JV Agrees To Hero Housing Provisions In Aventura

icon aventura 1170x435

The City of Aventura recently passed a measure that would offer reduced rents for teachers and first responders so they can afford to live near where they work. They call it the Hero Housing provision.

The Related Group and BH Group are the first developers to build a project incorporating the provision. The city allows the developers to boost the project’s density by agreeing to the rent reductions. Also, the builders promised to provide 10,000 square feet of storage space in the parking garage for the city, pay $125,000 annually for 10 years for the city’s on-demand vehicle service and pay $1 million to offset the impacts of the development on the city.

The Icon Aventura project will be 26 stories and will go up next to the Aventura View office building. It would feature 275 condos, 20 Hero Housing apartments and 12,000 square feet of retail on the ground floor of the new 10-story parking garage.

Miami-based Arquitectonica designed the development. The two joint venture partners acquired the four-acre site for $51 million in 2022.

Four Projects Coming Soon To Wynwood

The evolution of the Wynwood Arts District in Miami continues with new condos, hotels, office, and retail buildings replacing the old graffiti-decorated warehouses that once served as artist workshops, galleries, and factories.

According to the Wynwood Business Improvement District, four projects are slated to break ground near North Miami Avenue within the next few years.

In late 2023, Rilea Group, a real estate development company based in Brickell, intends to start building The Mohawk Wynwood, a 12-story mixed-use building with 225 apartments, 22,000 square feet of ground floor retail, and 3,500 square feet of offices. The project includes a roof top pool deck, a dog park, a two-level gym, and a residents’ lounge.

The Mohawk Wynwood will be built on a 1.5-acre site at 56 N.E. 29th St. that the Rilea Group bought from Lombardi Properties for $22 million in June 2021. It is planned to be completed by late 2024 or early 2025, the Wynwood BID stated.

Another project by the Rilea Group, The Rider Wynwood will be a 12-story, 131-unit building with 6,000 square feet of retail, a rooftop deck pool, a dog park, a resident’s lounge, and a state-of-the-art gym.

According to the Wynwood BID, the project, which may be used as a short-term rental property, is expected to break ground in late 2023. It will be built on a 1.5-acre property at 94 N.E. 29th St. that the Rilea Group acquired for $12.21 million in October 2021.

L&L Holding and Oak Row Equities, a pair of real estate development firms with roots in New York, intend to build about 266,000 square feet of offices, 509 apartment units, about 26,000 square feet of retail, and a 25,000-square-foot outdoor public plaza at 95 N.W. 29th St.

L&L and Oak Row Equities (formerly known as Carpe Real Estate Partners) invested $53 million assembling the 2.85-acre site where Wynwood Plaza will be built.

The Related Group in Miami has teamed up with hotelier Sydell Group and New York-based TriStar Capital to build NoMad Residences at 280 N.W. 27th St. The project will include 329 short-term rental condos, 18,452 square feet of commercial and about 200 parking spaces.

The Related Group, TriStar Capital, and Lndmrk Development paid $26.5 million for the 1.25-acre site where NoMad will be built in September 2021. The project is expected to break ground early next year and projected to be finished in 2024.

Bazbaz Buys Wynwood Development Site For Mixed-Use Project

Bazbaz Development can finally scratch a seven-year itch and move forward on a mixed-use project that’s been in the works in Wynwood.

An affiliate of the New York-based developer paid $12 million for 1.5 acres at 2134 North Miami Avenue, records show. The seller is an entity managed by Brett Lang, a commercial real estate investor who heads Miami Beach-based Centric Capital, according to his LinkedIn profile.

In 2003, Lang’s affiliate paid $1.7 million for the six vacant parcels, which are currently used as temporary parking lots.

Bazbaz is planning two interconnected buildings with 229 apartments and 79 extended stay hotel rooms according to Bazbaz’s website. The project will also include 45,000 square feet of office, 18,000 square feet of retail and 293 parking spaces.

In 2015, the Miami Urban Design Review Board approved Bazbaz’s architectural plans, which show an eight-story building and 12-story building connected in a L-shape. Bazbaz’s project is adjacent to another development site where The Related Group is also planning a two-building mixed-use complex.

Developers Move Fast To Meet Miami’s Growth Needs

As Miami continues to rebound from the pandemic, developers are making their mark by building new towers and infrastructure to meet the current and future needs of the city.

Rishi Kapoor, “Best of Miami: Leading Residential Comeback” nominee and founder and CEO of Location Ventures, said one leading developer worthy of recognizing is Terra Group, headed by CEO David Martin.

This past year, the group has hit a number of milestones, including breaking ground on mixed-income transit-oriented housing project Grove Central and securing a $64.8 million construction loan for the development of 27-acre multifamily development Natura Gardens. Two of the greatest achievements, Mr. Martin said, were the deliveries of condominium buildings Eighty Seven Park in North Beach and Park Grove in Coconut Grove, both of which promptly sold out.

