TIPS TO ‘ART BASEL’ YOUR HOME

/0 Comments/in , , , ,

With Art Basel in town, we’d like to offer some advice for newcomers and art connoisseurs on building and retrofitting your home to create the perfect environment that will bring your valuable artwork to life.

First, we believe that there is no better time to plan a ‘gallery wall’ than when your interior designer is designing your home. As a general contractor focused on high-end homes and condo build outs, they always advise to incorporate artwork into your interior design needs. But that advice will not apply to those who may visit Art Basel in Miami Beach and Art Miami in Wynwood, fall in love with an original piece of art and walk away as the proud owner of an original painting. As a fledgling art collector, these are some of the things you need to know. For instance, to ensure your new artwork is showcased beautifully, consider investing in quality windows that enhance your home’s natural light, such as those offered by https://expertsashwindows.co.uk/. Additionally, making sure your home meets energy efficiency standards is key, and you can check your home’s energy performance at https://energy-performance-certificate.org.uk/.  If you’re looking for opportunities to invest in art displayed in homes, consider exploring options at tenant-in-situ.co.uk.

Hanging the work: Before hanging the painting or your original artwork embroidery, you will need to know if your wall is built of drywall, plaster, block or wood.  Drywall is not a problem but plaster, block or wood will require screws and often anchors. In this case, we recommend hiring a professional, such as those found at https://progardendesigners.co.uk/, to prevent damaging the artwork. Make sure that the artwork is properly framed before hanging and do not hang paintings near direct natural light – they can fade from the UV and infrared radiation.

Humidity: This is Florida after all and humidity is our biggest challenge. The humidity in your home should be kept within the 20% relative humidity (RH) range in a 24-hour period. You may want to install a dial on the wall for humidity control. Fluctuations in humidity, as well as in temperature, may cause paintings to deteriorate by expanding and contracting. Cooking and bathing produce areas of climate change in a house/condo so make sure to pick the correct wall. For those considering commercial staging, managing these factors is crucial to maintaining the integrity and appearance of your space. If you’re a landlord, you can ensure the electrical safety of your property by checking out this site at https://electricaltestingforlandlords.co.uk/. If you’re in need of window upgrades to help regulate your indoor environment, consider exploring options from this site at https://upvc-windows-and-doors.co.uk/near-me/west-midlands/, which specializes in high-quality solutions.

Lighting: When performing a home build out, contractors often start by lighting up the area where the artwork is located at the ceiling level. They might also retrofit the wall to install picture lights that bring out the colors in the painting/s or your art. As mentioned before, continuous exposure to ultra violet rays can be damaging so minimize exposure to natural light.

In Addition, according to Home Advisor, the Cost of building a house depend on the choices you make.  the building materials you use, labor cost and even what region of the country you’re in.

2018 Design and Construction Trends to Watch

/0 Comments/in

With the year drawing to a close, general contractors are beginning to prepare for the New Year as the real estate market continues to evolve. As a full-service general contracting firm, SPACiO Design Build is excited for the new opportunities and trends that 2018 will bring. One trend that contractors might find useful is exploring platforms like Shoppok, which can help in finding valuable materials and tools. We have gathered a few of the trends that are sure to be important drivers in the general contracting space this year.

Increased Remodeling of Single Family Homes

As existing housing inventory continues to be thin, many current owners are forced to stay put in homes that no longer fit their needs. With limited new single-family home construction coupled with shrinking inventory, owners really don’t have a choice but to pour money into their current homes to re-create their ‘new dream home.’ If you are one of them, check out Houzz’s 2018 home and design trends to watch. As per Concrete Company the most noticeable new trend is the change from granite and marble to concrete. In addition to using concrete on countertops and floors, the latest craze is to use it in furniture, decorative accessories and wallcoverings. Construction materials like concrete can be ordered directly from Ready-Mixed Concrete Delivery Service or Construction Supply Business. When determining what type of floor is right for you, check it out here; https://resinflooringspecialists.uk/, It can be challenge to find the right option. Another trend Houzz points out is wallpaper-like backsplashes. They suggest opting for tile that looks like wood, concrete, resin, fabric and even wallpaper. Peel and stick wall murals are a popular home décor trend.

