REGALIA “LIMITED EDITION LIVING” An architectural “Magnum Opus” inspired by waves and wind, Regalia defines the skyline of Miami’s Sunny Isles Beach as the preeminent oceanfront condominium tower, offering only 37 full-floor residences, as well as two, new multi-level masterpiece units.

Situated at the northern-most tip of Sunny Isles, Regalia directly abuts Golden Beach’s estates. Completed in 2014, it has enjoyed tremendous success and is currently showcasing its premier, remaining residences.

Exemplifying the “Limited Editing Living” credo, the high rise is now introducing its most exquisite offerings through its “Beach House” and Penthouse ─ two of the most exclusive condominiums available in Miami.

Rose Marie Minio REGIONAL SALES DIRECTOR

cell: 786.489.6644 RMinio@OneSothebysRealty.com

These homes are elegantly-designed and fully-furnished

by CAD International Design Director Charles Allem, named five times to Architectural Digest’s “AD100” list of the world’s elite designers and architects.

“We saved the finest residences for last, which is a testament to the developer’s dedication to providing superb craftsmanship and the highest quality of living,” said Rose Marie Minio of ONE Sotheby’s International Realty, the exclusive sales representative for the developer units, as well as various full-floor re-sales within the tower.

The “Beach House” earns its name from a hybrid design that fuses the beachfront grandeur of neighboring mansions with the amenities and white-glove service of a condo penthouse. The 17,015-square-foot unit encompasses Regalia’s lower levels – the third and fourth floors – establishing an ambience much like a home directly on the ocean.

Regalia’s Penthouse is the crown-jewel of the high-rise.

Soaring 46 stories amid 16,805 square feet of billionaire’s bliss, it is the most exquisite Miami residence, with stunning vistas spanning 25 miles. The three-floor unit features six bedrooms, six full bathrooms, two half-baths, a pool bath, and a 2,000-square-foot master wing with a his-and-her bathroom and full private spa.

All residences enjoy wrap-around terraces with 360-degree views of the Atlantic Ocean, Golden Beach, Intracoastal Waterway, and striking city skyline.

Q+A -

represented seller

with Ben Westby of ONE | Sotheby’s International Realty c u r r e n t ly l i s t e d

Can you give us a little bit of background regarding your career prior to entering real estate?

I entered the real estate world after spending over 11 years working as the Director of Rehabilitation / Assistant Athletic Trainer for the Miami Dolphins. I worked hand-in-hand with world-class professional athletes and physicians from around the world. I was responsible for coordinating and implementing all of the rehabilitation programs for injured Miami Dolphin athletes as well as providing rehab consultation to celebrities and athletes from many other professional sports.

represented buyer

Are there unusual parameters involved when working with clients having such a high level of popularity?

Confidentiality is first and foremost, I always honor that with all of my clients. They also have very hectic schedules so I try to minimize their time commitment by making sure all of the little details are taken care of whether it be buying or selling a home. For example, when I list a property I coordinate any repairs and updates the home may need prior to putting it on the market.

“...Trust.

I believe that my clients keep coming back to me because they trust me.”

What caused you to pursue your career in real estate? I am originally from the Midwest, from a successful family real estate business. My father is a real estate agent and auctioneer and my mother is a real estate broker. They started their own company back in 1985 so I grew up being around real estate and developed an interest at a young age.

Who are some of the notable homebuyers and sellers you’ve worked with recently?

Jason Taylor, Tim Bowens, Patrick Surtain

To what do you attribute your ability to preserve your client relationships and maintain repeat business?

Good communication and attention to detail are two important skills that lead to trust. I believe that my clients keep coming back to me because they trust me and what I can do for them. I am very committed to each client and making their transaction as seamless as possible. I believe that puts me at an advantage.

ALEXANDER GOLDSTEIN

& Golden Beach

THE ONLY PRIVATE NEIGHBORHOOD OFFERING OCEANFRONT HOMES IN MIAMI

an interview with Alexander Goldstein What do you attribute to your tremendous levels of success, both personally, and for your brokerage, Miles Goldstein Real Estate?

I created Miles Goldstein Real Estate, a boutique luxury real estate brokerage, founded upon professionalism, discretion, and precision. Each sales associate involved has been hand picked, and trained in order to provide the optimum experience in the real estate transaction. I believe there is no substitute for hard work, unrivaled knowledge, and good business practices. We are extremely detail oriented, and look to surpass expectations of our clients. I am fortunate to represent some of the most incredible, best built homes in the area, along with a tremendous portfolio of off market property, particularly within Golden Beach upon the ocean.

This is allows me to sell properties at a premium, and discretely. We work hard, honest, and respectful, and believe traits like that are the reason for our success.

How have you overcome the typical challenges associated with scaling your services so quickly?

We place a tremendous amount of emphasis on service, and knowledge within our brokerage, which is endlessly beneficial to our clients. Consumers in the community have taken notice of our work ethic, and abilities to piece complicated, high end deals together.

Whether it be due to listing price or unique circumstances, what would you consider your most significant sale so far this year?

My most significant sale this year would have to be one I closed this past week, for $10,000,000. This was

28

HAVEN / LUXURY HOMES + LIFESTYLES

a land sale, and incredibly unique as it was one of the highest priced sales on the ocean in Golden Beach for solely sand. The property had been formerly owned

by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and this had been a highly sought after parcel of land. The sale took place privately, off the market, as most significant sales within Golden Beach do.

It seems you deal in the celebrity world of Real Estate quite often- can you elaborate?

We are fortunate to work in a market where there has been a strong interest by celebrity clientele, both in the past, and more then ever today. I have had the opportunity to sell the home of Maurice Gibb of the Bee Gees on the water in Golden Beach, Sammy Sosa’s oceanfront home in Golden Beach, former President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s oceanfront land in Golden Beach, as well as representing hit singer Jason Derulo, and the lead singer of Creed Scott Stapp.

