Mast Capital, together with its partner Rockpoint, has recently celebrated a significant achievement in their construction project at 3900 Alton Road. This new nine-story building in Miami Beach, a creation of renowned Arquitectonica with landscape design by Within Hults + Partners, introduces 178 upscale units to the market.
The project, managed by Kaufman Lynn Construction as the general contractor, was recently highlighted in a LinkedIn video marking its topping-off ceremony. JGR Construction, Inc. and US American Concrete are handling key structural and concrete aspects of the construction, with Coastal Metal and AKO Plumbing Corp contributing to the metalwork and plumbing, respectively. Additionally, two tower cranes from Morrow Equipment and formwork solutions from Doka USA are in place, while NV5, Inc. oversees construction materials testing.
Funded by a $64 million loan from PNC Bank in November 2022, the groundbreaking of this Miami Beach residential project set the stage for its anticipated completion. The first units are expected to be available by Fall 2024, in line with Mast Capital and Rockpoint’s aim to offer high-quality living spaces in a sought-after South Florida neighborhood.
Camilo Miguel Jr., CEO of Mast Capital, expressed his enthusiasm about the project, emphasizing its unique position in the Miami Beach real estate market, known for its limited availability of developable land. Unlike most new developments in the area that focus on properties for sale, this project targets the growing demand for luxury rental housing.
The building’s design features a blend of luxury and functionality, offering studio to three-bedroom apartments with high-end finishes like Italian cabinetry, porcelain flooring, and spacious balconies. The development also boasts amenities such as an elevated pool deck with bay views, BBQ and outdoor gaming areas, fitness and yoga studios, a resident lounge, co-working spaces, and a pet washing station.
Dan Domb, Managing Member at Rockpoint, also highlighted the importance of this development. He noted the strong demand for premium rentals in Miami Beach and the partnership’s strategy to invest in multifamily residences in the high-demand, limited-supply South Florida housing market.
Mast Capital’s significant role in Florida’s real estate scene is underscored by its diverse portfolio, which includes various residential and commercial properties across the region. The firm’s ambitious growth strategy involves acquisitions totaling over $3.5 billion in project capitalization and developing more than 4,000 residential units in South Florida’s Fort Myers and Tampa metro areas.
3900 Alton Changes Name to Alton Bay
Sometimes all you need is a good rebrand in order to get the sales “juices” flowing…at least that may be the idea behind 3900 Alton‘s recent name change. Earlier today, two years after launching sales, the Facebook business page for 3900 Alton was renamed to Alton Bay. Additionally, their website http://www.3900Alton.com now forwards to http://www.altonbay.com/. No additional information has been provided. According to their Facebook page and website, the waterfront development will still include 78 residences at 3900 Alton Road.
3900 Alton Brings Convenience, Style & Tranquility To Mid-Beach
Nestled just between the 41st Street business district and the Biscayne Bay is a 10 acre development site that will soon be home to a boutique building, 3900 Alton. The project was designed by Richard Bofill and will have 78 units in 8 floors.
Each of the residences will have a chef-grade Poliform kitchen with Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, 10 foot ceilings, floor to ceiling energy efficient windows, frameless glass showers and Savant Home Automation systems. The 3 garden residences will have lush private gardens designed by Naturalficial, other units will have spacious balconies with glass railings. All residences will come with one parking space, 24 hour valet for guests and access to the Tesla House car. Each owner will receive VIP access to the Beach Club at the Nobu Hotel and Eden Roc. Many residences will have private elevators, and this is one of the only projects in the area that also has Shabbat elevators for those who observe.
Onsite amenities include a 3rd floor landscaped pool terrace with lounge seating, sunset bay view deck, lounging cabanas and daybeds, a children’s pool, a poolside refreshment & cocktail bar, towel service as well as a summer kitchen and yoga area. Art installations for the lobby, pool deck and other common areas are by Loris Cecchini, Fernando Mastrangelo, Philip Taaffe and Christoph Keller. Indoors, residents will enjoy a private dining room, children’s playroom, secure wine vault and storage, a light-filled fitness center with sauna, steam and changing area, 24 hour business center and social lounge with gaming area, library and media room.
The VIP Beach Club membership will give residents access to cabanas, beach lounges, towel service and beach butlers as well as preferential access to golfing and tennis at the Miami Beach Golf Club. The building will have community paddle boards, kayaks and bicycles for the residents, with the house car available to take people to Sunset Harbour or the Eden Roc.
Aside from the features and amenities, I really like the location of this project. It is in the middle of an area that is largely residential with single family homes, so a luxury condo development is refreshing. The views are spectacular and the project is walking distance to both the Talmudic University, multiple synagogues as well as the St. Patrick’s church and school. Mt. Sinai Hospital is the biggest employer on Miami Beach and is a bike ride away, along with the 41st Street business district. The access to the Julia Tuttle is very easy for those who would like to visit the Design District, Midtown, Brickell or Downtown, among other attractions on the mainland.
The construction is slated to begin early this year, with completion in 2019. Prices start just under $800,000 for 1 bedroom plus den garden residences up to $2.3 million for a 2,100 square foot 4 bedroom residence. See below for the 10+ acre site plan, renderings video, sample views and sales brochure. What do you think?