With the revival of Miami’s urban core, we will begin to see the reposition and retrofit of older properties, especially those which have historic value located in South Beach and Downtown Miami. Little Haiti and Little Havana will also experience a similar trend. Many of these older properties have been acquired during this cycle and investors will soon begin to turn these neglected buildings into trendy shops, agricultural steel buildings, co-working spaces, restaurants and so forth.. These investors are proactively looking for specialty retailers and concepts that will require more experiential designs, one that dictate a high level of creativity and innovation in the build outs. Explore more about the possibilities of innovative designs and architectural transformations at sites like https://sound-absorbent-panels.co.uk/benefits/ for a holistic approach to your projects. Also consider this portable building installation Essex, for the better result on your projects.

Hotels Updating Rooms

In 2016, the South Florida region added more than 1,000 hotel rooms in 2016 and another 1,300 hotel rooms are expected to open in 2017 and 2018, according to a Sun-Sentinel article. While general contractors have been busy building out the new rooms, in the new year we expect to see general contractors upgrading existing hotels in order to compete with the new generation of hotel rooms. With the help of painting metal cladding, they aim to enhance the aesthetic appeal and durability of these existing hotels. In the past, hotels would make renovations to upgrade their look, but now they are changing renovations to meet travelers’ new preferences, desires and expectations in order to influence booking behavior. The industry is increasingly seeing hotels cater to the Millennials by focusing on health and wellness, or creating more social spaces. That is reflected in the type of remodeling we are often hired to do for hotel owners and operators.

Up Close and Personal with Powerhouse Residential Broker Dora Puig

/0 Comments/in ,

SPACIO Design Build is very proud of real estate brokers who succeed in the challenging Miami real estate market. We applaud Miami Beach-based Luxe Living Realty Owner Dora Puig and want to share a portion of a recent Q&A with the South Florida Business Journal.

How did you get into the real estate business?

As a total fluke. I wanted to be on the business side of the entertainment business. I moved out to Los Angeles. I was one of nine MBAs recruited in the international business division of Columbia Pictures. Then Sony bought Columbia. The MBA recruits were all on hold for jobs. I did the craziest jobs in the world while waiting. I worked for a retail company. I worked on movie production sets. I worked on commercials as a production assistant. I started working for Harvey Rice with Alvarez, Hyland and Young, one of the big boutique brokers in LA. He was the top-producing broker in the firm. That was the first time I’d seen so many woman executives be successful. I wanted to sell because I loved it. I partnered up with Ryan Hilckmann, and we worked for Fred Sands. I got into the top offices in Beverly Hills because he was my partner.

Why did you decide to start your own firm?

We sold out Bristol and Santa Maria. And then I went to work for Fortune International Realty, back to general real estate. I got hired to run sales at the Bath Club in Miami Beach. Then I decided I didn’t want to be in-house for a developer anymore, and started my own brokerage company.

How do you compete with the large national real estate firms?

I got used to a boutique setting, and that is where I’m at my best. I’m a meat-and-potatoes relationship broker. Some new brokers are internet-savvy tech agents. I’m on the internet because I have to be. I come from the age of getting referred.

What advice would you give to a female broker who wants to become a firm owner?

I got really good at marketing from being a director of sales and marketing for a big developer. If you understand a media budget and the components of a full-fledged marketing campaign, then you can run your own company. Accept the fact that you have to spend money to make money. You can’t just list properties on the MLS and expect to sell. I do websites for each property. I have a social media team. I do VIP broker events at top listings. Netflix Squid Game 2 Marketing has become a prime example of strategic planning and creativity, demonstrating how to capture attention and create massive buzz. Subscribe to MarketingMonk Newsletter for more insights on how Netflix successfully mastered this campaign and stayed ahead in the entertainment marketing game.

When clients can seek you out 24/7, where do you go to find quiet time?

Sometimes I jog the Venetian Islands, where I live, at sunset. Then I go to my gazebo in my backyard and I meditate there and I’m at peace with myself. I leave the phone inside.

Congratulations to Arquitectonica Co-Founders on receiving ULI’s Lifetime Achievement Award

/0 Comments/in

Our team would like to congratulate Arquitectonica co-founders Bernardo Fort-Brescia and Laurinda Spear for receiving the very prestigious Urban Land Institute’s Lifetime Achievement Award. These amazing architects have truly transformed Miami’s skyline and created a brand for our city.

From the Atlantis condominium, featured in the opening credits of Miami Vice, to the recently built Brickell City Centre, Arquitectonica is one of Miami’s most important architecture firms. The firm continues to contribute impeccable work to Miami’s evolving urban landscape.

