South Florida is currently experiencing a shift in demand for luxury real estate, where the most fortunate of buyers are drifting away from the coastal cities and opting for inland areas that can offer high caliber luxury single-family homes without sacrificing space or land. Developers Alex Yokana, Jairo Vela, Michael Sochaczevski, and Amos Sochaczevski understood the preferences of this niche of buyers very well, and set their eyes on a 44-acre swath of pristine land located at 4701 Akai Drive, just south of Griffin Road in the Tara subdivision of Southwest Ranches in Broward County. Construction is soon to begin on the lavish homes of AKAI Estates, a fully gated ultra-luxurious community comprised of only 16 residences featuring unique modern architectural designs by Portuguese architect Vasco Vieira with Jiro Yates as the architect of record, open floor plans of 7,000-12,000+ square feet, stunning finishes and attention to detail, and access to a variety of uncommonly upscale neighborhood amenities.
Volaris Lake Wilson is undergoing construction in Davenport, Florida. The residential complex will comprise 310 units, ranging from one-bedroom to three-bedroom layout plans. According to GrowthSpotter, the community will comprise two 48-unit buildings and six 36-unit buildings. Each garden-style building will measure three stories above grade.
Grand Living at Wellen will offer 192 apartments, comprising more than 235,000 square feet of new construction. Of the 192 apartments, 156 are independent and assisted living units, and 36 are memory care units. The homes will be in a four-story building.
American Lions LLC, a joint venture between New York City-based residential developers Fetner Properties and the Lions Group, have proposed to develop a 44-story residential building on the site of the Former Jacksonville Landing site in Downtown Jacksonville, beside the planned Perkins & Will-designed 7-acre park at Riverfront Plaza along Independent Drive West. The tower would rise 486-feet, which would be the third tallest in the city, and is designed by world-renown Danish architecture firm Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG). With an estimated price tag of $166.6 million, the development would bring 333 residential rental apartments along with an integrated parking garage for 330 vehicles, a 7,500-square-foot restaurant on the 43rd floor and a Skygarden Terrace with retail venues and direct access to the public park. American Lions LLC is the sole bidder in the Downtown Investment Authority’s (DIA) request for proposals for the site; plans for the BIG-designed tower were presented to a scoring committee of city officials on April 26, 2022.
