THE POWER OF POSSIBILITY
How would you like your life to feel?
Today I want to talk about Branding. No - not branding cattle..... branding.... as in Brand Names. We all know how important Brand Names are........ Pepsi, Coke, Dr. Pepper ...... I could go on and on and on.
Even Real Estate branding has become increasingly popular.... Remax, Coldwell Banker, Prudential, Century 21 to name a few. Don't even get me started with clothing and accessories - YIKES - Nike, Tommy Hilfiger, Rolex, etc, etc, etc.
In Las Vegas, Ivana Trump was developing a condo project. George Clooney is associated with a condo project with his "branded name" attached. Even Giorgio Armani is now involved in the condo, hotel and real estate market. Hotel branding is no different..... The Ritz Carlton, W-Hotels, Trump, etc.
I found an interesting article in one of my favorite Florida Real Estate magazines recently. The article is about Giorgio Armani and his new Real Estate business ventures. If you would like to read it, please reply - I will be happy to send the article to you in a PDF format.
Speaking of branding, I have discovered a world class 5-star resort spa that is coming to South Beach!

Miles of sandy beach on the Atlantic Ocean.
That's me catching a ray of sunshine on site at this project.
Recently, we have seen several developers promote a pre construction project only to have it fall through within 6 months to a year. We do not offer every pre construction opportunity that we find. Before we offer these opportunities to you, we ask questions and research the developer, the sales contact and the location (this is called due diligence).
I found this project to be exciting for several reasons:
- It is on the Ocean – yes, right on the beach, the Atlantic Ocean - 1100 ft of pristine sand beach Construction has already started (we know it's a sure opportunity)
- It is awesome and luxurious and top of the line.
- Residents will have access to a 70,000 square-foot Spa & Fitness Center.
- The Spa will include a Health & Healing Center that will offer preventive medicine and wellness services, massage rooms, saunas, steam rooms, skin care and facial rooms, Therapeutic massage and bodywork, with mud, salt, aromatherapy, seaweed and ayurvedic treatments, full-body cocoons and scrubs and men's and women's locker rooms and relaxation lounges.
- Wellness services will include private consultations or workshops in lifestyle change, transition and stress management, personalized programs for disease prevention, weight loss or smoking cessation, healthy cooking classes and nutrition consultation.
- The fitness facility (with ocean views), will include a weight training area, pilates, yoga and aerobics studios and a variety of cardio equipment.
- Walking and biking paths along the beach
- Common areas for play, sports and relaxation
- Four pools for exercise and recreation
- An ocean-front cafe, serving nutritious gourmet cuisine
- Juice bar
- Full-service beauty salon
- A Boutique
- Full concierge services with 24 hour lobby reception and a doorman greet you and ensure privacy. From the moment you enter the lobby reception, you will be enveloped by a sense of comfort and serenity.
- The cafe will offer the Resorts' celebrated, award-winning and nutritious gourmet cuisine.
- The Resorts' restaurants are legendary for innovation, quality and freshness of all ingredients.

This extension of a well renowned resort (and the only location that's on water), on Miami Beach is being built on the six-acre site of a late 1950s historic Hotel on Miami Beach. Phase 1 is already underway with the hotel is currently being restored and preserved as part of the development. In the hub of Miami Art Deco style in the 50s, the hotel is being restored to its celebrated status to become the heart of this project. It will be home to 150 guest rooms and suites, the oceanfront restaurant, a boutique, fitness, medical and wellness facilities. This lush, modern environment will feature a four-story mangrove sculpture and coral stone wall, merging the stylish essence of Miami Beach with a sense of tranquility. Phase 2 will consist of a 36-story, 207-unit condo tower.

This Resort Living Spa is not the first for this founder/developer.
This is the next step in this Resort Spa evolution. There are sister Resort Spas in the USA - however, this is the ONLY one (for this developer) on the Atlantic Ocean.

The lobby spaces, are inspired by a deep respect for nature, the surf and sea. The touch of native stone beneath your feet, the soothing sound of a tropical waterfall and aromatic scents permeating the air bring the wonders of the sea inside.
It’s fun to imagine the transformation that will occur over the next several months. It's already been an amazing journey, starting with the structural renovations of the historic hotel on Miami Beach.