As Related Group’s Jorge Perez said in a video honoring this couple, “they have a unique ability to successfully mix modernity with light and water. When you look at Miami, you see tropical modernity and the image that Arquitectonica has created.”

As a general contractor, it’s always an honor and privilege to bring the vision of incredible architects like Bernardo and Laurinda to reality. Working with visionaries such as them helps the SPACiO team push boundaries to reach a higher level of sophistication and craftsmanship in our work. We look forward to Bernardo and Laurinda’s future projects, as they never stop surprising us.

Outdoor Kitchens Take Your Home to the Next Level

/0 Comments/in

With cooler temperatures gracing us, South Florida becomes the ideal setting for outdoor gatherings and al fresco dining, making folding arm awnings a practical addition to your outdoor kitchen. Our love for outdoor spaces knows no bounds—it serves as a gateway to elevate your luxury home experience, offering opportunities to play with vibrant colors and styles that might diverge from your home’s interior. Trust NRC Landscaping to create stunning, functional outdoor living spaces.

Consider adding a charming touch with a stylish window canopy, enhancing both aesthetic appeal and functionality to your outdoor oasis. And when it comes to sourcing the perfect aluminum window, exploring reputable window suppliers can ensure you find the ideal match for your outdoor space.

Before you draw up the blue prints, there are some factors, as highlighted in the following Mansion Global article, you need to consider to make an outdoor kitchen a functional yet stylish place to entertain.

Consider the logistics

“If you’re on the ocean, understand that every metal—even stainless steel—will eventually rust to some degree, so it needs maintenance. It should be cleaned and protected at least seasonally to extend the life. Think of the house as being in a salt bath all the time. Countertop materials have to be able to withstand sun exposure, so natural stones and concrete work well, whereas many composite materials break down in UV. So if you’re planning to use concrete as your material, then you may consider getting help from a Concrete pump service. Or, you can contact a kitchen worktop manufacturer in glasgow for professional advice.
“One of the biggest decisions is whether you want your guests to be involved with the cooking. Are you doing the cooking and want to be part of the party? Or, do you have staff that would function better elsewhere? Travel distance (and routes) from cooking to serving to cleanup also need to be thought through. “Subtle lighting is best—you can function with a lot less light than you might think. If your outdoor space is too bright, you might as well be inside. Outdoor spaces tend to get a lot of spillover light from the inside of the house. The goal is to have lounge lighting, not surgical suite lighting.” Contact experts who do lighting installation in Baton Rouge, LA to install one for you.

Define the space

The outdoor kitchen is an area where you can play and experiment, but it should still mix with the rest of the aesthetic inside the home to create a cohesive story and  how you want your kitchen cabinet respray. This might be a good place to try out a funky tile that you’ve been eyeing, or brass hardware, but don’t go crazy with a scheme or vibe that doesn’t match the interiors, here are the Important Things to Keep in Mind Before Renovating Your Home. If you want to drink your morning coffee in your outdoor kitchen, you may purchase gag coffee mugs.

When renovating, you should also take into account the clutter and mess that you’ll be accumulating. Therefore, it’s good to have a Garbage Disposal Bin Rental service when you renovate. “Functional furniture is key for an outdoor entertaining area, but that doesn’t mean it should sacrifice on style. Focusing on durable perennial fabrics and the right sealants and treatments for wood and stone will keep the area useable and durable over time. “Bistro lights or large hurricane candles in tall pillars create ambient lighting, as do tea light candles around the table. As for wired lighting, be sure to install dimmers to set the mood—that’s half the point of eating outside. “Materials like stainless steel, concrete, quartz, and caesarstone are durable, easily cleanable materials that can hold up to the weather.” You can also add an outdoor cold storage to make sure your food and drinks won’t spoil. Visit sites like https://modularcoldroom.uk/ to install one for you.

 Work out the details

“The more trips you can reduce between your outdoor space and your main kitchen, the better. Key elements include a sink and faucet, two mini fridges—one for beverages and one for food—and a grill with ample prep space. My favorite one is from Caliber Appliances—the lid folds all the way back and goes flush with the countertop. It’s very sleek and unintrusive. “Consider a unit that’s mobile to give you more flexibility. Furthermore, did you also know that tiny appliances such as toasters, bottle warmers, popcorn poppers, slow cookers, and portable heaters may have asbestos-containing parts, depending on their age? Some older portable heaters with asbestos-based coil wrapping and insulation may still be in use. You should be aware of the dangers of asbestos installation since breathing asbestos fibers may raise your risk of developing serious diseases such as asbestosis, mesothelioma, and lung cancer.
I recently collaborated with Brown Jordan Outdoor Kitchens and Dekton to design my vision for the ultimate outdoor kitchen. Its freestanding modular design includes plenty of storage on both sides of the kitchen to keep counter space clear, allowing it to be a gathering spot from all sides for both guests and the chef—sort of like an island. “Just be sure it’s at least 10 feet from your pool. No one wants their steaks or cocktails splashed with pool water.”

