FOCUS ON MIAMI<br />

Miami Nice<br />

Breaking ground on his latest and highestprofile<br />

Miami project in April 2013, Gil Dezer<br />

of Dezer Development commented 'This is<br />

an especially proud moment to launch the<br />

first-ever Porsche Design Tower'. At an after-party on<br />

the beach where guests watched fireworks lighting up<br />

the glittering Miami skyline, prospective buyers were<br />

able to speculate just how impressive it would be to<br />

use the car elevator feature of the 60 story building,<br />

which transports residents' vehicles in to their own<br />

apartments. Very popular with buyers, the 'sky garage'<br />

concept is one of only a few in the world – with similar<br />

designs now in Singapore and New York – yet perhaps<br />

it is Miami where the concept will work best. Miami,<br />

long favoured by the rich of Latin America and the US,<br />

is perfect for cruising around in the latest supercar and<br />

thus it seems fitting that a love letter to to the automobile<br />

– the Porsche Design Tower – has been incredibly<br />

well received here. With 80% of the homes in the<br />

tower quickly under contract, a $32.5m penthouse and<br />

– according to the developer – two dozen billionaires<br />

under contract, this is a truly Ultra Prime development.<br />

One Thousand Museum – Zaha Hadid's iconic<br />

development. Principal Penthouse – $50m<br />
