There’s No More Waiting
Regatta on Its Way Up Along Indian Creek Cruising up the beach along Indian Creek, just past 63rd Street, it is hard to miss the impressive Regatta site on the water’s edge next to the Shane Watersports Center, the well-known landmark for the rowing enthusiast. Halfway between South Beach and Bal Harbour, the ocean just two blocks from the waterway, there is little doubt as to the reason this area is being rapidly transformed by an array of sophisticated, progressive developments. The Regatta is well under way and is estimated to be completed by April. Already evident is the signature curvilinear contemporary design conceived by G @ D Developers and architects Lier and Tonconogy, with only 52 upscale luxury studio, two bedroom, three bedroom and spacious PH residences with private rooftop terraces. The Regatta’s few remaining units offer beautiful views, investor prices, and if you are a boating enthusiast, the hard to come by opportunity to purchase a boat slip in Regatta’s private marina. A stones throw from the beach, relaxing waters edge pool, panoramic views of the sparkling Miami skyline and bay, and the tranquility of the canal with rowers gliding by, the Regatta lifestyle makes you forget you live in a bustling urban area.

The event, sponsored by the Terra Group, will take place at 7 p.m. today, February 2 at The Wolfsonian-FIU, 1001 Washington Ave., Miami Beach. A gallery tour at 6 p.m. precedes the symposium. Call 305-531-1001.

Marquis Construction Begins Construction has officially begun on Leviev Boymelgreen’s Marquis, a 67-story luxury condominium and boutique hotel at 1100 Biscayne Boulevard in downtown Miami. KM-Plaza Construction, which has offices in Miami and New York, is the general contractor. The Howard Johnson that stood on the site was imploded last year and the site has been cleared, making way for the first phase of construction on the new building. According to Alex Smith, Construction Manager for the project, caissons are currently being installed. During this process, which is expected to take 15 weeks, 6,400 cubic yards of concrete will be poured to fortify the foundation. Pile work will follow and the structure should be going vertical in mid June. Designed by the acclaimed architecture firm Arquitectonica, Marquis will feature 306 luxury residences, a 56-suite hotel and a world-class spa that will span 10,000 square feet on two levels. Five-star services, Smart building technology and a view-commanding sky pool deck with a sunrise lap pool and lagoon-style sunset pool are among the offerings that promise to make Marquis the most exclusive address in downtown. One-bedroom plus den, two, three, and four-bedroom units and poolside sky townhomes range in size from 1,500 to 7,000 square feet and are priced from the $900,000s to over $11 million. Each will be outfitted with gourmet kitchens featuring all Viking appliances, spacious master baths with Duravit and KWC fixtures, eight-foot deep private balconies and 10-foot ceilings. Douglas Elliman Florida (DEF) is the exclusive sales and marketing agent for Leviev Boymelgreen’s South Florida projects.

Taking after the world-class Gansevoort Hotels in New York City and Los Angeles, Paradiso’s blue glass façade and 17 stories of spectacular ocean views promise to exceed the demands of today’s jet-set society. At home, spacious and lavishly appointed living quarters reward those who have worked so hard to achieve this lifestyle.
