Sales and marketing efforts for the project are being handled exclusively by Fortune Development Sales.

“Cipriani Residences Miami was designed to satisfy what luxury buyers are searching for today, and we’re excited to come to market with so much interest already underway,” said Camilo Miguel Jr., CEO and Founder of Mast Capital. “Brickell has anchored itself as one of the country’s most exciting urban destinations and we’ve seen overwhelming demand for an exclusive, highly curated residential experience catering to a more discerning buyer. The migration of wealth and influx of Wall Street and Silicon Valley companies to the area – coupled with heightened expectations for premium lifestyle options — make it clear to us that the market is ready for an ultra-luxury, service-driven condominium project. As buyers increasingly demand more exclusive experiences, we are confident that they will recognize the value of the Cipriani name and our concerted vision to upend all expectations for the area.”

You Only Have One Chance to Make a Perfect Financial Impression: 5 Tips Every Buyer Must Know

The strength of the real estate market is dominating headlines. Recent reports reveal that nearly 400 Manhattan homes priced at $4 million and over went into contract during the first 12 weeks of 2022, breaking the record-high benchmark set just last year. Low inventory, frenzied scheduling, and bidding wars at all price points have become a hallmark of today’s real estate market. 

To help buyers put their best financial foot forward, industry veteran and top producing agent Scott Harris of Brown Harris Stevens offers the following tips:

On your mark, get set, go!

Scott Harris

To ensure that you are ready for action at the onset, have your down payment funds identified, know how long it might take to liquidate, and have your up-to-date financial statements at your fingertips. 

Scott and his team recently represented the seller of a prime listing that a buyer set their sights on. The buyer, however, had money tied up overseas and the timeframe for the government to approve the release of funds was over six weeks. The delay created an opening for another buyer to swoop in and win the deal. 

Don’t wait until the deadline. 

Scott is seeing very competitive bidding situations, and strong buyers are winning.  Your 2021 Federal and State Tax Returns will undoubtedly be required for financing and Board review as applicable – do not wait until April 18 to file. 

The team recently worked with a buyer who just moved from overseas and did not have a 2021 tax return. As a result, the buyer was on the losing end of three 3 bidding wars. The fourth time was a charm, Scott was able to call on a personal relationship with a member of the Board and appeal for special dispensation.  

With proper preparation, the higher bid does not always win. 

Rising interest rates are creating an even greater sense of urgency in an already frenetic market. A successful buyer will have a pre-approval in hand and a mortgage relationship just a phone call away. 

Case in point: Two buyers were vying for the team’s listing Downtown. One buyer had a preapproval, was outbid, and had to obtain a new preapproval. Simultaneously, a second buyer came in with an even higher bid.  Luckily, the first buyer demonstrated their financial qualifications, and the seller decided to stay with them. 

The clearer, the better. 

When communicating your offer, your agent will paint a picture of your financial standing with the seller’s agent. Make sure they have a clear understanding of your compensation package, stock options and bonus structure, as well as portfolio accounts and ancillary sources of income. 

Scott recently worked with a buyer with approximately $20 million in assets. The individual is retired, and income is derived by continually selling-off and buying new investments as part of their real estate investment portfolio. The activity can be confusing, and success is found in Scott’s ability to help the listing agent understand. 

Reputation matters. 

Your broker’s reputation can add or subtract from your bottom line. In a competitive market, you need to work with an agent that has strong relationships and an equally strong reputation within the brokerage community to avoid any overarching feeling of mistrust.

Although every bidding war will not be won, buyers find comfort in understanding why. In a recent competitive situation, Scott’s relationship with the listing agent allowed him to know that his buyer was the third highest offer and still lost by over $100,000! In another situation, his client won the bidding, and this was purely because of his relationship with the listing agent whom he happened to be working on another simultaneous deal with. Through those interactions, she knew that time was not being wasted and that the buyers were as qualified as they were serious about the property.

Industry Veteran Joins Compass Sales Team in the Hamptons

Charles Manger

Last year, Compass was involved in approximately 30.0 percent of all residential real estate transactions at or above $10 million in the Hamptons, totaling  $2.84 billion in transaction volume. Joining Compass in the Hamptons to aid in this substantial presence within the ultra-luxury market is industry veteran and respected local executive Charles Manger. Manger joins Compass following an extensive career in the financial and real estate industries, previously establishing NYC-based Brown Harris Stevens as a brokerage on the East End and serving as a board member for the Hamptons and North Fork Realtors’ Association. 

"We are tremendously proud of how much we have grown in the Tri-State while maintaining our collaborative and agent-first culture," said Gordon Golub, Tri-State Regional Vice President. "Charles is a perfect match for us as a respected leader in the community and will play an integral role in helping our East End agents continue to grow their business." 

"I admire the Compass success story and how they have pushed the industry into a new age of innovation with modern tools and unique programs," said Charles.

In February, the firm released its first ultra-luxury report on the $10 million and over residential real estate market in the Hamptons and across the country, noting 112 sales at $2.1 billion industry-wide on the East End alone, representing a 35.0 percent and a 45.0 percent increase year-over-year.

Why Should A Garage Be a Must-Have in Your Next Home?

When looking for a home, it's important to consider the prospects of the future and any needs that may arise then. Make sure to get a home with all the spaces you may need including a garage. Read on to see a few reasons why it's a must-have in your next home.

