Aventura Grand Cove, located on Biscayne and 187th Street, has been under new management for almost a year. When FIP Realty took over management, everyone wondered what would be the next restaurant to occupy the vacant free standing space in the plaza. This location has served many different cuisines – lobster, Brazilian, Kosher, BBQ, chicken, and more. If you lived here long enough and think back you’ll start to remember that this free standing facility at the plaza has always been a revolving restaurant. We poised a challenge, in the last article about this Aventura plaza, to find something new for the location other than a restaurant – read it here, Aventura commercial real estate.

Bob Dylan said it best, “The times, they are a changin.” The management team has surprised everyone and they will be bringing Jared The Galleria of Jewelry. The popular Jewelry retailer has secured an amazing location with excellent brand exposure on one of the busiest corners in Aventura. It’s such a natural fit, why hasn’t anybody thought of this in all these years?

The simplest solutions are sometimes the hardest to see. FIP Realty’s  diligent management gave clarity to this AH-HA moment – another jewelry store in Aventura.

Roy Faith, the broker of FIP Realty, explained that Jared has been looking for the perfect location in Avenutra for nearly a decade. He went on to say, “the deal took many months to put together and there will be a complete redevelopment of the property. The building will be demolished and rebuilt closer to Biscayne, it will have a fresh design and eventually a complete matching update will be given to the entire plaza.”

Aventura has no shortage of Jewelry stores and for some strange reason another one makes perfect sense, especially for a free standing building on Biscayne. Jared is a brand people trust and we’ve all seen the commercials… “He went to Jared’s!”

Thankfully, Aventura can sustain another jewelry store as tens of millions travel through this city for the sole purpose of shopping.

This addition, marks another recent development at the South tip of Aventura. There have been several new restaurants opened around the corner – Chipotle and Pei Wei. The Burger King has been demolished and cleared to make room for a new tenant (likely another bank). The facades have changed on the plaza of Mo’s Bagels. Bagel Works has recently opened. Vacant land has been developed into a synagogue. The Olive Garden has moved a block South. The plaza next to Fresh Market has been cleaned up and ready for redevelopment.

Not bad for a rough economy. It’s obvious that action in Aventura is not slowing down, and when everyone else sleeps those here are pushing forward.

It must be the water!

Art Basel, one of the most important art shows in the world, has chosen Miami Beach as a yearly venue for their exhibits. As a result, every December, Miami becomes the choice destination for art enthusiasts from all over the world. Tourists pour into the city for the weather, the atmosphere, the food, nightlife and most importantly the art. Galleries all over Miami Beach and the Design District open their doors and invite patron in to view their art and purchase what is of their liking.

The collection of art has long been a hobby for many, but the investment in art has also been an important part of many peoples’ portfolios. Insuring your art collection is very important since homeowners insurance usually has limited or no coverage for high value pieces. MAMI Insurance is available to aid you with all of your art insurance needs. Art insurance is usually purchased by individual collectors, museums, trusts, foundations and galleries, on all art pieces ranging from paintings to sculptures, antiques, furniture, rare coins, silverware, jewelry, and musical instruments.

Proper appraisal of your art collection is essential in insuring art because the value of art fluctuates from year to year. Therefore, art appraisers are key in assessing the value of each particular piece so that you and your insurer can have an agreed value of the art in case of full or partial loss. Art insurance covers natural disasters (hurricane, wind, food, earthquakes, etc.) and extends worldwide so art can be covered when being moved and taken to and from being on exhibit.

MAMI Insurance customizes art insurance policies for customers all over the world. Lloyd’s policies can be purchased in US Dollars to cover art in any part of the globe. MAMI Insurance is experienced in working with a global customer base to work directly with each owner to plan for their needs.

There are so many different aspects when it comes to the property claim process. Public Adjusters at Stellar will be your best asset on your side. The key to our experience is communication and explanation – we help guide property owners to make the most informed decisions. It’s vital, in order to determine a recovery a property owner deserves, to have a clear determination of property value – depending on the situation this is relevant to various types of property.

The most common method of determining value is Actual Cash Value (ACV) this is calculated to account for deprecation of the value of a particular item. This can be difficult for a policyholder to swallow because he is expecting to recover full value of the item purchased. The flip-side is that the insurance company wants to avoid paying a policyholder full value for an item that has deprecated. This is where the expert insurance claim adjuster will navigate to recovery.

The Replacement Cost Value (RCV) is a type of coverage that is used to cover the difference between the ACV and the cost of a new same or similar item. The difficulty of this type of coverage arises in situations in which the insurance company requires that the RCV is paid when the insurance companies have documentation that the policyholder purchased the item and needs reimbursement of RCV. This would mean that the policyholder comes out of pocket until the RCV is received.
