5 REASONS Why Miami Preconstruction Sales are booming

I

By Manny Ingco

t’s no secret that Miami has been flooded reservation stage usually last a couple of weeks, you can reserve and receive your full deposit back with no questions asked if with many preconstruction condo and now the project is not for you.. home options. Just driving around Miami you can see 2. LOW HOLDING COSTS

that construction of new high rise towers and luxury condos is more popular than ever. From downtown Miami to Sunny Isles to Doral it seems that anything that used to have an empty lot now has fancy signs and cranes on the ground. To differentiate this current boom from the previous one it is quite simple. This time around over 90% of the buyers in the Miami market are considered foreign buyers - 65% of the buyers come from Latin America and the remaining from China, Canada & Europe. Most of these buyers pay pure cash or put down substantial down payments on these units.

Often considered the capital of Latin America, Miami has become a mecca for those from South America to purchase real estate and earn a healthy return on their investment.

Some might say this is a bubble, but with most investors paying large cash deposits for pre-construction condos there are less investors willing to walk away. Financing requirements are much more conservative now, eliminating further risk of buyers having to sell. Also banks are much more selective in choosing the developers they work with meaning that only the strongest developers are able to construct new towers in Miami.

For the second year in a row, Christie’s International Real Estate has included Miami on its Top 10 list of global luxury residential markets.

In fact, most buyers are realizing Miami will soon turn into a world class city in a matter of years and will compete with the major cities of the world. In comparison the prices of Miami seem very affordable when compared to New York, California, Bogota or Buenos Aires.

When you use a qualified Realtor to invest in preconstruction, you can narrow the developments that best fit your requirements which will save you time and money.

Here are 5 reasons why now might be the time to invest:

1. NO BIDDING WAR

When your purchase pre-construction in the beginning stages you can first reserve your unit at a set price. This allows you to do your due diligence and make sure the property is for you. Since this

If your looking to time your move and take advantage of current prices then pre-construction is for you. Retirement, college housing, and rental lease ending, are some of the many upcoming reasons why you might not need a new home now but will need one in the future. Most Miami pre-construction projects take 1-2 years to build. This allows you to purchase a new home and not have to pay taxes and maintenance while you wait to move.

3. CUSTOMIZATION

Everybody has unique tastes and visions. Instead of purchasing a home based on another owners needs many pre construction buildings allow you to customize your home how you see fit. Choose your own floorings, backsplash, cabinets, window treatments, and many other home customizations. Looking for luxury finishings package selected by Yabu Pushelberg? Then SLS Lux might be for you or if you wish you can purchase a unit designer ready (no finishings included).

4. NEW TRENDS

The people of Miami have always loved what is newer and better.

When you purchase a new home you take advantage of new trends and demands. Most homes and condos in Miami were built before 2008 and often feature older outdated floorplans and finishings.

Amenities such as large open kitchens, floor to ceiling hurricane resistant windows, large outdoor terraces with glass railings and high ceilings are all features that developers have incorporated based on the latest housing trends. People in Miami always want the newest thing and will pay top dollar to rent or purchase a unit in a tower with high end features..

5. APPRECIATION

One of the best reasons to purchase a preconstruction condo is appreciation. As the market continues to rise, luxury preconstruction condos usually rise the fastest. This is because the buyer assumes slightly more risk in a pre-construction purchase, many times those who take the risk earned the most reward.

First made famous by Pope Boniface VIII in the 14th century and later by Michelangelo. Acqua Di Fiuggi has been contributing to the well being of Italians and citizens of the world for over 700 years. Sourced in the Ernici mountain range just outside of Rome, Fiuggi has historically been the water of choice among Europe’s royal families for its health benefits and it’s smooth natural taste. Acqua di Fiuggi is naturally filtered by flowing through the ancient volcanic rock deposits below the Terme di Fiuggi, purifying the water and forming it’s unique mineral makeup. Fiuggi is available in both still and sparkling forms.

K FROST ART Museum at FIU

nown for its Latin American and 20th-century American art, FIU’s Frost Art Museum museum is housed in a striking building designed by Yann Weymouth of HOK, the prestigious architectural firm. An airy, three-story atrium leads to nine different galleries, exploring work from artists all over the world. The exhibitions are constantly changing allowing visitors to frequently visit and see something new each time. Adjacent to the main building is the museum’s Sculpture Park, where works include major pieces by Anthony Caro, Arnie Zimmerman, Steve Tobin and John Henry; it’s recognized as one of the country’s most important and largest outdoor sculpture collections.

The Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum opened in 1977.

The museum gained a respected reputation for its innovative exhibitions, outstanding lecture series and educational outreach programs for South Florida’s diverse audiences. Through generous support from private donations as well as state and local government agencies, the Frost Art Museum is able to offer free admission to all exhibitions and public events. With the transition to the new 46,000 sq. ft. museum facility in 2008, the Frost Art Museum’s innovative exhibitions and broad range of educational programs are unparalleled in their quality and the diversity of audiences they serve.

Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, he is renowned as one of Miami’s most esteemed plastic surgeons. After graduating from the University of Miami, Dr. Hanabergh received his medical degree from Ponce School of Medicine in Puerto Rico and completed his residency at Miami Beach’s Mount Sinai Medical Center, in addition to a residency in plastic surgery at Cleveland Clinic in Weston.

Rejuvenation through Innovative Technologies At Prana Health, clients are invited to explore a variety of treatments to suit their needs. One such procedure is LORENFILLTM, developed

by Prana’s own Dr. Eduardo Lorenzo. A graduate of Miami University Miller School of Medicine, Dr. Lorenzo’s experience spans across an impressive array of cases, from anesthesiology for vascular surgeries to varied trauma and burn patients. Among these merits is a diploma in Aesthetic Medicine, the foundation for his unique procedure.

Described as the first Autologous Bio-Dermal Filler in the country, LORENFILLTM is the latest in non-surgical, physician-administered treatments for facial wrinkles such as nasolabial folds. It employs the transformation of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) into gel-consistency filler. In layman’s terms, it is a natural, biological process that avoids synthetic fillers to treat skin defects and add volume, producing a more youthful, rested appearance. The treatment can be applied on areas from the forehead to the chest, and it is a same-day procedure that lasts only one to two hours.

Rough Night or Feeling Down?

Prana Health’s innovation extends to the most practical treatments, including Intravenous Therapy and Weight Loss Programs. IV Therapy is currently the center’s most popular service, due to its incredible efficiency and immediacy.

Patients receive vital nutrients through an IV, ensuring immediate retention of the benefits. The procedure takes about an hour and offers attractive options such as Vital Fluid for those incurable hangovers and Super Shield, which boosts immunity. By mid-morning, last night’s damage is easily remedied.

Achieving Your Best Health, Together For more long-term results, Prana Health partners with its clients to develop specific Weight Loss programs. Under the care of Dr. Lorenzo, patients receive a regimen tailored to their unique profile and goals. In contrast to many weight loss systems, Prana considers medical causes of weight gain, such as hormone imbalances, toxicity, nutritional deficiency, and undiagnosed disease. These medically oriented programs begin with a free consultation and continue with frequent practitioner appointments, lifestyle education with nutritional counseling, advanced testing, and if necessary, weight loss shots, hormones, or other medical supplements prescribed by Dr. Lorenzo. In short, Prana Health offers a holistic approach to weight loss that ensures the success of its clients.

20 Years Educating Children

Kids’Corner Child Development Center Making a Difference in Education through Families, Enrichment Classes and Higher Academics By y Angela Baxter & Claudia Trilles

K

ids’ Corner will be celebrating, this month, their 20th year of educating children and families in the field of early childhood.

This nationally accredited (NAEYC) school has adopted many different techniques and developed a system in which allows most of their VPK children to graduate with the educational skills of a kindergartener getting ready for 1st grade and the Kindergarteners that are ready for 2nd grade.

How is this possible? During the youngest of years, our philosophy is that children can absorb and learn to do anything, if you challenge them appropriately and involve their family. A young two year old can learn to draw, a three year old can learn to read, and a four year old can learn to work on a computer. All of this can be done by exposing the children to excellent standards, higher level of critical thinking and challenging academics. We do this thru play, enrichment activities and family involvement.

Families are the key in the development of their child. We have seen that children, with families that are involved within the school, are better adapted and have higher scores on developmental testing. We provide many opportunities for parents to participate in our Parent Advisory Committee (PAC), volunteer reading program, parenting workshops and family events.

Children have the opportunity to learn about the many family cultures in our school during the month of October by choosing a country to learn about.

We include traditional songs, dances and foods. Parents are encouraged to bring in items from their culture and to tell stories about the country that they or their family grew up in. Parents are also asked to come in to discuss and involve the students in their career choices. We have invited office professionals, artist, meteorologist, fire fighters, veterinarians, doctors, constructions workers, etc....to share their experiences with our children.

