flair. One of the hotel’s prominent features that received a serious redesign was the rooftop pool, complete with cabanas and an ocean view for guests to enjoy.

Located on Collins Avenue, the hotel has a unique charm and is a staple in the community. The property’s energy is reflected in their loyal staff, many of who have worked at the hotel for over 20 years. To further memorialize Tony’s contribution to the neighborhood of South Beach, Goldman Properties plans to bring back the News Café from the 90s, frequented by the late Gianni Versace. The whole project lives up to the Goldman Properties’ principle— “back to the past but also into the future.”

Once you have a listing, how do you prepare a marketing plan specific to that property? 

Our 6-prong (pricing, positioning, placement, promotion, prestige and prospective buyer) marketing plan is tailored to each individual property. But, our common objective for every seller is aiding him/her in obtaining as many qualified buyers possible into or to his/her property until we have it sold.  The bottom line of a listing is to sell it, Period! We first price the listing correctly the day we take the listing, create property differentiation and are persistently proactive until that buyer is at the negotiating table. We sell fast and very effectively. Please visit http://www.luxurysouthbeachrealty.com/marketing.asp for our marketing program.

What media channels do you find work best, and why do you think they work? (Print, online, direct selling, word of mouth) 

Each media outlet works depending on the needs and purposes assigned to it. Servicing our sellers with targeted, effective advertising to position our properties and drive sales are important and necessary. But, word of mouth, contacts, networking and the old-fashioned way of speaking and meeting face-to-face are equally crucial. Adding the personal touch is still very professional.

What advice or assistance do you offer your clients when it comes to staging their property for potential buyers? 

We have to remember that the condition of a home or condo is vital to any sale. Properties that are in good, or tip-top, condition show better and sell better. Those that look good stand out, and have more chances of being sold faster and for more. It is better to be in the top 5 of the competition than in the bottom 5. Ideally, #1 or #2 showing spots are the best.

When it is time to showcase the home, how do you decide to have an open house, or to show the property by appointment only? 

Open Houses, broker open houses and by appointment only are separate things but not mutually exclusive. With broker open houses, we want to show the property to our colleagues. Our colleagues are not only great in giving us input on the property but they can talk about it with their customers which can become potential buyers. Open houses are for getting potential buyers directly to the property. And, by appointment only works great because he/she who has made appointment has this property on the top of his/her list.

What do you see as your company’s greatest success in 2012?

One of our greatest accomplishments in 2012 was the launch of our 2^nd branch office located in the ultra luxury neighborhood “Sofi” in south beach located at 225 Collins AV Miami Beach, FL 33139.   Just after launching the second branch, my partner Roland Ortiz and I set a record sale in the world renowned Icon South Beach Tower by selling a 3 bedroom residence for the highest dollar per square foot in the hstory of the building at $1,260 PSF.

What do you see as some of the biggest opportunities in the coming year ahead?

I see coming forward in 2013 a continued strong demand for high end real estate from our international clientele. Many of which are now investing not only in existing resale inventory but have also started to reserve units in the new ultra luxury and modern preconstruction projects like One Ocean, Palau and Brickell House to name a few.  Our company already manages over 300 condominiums between South Beach – Brickell and Downtown.  Once these projects are built, it will expand our portfolio of our overseas owners who will have us manage these forthcoming acquisitions.

What changing market aspects will have the greatest impact on the way you conduct business in 2013?  It is very clear that preconstruction is heading the forefront once again and not all of our clients necessarily will come on site so we will see more traveling on our part in 201.  We will be visiting our clients in Brazil, Italy, Argentina and Venezuela.

What is it about you and your company that sets you apart from the rest?

We are a boutique firm and pride ourselves in providing a highly personalized service experience.  Attention to detail is our maximum goal with every client and we maintain the highest regard for every client’s specific needs which always leave us with long lasting relationships.  We have an in-house marketing department that customizes marketing collateral specifically tailored for each unique property.  We use only the finest marketing platforms such as Haute Living and market heavily during seasonal events such as Art Basel Miami.  Our firm specializes in global sales and therefore manages over 300 residences for all of our absentee owners where they can enjoy a carefree real estate ownership experience while their property is producing income for them.    Our company not only manages our overseas clients’ assets, to name a few:  Epic, Icon, The W South Beach, Marquis Miami… but also assists in repositioning properties from total rehab to staging.  We strategically reposition properties for a maximum return to the client, whether it may be in reselling, or holding the high end condos while leasing and generating income.