What separates Golden Beach in desirability relative to other oceanfront communities in South Florida?

Golden Beach offers some of the most luxurious property in the world. Golden Beach is the ONLY private neighborhood offering oceanfront homes in Miami. What else is there to talk about? Golden

Beach also offers some of the most beautiful waterfront homes in Miami, which is a boaters’ paradise. There are 66 plots of land directly on the ocean within this private community, and this is the only place to get it. Prices range from $5,000,000, to above $100,000,000, and honestly, it does not get any better. There is quite a bit of competition in the waterfront home world in Miami, as there are hundreds, if not thousands of waterfront homes.

Oceanfront homes on the other hand in Miami, this is it-Welcome to Golden Beach.

What are your thoughts regarding the outlook of Golden Beach over the next 10 years? (for example, increase in demand, supply, lifestyle changes, buyer profiles, etc.)

Golden Beach has been quietly offering some of the best properties in the world, but this secret, isn’t such a secret anymore. The majority of homes upon the ocean are built more then 20 years ago- the majority being valued at above 8 figures. I believe we will see Golden Beach offering some of the most valuable, most expensive properties in The United States in the future.

Enjoy this luxury boutique style building with just 18 units, located in the heart of Coconut Grove, minutes away from Miami’s most famous locations.

Smart condo with “control 4” system etc.

Rented at $20,000 per month.

What were the key selling points of the unit that enabled you to achieve such a significant rental price?

This a very unique unit with 2 floors ocean front and with amazing views to Key Biscayne and SOBE, the unit is located in a Boutique Building with just 18 units and magnificent service for its residents.

Is the rental price for this unit consistent with trends happening in the area?

No, it is not consistent in the area, (fortunately for my company and me), this is definitely the most expensive rental in Miami and Coconut Grove area this year and it was rented for a full year completely unfurnished. My company is an international Real Estate Company that spends thousands of dollars in advertisement, targeting exclusive clients in Latin America, the Middle East and Europe. Clients that look for luxury properties like this to live and enjoy our beautiful City.

According to the MLS: Unit 4302 at the Santa Maria Building was rented completely furnished on February for $19,000.

PH 6307 at 900 Biscayne was rented for 3 months on May for $18,000 ( Completely furnished) Can you provide any details regarding the renter or owner for the unit?

The owner is a Venezuelan-Italian background business man and the renter is from New York, but I am not authorized to give more details.)

Foreign Property Investment in the United States

{

AND THE EB-5 IMMIGRANT INVESTOR PROGRAM

{

One increasingly popular form of foreign investment that has shown dramatic increase in economic impact is the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program.

Traditional ‘safe-havens’ such as South Florida, Washington, D.C, New York City and Los Angeles continue to be of high interest amongst foreign investors. Similar to how century-old blue chip stocks like Coca-Cola, General Mills and Caterpillar continue to attract investors year after year as safe and profitable assets; cities like Washington, DC consistently remain front of mind for internationals as sound, blue chip real estate investments. The DC metropolitan area has been a longtime favorite for investors due to the economic stability provided by its close association with the federal government. Even as more interest picks up in other major cities like San Francisco and Houston and even into secondary markets which used to sit off the radar, the influx of capital in traditional investment cities is projected to remain strong.

Foreign investment in U.S. real estate continues to grow and at rapid pace. Chinese and South American investment has increased as investors from the regions continue to recognize greater valuation plays in the U.S. than in previously popular markets where prices have soared such as Shanghai, Hong Kong and Singapore. Many brokers say international buyers are also investing abroad to own property near top-colleges, as studies show more than 80 percent of wealthy Chinese want to send their children to school overseas. Investors from India spent $3.5 billion on U.S. real estate investments in 2013. Russian investors continue to seek safety in U.S real estate investment even with a sharp downturn in their economy and tensions over Ukraine on the rise – many have shifted to gobbling up condos in the low million-dollar range designed as low-key investments to generate rental income and reduce risk from the uncertainty in the Russian economy. These are just a few examples of regions from where billions of dollars continue to flow into U.S. real estate – a trend which is expected to grow.

One increasingly popular form of foreign investment that has shown dramatic increase in economic impact is the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program. The EB-5 program enables qualified foreign investors who invest $1 million (or at least $500 thousand in a “Targeted Employment Area”) to obtain a U.S. Visa. This provides a unique opportunity for foreigners to immigrate to the

MILLION IN FEDERAL & STATE TAX REVENUE U.S. while they in return provide stimulus to the U.S. economy through job creation and capital investment. The $1.8 billion invested by EB-5 Regional Center investors contributed $2.5 billion to U.S in 2012. GDP and all EB-5 related spending combined contributed $3.58 billion and supported over 41,000 jobs during fiscal year 2013 according to a publication by bipartisanpolicy.org. This was more than a two-fold increase from 2011.

NEW FRAGRANCE BY diptyque paris

Design Inspiration The candle is inspired by Miami’s strong architectural/decorative elements both in the diptyque boutique and from the city. The candle is like a sun bath in Miami. The graphic pattern expressing the banana tree lead and evoking the small umbrella from the sky, which also can be interpreted like lemon or a small sun too.

This design is also in line with the boutiques décor – the green represents the green of the banana tree leafs wallpaper.

Scent Inspiration A floral solar accord, an evocation of the delicate scent of flowers of magnolia. The magnolia is a tree from Asia and North America and very present in Florida. Its flowers have a delicate sweet scent with strong vanilla and lemon notes, like an echo to the famous key lime pie.

Olfactive candle accords: Lemon, lime Jasmine, absolute Egypt Coco jungle essence, vanilla
