When NYSE-traded Vector Group, Ltd. called on MV Group to renovate its Miami headquarters, they responded by transforming the company’s 15,000-square-foot office into a multi-million-dollar corporate showpiece. Completely rebuilt from floor to ceiling, the interior build-out of the 10th-floor suite included custom furniture, millwork and the construction of all interior and architectural details. “We completed on time, on budget and we are currently working together on other projects,” Varas says. Located in downtown Miami’s Ivax building, which is owned by Florida billionaire and pharmaceutical mogul Dr. Phillip Frost, Vector Group, Ltd. is renowned in the tobacco industry for producing Ligget brand cigarettes, and is also involved in real estate through New Valley, which owns Douglas Elliman Realty, the largest residential real estate brokerage firm in New York City.

All That Glitters Is Gold…
Cocoplum ESTATE
Especially if you’re the owners of this $5 million bayfront home on Golden Isles. A vacation estate for a family from Mexico, this sprawling mansion required a total redo from floor to ceiling, including a 3,000-square-foot, second-floor addition, bringing the home’s total square footage to over 10,000. MV Group did it all! Beginning with a raw shell, we designed and built an entirely new interior, added impact windows, doors, coffered ceilings, a new driveway, marble flooring and baths, custom closets, extensive millwork, bar areas, a new infinity pool, landscaping and garden design. Highlights of this extraordinary project include a custom wine cellar, wood-paneled cigar lounge, and a marble-slab stairway with treads that automatically illuminate with every step. Transitional-style furniture and complementing art are set to finish this cutting-edge design. Once complete, the home’s estimated worth will be $10 million.
Well under way, the interior reconstruction of this $3 million, 5,500-square-foot home in Cocoplum already has the makings of a Mediterranean masterpiece. Amid its 25-foot-ceilings, MV’s Group’s extensive custom design work takes center stage – everything from the flooring, kitchen, custom lighting and architectural millwork, to detailed stonework and a custom bar. Keystone columns, marble stairways and sculptural details enhance the home’s Mediterranean flair. 5 Bedroom / 7 Bath 5500 Square Feet

Only MV Group could take an $8 million bayfront mansion on North Bay Road and up its value to $15 million. And the owner, a global entertainment mogul, couldn’t be more pleased with the results. A 5,000-square-foot addition to the home’s existing 7,000 foundation brings it to a whopping 12,000 square feet. From foundation to roof, MV Group did the architecture, interior design and is currently under construction for a nearly 5,000 square-foot ground-up addition project. A 15-person home movie theater, a bayfront guesthouse, air-conditioned garages for collector cars and a glass wine cellar top the list of standout features.