Our clients will never need to worry about managing contractors or the permitting process for upgrading their property as we offer all of the above as turnkey solutions to all our clients.  My partner, Roland Ortiz and I have a 25 year
combined experience in luxury real estate and have been honored as top agents by multiple condominium developers.  Our keen expertise offers a very important value to anyone that may be in the market for purchasing real estate.

What are the most important questions a client should ask themselves before selecting an agent in your market? 

Someone who is entering the market to acquire real estate should ask the agent for their experience history, how knowledgeable the agent is with the area the client is focusing on and the agent’s track record.  It is always a good idea to also obtain a testimonial from a couple of clients the agent has provided service to in the past.

When clients come to you with an idea of what they want, how do you help them refine their criteria prior to finding a match?

The first step with any client is to determine their goals.  Is this a primary home, second home or investment property?  How important are certain factors (size, location, pool, waterfront, dockage, etc.), turnkey or a property that requires work, and finally price and any financing criteria.  After that, we hit the streets and find them their dream home!

What is the most important thing you look for when purchasing a home for yourself?

I look for creative and architecturally significant properties in prime locations for myself.  As an art enthusiast I like clean, open space and higher ceilings.  Natural sunlight is very important to me, so large windows with great views are a big plus.

If you had to choose one piece of advice for first-time home buyers, what would it be?

Choose the best real estate agent in your market place.  Purchase a home that you love!  Go in with the mindset that you will be holding the property for an extended period of time so purchase on the higher end of what you're comfortable spending in a market that’s on an upswing, like ours is today.

If you were not selling real estate, where would you be today?

I have a passion for architecture and design.  I recently launched itsuv design lab  (www.itsuv.com) with Jasmine Stine, a French architect and designer. I have been designing for years and have been creative director on such properties as Marquis, Paramount Bay, the Caribbean condominium and many others.

What would you say is your most proud accomplishment as a real estate agent so far?

Creating a brokerage and watching it grow into one of Miami’s leaders.  We have been named fastest growing, independently held real estate company by Inc. 500 magazine.  Additionally, Majestic Properties was recently selected to represent Miami in the invitation only, Who's Who in Luxury Real Estate network, a premier international network of agents and brokers in more than 60 countries around the world.

What property do you currently have listed that you wish more people would see?

2890 NE 28th Street, Fort Lauderdale. A dazzling 8,000 SQ FT modern waterfront home offered at $8,000,000 and worth every penny!

Sun lit modern masterpiece on prime Southeast Intracoastal point lot. Architecturally stunning with 22 foot high ceiling, walls of impact glass, limestone floors, Poggenpohl kitchen and private elevator. 267' seawall with dockage for 75-100' long vessel.

In the United States, there are a few places that offer a wide variety of luxury rentals for those who truly want to make exclusivity and decadence a part of their summer getaway.

Luxury broker The Agency says Malibu, CA is the top vacation spot for the elite thanks to its mere 40 mile trip from Los Angeles, America's unofficial celebrity hub. The seaside escape offers fine dining and all of the features and activities to promote an outdoor lifestyle.

Celebrities like Steven Spielberg and Pierce Brosnan make their homes there year round, but for many of the rich and famous the town is a perfect rental destination.

Proximity is also a draw for New Yorkers who choose the Hamptons as a vacation spot. Mariah Carey and even President Obama have made the southern end of Long Island their summer destination.

For younger celebrities, South Beach, Florida is a popular summer getaway. A vibrant club scene and shopping offer an environment perfect for celebrities like Kim Kardashian, who also is profiting on the popularity of the social scene there; the Kardashian sisters chose SoBe for their Dash boutique.

For celebrities who want to add international flair to their vacations, the South of France and the Bahamas are also gaining ground as leisure destinations. The Middle East and Turkey are also becoming more popular choices as well.
