South Florida-based Newgard Development Group, the developer of Miami’s BrickellHouse condominium, announced the official opening of its new state-of-the-art sales gallery on Brickell Avenue in Downtown Miami – the area’s first standalone sales center to rise since the city’s 2008 real estate boom. The BrickellHouse sales gallery showcases modern elements and high-end finishes that emulate the sophisticated look at feel of the 374-unit luxury tower – inspired by the world-renowned design teams behind BrickellHouse, Miami’s Sieger Suarez Architectural Partnership and Toronto’s Yabu Pushelberg.

The BrickellHouse sales gallery – located at 1450 Brickell Avenue – is just blocks away from the condominium’s future site on Brickell Bay Drive. Construction of BrickellHouse is on schedule to get underway later this summer and be completed in 2014.

“We created this sales gallery because we are committed to our buyers and want them to be part of our journey as we progress on the development of BrickellHouse,” said Newgard Development Group Chairman Harvey Hernandez. “As we continue to reach important milestones such the groundbreaking and the initiation of vertical construction, buyers will be able to stop in and obtain updates on the progress of the project.”

On Wednesday, June 27, 2012, BrickellHouse celebrated the official grand opening of its new sales gallery with a special open house event hosted by Cervera Real Estate and Newgard Development Group. Guests, brokers and prospective buyers sipped on champagne and enjoyed hors d'oeuvres while touring the facility.

Now open to the public, visitors at the BrickellHouse sales gallery will be able to view a magnificent full scale model of the building, beautifully updated renderings, as well two full-scale model kitchens and bathrooms with luxurious finishes and fixtures. Design elements on display include Jenn-Air® stainless steel appliances including a built-in refrigerator, microwave, oven, cook-top and dishwasher; Gatto Vision® imported Italian cabinets with frosted glass accent doors and contemporary hardware; Silestone® quartz countertops and backsplashes; custom-finished floors and walls in wet areas; and frameless glass shower enclosures.

“With this sales gallery, we are able to showcase the most upscale elements that will be a part of BrickellHouse,” said Cervera Real Estate Managing Partner Alicia Cervera. “If you are not a current buyer, it will be difficult to walk away without signing on to be among the first to enjoy the quality of life this development will offer.”

The $170 million development will include top-notch amenities including a beautifully landscaped Resort Deck with a 50-foot-long lap pool; luxury health spa with sauna, steam and private treatment rooms; expansive 46th-floor rooftop pool deck with poolside service; fully-equipped fitness center; event bar and catering kitchen; high-definition screening room; and a library/media lounge. BrickellHouse will also employ a fully-automated robotic parking garage system – the first of its kind in the area – with hi-capacity communication technology and a wealth of green innovations that help minimize residents’ carbon footprints while maximizing comfort and convenience.

With spacious, modern layouts from 500 to 7,000 square feet, including studios; one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom residences and penthouse units, BrickellHouse residences will feature private balconies with expansive bay, ocean and skyline views; 9- to 12-foot ceilings; floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors; sound-reducing, impact resistant glass; and advanced smart-building wiring for HDTV, multiple telephone/data lines and ultra high-speed internet access.