It Adds Security

When you have a garage on your property, it will improve the security of your home and property. This is because any items you store in the garage, including your car, will be a lot safer in the garage than they would be out in the street. You may even get lower rates from your insurance company if you indicate that your home has a garage, as this shows that it will be safer to keep your car and there's a lower risk of theft or vandalism. Make sure to have the garage door inspected regularly if you do purchase a home with one. Don't take the risk that 45% of garage owners take when they don't have their garage door inspected since it gets installed.

It Gives Your Home More Square Footage

A garage adds your home's square footage, and this is something that can be used to your advantage when you decide to sell your home. You will not only enjoy having added value to your home, but will be glad to have the additional livable space. Since you can revamp your garage and make it a fully functional room in your house for recreation or something similar, it's a good idea to get a home with a garage. You will save a lot of time and effort in this way as you won't have to construct a garage when you need one for any of a number of uses.

It's Convenient

Having a garage is very convenient as it will keep your car safe from the extremities of harsh weather, ensuring that it's in a comfortable state to use whenever you need it. In the winter, for instance, you won't have to spend time and energy scraping ice off your car every morning before you drive away. During hot seasons, you will also protect your car from the hot sun, which can make it uncomfortable to get into and drive without some advance preparation. With about 733 auto-related accidents in the United States every single hour, it's important to do your best to make sure that you're comfortable when you drive and there are no hidden issues that can impair your ability to drive safely such as decreased vision thanks to a street of ice that you missed while scraping it off.

You Have More Storage Space

With a garage at home, you have extra space to store both outdoor items such as grass trimmers and lawnmowers. Kid's skates and bicycles as well as other bulky toys will also find an easy place to keep inside the garage. This way, you will free up room inside your home and have a better ability to keep it organized at all times. You can also keep hobby items in the garage where they will be safely out of the way when you're not using them. When you do need them, you can retrieve them easily and keep them away once again when you're done. Since it will be open and well-ventilated, you will be able to do activities that need an adequate amount of fresh air as a plus.

With the oil in an RV needing to be changed at almost the same rate as a regular car, which is about every 4,000 to 6,000 miles, variable depending on whether you use synthetic oil, have a high-mileage vehicle, or have an older RV, you can do this comfortably in your garage if you have one. The factors above make it obvious that you should add a garage to your list of priorities for your next home. You will enjoy the convenience it offers and will enjoy a more robust and functional life.

Homes With Insta-worthy Staircases

Briana Gonzalez

We see them everyday- born out of necessity, a means of transport, or perhaps for safety. What was once a thing of elegance, from winding spiral staircases to grand arched double staircases, stairs had quickly become part of the mundane, an after-thought to many. Recently, the evolution of stairs has come around full circle. More and more homeowners are considering the staircase as an integral part of the aesthetic of their home design. Using different materials like metal, wood, and concrete, to match the look of the residence, many are making the staircase a focal point of the home. No longer just for function, these homes include the craftsmanship and creativity of what we are beginning to see in the staircase- working almost like a sculpture.

12 Warren

Tribeca’s most sculptural and avant-garde building to-date, 12 Warren is home to an architecturally driven Townhouse South, an exquisite residence largely defined by a striking sculptural staircase partly finished in board-formed concrete. The eye-catching staircase spans the three levels of the home, weaving a unique design moment that harkens back to the building's bluestone façade throughout the residence. Developed and designed by DDG, the two-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-powder room triplex residence features ceilings up to 22 feet in height, as well as a number of special architectural details including board-formed concrete ceilings, bluestone accents connecting back to the building’s facade, and deep planter boxes with lush greenery.

30 Park Place

Downtown Manhattan's tallest tower, 30 Park Place Four Seasons Private Residences, has been designed by world-renowned architect Robert A.M. Stern and offers 157 ultra-luxury condominiums, including a penthouse selection of 11 half- and full-floor homes, set atop The Four Seasons Hotel New York Downtown. Occupying the first 24 floors of the tower and known for its five-star services, experiences, and amenities, The Four Seasons Hotel New York Downtown features interiors by famed hospitality duo, Yabu Pushelberg. Making a bold modern statement within the pre-war inspired tower, the grand staircase that leads from the lobby to upstairs event space is one of the focal points of the building. Accessible to 30 Park Place residents, owners may use the secret door that is tucked within the condo lobby, allowing ease between the two spaces without ever having to go outside.

56 Leonard

The critically acclaimed 60-story tower conceived by world-renowned Pritzker Prize-winning architects Herzog & de Meuron, has officially unveiled its amenity space this week. The dramatic 17,000-square-foot private amenity space, also designed by Herzog & de Meuron, spans the ninth and tenth floors and is connected by a one-of-a-kind circular concrete staircase. The space includes a 75-foot pool with an adjoining landscaped outdoor sun deck and hot tub; Leonard fitness center with yoga studio, steam room and treatment room; library lounge; indoor/outdoor theater; private dining salon; catering kitchen; conference center; and children’s play area

Selene

Located off Park Avenue in the heart of Midtown East, Selene is the latest New York City landmark from Foster + Partners. Soaring 63 stories into the sky, the building features a collection of 94 bespoke quality residences ranging from perfect pied-à-terre one-bedrooms to sprawling full-floor tower homes. Starting from $1.875M, Selene's luminous residences feature elegantly undulating glass walls, high quality finishes unmatched by any other luxury tower, and iconic day-to-night vistas. The building's duplex residence features an intricately crafted spiral staircase as the centerpiece of the stunning home.
