The Village of Coral Gables

By the end of July, MG Developer is expected to break ground on the Village of Coral Gables, which will include a mix of for-sale villas, townhomes, lofts, and flats. MG Developer has also obtained a $67.5 million construction loan. The Miami-based developer, headed by CEO Alirio Torrealba, received the loan from Churchill Real Estate.

The Village at Coral Gables is situated at 535 Santander Avenue and spread across 17 lots, bounded by Malaga Avenue, Santander Avenue, Segovia Street, and Hernando Street. 

The new images offer a sneak peek at a few of the excellent features that will honor the city’s legacy while providing for contemporary opulent conveniences. The large wellness clubhouse exudes a modern and tropical environment. It was created in the manner of the Mediterranean revival, and its color palette combines natural tones with lush green flora and subtle gold décor accents.

The exquisitely designed amenity spaces raise the bar for contemporary living in historic Coral Gables and were curated by MG Development in association with renowned architect De La Guardia Victoria Architects & Urbanists. Some amenities include like high-speed wi-fi and a large monitor screen to host virtual meetings and more. They also include a fitness wing, a luxurious plunge pool, a library, and a conference center.

The carefully chosen interiors draw inspiration from Seville, Spain’s visual appeal and way of life, MG Developer sought to carry on George Merrick’s legacy. The boutique 48-home private enclave will honor Merrick’s tradition and history in a timeless yet contemporary manner.

A full block of courtyards will be incorporated into The Village at Coral Gables, which will be surrounded by gardens with alcoves modeled after those in the Plaza de Espaa. Fifty percent of the site is anticipated to be covered with lush vegetation and hidden parking garages with decorative elements that go well with the Coral Gables neighborhood.

Townhomes, Lofts, Villas, and Flats are the four main groupings offered at The Village at Coral Gables. The style and size of the residences will vary, ranging from elegant flats with two bedrooms, a study, and a balcony to attractive townhomes with four bedrooms that are between 1,750 and 3,100 square feet in size.

Construction is expected to be completed by 2024. If you or someone you know have an interest in purchasing at the Village of Coral Gables, please contact Lucas Lechuga via email at [email protected] or by phone at (786)247-6332.

Related Group Secures 18,000 Square Foot Lot in Edgewater for Development

Related Secures Vacant Land in Edgewater
Related Secures Vacant Land in Edgewater

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.

The proposal with a letter of intent was submitted to the review board in December 2022 with Clear Residences featuring 545 residential units, 4,190 square feet of ground floor retail, and 199 parking spaces.

New Development in Miami-Clear Residences

Joseph R. Colletti is listed as the officer for Clear Communities Miami North Limited. Clear Communities originally purchased the site in 2019 for $18 million while obtaining a mortgage for $10 million through the Pacific National Bank in Miami. The price equaled $756 per square foot.

According to the site’s T6-80-O zoning, an 80-story tower could be built there, requiring Federal Aviation Administration height approval.

New York-based developer, the Witkoff Group, is steadily working to change the Miami Arena’s former location. The thriving Miami Worldcenter’s premium real estate is getting ready to welcome three towers rising 57 stories tall.

Recently, Witkoff signed the utilities deal for the site at 700 N. Miami Avenue at Miami Worldcenter. The expected total for the connection fees for utilities and the Biscayne Basin Sanitary Sewer Special Connection fee is $2,085,466.50 and $1,265,004. Alex Witkoff signed the contract on behalf of the construction company, WG 700 North Miami LLC.

The signing of the utility deal and obtaining FAA height approvals for the towers are significant steps in the development process, even though Miami’s Building Department has yet to get construction licenses for the project.

On this large-scale undertaking, Monroe Capital, based in Chicago, is working with Witkoff Group. The location, which is within the confines of Northwest 8th Street, Northwest 1st Avenue, and North Miami Avenue, was previously slated to become the Marriott Marquis Miami Worldcenter Hotel & Expo Center, but is now in line for a dramatic overhaul. This includes the development of three imposing structures that could rise as high as 685 feet. Nichols Architects created the design.

The proposal promises a diverse mix of apartment buildings, shops, and dining establishments. With the utility agreement signed the 700 North Miami Avenue project is preparing for its vertical construction phase, marking an important step in the redevelopment of the former Miami Arena site.

This mixed-use project will undoubtedly become a landmark addition to Miami’s skyline due to its massive scale, prominent location, and reputation of its development and design team. It will also undoubtedly play a significant role in future developments at Miami Worldcenter.
