Bal Harbour is synonymous with luxury shopping, boasting brands like Cartier, Louis Vuitton and Prada at the family-owned Bal Harbour Shops, which opened in 1965.

That association is hardly a bad thing, but the tiny village north of Miami Beach wants to stand for more than just a high-fashion mall. Tourism director Carolyn Travis, who has a $1.8 million budget funded by resort taxes to promote the destination, is seeking to add more substance to the area’s style.

“People want experiences,” she said.  “Our goal was to be able to build more of that within our community.” Since the beginning of 2010, the village has added a children’s camp run by the Miami Children’s Museum at the Sea View Hotel to reach family travelers. It also introduced free yoga and Pilates classes on the beach for locals and hotel guests.

In October, Bal Harbour is starting a culture series that will include movies on the sand once a month, outdoor music performances every month and art nights at the shops, featuring the brands’ own art collections and exhibitions from local galleries and museums like North Miami’s Museum of Contemporary Arts.

The Bal Harbour village has contracted with sales and public relations staff in New York, Latin America and Europe; promotes itself at high-end travel trade shows and advertises in magazines like Travel + Leisure, Condé Nast Traveler and Departures.

A new St. Regis Bal Harbour on the beach is scheduled to open in June of 2012, will be the most privileged condo and condo/hotel in Bal Harbour Real Estate, bringing the number of hotels to three with just under 1,000 rooms. The former Regent Bal Harbour opened as One Bal Harbour in 2009, joining the 1950′s-era Sea View Hotel.

One Bal Harbor is perfectly designed 26-story luxury oceanfront condo, which was built in Bal Harbour in years, and One Bal Harbour Resort and Spa is a five star luxury boutique hotel with room service, concierge assistance and valet parking. There is also the fine waterfront dining and a world-class spa located within the hotel. One Bal Harbour considered to be one of the most elite projects in South Florida Real Estate.

One Bal Harbour Resort and Spa general manager Florent Gateau said he sees visitors, especially large family groups, from the Northeast, Europe and South America. Their main draw is the shops, he said, and the surrounding hot spots like South Beach. He said the guests are still coming back to the hotel with shopping bags — but they’re not going crazy.

“The spending pattern is still there, but people are being more cautious,” he said. They want to use their money for “something of real significance.”

Travis said the village wants people to stay in the hotels — but is also happy to have visitors who are staying elsewhere. This summer, shuttle service started on Collins Avenue as far south as Lincoln Road in South Beach, well-known for Art Deco elegance, boutique hotels, night clubs, shopping and luxury waterfront South Beach Real Estate, specifically in exclusive SoFi (South of Fifth) area.

The Bal Harbor village doesn’t shy away from placing itself in the larger context of South Florida, even if it means dropping some names. On Bal Harbour’s website, the greeting says: “Miami Beach to the south of us, city of Sunny Isles Beach (famous for most exclusive Sunny Isles Real Estate with luxury oceanfront condos like Trump Towers Miami, Jade Beach and Jade Ocean and beautiful beaches, bound by the Atlantic Ocean on the east and the Intracoastal Waterway) to the north, not a single destination above us.”  You can read original article by Hanna Sampson at Miami Herald: http://www.miamiherald.com/2010/08/22/1785467/bal-harbour-more-than-a-luxury.html#ixzz0xRfEBC65.

The South Florida Real Estate ride has been a harrowing one. Back in 2004 and 2005, when money was cheap and easy, condos changed hands as fast as developers could conceive of them. Apartments were flipped again and again, long before the buildings were even built. Prices hit inconceivable heights — $1,000 per square foot for Miami!

Of course, many of these units lost about half their value during the downturn, and buildings struggled to stay afloat after buyers bailed on their contracts. But now, after some major price adjustments, things are looking sunnier — at least in one beach community.

After early buyers walked away from contracts, Jade Beach and Jade Ocean are making a comeback. The first building has just one unit left, and the second is 55 percent closed. Prices, not surprisingly, have been lowered. Sunny Isles Beach Real Estate — situated next to tony Golden Beach on the north, Bal Harbour Real Estate on the south and Aventura Real Estate on the west — is home to a three-building, 813-unit Trump Towers complex on Collins Avenue that has sold more than $100 million in condos this year. Even more important, more than $60 million of these deals have actually closed.

Just north on Collins Avenue, the 256-residence Jade Ocean development has sold about 10 units per month this year, with prices averaging $1.4 million. Fifty-five percent of the building has closed.

Make no mistake, this is all happening at a big discount. “We really set the floor for pricing in Miami,” Gil Dezer, president of Dezer Properties, says of  Trump Towers. “Here we are in a Trump building, selling at $450 a foot on the ocean. People are waiting for the bottom, and I think we hit the floor.”

Dezer is also in charge of the nearby Trump Grande, another three-tower development on Collins Avenue. That complex includes the Trump International hotel and two residential towers with 669 condos combined. “We were averaging $1,000 a foot before [the downturn], and now we’re getting about $550 a foot; we’re down literally 45 percent,” Dezer says of Trump Grande.

The story is similar over at Jade Ocean, which is fetching about $625 per square foot, down from $840 per square foot at its peak. “We sold [Jade Beach] at an average of $540 a square foot; the resales went up to $750 a square foot,” says Edgardo Defortuna, president and CEO of Fortune International Development, which developed this 51-story sister property of Jade Ocean. “But some of those buyers didn’t close, and we ended up taking those units back.”

But in the last six months, Defortuna has managed to resell the remainder of Jade Beach’s 248 units — save one, which is available for $2.3 million. Next door at Jade Ocean, “We’ve been selling eight to 12 units per month since late 2009,” he says. Over at Trump Grande, Dezer “started closings in January of 2009, right in the middle of the whole mess. We were totally sold out, and then a lot of people elected not to close because they couldn’t get financing or their situations had changed; I heard every situation in the book.”

But he’s managed to completely resell one Trump Grande building and is 65 percent through the other. In January, Dezer Development decided to bet even bigger on Sunny Isles Real Estate by assuming a $265 million loan from a development partnership that included the Related Group in order to take over sales of Trump Towers. Since then, Dezer has sold about 285 apartments at Trump Towers at an average of around $420 per square foot. Part of this success is thanks to Sunny Isles’ beach location surrounded by wealthy enclaves. Golden Beach Real Estate, full of multimillion-dollar mansions (Ricky Martin has one), recently completed a $30 million civic improvement project that included landscaping and an eco-friendly storm-water drainage system.

“The projects that typically felt the bust a little stronger or a little more harshly were because the investors would make decisions based on the numbers, but the emotional purchaser and the end user are always the stronger buyers,” says area broker Jodi Macken, president of Macken Realty. “Thankfully, Golden Beach has sustained itself because it caters toward an end user.” Nearby Bal Harbour is a shopping destination that rivals Madison Avenue or Rodeo Drive. And Aventura is a quiet golf and beach destination favored by Michael Jordan and a sharp set who can’t stand the bustle of South Beach Real Estate. “People bring their friends, they go shopping at Bal Harbour,” says Defortuna. “The Sunny Isles Real Estate market has become very attractive.”