In the 3’s they learn how to use the keyboard, mouse, classroom Smart boards and I-PAD’s. By the time they reach kindergarten they are ready to operate a complete computer system or I-PAD on their own.

{

How are arts, languages and sports important to the early childhood education? By exposing children to art, music, martial arts,

dance, gymnastics and multiple languages we promote higher levels of thinking. Children can learn to write while drawing a picture or learn science by mixing colors during art class. Our kindergarteners can learn math and multitasking while counting the beats of a musical note, playing the piano and reading the sheet music at the same time. Our younger children are exposed to early geometry and anatomy skills while learning the angles, positions and movement of their body and muscles during martial arts, gymnastics and dance. By exposing children to multiple languages we are allowing them to advance their cognitive thinking skills. It is scientifically proven that bilingual children have better planning and problem solving skills because they challenge their mental focus skills.

How do you teach higher academics in the modern technological society? Technology is all around us. We see students

entering the school with their parent’s phone or tablet in hand. You use it everywhere you travel. The children at Kids’ Corner are exposed to technology as young as 1 and 2 years old. They work with the teacher on simple cause and effect PC software programs and APP’s on the I-PAD.

“A young two year old can learn to draw, a three year old can learn to read, and a four year old can learn to work on a computer.”

Technology is used every day by the students and teachers. Programs and APP’s include reading, science, math and social studies. Using these programs helped the children to improve their academic skills and increase their focus and interest in the subject to be learned. Technology is the future of all mankind and the children of today will need to know how to use it.

At Kids’ Corner we’re advancing our students into a bright and successful future. Our key to success has been to involve the families, provide enriching activities for the arts, sports and bilingualism, technology and advanced critical thinking academics.

Marcos Carrasquillo embajador de la marca L’Oreal Paris y presidente y director creativo de Qiu Salon, nos resuelve cinco de las dudas más frecuentes que las mujeres tenemos sobre el lavado del cabello.

1. ¿Con qué frecuencia me debo lavar el cabello?

M.C.: Lavarse el cabello todos los días no perjudica la salud del mismo; sin embargo, todo depende del tipo de cabello que uno tenga: seco, normal, mixto o graso, e identificar bien los productos que utilizamos para realizar el lavado diario. Los cabellos mixtos o grasos necesitan ser lavados con mayor frecuencia, por lo general las chicas de cabello graso se lo lavan todos los días y deben tener cuidado con eso, pues le puede crear más grasa al cabello. En cambio, los cabellos normales es ideal lavarlos un día de por medio. Los cabellos secos deben ser lavados cada 2 o 3 días, así el sebo capilar puede crear un aceite natural producido por el organismo para mantener el cabello hidratado.

2. ¿Cuánta cantidad de champú debo usar por lavado?

M.C.: Con utilizar una porción del tamaño de una moneda (0.25c) en la palma de tu mano es más que suficiente y lo puedes repetir en un segundo lavado, todo dependiendo de la cantidad y grosor de tu cabello.

3. ¿Caduca un champú?

M.C.: Estos productos son creados para el uso masivo y diario. Aunque contienen sustancias químicas de larga duración, algunos productos incluyen la fecha de caducidad, pero la mayoría no. Los fabricantes aseguran que los productos deben durar entre 2 y 3 años. Yo recomiendo que los cambies cada 6 meses si no los utilizas frecuentemente. Si el uso es diario, estos productos están diseñados para una duración de 45 a 80 lavadas por empaque. También ten en cuenta dónde y cómo lo guardas, ya que la luz y el exceso de frío/calor pueden dañar la mayoría de los productos.

4.¿Qué le pasa a mi pelo si cambio de champú?

M.C.: Es súper importante identificar por qué lo estás cambiando, si es porque ya no estás obteniendo el resultado deseado, por un cambio de color o por la aplicación de un nuevo producto químico en tu cabello. Siempre que cambies el champú vas a obtener resultados diferentes, algunos a tu favor y otros en contra. Lo que sí te recomiendo es que no lo cambies solo por gusto o porque sea más barato. Siempre que cambies de champú, analiza los beneficios que puedes obtener y que la especificación sea para tu tipo de cabello.

5. ¿Qué cabellos necesitan acondicionador?

M.C.: Todos necesitan acondicionador para mantener el cabello hidratado.

En el caso del cabello fino no recomiendo la aplicación en el momento en que vas a una fiesta, esto con el fin de conseguir mayor duración en el peinado. En los casos del cabello mixto, grasos en el cuero cabelludo y seco en las puntas, siempre recomiendo colocarlo en las puntas para mantener el cabello hidratado.
