Ritz-Carlton Club To Convert Seville Hotel

Plans have been recently announced to convert the Seville Hotel into a new Ritz-Carlton Club and Residences. The new development will consist of three oceanfront residential towers featuring 44 fractional ownership Club residences, as well as 94 whole ownership Residences.

The Miami Beach location is through a joint partnership with Miami-based developer Lionstone Development and real estate developer and brokerage Fortune International.

Prices will be announced next year. Residence real estate reservations are scheduled for release in early 2006, with fractional ownership reservations following in mid-2006.

The Private Residence Club promises to deliver something no other home can offer, five-star service from the world’s premier hospitality company.

The Ritz-Carlton takes customer service VERY seriusly. In the early 90’s, I worked at the Ritz-Carlton in Marina Del Ray, CA. Everyday, at a pre-shift meeting, we had to recite this credo to our co-workers:

Soon We’ll Be Shopping at Midtown Miami Shops

Hooray! Midtown Miami has announced the main retail anchors that will service their Midtown Miami Shops. The big-box retailers that are slated to open include Target, Linens’N Things, Circuit City, PetSmart and West Elm store, an affordable home furnishings concept by Pottery Barn.

Home Depot and Wall Mart were in negotiations to take up a main portion of the complex, but both projects have been canceled.

The Shops at Midtown Miami will also include a selection of specialty stores and restaurants when it opens in the fall.

The shopping center will be a 645,000-square-foot retail development, minutes from downtown Miami.

This will make life for people in Miami, Miami Beach, Brickell and Key Biscayne much easier. Currently, we have to go to Aventura or Kendall to shop. But after Midtown opens, a shopping mall will be just minutes away.
