Updated Renderings Revealed for MG’s New Village of Coral Gables 48 Residence Tower
Prior to breaking ground and shortly after the official launch of its cutting-edge, on-site showroom, MG Developer unveiled updated renderings of the opulent interiors of The Village at Coral Gables new development.
The Village at Coral Gables, which offers 48 units spanning over four separate collections—Townhomes, Lofts, Villas, and Flats—is one of the most eagerly awaited development to enter Coral Gables’ market.
The style and size of the units varies, ranging from elegant flats with two bedrooms, a study, and a balcony to attractive townhomes with four bedrooms that are 1,750 to 3,100 square feet in size. The traditional yet contemporary village will also have smart recreational features for residents to enjoy, such as a Club House, Fitness Center, Business Center, and a Pool with a Pool House.
The Village at Coral Gables site is situated at 535 Santander Avenue and spread across 17 lots. By 2024, the $50 million development should be finished according to the developer.
The project’s carefully chosen interiors pay homage to Seville, Spain’s aesthetic elegance and way of life, and carry on the heritage of Coral Gables’ creator and dreamer, George Merrick, and his idea of “The City Beautiful.” Furniture was chosen from RH (Restoration Hardware), which has established its design dominance in the market for luxury lifestyle products.
The Mediterranean Revival-style design of The Village at Coral Gables will be modeled after the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929 in Seville’s Plaza de Espaa, which served as the neighborhood’s energetic hub and was ringed by gardens, courtyards, and magnificent fountains.
MG’s design team, lead by architect Maria De La Guardia of De La Guardia Victoria Architects & Urbanists, was inspired by Merrick’s seven towns and created ageless architecture that blends with the naturally lit houses, facilities, and common places.
The Village at Coral Gables is surrounded by lush, tree-lined streets that give the impression of being in the suburbs, but it is actually just a short stroll from Downtown Coral Gables, as well as being close to some of South Florida’s most prestigious golf courses, The Biltmore Hotel, popular tourist destinations, and top restaurants. The Village at Coral Gables is positioned to sell out rapidly because of all the amenities it offers, as well as its magnificent design and luxurious lifestyle.
LeBron James’ Real Estate Portfolio is HEATING Up in Miami
According to public records, the top player for the Los Angeles Lakers and former Miami Heat purchased a luxury condo in Sunny Isles Beach at The Estates at Acqualina. James paid $9 million for the 43rd floor condo at Acqualiana.
Akron, an Ohio-based business founded by James purchased the 2-story unit at 17909 Collins Avenue from the developer. This summer saw the completion of the north tower, which rises 49 stories tall and features 154 luxury condo units.
A 45,000 square foot luxury villa with an ice rink, bowling alley, and the Avra Miami Estiatorio restaurant will be delivered as part of Estates at Acqualina later this year. The late fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld created the lobbies in both skyscrapers.
The acquisition signifies James’ return to South Florida as one of the greatest basketball players in history. James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh made up the “Big Three” while they were all members of the Heat from 2010 to 2014.
In 2015, he sold his waterfront residence in Miami’s Coconut Grove district for $13.4 million. James sold one of his Los Angeles houses in Brentwood last year for $19.6 million.
According to Forbes, the athlete became a billionaire this summer and is a co-owner of the clothing chain Unknwn, which has outlets in Wynwood and Akron, Ohio. Additionally, he has investments in businesses including Tonal, a startup home gym, and Blaze Pizza.
The Estates of Acqualina, by the Trump Group led by brothers Jules and Eddie Trump, the Estates is their third condominium development in Sunny Isles. Three single-family residences are part of the development, and prices varied from the mid $4 million range to $35 million for the penthouses.

The building will also contain 1,321 square feet of commercial and retail space, as well as parking for up to 694 cars and 350 bicycles.
The third cube, which is located towards the base of the tower, rotates in response to the pool deck, while the second cube, which is placed further to the east, forms an outdoor dining area for an expensive restaurant. The first cube rotates upward at street level to welcome locals and guests while supporting the entire tower.
Peacock Alley, a specialty restaurant, indoor/outdoor pre-function and event spaces, conference and boardrooms, a resort-style pool deck with private cabanas, a spa, and a fitness facility will all be considered signature areas.
Residences will feature the newest smart home technology with access to concierge services through a personalized mobile app. The app will have a comprehensive list of services, including the ability to make reservations for meals, 24-hour room service, spa and fitness services, house cars, access to valet service, package delivery, and dog walking.
Sales for the project began in March 2021 and sold 75% within the first 9 months. Now the project is sold out! The designer for the project is listed as BAMO.
The price of a residence begins at $1 million, and PMG Residential is in charge of sales and marketing.
Hilton Management Services will be in charge of running the Waldorf Astoria Residences Miami.
Demolition has already begun on the existing asphalt as well as field site borings being completed. Deep Soil Mix permit has been issued and work was started in July 2022.
The tower is expected to be finished in 2025.

North Bay Village Approves 7.3 Million Square Foot Development Project Featuring 1,936 Residential Units
Sunbeam Properties, the proprietor of WSVN Channel 7, has a 7.3 million square foot redevelopment plan that has officially been approved by the North Bay Village Council. The special area plan for a 12.9-acre site covering 1400, 1401, 1415, 1600, and 1601 79th Street Causeway, as well as 155 and 1624 North Bay Causeway, was approved by the Village Council on a 3-2 vote early on Wednesday.
A 300-room hotel, 1,936 residential units, 200,000 square feet of office space, 670,000 square feet of retail space, 117 units of workforce housing, and around 5,000 parking spots are all included in the development plan. Additionally, there would be 84,366 square feet of public space, including a half-mile pedestrian walkway known as the “island walk” that would be surrounded by restaurants and stores. A marina would also be a part of the project.
The project’s highest structure would be 650 feet tall. To lessen the number of shadows cast upon the smaller dwellings, the structures closer to single-family homes would be smaller. Buildings north of the project would be taller and would rise 240 feet in height south of the causeway.
The offices and studios of WSVN will eventually be relocated as part of the construction. WSVN and Sunbeam Properties are owned by the multibillionaire Ansin family.
The project’s first phase, according to Ansin, would be built south of the causeway and will have 500 to 600 apartments spread across two buildings, along with a restaurant, grocery store, and other retail space that may house an urgent care facility or a daycare. Sunbeam Properties must apply for building permits for the first phase within two years in accordance with its development agreement with the village. The first renters, according to Ansin, should move in within five years.
As the Ansin family celebrates the 60th anniversary of running WSVN in North Bay Village, CEO Andy Ansin admitted that this was an emotionally charged decision for him. He has visited that studio ever since he was a youngster.
Although Ansin said the initial concept wasn’t for redevelopment, Sunbeam Properties over time purchased surrounding lands. According to Ansin, the first purchase was made to stop a strip club from being built next door. It bought a nearby office complex so the TV station would have more parking.
Ansin discovered North Bay Village had potential after having experts from the University of Miami School of Architecture do research on future renovation. However, it necessitated moving the TV studio.
Ansin stated that he is still looking for a new studio for WSVN. He emphasized that it would require plenty of parking, hurricane-resistant construction, and backup power generation.
PlusUrbana, a firm based in Miami, is the project’s architect. Attorney Ian DeMello, who is headquartered in Miami, is the developer’s representative.
