Each home will be delivered finished and furnished, and short-term rentals are allowed under professional supervision.
The 44 levels of upscale interiors at LOFTY were designed by INC, the multi-disciplinary INC Studio. The landscape designer is Urban Robot Associates.

Niu Wine Miami Named One of the Best Bars in America for 2023
One of the top bars in the nation, according to Esquire magazine’s annual top Bars in America for 2023, is a small, intimate wine bar in downtown Miami with seven tables, two bar stools, a tiny bit of outdoor space, and some of the most intriguing natural wine you’ll find in Miami.
Consider Niu Wine an extension of Niu Kitchen, a bustling tapas restaurant and wine bar located a few doors down on Second Avenue. One of the Catalan restaurant’s proprietors, Karina Iglesias, promotes natural wine, a movement that advocates organic grapes and approaches agriculture ethically, as one of Miami’s earliest proponents.
According to the Esquire editor, “Niu Wine is a place I find myself wanting to visit more than any other in Miami at the moment. Warm, tiny, confident, its walls are lined with bottles that reflect an understanding of good wine-making and the pleasures it can bring.”
However, you don’t need to be an expert to have fun at Niu Wine. Wines by the glass are frequently changed, so check the chalkboard and discuss your preferences with the staff. They can suggest a wine for you to take home or consume at the bar. It might even be a Californian mass-produced liquid butter bomb called chardonnay, the white nectar of the gods that has a poor reputation.
A modest, regularly updated tapas menu is also offered at Niu Wine; if it’s available, Esquire suggests the thinly sliced, melting Iberico ham on a warm platter. Anchoa del Cantabrico (anchovies), tomato salad, oysters, patatas bravas, and charcuterie plates are typical small plates. However, the wine steals the show. All-natural wines from South America, Europe, and even eastern Europe are the main focus of Niu Wine.
Niu Wine is located at 134 NE Second Avenue in downtown Miami and ope Tuesday through Saturday.

In addition to its amenities, Miami Worldcenter has World Square, a lively 20,000 square foot public plaza and park intended to serve as a hub for gatherings. With alternatives for dining, entertainment, and shopping, the plaza provides open space, shaded places, and sidewalks that are favorable to pedestrians.

Tom Brady Secures Construction Loan for New Residence at Indian Creek
Seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady obtained a $35 million construction loan for his residence in Indian Creek.
In late 2020, Brady and his then-wife, supermodel Gisele Bündchen, bought the parcel at 26 Indian Creek Island Road. Brady retired from the NFL for the second and final time this year. They paid $17 million for the almost 2-acre beachfront property through an LLC run by officials of Fontainebleau Development. Developer Jeff Soffer, owner of Fontainebleau Development, and Brady are close friends.
In order to start development on the land, Fontainebleau Development submitted two notices of commencement in 2021. According to the documents, Brady intends to build a two-story residence with a security building, gym, cabana, pool, sport court, emergency generator, and more.
Brady obtained the loan from JPMorgan Chase using a covert LLC. According to the mortgage records, the initial lender was San Francisco-based First Republic Bank. First Republic was taken up by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. in May and sold to JPMorgan Chase. It was the second-largest bank failure in American history.
Brady’s loan has a starting 8.25 percent yearly interest rate while it is being built. When it expires in June 2025, the borrower will probably refinance.
In South Florida, Brady and Bündchen intend to co-parent their children after announcing their divorce last year. They lived close in a four-bedroom, 4,300 square foot lakefront property at 29 Indian Creek Island Road before getting divorced. Brady then signed a lease for an opulent condo at the Surfside Fendi Château Residences project.
We’re not too far from Bündchen. Records reveal that in October, she paid $11.5 million via a trust for a seaside demolition at 1400 Biscaya Drive in Surfside. Brady is building a mansion on Indian Creek across the lake from the 6,600-square-foot home, which was completed in 1981 on a 0.4-acre property.
Billionaires Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, who spent $24 million two years ago to purchase a waterfront property on the island, billionaire Carl Icahn, billionaire hedge funder Eddie Lampert, Taubco CEO Irwin Tauber, billionaire Hotels.com co-founder Bob Diener, and billionaire IndiGo airline co-founder Rakesh Gangwal also reside in the small, gated community of Indian Creek.

CEO of BridgeCity Capital Allan Lebovits, “The pace of construction is impressive, and we are proud to be involved in a project that brings a new level of luxury to the area. This is a unique opportunity in a highly coveted pocket of Miami Beach, and the sales velocity to date is a testament to the strong demand for new luxury residences.”
50 turnkey units with one to four bedrooms and eight penthouses are available at the first full-service boutique condominium in the neighborhood. Each residence has been painstakingly designed to offer a unique lifestyle based on convenience and community. Each tastefully presented home, ranging in size from 700 square feet to 2,700 square feet for combined units, is delivered fully furnished and ready to occupy. The interiors were designed by Arquitectonica to make the most of available space and foster a sense of connection with the outside.

Related Group Secures 18,000 Square Foot Lot in Edgewater for Development
Leading developer Related Group has purchased an 18,000-square-foot land piece in Edgewater, Miami, consisting of three adjacent sites in collaboration with Alex Karakhanian of LNDMRK.
The homes, which are located at 519, 525, and 535 Northeast 29th Street, are in a prime location and provide breathtaking views of Biscayne Bay as well as easy access to the MacArthur Bridge, which connects Edgewater to Miami Beach, and the I-195, which offers a direct route to Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach. The majority of the undeveloped plot cost $12 million to buy.
According to the President of Related, Nick Perez, “Related identified the growth potential of Edgewater years ago, when we delivered the transformational, four-tower Paraiso Bay community along with Edgewater’s first five-star waterfront restaurant, Amara at Paraiso.
Edgewater offers it all- prime waterfront views, world-class culinary offerings, and easy access to other key hubs, from the Design District to Miami Beach. This newest acquisition is another step forward in our efforts to solidify the area as a true hot spot.”
The site’s particular development plans are still a secret. The land, according to public records, is designated T6-36-A, which allows for the building of up to 36 floors and 150 units per acre. About 60 units might be created within the permitted parameters without the need for further bonuses.
Joel Rodriguez and Alex Suarez of Global Investment Realty served as the deal’s brokers, and PPD Edgewater LLC, run by Esteban Koffsman, was the seller. A well-known real estate firm called LNDMRK Development focuses on finding, acquiring, and building commercial, residential, and mixed-use developments all across the Southeastern United States. Along with The Dorsey and Nomad Residences Wynwood, both of which are in Wynwood, Related and LNDMRK are actively looking for more joint venture options throughout South Florida.