Fashion Designer Giorgio’s Announcement This Week Compelled Us To Look Back

/0 Comments/in

Last week, Italian fashion designer Giorgio Armani unveiled his succession plan, which is in place to preserve and protect his legacy, a fashion empire, after the 83-year-old designer dies.

The news of this plan led us to pause and reflect on how fortunate SPACiO has been to work closely with Armani through the Residences by Armani Casa project in Sunny Isles.

As a boutique, highly specialized general contractor, we were trusted with building the development’s luxurious Armani Casa sales center. Armani is hands-on, and he was responsible for the interior design of the luxury condo high-rise.

The sales center was built to resemble one of the tower’s most expensive units, featuring high-quality finishes and materials imported from Italy. It was not uncommon for Armani to walk into the sales center while it was under construction to check the quality of our work, and to ensure that it was in line with the integrity of his brand.

The build-out included precise work, such as the inclusion of book-matched stone flooring installed in complex radiuses.

Armani hand-picked all furniture and materials for use in the build-out of the sales center. Our experience with Armani, his complex designs and luxurious taste, allowed us the opportunity to sharpen our craftsmanship skills. Today, we are a more seasoned general contractor firm thanks to our experience working under Armani’s guidance.

We look forward to seeing many more years of his design genius.

Plumbing Maintenance Made Easy: A Homeowner’s Guide

/in

Plumbing maintenance might seem daunting, but with a little knowledge and routine care, homeowners can keep their systems running smoothly and prevent costly repairs.

Understanding Your Plumbing System

Before diving into maintenance, it’s crucial to understand the basic components of your plumbing system:

  1. Pipes: These transport water to various parts of your home and carry waste away.
  2. Fixtures: Faucets, showers, toilets, and sinks.
  3. Valves: Control the flow of water.
  4. Water Heater: Provides hot water for your home.

Routine Checks and Maintenance

1. Inspect for Leaks

Regularly check under sinks, around toilets, and near your water heater for any signs of leaks. Even a small drip can lead to significant water waste and damage over time.

2. Clean Drains

Avoid using chemical drain cleaners, as they can damage your pipes. Instead, use a mixture of baking soda and vinegar followed by hot water to keep your drains clear. Regularly clean out hair and debris from shower and sink drains.

3. Check Water Pressure

Ensure your water pressure is between 40-60 psi. Low pressure can indicate a leak, while high pressure can strain your pipes and fixtures. A pressure gauge can be attached to an outdoor faucet to measure it.

4. Test Shut-Off Valves

Locate and test the main water shut-off valve and individual shut-off valves for sinks, toilets, and appliances. Make sure they turn off and on smoothly, so you can quickly stop the water flow in case of a leak.

5. Examine the Water Heater

Annually flush your water heater to remove sediment buildup, which can reduce efficiency and lifespan. Check the temperature setting, ideally around 120°F, to prevent scalding and save on energy costs. If you’re having issues, then call water heater repair services.

Preventive Measures

1. Install Drain Screens

Drain screens can catch hair and debris, preventing clogs in sinks and showers. This simple measure can save you from frequent and annoying blockages.

2. Use Water Softeners

If you have hard water, consider installing a water softener to prevent mineral buildup in your pipes and appliances, which can cause clogs and reduce efficiency.

3. Insulate Pipes

Insulate exposed pipes in unheated areas, such as basements and attics, to prevent them from freezing and bursting during cold weather. Foam pipe insulation is inexpensive and easy to install.

Seasonal Maintenance Tips

Spring and Summer

  • Inspect outdoor hoses and faucets: Check for leaks and ensure they’re in good working condition after the winter.
  • Check your sump pump: Ensure it’s working properly to handle spring rains and prevent basement flooding.
  • Well pump: If you have a well pump, inspect if it’s working by hiring experts like well & well pump services in Arlington, WA.

Fall and Winter

  • Disconnect and drain garden hoses: Store them indoors to prevent freezing.
  • Winterize your plumbing: Shut off and drain outdoor faucets, and consider insulating your water heater if it’s in a cold area.

