Seeing Beyond the Boundaries the Rise of NoLi

March 4, 2018 — TERRANOVA TRENDS — BY ANDREA SPEEDY When Miami Beach was first envisioned as a relatively simple beach escape in the 1920s, no one expected its meteoric rise to become one of the world’s most sought-after destinations for entertainment, travel, retail, restaurants and more. However, after bouncing back from hurricanes in the 1930s, to serving as military barracks during World War II, to the glamorous hotel era on Collins Avenue in the 1950s, Miami Beach developers have continuously succeeded in reinventing Miami Beach to garner a larger and larger share of the spotlight.

The revitalization of Lincoln Road along with the preservation effort of Deco-style hotels in South Beach started in the mid-1990s, which in turn brought a new wave of residential development to South Beach. And for the past two decades, development has been principally residential in nature. However, almost six years ago Terranova Corporation began investing in Miami Beach real estate, recognizing the need for strategic commercial development in Miami Beach.

Inside Out – Terranova Proves Building Communities Truly Begins at Home

/in ,

February 19, 2018 — TERRANOVA TRENDS — BY ANDREA SPEEDY As the South Florida real estate landscape continues to grow and change at a breakneck pace. Terranova has remained committed to their roots. During this current development cycle, and all other before it, Terranova has stayed connected to South Florida neighborhoods and beyond by remembering it is those who actually live and work here that make up any community.

“At Terranova, we’re driven by what our communities really need and how we can make a positive impact on the surrounding neighborhoods. Whenever we can, we work that into our leasing efforts and development projects, but more importantly, we encourage every member of our team to be active and involved in their communities,” says Terranova Chairman, Stephen Bittel. With so many out-of-state and foreign teams competing for their places on the skyline, the South-Florida-based company’s mindset is unique. It also explains how the now 35-year-old firm has maintained a solid presence throughout the area’s numerous market transitions. “We’re a part of the fabric of this community,” says Bittel. “We’re in it for the long haul. Quite simply, this place means something to all of us on a personal level, which means we’re in this business to see things through.”
