New York developer Atlas Capital Group has submitted plans to build a 36-story residential project at 1900 Biscayne Boulevard.

Atlas bought the property last year for $13.6 million, with a $7.6 million loan.

Atlas is building close to the maximum permitted on the site. Plans call for 429 units, which is less than the 502 units that the zoning code permits on the lot. Miami 21 allows 500 units per acre, and the property size is just above one acre.

Under Miami 21, 36-stories is the maximum base height permitted on the site.

The 429 units include 27 studio apartments (just above 500 square feet), 248 1-bedroom units (ranging from 720 to 1,091 square feet), 149 2-bedroom units (997 to 1,366 square feet) and 5 penthouse units (2,167 to 3,312 square feet).

At the ground level, there will be nearly 13,000 square feet of retail space. Parking spaces for 620 vehicles will be provided.

Kobi Karp, whose office is down the block at 29th and Biscayne, is the architect.

Russian Investors Have 2000 Biscayne In Contract, 60-Story Tower Planned

Quote:

A group of Russian investors have the City Hall restaurant property at 2004 Biscayne Boulevard in contract, where they hope to build a 60-story tower.

The oddly shaped site is sized at 32,775 square feet. An alley separates it from Braman’s car dealership on the north side. To the south, New York’s Atlas Capital is planning to build a 36-story residential project at 1900 Biscayne, while Fifteen Group is moving through the approval process for a 36-story residential tower above the historic church at 1836 Biscayne.

The property last sold in 2007 for $5.4 million to a company managed by broker Christian Parth.

The group also has a Denny’s on the dry side of Collins (17550 Collins Ave.) in Sunny Isles under contract, and they are working with the city on approval of a 19-story residential project.

International Real Estate Developer, Verzasca Group, Enters U.S. Market, Launches Residential Developments in South Florida

The Recently Formed Commercial Real Estate Firm is Currently Developing Over One Million Square Feet of Residential and Commercial Space in Miami-Dade County

MIAMI, Feb. 19, 2015 / — The Verzasca Group, a privately held real estate development company, today announced its formation and official entry into the United States with residential developments slated for the South Florida market. Created in August 2014 by former NHL star Darius Kasparaitis alongside finance and real estate professionals Gennady Barsky and Tim Lobanov, Verzasca plans to deploy over $700 Million into various projects over the next three years. Verzasca will serve as the U.S. arm of a private Russian real estate company due to Russian investor desire for American exposure. The name Verzasca itself is a reference to the Verzasca River in Switzerland known for its transparency that the firm strives to bring to both its investors and its development partners.

Verzasca Group’s U.S. headquarters is located in Miami with a sales center in Bay Harbor Islands and is currently developing over 1 Million sqft of luxury residential and commercial space throughout Miami-Dade County. The team gravitated to the South Florida area because the European aesthetic of the market matches the background of the founders.

The Verzasca executive team has overseen 10 Million sqft of property development with projects including Vaalimaa Outlet Mall in Vaalimaa, Finland, School Street Condominium, My Town, The Birch Grove and The Austrian Quarter, Vernissage and Colors of Summer in St. Petersburg, Russia.

Darius Kasparaitis, who played 14 years in the NHL mostly for the New York Rangers, Pittsburgh Penguins and New York Islanders, serves as the President of Verzasca Group leading and overseeing the project management for the firm’s developments as well as driving the creative direction of the firm. Gennady Barsky is the Executive Chairman of Verzasca Group, responsible for setting the company’s general business direction through tactical planning with a specific focus on raising and deploying capital. Tim Lobanov, Managing Director of Verzasca, plays a key role in the execution of the creative vision of Mr. Kasparaitis and Mr. Barsky. He is responsible for supervising all of Verzasca Group’s day-to-day business operations and developing marketing strategies for the firm and its projects.

Prior to Verzasca, Lobanov led corporate development for The Polis Group, one of Russia’s largest real estate developers responsible for looking at investment opportunities abroad which provided his entree into the U.S. marketplace. He and Kasparaitis linked up regarding some potential early investments eventually leading to the formation of Verzasca.

