Miami Beaches Seville Hotel Gets a Rebirth

Posted on August 6th, 2010

The Historic Seville Hotel

The Seville on Miami Beach was listed as one of the last remaining distressed properties back in September 2009. As of August 2010, Ian Shrager’s taking it over through a recent partnership with Marriott turning the now shuttered oceanfront hotel into a luxury boutique ‘Marriott Edition’ brand over these next 3 years.  The 278,000 square foot Seville was built in 1955 with a previous attempt at a comeback in 2005, when developers announced new plans to turn it into a condo and fractional ownership complex under the Ritz-Carlton brand. Part of the old property would have been knocked down to make room for two 21 story towers, but the project couldn’t get off the ground as lenders balked in an unfriendly credit market of 05. Marriott acquired the property in July 2010 in a $57.5 million short sale from owner 2901 Beach Ventures, a partnership between Lionstone Group led by Alfredo Lowenstein and Fortune International Management, County records show, which is nearly $10 million less than a foreclosure lawsuit that had been filed on the property which has since been dismissed.

Ian Schrager Revisits The Beach

Schrager left Miami Beach a few years ago with the sale of his interest in the Morgans Hotel Group which started in 1984. Ian Schrager is well known for the Delano’s “urban resort” style & success (along with Studio 54 and Palladium) introducing the concept of a “boutique hotel” to the world. In recent years, Schrager has focused on luxury residences and a hotel in New York City along with creating the Edition brand, aimed at sophisticated travelers.

Mr. Schrager’s latest venture, a partnership with Marriott International, intends to create a new brand of as many as 100 hotels that will combine the personal, intimate, individualized and unique lodging experience that he created with the operational expertise that Marriott is known for on a global scale.” -IanSchragerCompany.com

Marriott’s Edition Brand in SoBe

Marriott’s portfolio includes the luxury brand Ritz-Carlton, the upscale JW Marriott, quality brands including Marriott and Renaissance and moderate hotels Courtyard by Marriott and Fairfield Inn by Marriott. In addition to Edition, it also recently created the Autograph Collection, currently featuring 10 hotels with an individualistic ambience. Edition seeks to set itself apart by creating individualized hotels in busy markets that reflect the cultures of their surroundings with an emphasis on sophistication and service. Other planned Edition locations include Mexico City, Bangkok, Istanbul and Barcelona. Schrager and Marriott announced the partnership three years ago. Initially, plans called for the South Beach Marriott at 161 Ocean Dr. to become an Edition, but that failed to materialize as the recession hit.

South Florida’s historic hotel Seville, which sits on nearly three acres of beachfront property at 2901 Collins Ave., is expected to open in three years after it undergoes significant renovations during a continued market upswing.

Miami Beach Loft Condos – Open Living Environment

Posted on May 26th, 2010

South Beach & Miami Beach lofts were almost unheard of until the real estate boom from 2002 to 2005. As developers looked for something fresh and unique, the loft craze took off and yet still only make up a small fraction of Miami condo inventory. Originally popular with artists, they are now highly sought-after by others looking for open “creative” space. Different than the normal boxed in condominium, a loft condo is a 2-story adaptable open space created for residential use. While some of these loft units were created by developers during the renovation of old buildings such as found in Downtown Miami, a number of them are brand new mid-rise developments as seen along the Miami beaches.

The loft term was used loosely in 2003 with loft condos becoming difficult to acquire and typically priced over $500,000 while today they begin as low as $275,000. Loft-style refers to an open space with high ceilings and typically only 1-story, while a true traditional loft is a 2-story floor plan usually opened up from the living room (as seen below) exposing the upper or lower areas. A Miami loft is not to be confused with a townhome which has the open areas enclosed adding additional interior space yet having stairs leading to the upper level of the residence. Both types of lofts offer buyers or tenants proximity to urban amenities afforded by traditional lofts, but without perceived safety risks of living in economically depressed formerly industrial areas. Below we will explore Miami Beach loft condo inventory and the differences from South Miami Beach up to the island of North Bay Village and North Beach (NoBe) and in no special order.

Yes, I have been absent from blogging. As KT once said, I’m a Realtor (Broker) first and blogger second (maybe third) but I will always have a passion voicing my opinions, analyzing the facts and speaking out loudly here for other to see and know. My personal business is explosive this year with normal sales, REO’s, short sales selling and buyers on an all time high with renewed confidence in the Miami “Beach” condo market since mid-2009. I believe it was the latest MiamiDreamRealty blog where I became overwhelmed, had to step back for awhile, and build a killer real estate team to handle the leads across the Miami Dade County beaches; finally finding & making time to blog here again!

Resort and Second-Home Property Specialist (RSPS) Designation

Posted on April 5th, 2010

Resort Certification Demonstrates Expertise in Second-Home and Resort Market

Miami Beach, Florida, April 5th, 2010 — Introduced in January 2006, the Resort and Second-Home Property Specialist (RSPS) Certification is a nationally-recognized certification awarded by the National Association of REALTORS® to real estate professionals who wish to demonstrate and promote – to consumers and their peers alike – their expertise in the varied specialty.

According to an NAR survey, more than 140,000 REALTORS currently work in resort area and second home markets. Just about every market contains second-home properties, not just obvious resort areas. In addition to classic vacation homes, the niche also includes college housing and properties for investment purposes.

“The RSPS certification program is unlike any other professional certification or designation,” said Allan ‘Dutch’ Dechert, 2008 chair of the NAR Resort & Second-Home Committee and a RSPS. “It takes specialized skills and knowledge to maximize the business opportunities in resort and second-home markets. You need to be able to communicate your proficiency in this aspect of real estate. RSPS Certification lets everyone know you’re serious about lifestyle real estate.”

The program focuses on developing the knowledge and skill base that real estate professionals need to specialize in buying, selling, or managing second homes in a resort, recreational, and/or vacation destination and properties for investment, development, or retirement. In order to achieve the RSPS Certification, REALTORS are required to take two core courses. They must also complete two electives or hold the ABR, CIPS, CPM or CRS designations. REALTORS or consumers interested in learning more about the program may log on to www.Realtor.org/Resort or contact NAR Resort Specialties at 800/874-6500, Ext. 8393.
