South Beach's Art Deco Marlin Hotel Getting a Little Expansion

The Marlin Hotel, a mainstay of the grand parade of fancy-free art deco architecture marching up Collins Avenue is moving forward with a renovation after securing $8.4 million in financing for the project. 18 rooms will be added to the 14 room hotel along with a new Asian restaraunt, according to the Real Deal, which does not state where the new square footage will be located on the already tight site. The roof is a possibility, although that does open up historic preservation issues.

Miami residential boom spreads to Broward

The residential construction boom in Miami-Dade County has moved up the coast to such Broward County communities as Hallandale Beach, Hollywood and Fort Lauderdale, which have less cachet but also lower land prices. 

The mayor of Hallandale Beach, Joy F. Cooper, says upscale residential developments have enlivened the city, where the median age of the population has dropped to 47 from 70-plus in 2005.

 “We took the playbook right out of Miami Beach,” Cooper said, citing a “total gentrification of our community.

” Along Broward County’s 24-mile Atlantic coastline, 83 new residential buildings with about 7,900 units have been announced or are under construction, said real estate consultant Peter Zawlewski, who runs the website CraneSpotters.com. 

“People are getting more comfortable with Broward than they were a few years back,” Zawlewski said. Prices per square foot for Broward condominium units frequently are half the price of comparable condos in Miami-Dade County’s coastal cities, including Miami Beach, Bal Harbour and Sunny Isles. 

Jorge Perez, the leading condo developer in South Florida, said the market for condominium buildings on the Broward County coastline is “exploding.”

 Perez is CEO of Miami-based Related Group, which is involved in multiple developments in Broward, among them the 171-unit Auberge Beach Residences and Spa, an oceanfront development in Fort Lauderdale. 

“If that building [Auberge] was in South Beach, it would probably command close to $5,000 a square foot,” said Carlos Rosso, who heads the Related Group condominium division.

 “But because it’s Fort Lauderdale, spectacular luxury units with 20-feet-deep terraces are selling for $1,100 a square foot.” Other Related Group developments in Broward include the 22-story Apogee Beach in Hollywood, where Perez himself bought a unit, and Beachwalk Resort, a 32-story condo-and-hotel tower on the Intracoastal Waterway in Hallandale that opened this year. 

Related also is developing the Hyde Resort and Residences, located near the border between Hallandale and Hollywood, and the recently announced Hyde Beach House on nearby site.

Petit Douy, Brickell Avenue's Little Chateau, is Being Restored

Petit Douy, the little chateau perched on an oolitic limestone outcropping at the corner of Brickell Avenue and SW 15th Road, which for years has silently stood sentinel is alive with construction activity as it begins a new life. Commercial real estate developers Mast Capital are restoring and converting Petit Douy to restaurant and hospitality space, and in the process of leasing out with Michael Comras as broker. Proposed site plans made up by by perhaps Miami's most prominent historic preservation architect, Richard Heisenbottle, in the marketing materials show a layout for a private club and restaurant, and reveal an effort to find just the right tenant for the very special Douy. Built in 1931 as a private house, the design by architect Martin L. Hampton was patterned after the Priory St. Julienne in Douy, France, according to its historical designation report(warning: PDF), which also says, incredibly, that "Petit Douy is Miami's only known French chateau." Yep, it's just that special.

Classic, Restored A. B. Parker House Back on Market for $8.5M

The last time this stunning, canal-fronting historic estate in Coral Gables designed by the seminal Alfred Browning Parker was on Curbed Miami was in 2013, when it was on the market for $12.5 million. Well, patience is a virtue, and two years later the house, unsold, is back on the market with a new $8.496 million price, a whopping $4 million reduction, and new listing photos.

At 9,448 square feet the house is very spacious, on an even more spacious 2 acre lot sandwiched between Granada Boulevard and two branches of the Coral Gables canal. The lot has a whopping 600 feet of water frontage. Back in 2013 Curbed pointed out that the house has a "vaulted two story living room, persiana doors, lots of beautiful wood, a pool, and looks to be in fantastic shape," all of which remains very true.

Readers, why do you think it hasn't sold? Do let us know in the comments.

New Five Star Hotel, Renderings for South Beach's Shore Club

The historic South Beach mainstay, the Shore Club is going full on Brazilian, first with high style Brazilian designer Isay Weinfeld doing a massive overhaul of the property. Renderings show lots of white, white, white, with little, super-minimalist architectural details, and glimpses of wood here and there. Now a five star Brazilian hotel flag, Fasano, is on board and will be making its U.S. debut at the hotel. According to a press release the Shore Club is "joining the likes of The Setai - the only other true five-star on Miami Beach," and will be the Fasano Hotel and Residences at Shore Club. Or the Setai in white?
