Blue Lagoon Community Gets Much-Needed Rental Development Soleste and A New Name

February 25, 2020

The Estate Companies, a leading developer of luxury multi-family projects throughout South Florida, has secured its certificate of occupancy (CO) for Soleste Blue Lagoon, a luxury, eight-story development with 330 rental units located at 5375 NW 7th Street in Miami.

The project broke ground in 2017 and move-ins began in October. Because Soleste Blue Lagoon is the only Class A market-rate project in the Blue Lagoon community, home to over 100 multinational companies, it quickly achieved 65 percent lease-up. The Blue Lagoon office community also recently announced a $10 million makeover and name change. The 250-acre office park will rebrand itself as the Waterford Business District, in order to remain competitive with Miami’s growing office market.

Tenants can select from a variety of studios, one, two and three-bedroom units outfitted with sleek, modern kitchens with custom cabinets, quartz countertops and designer lighting, dual master suites, spacious walk-in closets and private balconies overlooking Blue Lagoon Lake. Pricing starts in the $1,500’s for studios, $2,100’s for two-bedrooms, and $2,600’s for three-bedrooms.

“We are proud to deliver this transformative development to the Blue Lagoon area,” stated Robert Suris, managing principal, The Estate Companies. “Our firm is committed to developing beautiful and highly-amenitized communities at a competitive price point. This winning combination makes Soleste Blue Lagoon an attractive and dynamic option for high-quality, professional tenants.”

Like all projects within the Soleste Living brand portfolio, Soleste Blue Lagoon is curated with a vast collection of health and wellness offerings and social components, including a lakeside pool with spa, sundeck and private cabanas, co-ed spa with steam room and sauna, aerial yoga studio, state-of-the-art health and fitness club, spinning room with digital fitness instruction, rooftop garden with life-size chess, hammock and yoga lawn, and an electric car charging station.

This milestone comes on the heels of the firm’s grand opening of Soleste Twenty2, a 338-unit rental community, which is also experiencing high velocities at the current price points.

The Estate Companies is on track to deliver an additional 519 units this year with Soleste Alameda and Soleste Bay Village and has an additional 2,196 units in its pipeline slated for delivery early next year. Notable upcoming projects include Soleste Bay Village, Soleste Grand Central and Soleste Spring Gardens, among others. Its project portfolio features a mix of garden-style, mid-rise and high-rise rental developments in Dade and Broward counties.

PEOPLE TO WATCH: Meet Our Panelist Ryan Shear, Managing Partner of PMG

February 10, 2020

Join us on March 5th at X Miami for People to Watch: Leaders in South Florida Real Estate, where Ryan Shear will be discussing how PMG stays innovative with creative housing solutions, how declining ownership is affecting the multifamily market and how he plans to build projects that will withstand the tests of time.

The developer currently has more than 5,000 units in the pipeline, including their largest multi-family project to date with over 900 beds. In December, PMG announced their latest concept, Society, the natural evolution of X Social Communities, as a response to the insatiable demand for attainably-priced, downtown rental communities. The new brand will debut with downtown mega-projects Society Las Olas (formerly X Las Olas) in Fort Lauderdale, Society Biscayne (formerly 400 Biscayne Boulevard) and Society Wynwood in Miami. 

Society is aimed at a broader demographic, unlike X, which is geared towards millennial. Only about 30% of Society buildings will be dedicated to co-living options, as opposed to 35% - 40% in X buildings.

Co-living has been an enticing model for residents, investors and developers alike, as urban cores continue to become saturated and the demand for housing skyrockets. Following the success of X Miami, the fastest building in Downtown Miami to lease up, PMG took lessons they learned from X Social Communities and augmented them. Society will focus more on community inclusivity and expanding their finish and furnish options, while also adding to the immersive and experiential aspects of the building.

As a managing partner of PMG, Shear is responsible for general company operations, vision and growth. For nearly 15 years, Shear has played an instrumental role in the company’s success in Miami and beyond. He currently manages a growing portfolio of over $4 billion in real estate assets across the country. Completed condo projects spearheaded by Shear include Echo Aventura, Echo Brickell and Muse Residences in Sunny Isles. In 2018, Shear announced PMG will be bringing The Waldorf Astoria Residences to Miami in 2020.

The group recently opened X Miami, a 464-unit multifamily social community pioneering the “Rent By Bedroom” model for Class A luxury apartments in the urban core, which became the fastest building to lease in Downtown Miami. PMG will continue to expand this multifamily model nationally under Shear's direction. A native of Miami’s Coconut Grove and alumnus of Emory University's Goizueta School of Business, Shear lives in Brickell with his dog Larry and enjoys pico de gallo with every meal.

Hear from Ryan on March 5th at People to Watch: Leaders in South Florida Real Estate. Get your tickets below.