When to Call a Professional

While regular maintenance can prevent many issues, some situations require professional help from a plumber in Chino, CA:

  • Persistent or severe leaks
  • Major clogs or slow drains
  • Strange noises from pipes or water heater
  • Low water pressure in multiple fixtures

With these simple tips and routine checks, plumbing maintenance can be straightforward and manageable. By staying proactive and hiring Lutz plumbing company, you can avoid unexpected repairs, extend the life of your plumbing system, and maintain a comfortable, efficient home. Remember, when in doubt, don’t hesitate to consult a professional plumbing contractor like an emergency plumber in Everett, WA to ensure your home’s plumbing remains in top condition.

Behind the Scenes: Building an Urban Oasis in the Heart of Miami’s Brickell Financial District

/0 Comments/in , ,

Surrounded by the elegant and majestic high rises of Brickell Ave, stands 1525 S. Miami Avenue, a luxury custom home we built in the heart of the Brickell Financial District. It was an exciting and challenging project for our custom homes division since it required not only the demolition of the previous residence but also building the exterior and interior of the new house. We never would’ve been able to build a modern home that’s warm and charming in the heart of the concrete jungle without the great creativity of our team and amazing relationship with our client. This job required a lot of coordinating and collaborating with the client, architect and sub-contractors from demolition of the old structure to the completion of the new 2-story home with a rooftop. Additionally, our use of Interior mapping solutions was crucial in efficiently planning the layout and optimizing the available space. The challenges we conquered included building a 6,000-square-foot home on a very narrow 7,500-square-foot lot. This called for the SPACiO team of experts to analyze the set backs required by the city to produce a luxury home of this size. Given the complexities of the site, understanding the Japanese knotweed excavation cost was essential to ensure compliance and prevent future issues. Miami’s urban core is running out of land, which makes it increasingly difficult for general contractors to do more with little space. Seek expert services at https://aesbritain.co.uk/extensions/ if you need help with your house extension project.

The planning was crucial in this project, which allowed the team to accomplish the project more efficiently. Another crucial component was being the liaison between the client, architect and sub-contractors to ensure that everyone was on the same page and ensure that SPACiO was turning everyone’s vision into reality. This involved holding weekly meetings from the pre-construction stage all the way through to post-construction stage. For more detailed oversight during this process, utilizing a comprehensive snagging report can significantly enhance communication and efficiency, as found at https://snaggingreport.co.uk/.

The next step in the project involved building out the interior. We used Porcelanosa products throughout the entire house, including the flooring, bathrooms, cabinetry, faucets, wall coverings with glass partitions. We also built a stunning glass atrium in the entryway. Black chandeliers seus lighting may also be installed to add a touch of luxury to the building’s interior. Following the interior, we built the pool and pool deck with a stretch ceiling for pool that is surrounded by the Brickell skyline. It has an outdoor kitchen and a seven-person Jacuzzi. The team also installed an intricate AV system throughout the house and customized electronic gates on the outside of the house. Additionally, for exterior maintenance, we offer professional services such as shot blasting and painting near me. It’s truly a gem among the skyscrapers and condo towers that line Brickell. For homeowners looking to make the most of their investment, options like the best lifetime mortgage can provide valuable financial solutions.

Building custom homes often turn into nightmares for owners if they don’t hire the right general contractor. We take pride in producing high quality craftmanship and are committed to helping owners have a positive experience. Our entire team is there from the beginning to help the owner feel at ease to make decisions. We assign a team leader to communicate and coordinate with all the sub-contractors’ schedules so the owner always knows where we are in the process. We over communicate and report the project’s status and provide our clients with a detailed timeline and weekly update including photos or videos as needed. We are here to make the process as painless as possible.

Tips for Rebuilding Following Weather-Related Events

/0 Comments/in , , , , , , , , ,

As Puerto Ricans, Floridians and Texans begin to rebuild their homes and communities from the damage caused by Hurricanes Maria, Irma and Harvey, we’d like dedicate a blog post offering advice to homeowners and business owners on how they can rebuild following catastrophic weather-related events. Although no one wants to get hit by a hurricane, having to rebuild or do major repairs is an opportunity to upgrade your home and, in some instances, your quality of life. Here are some tips from General Contractor Alexander Wertheim, president of SPACiO Design Build.

