Related Group, Related Companies Both Reportedly Interested In Resorts World Miami Property

Both Related Group and Related Companies are interested in Genting’s Resorts World Miami, according to the WSJ.

Related Group was founded by Jorge Perez, while Related Companies was founded by Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross.

The two were formerly development partners in Miami for over 40 years, but recently agreed to split.

“We’re always interested in prime, waterfront land,” Related Group president Jon Paul Perez told the paper.

“Yeah, of course I’m interested in it. I don’t know at that price,” Ross reportedly said.

The paper also reported that Related Group and Related Companies have “explored” possibly partnering to bid on the property.

Genting is said to be hoping to get over $1 billion for the site.

One of the first projects that Ross is planning now that the partnership has ended is the One Brickell City Centre supertall tower.

Not really, Hudson Yards has four supertall towers and it’s massive with only half completed. Their is a height limit in the Genting site of only 649 MSL.

What makes Hudson Yards special is the public space, spectacle of the lower designed structures, and connectivity to streamlined walkway/park (Highline).

Good news. The Miami Underline serves that purpose. Phases 2 and 3 are on the way. Public/private partnerships are activated, with possible large scale monument at the end or near the Miami River (TBD) — Miami’s tropical yards.

The HEART is a 33 acre public space on the southern property line of this site. It will extend from the bay to Gibson Park in Overtown. It should be pretty cool.

Oh what could have been!!! I hate to be a pessimist, but I feel like this will get turned into more dull rectangular towers with little connection to one another.

It was a magnificent proposal.
No one at Genting said, “but at what price”. They spared no expense with the megayacht marina, the millions of meeting, ballroom, and resort spaces, thousands of hotel rooms, and an swimming pool that extended from the Biscayne Bay to Biscayne Boulevard. It was incredible.

Ain’t that the truth! Just wait til you see how high that monstrosity is going to be that they’re building at 5th and Alton on Miami Beach. “Total Eclipse of the Beach.”

Let’s put it this way — the grass at the southern end of that silly park that the developers built just north of the building, in exchange for being allowed to build so high, is ALREADY starting to die from being in the shadow of the building, and they’re only up to about the 7th or 8th floor!

That park deal was so stupid. They should’ve just let the developer build two towers on the site, but at half the height. Which would STILL leave them taller than most buildings on SoBe.

The developers never presented a 3D model of the building to the City, just drawn renderings. Seeing a model of it would’ve laid bare the preposterousness of it.

“Total Eclipse of the Beach”

Another “hand wringing” tactic. It’s good you don’t have to worry about anything other than “dying grass” in a park because of some building’s height on this part of Miami Beach.. a place that was built for tourism.

Please pity us regular folks for having many more pressing problems on our minds.

It’s not a matter of room. It’s that residents unanimously would never allow a casino anywhere close to downtown Miami. It’s being cleaned up. Maybe in North Miami Beach, or somewhere with a resort vibe away from the hub.

The Florida Legislature was where the Destination Resort bills died.
Disney didn’t want this competition. The Orlando Convention Center didn’t want this competition. The Downtown Miami Convention Center (now dead) rallied against this competition. The Miami Beach Convention Center rallied against this competitor. Carnival Cruise lines didn’t want NCL (who at the time was 51% owned by Genting) to bundle hotel rooms to cruse voyages, etc.

The Resorts World Destination Resort would have attracted large groups and conventioneers. Crony capitalism was at play, and sadly, the Destination Resort bill did not pass.

Disney leaders are smart enough to know that a Destination Resort is not “a casino”, no more than the Voyager of the Seas cruise ship is a Casino.

Cardiologists who have their conventions in Orlando, bring the family who then goes to the Disney Resorts for the week.
If there were ample meeting space at Resorts World, the Cardiologists’ families would go to the beach.
Disney knows that they can get those useful idiots to think that Resorts World was a casino (which was not), those useful idiots would get very emotional and call their elected officials.

Destination Resorts are economic engines that import money from places far away. The people come for a meeting, conference, or convention, and they leave their money with the waiter, the pool attendant, local restaurant, or Uber driver, then they go home.

