The Avenue Hotel & Residences Breaks Ground
The Avenue Hotel & Residences Coral Gables, an exclusive 8-story Parisian-inspired neo-classical boutique condominium and hotel, has commenced construction. This prestigious development, situated directly opposite Merrick Park, is the brainchild of Oscar Roger, President and CEO of the esteemed Roger Development Group, a family-run entity renowned in the real estate development and management sector.
The groundbreaking ceremony, a significant event in the property's journey, was held on November 1st at the project's sales center at 351 San Lorenzo Avenue. Spearheaded by the formidable father-son duo, Oscar, Sr. and Oscar Roger, Jr., the event was graced by their partners Zarko Cukic, Jose Espantoso, and Veronica Rey, alongside key figures from the design team. This includes Architect Willy Bermello of Bermello Ajamil & Partners, Interior Designer Adriana Hoyos, and Alicia Cervera Lamadrid, a principal figure at Cervera Real Estate. Thornton, the project's general contractor, was also represented.
The event attracted Coral Gables Mayor Vince Lago and over 75 influential members of the local civic and business community. The gathering was a celebration of the project's progress, marked by a toast and the ceremonial first sand toss using branded silver shovels.
Oscar Roger, the driving force behind the project, expressed his enthusiasm for this landmark development, emphasizing its alignment with Coral Gables' world-class standards. Oscar Roger, Jr. highlighted the project's evolution from a concept to a city-defining landmark, praising Cervera Real Estate for their exceptional sales performance, with over 75% of the units already sold.
Cervera Lamadrid of Cervera Real Estate, the exclusive sales and marketing firm for the project, expressed confidence in its success, citing its exceptional design, quality, and prime location opposite Merrick Park as key factors driving demand.