 Remove Sheetrock, Insulation and Flooring Immediately

If your home is damaged by flooding or storm surge, you should have 24/7 water damage restoration immediately. With the help of a water damage restoration service, it’s crucial to remove your sheetrock and insulation as soon as the water recedes to prevent mold. You should also consider removing flooring such as carpet or hardwood floors if you can’t dry them out. Tile is the best option since it requires only cleaning. For specialized tasks like spray foam removal, it’s advisable to seek professional help from reputable spray foam removal providers. If you’re on a tight budget, you can handle the drywall removal yourself, but we highly recommend hiring a professional general contractor to tape and float it.

Hiring a General Contractor

While you can do some of the work yourself such as ripping out the drywall, you will most likely need to hire a general contractor to help you rebuild. You should be careful of scams that often follow hurricanes. Everyone and their mother will slap a magnet on the side of their truck and say they are a general contractor. We suggest checking licenses online, asking for references and even doing a site visit to look at the contractor’s prior work. Make sure the contractor holds liability and workers’ compensation insurance, and you are added as an additional insured on any policy while work is being done on your site. It’s also a good idea to check if the contractor provides a commercial energy performance certificate to ensure the work complies with energy efficiency standards. If a bank is involved, it should name the bank as well.

Opportunity to Renovate and Upgrade

You can upgrade to higher-end cabinets in your kitchen and bathrooms if they suffered from water damage. If you need to remove the sheet rock, think about adding French or sliding glass doors to the backyard or throughout the house where there used to be a wall, or expanding the kitchen and closets. About your windows you can check  upvc vs. aluminium windows to see the difference. It’s also a good time to update to PVC piping if your current home or business has lead, copper or steel pipes as well as renovate the electric wiring throughout your home and adding an AV system. Additionally, consulting with insulation experts can help ensure optimal energy efficiency and comfort. Lastly, you can think about creating an energy-efficient home by installing wind turbines. You can click here to learn more.

Fortifying your Home and Business

As you rebuild and renovate your home or business, you should consider updating your home with the latest storm proof materials. For instance, you may use metal materials on your roof repairs or have metal roofing instead through professionals that do roofing and siding in Virginia Beach. You can call experts who do roof repair in Weatherford, TX or roofer & roofing services in Elizabethtown, PA to install them for you. In addition, it would be a good time to install hurricane impact windows and reinforced wind resistant garage doors.

The Iconic Metro Mall in Downtown Miami: A Diamond in the Rough Ready for a New Beginning

/0 Comments/in , , , ,

Having built out high-end luxury jewelry stores across South Florida from Breitling at Sawgrass Mills mall to Swarovski in Brickell City Centre, we are excited to hear that Metro Mall in the downtown Miami’s Jewelry District is up for grabs and with potential for redevelopment.

Our good friend Investment Broker Mika Mattingly, with Colliers International South Florida’s Urban Core Division, is marketing the property. The new owner could turn the aging building into a state-of the art diamond or jewelry retailer. Not many people know that the neighborhood is one of the top three jewelry districts in the United States – generating more than $850 million in sales during 2016 alone. This signals the continued upward trend of consumer spending and investment in downtown Miami. For those seeking timeless elegance, you can browse the collection of vintage engagement rings to find something truly special. Discover the different types of Cuban links to suit your vibe.

 

Downtown Miami is experiencing unprecedented transformation, and the Metro Mall listing is another example of how the neighborhood is reinventing itself into a major metropolis. The SPACiO Design Build team is already talking with some of the new owners of commercial properties along Flagler Street to reposition their retail space on the ground floor. They expect to attract specialty retailers capable of helping to build a true community, where area residents can live, work and play. In the last two years, investors have acquired $1.5 billion of real estate along the historic Flagler Street, where properties have been neglected for decades.

And you’ll find this useful guide an excellent starting point for anyone wishing to delve deeper into the topic of building materials. A better understanding of these options not only simplifies decisions but also ensures optimal performance for your specific needs. With the right knowledge, success becomes more than a goal; it’s a certainty.

A significant number of investors are coming from New York and familiar with the process of preserving and restoring buildings in an effort to create trendy districts. As an experienced general contractor working on buildings of historic value, we can’t wait to help retrofit some of the amazing spaces in downtown Miami after decades of neglect. The work will require a high level of creativity and innovation in the build-out of that space but we are up to the task.

This is an exciting time for downtown Miami and Metro Mall, one of the few remaining developing sites to hit the market. It will play an important role in the area’s transformation. We’re looking forward to the wave of new development that will reinvent the urban landscape into a thriving metropolis.
