Miami Luxury Shopping Renaissance

Josh Stein: Real Estate Agent in Miami Beach, FL


Miami offers a variety of specialty shops, boutiques, and shopping malls that rival some of the best in the world. Wealthy Miami socialites, international celebrities, and well-dressed shoppers put on their most glamorous clothing to stroll in the open-air emporium of Bal Harbour Shops featuring high end luxury retailers, cafes, covered walkways, and lush greenery. Since its opening in 1965, the majority of the luxury retailers in Miami have been concentrated in Bal Harbour Shops, but this will soon change. Shops and boutiques which made the Bal Harbour ground zero for high-end fashions are now looking outside the open air plaza and instead setting up shop in Aventura Mall and in Miami’s Design District.

Louis Vuitton is leading the South Florida luxury retail market redesign. The luxury retail giant pulled out of Bal Harbour in summer 2011 after 30 years to relocate to a space in Aventura Mall nearly double in size. Louis Vuitton also announced plans to open a store in the Design District in 2014, joining luxury shoe designer Christian Louboutin. Louis Vuitton’s plans could play a major role in putting Miami’s Design District on the fashion map and helping raise Aventura Mall’s luxury profile.

Already a popular destination for dining and upscale home décor, the Design District aims to become an alternative destination for luxury shopping akin to SoHo or New York City’s Meat Packing District. The mix of luxury fashion brands in the Design District had been limited to Christian Louboutin and Marni but the presence of a Louis Vuitton flagship store will validate the neighborhood and attract other luxury retailers. Expected to follow Louis Vuitton’s lead are at least some—or possibly all—of the other brands owned by parent company Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy. Representatives for companies like Christian Dior and Hermes say their clientele and accessibility is changing, and like Louis Vuitton, they are adjusting to meet these needs.

Although Bal Harbour is experiencing change, don’t count them out. In 2011, the mall posted its best year with sales totaling more than $2,000 per square ft., this is over 5 times more any other malls in the country. There is a huge demand for space in the mall, with a long wait list for tenancy.

The neighborhood of Bal Harbour is more popular now than ever with the recent opening of the St. Regis Resort & Residences in Bal Harbour, the most luxurious and exclusive building ever built in the area. Located on over 9 acres of pristine oceanfront property, St. Regis stands on the existing site of the Sheraton Bal Harbour, on Collins Avenue directly across from the Bal Harbour Shops. The residents and guests of the St. Regis and surrounding properties are the demographic that Bal Harbour Shops caters to, however, this demographic is not the only one that supports the luxury retail market.

The upscale Bal Harbour environment may not be for everyone, but thanks to the recent fashion mix up, shoppers can now choose a shopping destination that best suits their personality and still be able to enjoy luxury offerings. If you prefer the excitement of shopping in a mammoth mall, visit Aventura; if you enjoy a leisurely stroll in upscale open air setting, Bal Harbour is for you; if you prefer the energy of a creative up and coming urban destination, take a walk through the Design District. Regardless of your choice, you will have variety of luxury brands to choose from.

BIENES RAÍCES COMERCIALES - EDUCACION

JM Padron, CCIM, CDPE, CRB, RE Broker Sunny Isles-Ft. Lauderdale-Doral-Weston: Commercial Real Estate Agent in Sunny Isles, FL

EDUCACION - BIENES RAÍCES COMERCIALES 101 Si un Agente de Bienes Raíces Residenciales piensa en incursionar en la práctica de Bienes Raíces Comerciales, el Realtor deberá prestar mucha atención al artículo No. 11 del código de ética. Este artículo se refiere al conocimiento que un profesional en el ramo de los Bienes Raíces debería poseer antes de dar consejos a un cliente en la materia. En otras palabras, el artículo indica que el Realtor debe ser competente en el campo. Las implicaciones en practicar una profesión sin competencia puede escalar a situationes de riesgos legales tanto para el agente, el "Broker" y en general todas las partes involucradas en la transacción. Si el Agente de Bienes Raíces Residenciales tiene la intención de empezar a practicar en el campo comercial, debería seguir los siguientes pasos: 1. Tomar un curso básico en Bienes Raíces Comerciales. Yo particularmente recommendo "How to Succesfully List and Sale Commercial Real Estate" Como Listar y Vender Bienes Raíces Comerciales exitosamente. Este es un curso de dos dias y lo dictarán en la Asociación de Realtors de Miami en el mes de Marzo. 2. Como segundo paso, el Agente debería tomar el curso introductorio del CCIM, el cual es también de dos dias y cubre los aspectos financieros básicos para el análisis de las inversiones. Pueden contactar al instituto en la página www.ccim.com. 3. Para concluir la etapa inicial de educación es recomendable tomar el curso del CCIM C-101, el cual cubre análisis de inversión en bienes raíces comerciales en profundidad. Contacte al instituto en la página www.ccci.com. Adicionalmente a la educación básica sugerida anteriormente, es recomendable que el agente trabaje en lo posible con un mentor que le pueda guiar en los pasos iniciales de la práctica. Deberá empezar haciendo transacciones sencillas como alquileres de oficinas y comercio y ventas de oficinas o edificios inferiores en tamaño a los 3,000 pies cuadrados. Algunos agentes piensan que pueden salir a practicar bienes raíces comerciales sin pasar por un entrenamiento previo como el sugerido. Esto es un grave error por las implicaciones que esto puede tener, existen demandas en estos momentos contra agentes y "Brokers" haberse involucrado en transacciones omitiendo importantes pasos en el proceso, tan simples, como el no realizar un estudio ambiental. La transacción comercial tiene tres facetas muy importantes: 1. Análisis isis Financiero de la Inversión: este es un proceso de analisis detallado en el cual se analiza la factibilidad del negocio realizando estudios de sensibilidad. 2. Análisis del Mercado: se estudia la localidad de la propiedad relacionada con el entorno del mercado con proyecciones a futuro. 3. Proceso de "Due Diligence": esta etapa de la transacción es crucial para verificar que los pasos 1 y 2 anteriores tienen un fundamento real. Aunque el agente comercial no realizara todas las actividades de este proceso, si debe conocer las diferentes tareas y coordinar su ejecución. Consejo a los Clentes: no arriesguen sus negocios tan importantes colocandolos en manos de agentes residenciales incompetentes en la materia. Consejo a los Agents: por favor sigan mis consejos y completen el proceso de educación. Para cualquier aclaratoria o asistencia por favor no deje de contactarse directamente a jpadron@remax.net