“We are thrilled with the opportunity to bring our expertise and track record from abroad and put it to the test in a hot real estate market like South Florida,” said Verzasca President Darius Kasparaitis. “We’ve been evaluating the viability of a U.S. launch for a number of years and feel that now is the right time to enter the market and start developing significant real estate projects starting with Miami-Dade County.”

Russians Plan ‘Tallest Building In Edgewater,’ Designed By ‘World Renowned Architect’

Quote:

Several tall towers are under construction in Edgewater, but Russian developer Verzasca Group wants to outdo them all.

Verzasca’s executive chairman says that the company is planning to build the tallest building in the neighborhood. The building will be ‘iconic,’ and is being designed by a ‘world renowned architect,’ he told The Real Deal.

Previously, a Verzasca representative said that they were in contract to buy 2000 Biscayne, the site of the City Hall restaurant. Verzasca’s offices are also located at 2000 Biscayne, according to the company’s website.

Darius Kasparitis, a former NHL player from Lithuania now living in Florida, told a Lithuanian publication that the tower will be 60-stories and have about 450 units. Kasparitis is a partner in the firm.

The group hopes to raise $700 million within a few years to fund the project, along with several others in the Miami area. Kasparitis wasn’t sure where funding would come from, but said it could be from a bank or investors.

Verzasca also plans a 19-story project with 76-units at the former Denny’s site in Sunny Isles. In Bay Harbour Island, the company is building Pearl House and Le Jardin Residences.

Quote:

Verzasca Group closed on the purchase of the former City Hall restaurant site at 2000 Biscayne last week for $13 million.

2000 Biscayne

MIAMI, FLORIDA

2000 Biscayne Boulevard enhances not only Miami’s skyline, but also the standard for high-rise, residential design. Rapid growth challenges designers to explore smaller sites and non-traditional view corridors. As urban centers become the focal point of live work citizens, a new type of architecture must respond in a dynamic, holistic way creating an economically viable and user-friendly tower.

In contrast to the strict, orthogonally-organized Miami streets, the site for 2000 Biscayne is slightly curved. This curvature influenced the design of the tower volume. Playful extension of the floor slabs in various directions, allows residents to enjoy the beautiful South Florida weather from their balconies. Thoughtfully designed facades and well-distributed layouts allow every unit to have a great view of either the city or the ocean.

The tower design features a step-back at the ground-level connecting it visually with the neighborhood scale, as well as complimenting the nearby retail stores without disrupting the walk ability of the existing fabric.

Verzasca scores $6.4M loan for apartment project on Biscayne Boulevard

Quote:

Verzasca Group scored a $6.4 million pre-development loan for its 2000 Biscayne apartment tower in Edgewater, property records show.

North Miami Beach-based New Wave Loans provided the loan, records show. Plans for Verzasca’s 36-story, 393-unit apartment tower were approved by the city of Miami’s Urban Development Review Board in June. The Russian development firm originally planned to build condos on the 32,775-square-foot site at 2000 Biscayne Boulevard, which it purchased in March 2016 for $13 million.

Pre-development costs usually cover market and traffic studies, including possible zoning changes among other factors. A spokesperson for Verzasca said the developer plans to break ground on the project during the third quarter of 2018.

Fort Lauderdale-based Dorsky + Yue created the designs for 2000 Biscayne. The project will include 25 studios, 175 one-bedrooms, 181 two-bedrooms, 12 three-bedrooms and an eight-story parking garage.

Quote:

Kushner Companies is planning to develop an 1,100-unit apartment project in Miami’s Edgewater neighborhood, marking its first in South Florida.

The company, led by Charles Kushner, Nicole Kushner Meyer and Laurent Morali, is under contract to buy a site at 2000 Biscayne Boulevard from investor Enrique Manhard, according to Bisnow. Manhard paid $13.1 million to buy the property, which is within an Opportunity Zone, from Verzasca Group in November. Verzasca originally planned to develop condos on the site.

Kushner plans to finance the $550 million, three-phase project through an existing banking relationship and will develop it without a local partner, Bisnow reported.

Kushner Cos. could develop the second and third phases on nearby land owned by Manhard.
Between 2017 and 2018, Manhard’s company paid about $21 million to assemble 11 parcels on Northeast 20th Street between Biscayne Boulevard and Northeast Second Avenue.