Authenticity, Mr. Martin said, is key in development, and Terra wants to build projects that make neighborhoods better and give residents pride. In 2021, he said, a big goal for the group is to focus on market research centered on post-pandemic needs and trends that will inform later development decisions and innovations.

Having grown up in Miami, Mr. Martin said, he has a lot of pride in his community and tries to stay active in multiple ways by taking an interest in cultural, children’s and health issues. Currently, he said, he serves on the boards of Nicklaus Children’s Hospital and The Bass.

“There’s a lot of organizations I’ve taken an advisory role in,” he said, “and also a lot that we support financially.” 

One issue Mr. Martin said he hopes Terra can help address is that of affordable housing in Miami-Dade. Roughly 90% of the built environment in the county, he said, is zoned for single-family housing. 

“A lot of people look to solve affordability by creating subsidies which, in our view, is not sustainable,” he said.

“My view,” he continued, “is that affordable housing should be sprinkled throughout our entire county, not only in certain pockets. And we have an idea on how to build affordable housing in a more cost-effective way without requiring subsidies.”

Jorge Pérez, chairman of The Related Group, philanthropist and champion of the arts, also said this is an issue developers and officials must consider as the county moves into the future.

“Miami should not and cannot become a city solely for the 1%,” he told Miami Today via email. “We are going through one of the most exciting times in the history of the city; however, we cannot forget there are still countless families and individuals in need of opportunity. Officials must leverage the lessons of the globe’s other major metropolitan areas to build a Miami everyone – no matter their background or socioeconomic circumstances – can feel proud of.”

Mr. Perez and The Related Group were cited by Ron Shuffield, president & CEO of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices EWM Realty, for their accomplishments and contributions to the Miami-Dade community not just this year but over a handful of decades.

“It’s his mark that established the style of the “new Miami,” Mr. Shuffield said. “When you look at the architecture of our landscape, so much of that Jorge had a hand in. It was his vision that could see what would become a dynamic downtown area.”

“I founded Related in 1979 with the goal of building an even better Miami,” Mr. Perez said. “More than four decades later, Miami has been totally transformed and is well on its way to becoming one of the world’s great cities. Nevertheless, each one of our jobs continues to be built with that original goal in mind, no matter the price point or target demographic.”

From including museum-quality art in developments to building community green spaces, he said, Related is always trying to deliver on that mission and improve the neighborhoods it builds in. The Group has expanded since its founding decades ago, and now has over  $2 billion worth of inventory planned and under construction across the nation. 

Last fall Jon Paul Perez, son of Jorge Perez, took the reins as company president. Being able to pass the crown to a relative, Jorge Perez said, is a great achievement in itself.

“I’ve been very fortunate to have been able to achieve a great deal over the course of my life and career,” he said, “but nothing beats building a family that shares my passion for making a positive difference.”

“Driving around the city and seeing just how far neighborhoods have evolved brings me great joy,” he continued. “But knowing that the next generation of the Perez family will continue my lifelong efforts is my ultimate legacy. I truly wish I could see the new heights Miami will reach and the role Related will play.”

The group’s focus, he said, is not just on development. 

“Through The Related Group Philanthropic Foundation,” he said, “we are providing support to a variety of causes, from health and wellness to social equity. We are also proud supporters of a variety of Miami-Dade organizations, including FIU, The National YoungArts Foundation and many more.”

As Miami-Dade continues to set its sights on becoming a tech and finance hub, Mr. Perez said he would work to support that goal. 

“I am committed to supporting elected officials and the private sector as they continue to attract national and international businesses to the city,” he said. “This influx of capital and talent goes far beyond real estate sales, it is about setting the city and region up for the next stage in its growth. From day one, I knew Miami/South Florida had the potential to be a hub for business, culture and lifestyle – and that vision is becoming more and more real with every day.”

Two other developers that deserve recognition for their work this year, Mr. Martin said, are Goldman Properties, which has developed a number of properties in Wynwood, and Dacra, headed by President and CEO Craig Robins.

Bank OZK provided the financing for the 12-story mixed-use development planned for Northwest Third Avenue between 28th and 29th streets. Related, Alex Karakhanian’s Lndmrk Development and Tricera Capital are partnering to develop the project.

The Dorsey will include 306 apartments, with a majority between 500 square feet and 620 square feet, with some as small as 400 square feet. The commercial space will be divided into about 33,000 square feet of retail and 78,000 square feet of office.

The Related joint venture secured approval for the project from the Miami Urban Development Review Board in late 2019. Arquitectonica is the architect.

Monthly rents are expected to range between $1,800 and $3,900. Amenities will include a gym with a yoga studio and spa, a courtyard, recreation area for pets and a garage, according to a spokesperson.

Karakhanian said the building is expected to be delivered in about 20 months. Construction began this month.

Weck 29 LLC paid $32 million for the assemblage in September 2019. Affiliated companies secured the loan.

Related has been active in Wynwood, where Jon Paul Pérez, newly minted president of the firm, has taken the helm.
