College Station by ROVR and The Related Group

ROVR Development and Related Plan to Build 48 Story Tower in Downtown Miami- College Station

College Station by ROVR and The Related Group

The Related Group is at it again with another tower proposed in downtown Miami. Along with the Miami Parking Authority, The Related Group, and ROVR Development are proposing to replace a downtown Miami parking garage with a 48-story development.

On Feb. 2, the Miami Off-Street Parking Board, or MPA, will vote on a 99-year lease and development agreement for the College Station Garage at 190 N.E. Third Street which is very close to Miami Dade College.

When the MPA received an unsolicited proposal for the property in July 2021, the process began. It solicited public bids for the property and received bids from College Station Partners LLC, a joint venture with The Related Group and ROVR Development, as well as Terra of Miami. On January 19, an MPA review committee gave College Station Partners’ bid a higher grade for the development.

The College Station project would include 1.88 million square feet of space and include 1,200 residences, 8,214 square feet of retail space, 33,865 square feet of public service space, 30,000 square feet of amenities, and 1,357 parking spots.

The completed facility would contain the same number of public parking spots as the present garage, which will be demolished. The MPA would own these spaces.

The developer stated that 20% of the units would be affordable housing for seniors earning up to 50% of the local median income, while the other 15% would be worker housing for those earning up to 140% of the area median income. Miami’s current median family income is $39,000.

According to the proposal, the public service space might be used for a fire station or an urgent care clinic to support the downtown’s fast-rising population, including a not-for-profit art’s center.

The units would range from 360 to 1,310 square feet in size. There would be 138 studio apartments, 636 one-bedroom apartments, 354 two-bedroom apartments, and 72 three-bedroom apartments.

The lease is expected to be signed in the first quarter of 2023, taking up to 60 months to construct. The application said that the developers would have to establish alternate parking arrangements for tenants of the adjoining Downtown Lofts I and II condos, which would use this garage for parking, during the construction time.

According to the lease’s proposed financial terms, College Station Partners would pay the MPA $500,000 upfront, about $2 million per year during construction to compensate for missed parking revenue and 10% of the project’s net cash flows for rent following completion. According to the developers, this would equate to a $1.27 billion economic gain to the MPA over the life of the 99-year lease, not including the value of the new public parking garage.

Bentley Residences in Sunny Isles Beach

Dezer Development Plans to Launch Sales for Bentley Residences this Month

Bentley Residences in Sunny Isles Beach

Following the completion of the $10 million oceanfront sales center, Dezer Development plans to begin sales of Bentley Residences this year. The sales center and site located in Sunny Isles Beach features a full model unit for potential buyers.

Bentley Residences will be located at 18401 Collins Avenue and will be considered the world’s first Bentley-branded residential building. According to the Developer, once sales launch, they plan for a $1.2 billion sellout.

Seeking to capitalize on the region’s high demand for residential real estate, developers have been hurrying to begin sales of new condo buildings around South Florida. This was one of the driving factors to get the sales launched for Bentley Residences

Dezer plans to open the sales center in two phases, one at the end of January 2022 and the second phase in March 2022. The 12,000-square-foot sales center, which will be built on the site of the former Armani/Casa Residences sales gallery, at 18325 Collins Avenue, will contain a 6,000-square-foot model of a Bentley unit, a broker’s lounge, and a theater for presentations.

According to a press release, a life-sized Bentley sculpture will be displayed outside of the sales gallery before being relocated to the Bentley Residences site after completion of the tower.

The project itself will rise 60 stories tall at 749 feet. The tower will feature 216 luxury condos with in-unit garages and some units showcasing large pools on the balconies. Pricing for units will range from $3.9 million to $6 million for water-facing units. Ocean-facing units will range from $5.5 million to $7.5 million while penthouses will be in the $20 million range.

Units on the east side will have four-car garages, while those on the west side will have three-car garages. With its patterned glass, the Sunny Isles structure will be “unmistakably Bentley,” according to Dezer.

Designed by Sieger Suarez Architects, the 3.6-acre property will feature a gym, pool, spa, theater, restaurant, lounge, bar, cabanas, and gardens.

Construction is set to begin in summer 2022 with completion in 2026.

White House Inn Motel

Notable Real Estate Developers Purchase the White House Inn Property in North Miami

White House Inn Motel
Location for the Related Group's Newest Tower

Teddy Sagi and Jorge Pérez, Miami’s most notable real estate investors, have chosen their second South Florida property to invest in: the White House Inn at the gateway to North Miami. What once was a motel that opened its doors in 1969 later became a dilapidated building that saw many problems throughout the years, which later closed in 2014.

Along with BH Group, Pérez’s Related Group, and Sagi’s LabTech Investments Limited are teaming up to buy the waterfront property located at 2305 Northeast 123rd Street.

The 1-acre property is expected to be redeveloped into a luxury apartment complex that would cost around $85 million. Sagi and Pérez are expected to close on the $11 million sale next week.

The North Miami property was sold by a firm led by Mario Murgado, the owner of Murgado Automotive Group for $7.8 million in 2014. Murgado planned to demolish the White House Inn and replace it with a seven-story Ocean Cadillac dealership with a self-contained parking structure, top-floor showroom, and ground-floor restaurant.

Local residents were outspoken in their opposition to the dealership, fearing that it would bring a flood of traffic to the neighborhood. Later Murgado proposed an 11-story tower, Biscayne Harbour, that was approved by the city council but was never finished.

“One of those rare bayfront sites that’s gone underutilized for far too long,” and that the partnership plans to give North Miami “the entrance it deserves,” according to Pérez.

Not only is Pérez known for his work with the Related Group but he is a big player in the residential market as well. In July, he sold his Coconut Grove mansion for $33 million. Pérez also sold his Apogee Beach penthouse for $6 million.
