Cryptocurrency Making Headway in Real Estate – Miami’s First Development Will Start Accepting Digital Currency
The real estate market is changing and it’s happening fast! We have seen sellers accepting cryptocurrency with offers as a bargaining chip and now we have our first Miami development accepting the digital platform currency for their development.
Arte Surfside Miami Beach is the first to join the cryptocurrency movement! Arte has officially partnered with SolidBlock, a securities trading platform, to provide safe and secure transactions for buying and selling needs.
SolidBlock’s is an end-to-end platform that helps real estate developers and fund managers raise funds offering digital securities. This platform assists with ‘tokening’ assets and selling shares in exchange for cryptocurrency. They believe that helping reduce overhead costs by moving quickly as well as structuring the safety for your business needs will achieve the highest level of cryptocurrency trading satisfaction. SolidBlock was founded in 2018 and has just recently expanded to the United States.
According to the Developer for Arte Surfside, Giovanni Fasciano, “Cryptocurrency is not only viable and sustainable new asset, it’s also the future of wealth. As more technology executives move to Miami and bring cryptocurrency along with them, it is crucial that buildings start to devise plans to make blockchain transactions easier and more secure for investors…”
Arte Surfside is setting the bar for real estate transactions in Miami and we are excited to see what is in store. The future of real estate is here. Are you ready?

One Thousand Museum Construction Update: Cladding Panels Have Arrived!
For those who are curious about how and when the exoskeleton on Zaha Hadid’s One Thousand Museum will be finished, your wait is over. The massive GRFC (glass fiber reinforced concrete) panels that will cover the exoskeleton have begun to arrive, according to developer Louis Birdman.
The panels are what will give a smooth curvaceous finish to the rough concrete structure, Birdman said in a Facebook post earlier today as he shared photos of the progress. “The process has started on level 8 and they will be working their way around the base of tower and up to level 15, then down the columns to the ground and after that they will start cladding the garage podium on the west, south and east elevations. Then they will finished with the installation of the massive 7 story architectural fins on the east and south elevations.”
It will take nearly 5,000 custom pieces of GFRC to create the signature curves, and they also serve as an additional protection to the building, in the even that Miami is visited by another hurricane. Adding to the challenge, all of the formwork has to be shipped to Miami from the supplier in Dubai.
Here is a quick video that details how GFRC is made. It was also used on the facade of a building in Miami’s Design District.
