BRICKELL CITICENTRE
http://youtu.be/2_7KPNh2kIA
An ultramodern city within a city is about to take shape in the vibrant Brickell financial district neighboring Downtown Miami.
Brickell CitiCentre is a 4.6 million-square-foot development with half a million square feet devoted to retail and entertainment options. To be more precise, you will find there 520,000 sqft of shopping center, 120,000 sqft of office space and 120,000 sqft of wellness center.
Groundbreaking in 2012 will start the process of creating, first, an open-air shopping center with office space, hotel and parking.
More offices and residential space will be created in the second phase of construction. Current plans call for 820-unit condo in two different towers, a 243-room EAST hotel and 93 services apartments.
Hong Kong-based Swire Properties has assumed the project, first scheduled for construction in 2007.
The inventive and prolific Miami design firm Arquitectonica is leading the team in developing the now 9-acre site into one of the most talked about city developments since San Francisco ’s Embarcadaro Center.
Cutting-edge urban design plans call for easy access among the various center structures, often through covered walkways and over pedestrian-friendly bridges. Storefronts and restaurants will line the public avenues.
Extensive plantings with broad walkways will be a hallmark of the expansive greenways. The site, which accesses the Eighth Street Metromover Station, will provide extensive parking on two levels. Neighboring traffic flows are being reconfigured to promote safety and ease.
The expanding Brickell neighborhood encompasses the financial center of the region while remaining in close proximity to the plethora of options for recreation, entertainment and culture that is Miami.
For the excitement of a 21st Century city within a city, plan on Brickell CitiCentre.
The $700 million project is expected to start during the second quarter of 2012.

OCEANA – KEY BISCAYNE
INTRODUCTION
February 2012 marks the start of the groundbreaking ceremony for the newly announced Oceana, developed by no other than Consultatio, and probably the most unique and exclusive real estate building in Miami.
Oceana is being built on the site of the former Sonesta Hotel, which was one of the first hotels in Key Biscayne but is the last site available for construction on the island. This 10.3 acre and last pristine oceanfront site is located on the east side of Key Biscayne facing the Atlantic ocean. The last building in Key Biscayne was built in 1999 which was the last tower at The Ocean Club.
Oceana will have what Key Biscayne is missing, a NEW building which offers the advantage of enjoying large spaces up to 7500 square feet of living space, superb luxury, oceanfront location and the uniqueness of a low density building with a discreet environment. The ultra exclusive 142 condominium development with 12 luxury Villas adjacent will be the only real alternative when looking for new, large oceanfront condos in Key Biscayne.
Key Biscayne is considered one of the most exclusive areas in Miami and has one of the highest incomes per capita in the United States also home to many international artists, politicians, sport figures, and world reknown executives.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION
This will be a state of the art project; floorplans will range from 1750 SF to 7500 SF, with a very low density of residences (Two towers totalling 142 units on a 10.3 acres site).
What makes it even more unique is that due to the lack of land availability, new, and low density buildings on Key Biscayne, many buyers with budgets up to 7 million who initially looked for luxury oceantfront condos found themselves limited at looking for single family homes in the island where prices just on canal front start at 5 million dollars and offer less attractive benefits.
SALES AND TERMS
Oceana Sales started a few months ago with inventory being placed under contract at fast speed. The downpayment required for the purchase of a residence will be 50%. 30% will be asked at contract date and 20% when the construction reaches the 15th floor in 2014. Construction is estimated to be finished by summer of 2015.
Today’s Developers ask for a substantial upfront downpayment, a known concept in foreign countries, which in part plays an important role lowering the risk tremendously for both the developer and the buyers since financing lapses are out of the equation. Although is not clear yet as to what is the exact amount of down payment required, other ultra luxury condos on preconstruction like Apogee condos in North Miami Beach have practically sold out in record time while asking almost 80% upfront.
DEVELOPMENT TEAM
Coastal Construction is constructing the building, designed by reknown architech Bernardo Fort-Brescia with Arquitectonica.
Consultatio is an experienced real estate developer from Argentina, with over 30 years of experience. Consultatio is a leading Argentine company in large scale real estate enterprises in the high purchasing power market for residential and corporate building projects. As a developing company it participates in four different markets: integral urban complexes, coporate building renting, apartment sales and touristic residential developments. On May 30, 2008 the company collected 352 million Ps. (approximately 110 million USD).

The World or World Islands is an artificial archipelago of various small islands constructed in the rough shape of a world map, located 4.0 kilometres (2.5 mi) off the coast of Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
The World islands are composed mainly of sand dredged from Dubai’s shallow coastal waters, and are one of several artificial island developments in Dubai.
The World’s developer is Nakheel Properties, and the project was originally conceived by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the ruler of Dubai.
The project was unveiled in May 2003 by Sheikh Mohammed and dredging began four months later in September 2003.
By January 2008, 60% of the islands were sold, 20 of which were bought in the first four months of 2007.
On 10 January 2008 the final stone on the breakwater was laid, completing development of the archipelago.