People who continue to call that multi-billion dollar project a “casino” simply do not understand money, real estate, or economic development.

Wrong, they had some political backing. Just not enough. Genting was a very big part of the Cruise Ship industry having owned 51% of the second largest cruise company in the world. True, the pari-mutuels didn’t like it, but neither did the Seminoles.

Yes, he is a very nice guy. He doesn’t want the 51% owner of NCL to own and operate 4,000 hotel units within a 4 minute water taxi of the cruise ships.

It’s called crony capitalism. It is why Mickey publicly stated that the problem was “traffic” because he understands that Carnival has owned actual casinos. Mickey used his influence with Young Arts to convince the young and naïve kids that a Destination Resort would be bad for the arts, and convinced them to hold fundraisers and organize. Funny stuff.

Even UM can open a new City Campus here in Miami and develop a few blocks of urban higher education, maybe in adjacent Overtown (like Columbia did).

There’s got to be a new professional field to open a school for here. This would fair well for a mayor looking to be elected.

Can you believe this… there is an NYU campus in West Palm Beach.

This is because you are not educated on real estate development or how property taxes work.

Destination Resorts make money and pay BIG money in property taxes.
Property tax money gets paid to schools.

Educated developers will get the Highest and Best Use from this land to the benefit of schools.

Schools COST money, they do not PAY property taxes. Put schools somewhere else, put marinas, retail, hotels, restaurants, etc on the waterfront.

LOL because all the best schools are located next to casinos? I bet our youth would go broke before they even get a chance to pay off their loans.

Education can directly meet this need. Tuitions bring in revenue and fuel innovation, development and culture.

It is clear that more people in Miami DO need to get educated.
However, I think that you missed the point.

The Genting project proposal included 5,200 hotel rooms among other things.
https://www.thenextmiami.com/full-list-of-every-property-controlled-by-genting-in-downtown-miami/#:~:text=The%20proposal%20included%20six%20LED,a%20total%20of%205%2C200%20rooms.

Forget about the retail, the restaurants, the marina, the condos, etc. for a moment. Let’s have fun with math:
5,200 hotel rooms x 72% occupancy x 365 days in a year x $300 AvgDailyRate x 6% Miami Dade hotel tax = $24,598,080
$25M per year just in the resort taxes.

On those 5,200 hotel rooms alone, the Net Operating Income is about $ $225,482,400 per year and at a 5% capitalization rate, the value of ONLY the hotel part of the assets would be $4.509 Billion in property value. $4.5 Billion would generate about $90,192,960 in Property Taxes to be paid to local community, Miami-Dade County and Miami Dade Schools EVERY YEAR.

Only the 5,200 hotel rooms part in the Resorts World Miami project would generate around $90M PER YEAR in Property Taxes, and $25M a year in Resort Taxes.

You may have thought through your waterfront higher education facility, but I really doubt that. Ask a Tibor Holo School of Real Estate MSIRE Graduate, they can help you understand HABU and why it is important.

Too prime of real estate for a school. Plenty of vacant lots for that in Overtown west of I-95, which is in proximity to Jackson Memorial Hospital (medical and pharmaceutical opportunities). Even better if MDC sells all their downtown holdings and relocates too, and it’s only a few Metrorail stops away.

It is not that higher education isn’t “deserving” of prime real estate, it is not the highest and best use of THAT prime real estate.

Neither NYU nor Washington Park is on waterfront property with a deep water cut to the ocean. NYU is about 10 east of the Hudson River. Similarly, your utopian higher education idea could go 10 blocks from the Biscayne Bay waterfront, in the middle of Overtown on Gibson Park.

In NY prime real estate is near a metro stop not the water. They have low income projects on the water, in the LES, but not advocating to model afrer NY – just saying there’s different paradigms and it’s not a one size fits all. Granted Miami has
More beautiful waterfront, but that’s why a schoool on the water could inspire generations to come. Miami already has condo after condo on the water.
