Hello March!
 
I am glad to report it's been a busy month of February. The city was abuzz, as it usually is, for the Food and Wine Festival.  So many of my clients love to come in for these events! While people were sampling culinary creations from top chefs in the country, they also built up an appetite for real estate!    
 
This month we put one of our listings under contract  in under 30 days! We also sold our 2 bedroom direct ocean condo at Oceana Bal Harbour, and listed another for sale. Do they say any press is good press?  Here I was mentioned by the Master Broker's Forum and the Miami Herald as being the second highest sale that week.  
 
" ��WE SEE YOU, JUSTIN RUBIN AND JOELLE OIKNINE! These Master Brokers Forum members had two of the biggest residential home sales in Miami for the week of Feb. 9 - 15. Great job!" (Article link below.)

In Sunny Isles, The 52-story Ritz Carlton Residences is now complete, and has received its temporary certificate of occupancy. Closings are starting.
 
The developer still has some condos left. This is a good time to make a deal since they wish to close out. Similarly, the Armani tower started closings last month and is offering deals on existing inventory so they can close out the building. 
 
Along the same beach, the south tower at Estates at Acqualina has now reached level 48, while the north tower was pouring level 10 yesterday. These will be the tallest towers in Sunny Isles when completed. 
 
Further South, Aston Martin Residences has had its first glass windows installed. Aston Martin Residences is being built on what some have called the most expensive acre in Miami, at the mouth of the Miami River. When complete, the tower will become the second tallest in Miami at 816 feet above ground. It will include around 66 stories. Completion is scheduled for 2022.
 
Call me for more information on these or any other towers at 305-491-1885. 

Looking forward to seeing you around town,
 
Joelle

An 800-room hotel is coming to South Beach, and it's going to be a Grand Hyatt. The 17-story luxury property will connect to the Miami Beach convention center. ARQUITECTONICA
 
 
There is only one Grand Hyatt hotel in Florida. The second one is planned for South Beach - and it comes with a "sky bridge."
 
The 800-room luxury hotel planned for city-owned land near the newly renovated Miami Beach Convention Center will be managed by the Chicago-based company, Miami Beach Mayor Dan Gelber announced during his State of the City speech Monday.
 
The new convention center hotel will join the Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay as the company's only properties in Florida, and the 13th in the United States, according to information from Grand Hyatt's website. The brand also has a hotel in the Bahamas.

"Working with Joelle was an absolute pleasure. We bought and sold one unit in six months for a substantial gain, Then repurchase a newer better "Off the Market" unit. She is tenacious and honest and has the utmost integrity. The key is to trust their ways and it will all come together. She knows the market well and is "in the know" of deals happening. The people that make up this business are hard-working and accurate. I chose Joelle for all these reasons and is my realtor I will continue to use in the future."
