The More Sophisticated Oktoberfest - Taste of Brickell Food & Wine Festival 2015

Sep 24, 2015 September 24, 2015

You forgot to renew your passport. Great, now you can’t make it to Munich for Oktoberfest. But hey, no worries, we've got you covered. The 5^th Annual Taste of Brickell Food & Wine Festival brings you the best of the Bavarian fest in a more refined setting. Cold German beer, authentic German cuisine and much more will be on offer at 609 Brickell Avenue.

For two days, Brickell will showcase its finest. With the beautiful bay and Brickell Key for backdrop, the food and wine festival is spread over two days so families and individual adults get their fair share of entertainment. The 9^th of October is dedicated to family fun with exhibits focusing on health, fitness, wellness, arts, crafts, non-profits and a free kids’ zone to give parents a breather. Scheduled between 1 and 9 pm at Brickell Park, only non-alcoholic beverages will be served on this day.

That's the PG-13 version. You can taste the full spectrum of food and wine on the 10^th. Miami's finest restaurants will have their fare up from 1-9 pm, with a good flow of fine wine and cold craft beers to keep everyone in high spirits. Participating restaurants include Bavaria Haus, Bahamas Breakfast Club, Eat Greek, Burrito San and The Oceanaire Seafood Room. There’s also going to be live music by Floyd the pop artist, El Viajero Bionico and many more. An automotive showcase featuring exotic cars is also on the list.

While general admission will cost you $5, special value tickets are priced at $20. Though VIP tickets are limited, we suggest you grab one if you’d like to sample fine wine, spirits and food in an exclusive area in the company of others 21 and over.

Opinions and Advice Why Are Luxury Condo Sales Surging in Downtown Miami as Sales Weaken in Miami Beach?

Move over Miami Beach, there’s a new rising star on the block. For long, Miami Beach has been the hot favorite for property seekers in Miami. Whether it’s been about purchasing a permanent residence or getting a second home, South Beach properties have always sold out like hot cakes. On the other hand, Greater Downtown (Edgewater and Brickell included) has mostly been a second-best option to South Beach and Miami Beach, possibly out of necessity, with proximity to work being the biggest motivator for local buyers. But, as we’ve been tracing luxury condo trends over the last couple of years via our quarterly market reports, we noticed a reversal. The Greater Downtown area is now emerging as the top favorite among luxury condo seekers. Here are some reasons we are seeing this new trend: Numbers Speak: Miami Beach vs. Greater Downtown Miami Over the past couple of quarters, sales trends in Greater Downtown Miami have been marching ahead, even as those in Miami Beach slowed down....

Real Estate News Massive Lawsuits Won by Miami Condo Associations Mean Awesome Upgrades for Condo Owners and Residents

Recently, a handful of condo associations have scored massive windfalls thanks to lawsuits leveraged against insurers and developers. This is obviously great news for condo associations, and it also usually means that the associations' finances will likely be great for years to come. This in turn translates into improved living conditions for residents of those buildings, since these windfalls provide opportunities for condo associations to make major repairs and improvements that benefit residents. Oftentimes, the amount of money they win does not actually need to be spent entirely on the issue that motivated the lawsuit (many times the repairs have already been made by the time the lawsuit is settled). This provides a great opportunity for the condo to either fill their reserves and avoid special assessments on future capital improvements and maintenance projects, or simply spend money doing awesome upgrades on various things.

Opinions and Advice Financing Options for Second Home Buyers

Purchasing a second home is embedded in the hearts of many as a sign of true success: the ability to escape to your favorite destination at-will and stay at a place you can still call home and also have it as part of your investment portfolio. Not only will it allow you to save money on lodging if you use it as a vacation home, but it can also provide you a source of income if you rent it out while you’re not using it. There are three common options to choose from to finance the purchase of your second home, and for each you will need good to excellent credit. Here is what you need to know about each second home loan option. 1. Take out a HELOC on Your Current Home If you’ve owned your primary residence for a few years, chances are you’ve earned equity on the property if its value has gone up.

Real Estate News Inventory Loans for Unsold Condos Gaining Popularity Among Miami Developers

Although pre- and new construction developer sales have picked up in 2019 as compared to the past couple of years, the pace is not necessarily as fast as developers would like, and not all projects are benefiting from the uptick. While many of these new condo projects are averaging 89% - 92% unit sales, those remaining unsold units are currently totaling about 2,101 as of this writing, and developers are turning to inventory loans to capitalize on condos they’ve built that still remain unsold. Developers have a choice to either reduce their prices to speed up sales, or take out an inventory loan and take a hit on carrying costs versus diminishing the value of their inventory. In Miami, many developers are doing the latter. We can also assume that the money from an inventory loan can be used to pay off other loans or invest in other ventures. In one recent example, Alirio Torrealba, head of Coral Gables based MG Developer recently closed on a loan from BGI Capital for unsold...
