7880 Biscayne Blvd gets a new life!

In June 2012, the Fifteen Group acquired the former Immigration and Naturalization Services (INS) building at 7880 Biscayne Blvd. The developers created inspired renderings of a proposed project, an “adaptive reuse” of a “new” 12-story building flanked by several eight-story structures. In late November 2013, another development group purchased the five-property site -- Florida Fullview International Group. Originally, its slight design modifications added an 80-room hotel. Now Florida Fullview has created revised plans further for the project, which has been renamed the Triton Center. The Fullview plan also calls for renovation and construction funding through the Immigrant Investor Program, also called the EB-5 visa program (more about this shortly). The newest architectural renderings from ADD Inc. envision the Triton Center as a collection of four interconnected 12-story buildings, a change from the structures in the previous drawings. This latest vision incorporates 722,000 square feet of residential living space, including 317 condo units and 135 hotel rooms. Add 24,000 square feet of street-level retail and 587 parking spaces, and this little project has mushroomed into a steroidal super-development. To see more project renderings, visit Curbed Miami online -- they are pretty cool. The current plans remove any architectural vestiges of the original structure, built in the 1960s to house the Gulf American Land Corporation, notorious sellers of swamp land who stripped bare thousands of acres in rural Collier County. Those gold-toned anodized aluminum brise-soleil (sunshade) panels, which residents either love or hate, will be lost to the past. According to the proposed renderings, stucco, painted metal, and colored glass will tower over a lushly landscaped central pedestrian plaza. Given the size of the project, it will at least have to be LEED Silver-certified. Often held up as a developer’s commitment to green building practices, LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification is mandatory with something of this scale; the “silver” denotes the level of certification.

Cash is King! Majority of Florida home sales still all-cash...

Cash still rules South Florida real estate. In June, Florida ranked No. 1 in the nation in cash home sales, according to CoreLogic. Some 51 percent of all closings in the state were paid for with cash in June, according to the Miami Herald. And cash deals accounted for 58.7 percent of home sales in the Miami-Miami Beach-Kendall area in June, and 58.5 percent in the Fort Lauderdale-Pompano Beach-Deerfield Beach area, the CoreLogic data showed. Nationally, cash sales fell to 33 percent of total home sales, the lowest level since September 2008, when the financial crisis struck - See more at: http://therealdeal.com/miami/blog.

Miami's Greater Downtown, Brickell and Edgewater areas are experiencing the greatest growth of residential units.

In Miami’s Greater Downtown, the Brickell and Edgewater areas are experiencing the greatest growth of residential units. Development and construction isn’t anything new to Miami but as certain areas get built out, focus shifts from one neighborhood to the next. Last week, the Miami Downtown Development Authority released its Greater Downtown Miami Residential Real Estate Market Study, prepared by Integra Realty Resources. Six submarkets were identified: Brickell, the Central Business District, Arts and Entertainment, Edgewater, Midtown and Wynwood. Over all six, nearly 14,500 residential units are in the conceptual and planning phase, pointing towards much fuller downtown in the coming years, the report said. Of the six, Brickell and Edgewater are experiencing the greatest growth, with Brickell expected to grow 27% and Edgewater 67%, the study reports. Edgewater is topping growth by percentage partly because it doesn’t have a significant number of units now. “It’s kind of miraculous to have such a beautiful area of waterfront property that was so untouched in a city as beautiful as Miami,” said Alicia Cervera Lamadrid of Cervera Real Estate. The focus on Edgewater and East Edgewater in particular is logical, considering that waterfront property has long been snapped up and developed in other locations. Cervera is handling future sales of the ION East Edgewater Condominiums. The future 2751 Biscayne Blvd. project between 27th and 28th streets is expected to break ground in 2015, and is being developed by Sakor Development. ION will add a projected 330 units at an average of $475 per square foot, slightly less than Edgewater’s overall average of $553 per square foot. “As prices go up on the beach, East Edgewater is actually a very good deal. You’ve got beautiful views, waterfront parks,” said Barbara Salk of Sakor Development. “In terms of people that will move into East Edgewater, its people who have options.” The Edgewater neighborhood is reminiscent of Miami Beach’s South of Fifth (SoFi) neighborhood ten years ago, Ms. Salk said. As interest peaks in the surrounding areas like Brickell and the Central Business District, she said, East Edgewater will fill in as developers and buyers look for adjacent neighborhoods with similar access and characteristics. “Real estate is all about location,” Ms. Salk said. Edgewater offers quick highway access and waterfront. For downtown and the surrounding areas, in coming years residents can expect greater infill. But interest isn’t the only factor that infill depends on. “The infill projects will happen more rapidly once the transportation options get further developed in Miami as well,” Ms. Salk said. The development authority’s study offers a snapshot of development in the moment. Where Brickell and Edgewater are growing fastest, areas like Midtown are in the earlier stages of life. Long-term growth is expected in the Central Business District and Arts and Entertainment areas, the study says. Unsurprisingly, domestic buyers aren’t the ones snapping up residential units in greater downtown. The study reported that 90% of buyers of new residential units are from abroad. In a city like Miami, that’s par for the course. “That’s been consistent in Miami forever. Miami is a city that has been built by immigrants,” Ms. Cervera Lamadrid said. “Out-of-country investors have an edge on how to make some money in real estate in Miami,” Ms. Salk said. As financing becomes more readily available, however, greater downtown could see more domestic buyers. “The domestic market has been on the sidelines due to a lack of financing, but as more financing mechanisms get into place there will be a new buyer base,” Ms. Salk said. If a domestic buyer was to consider snapping up a residential condo in greater downtown, excluding non-ultra luxury projects like Echo Brickell and 1000 Museum, the average price per square foot is $559, for a total average cost of $662,439.
