Video: 2000 Ocean by KAR Properties Construction Update

New York-based developer KAR Properties has shared their latest construction update and renderings for 2000 Ocean, a beachfront condo development in Hallandale Beach. It has been going vertical since June 28th, when Suffolk poured one of the largest concrete pours in the city in a decade. Today, the building is over 50% complete and hurricane glass has been installed up to the eighth floor.

Upon completion, the building will be positioned closer to the ocean than its neighboring buildings and will include luxury amenities like furnishings by the Italian design brand Minotti, a transformative art curation program spearheaded by curator Megan Kincaid, and wellness amenities found in some of the world’s most luxurious resorts.

KAR Properties expects to finish construction of 2000 Ocean in mid-2021.

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

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.

Society Las Olas in Fort Lauderdale.

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.
