Nick Jonas Brings Rooftop Tequila Bar To Downtown’s Miami Worldcenter Posted on February 14, 2024March 7, 2024 by Sarah Elles Boggs Calling all Miami tequila aficionados! Jonas Brothers superstar Nick Jonas has teamed up with menswear designer John Varvatos to announce Villa One Tequila Gardens, a chic speakeasy-style tequila bar that is set to open on the rooftop of the Miami Worldcenter Jewel Box at 150 NE 8th Street in Downtown Miami. Villa One Tequila Gardens restaurant and bar is designed by Mexico City-based KOM Studios and pays homage to the rich culture of Mexico. Throughout the 13,000 square foot indoor/outdoor restaurant and bar guests will find vibrant colors, Mexican textures and materials that are reminiscent of top destinations in Mexico such as Tulum, with views of the beautiful Downtown Miami skyline. Rendering of Villa One Bar Miami Worldcenter Inside the main dining room, the duo has planned a raw bar and tequila tasting room that offers more than 160 tequilas and mezcals curated by a tequila sommelier. The menu will embraces the colorful Baja-stye cuisine and cocktails. Some offerings such as the old fashioned, carajillo and canarito are prepared tableside. The Villa One brand was formed in 2019 when Nick Jonas and John Varvatos introduced their successful tequila concept with Stoli Distillers. Since then, they have expanded the brand to include a fully-immersive experience with the Tequila Gardens outposts. This will be the brand’s fourth location alongside Las Vegas, San Diego, and Los Angeles (opening soon). “Villa One Tequila Gardens will create a unique entertainment destination within Miami Worldcenter with a special rooftop experience unlike anything else in downtown,” says Nitin Motwani, managing partner of Miami Worldcenter Associates. “Fusing Mexican-inspired cocktails and cuisine with modern Miami sophistication, guests will be transported to an exotic destination within Downtown’s dynamic urban core.” Rendering of Villa One Bar Miami Worldcenter Lounge About Miami Worldcenter Opening in 2025, Villa One Tequila Gardens will join an ever-growing list of retailers and entertainment establishments at Miami Worldcenter such as Container Store, Savage X Fenty, Lululemon, Sephora, and Ray-Ban as well as Juvia, Starbucks, Chicago’s Maple & Ash, Serafina, Sweet Paris Creperie & Café, Earls Kitchen + Bar, Sixty Vines, Brasserie Laurel, Chug’s Express, El Vecino Cigar & Cocktail Bar, Bowlero, and a dual-concept location for BurgerFi/Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza & Wings.

Paramount Miami Worldcenter Receives TCO | CLOSINGS BEGIN AUGUST 12TH Posted on August 1, 2019 by Michael Light After nearly 5 years of anticipation, Paramount Miami, the signature condo tower within Miami Worldcenter, has received its first Temporary Certificate of Occupancy (TCO) and closings will begin in approximately 2 weeks during the week of August 12th. This 1st TCO includes all floors up to and including the 37th floor, therefore, all units located on floor 37 and below will begin closings on August 12th. The second TCO is expected within a month so that closings may begin for units located on floors 38 and above to begin in late September. See below, a letter directly from the developer’s contract coordinator regarding TCO and closings. As my readers know, I have believed and advocated for this project since way back in 2009, which is why I have sold nearly a dozen condos at Paramount Miami Worldcenter. So, if you are interested in learning more about the project or purchasing a unit at Paramount Miami, there are still exceptional opportunities in the building even though it is nearly 90% sold out. Please contact Michael Light for an exclusive presentation. You may reach Michael directly at (786) 566-1700 or via email at michael@miamiluxuryhomes.com.

Paramount Miami Worldcenter Tops off 700-FT Condo Tower Posted on August 11, 2018August 11, 2018 by Michael Light Picture Source: World Red Eye Paramount Miami Worldcenter has completed vertical construction of its 700-foot ultra-luxe condo tower in the heart of Downtown Miami, and the developers celebrated by hosting a top-off party for its over 550 construction workers who made this iconic tower possible, complimented by a beautiful, United-Nations-like display of flags. Hats off to the developers of Paramount Miami Worldcenter, Art Falcone, Nitin Motwani and Dan Kodsi, for hosting a more humble top-off ceremony by celebrating the project’s general contractor, CoastalTishman along with the construction workers, engineers and sub-contractors who were responsible for the down and dirty work of building this monumental tower situated in the nearly 30-acre urban development in the epicenter of Downtown Miami. The people responsible for building the tower celebrated with a ceremonial on-site luncheon, which is quite different than the usual top-off ceremonies that most other luxury projects host entailing super flashy decor, high-priced entertainment and award-winning chefs. Source: World Red Eye | Paramount Miami Worldcenter Top-Off Ceremony Source: World Red Eye | Paramount Miami Worldcenter Top-Off Ceremony The colorful display of 50 flags from around the world that was streaming outside of Paramount Miami for the top-off represented all of the countries from which the buyers of this iconic project hail. This display highlights the diversity of the Paramount Miami condo buyer, and in fact, the developers claim that its residential development has more international buyers than any other single residential building in the country.

MLH Exclusive – Paramount Miami Sales Breakdown and Redesign Update Posted on December 16, 2016 by Michael Light We have a lot of important new updates about Paramount Miami Worldcenter…yes, it is 55% sold, but we have the actual sales breakdown, AND a brand new “presentation” with the significant information about the “redesign” of the project. Last Friday, one of my clients who has purchased multiple units in the building and I visited the sales gallery to receive a full overview of specific details and changes to the project. Paramount Miami Worldcenter is 55% Sold Paramount Miami has 55% of its units under hard contracts with money in escrow. The Breakdown… Of all sales at Paramount Miami Worldcenter, the split is equal, 50% of the units sold are on the west side of the building and 50% of the units sold are on the east side of the building. Percentage of Units Sold to Date at Paramount Miami Worldcenter To further breakdown the sold inventory by east vs. west side, 61% of all east-facing units have been sold and 53% of all west-facing units have been sold. *Please note that the east side of the building has 6 units per floor and the west side of the building has 7 units per floor. Percentage of Units Sold to Date at Paramount Miami Worldcenter – East vs. West Side Even further, lets drill down to look at high floors vs. low floors sold in quadrants…from floors 10-25 on the east side of the building 58% of that inventory has been sold and from floors 26-45 on the east side of the building 68% of that inventory has been sold. *Below, we explain that an 8th and 9th floor has just recently been added to the building, which may slightly skew these numbers. Sales Distribution on the East Side of Paramount Miami Worldcenter – High vs. Low Floors From floors 10-25 on the west side of the building 68% of that inventory has been sold and from floors 26-45 on the west side of the building 45% of that inventory has been sold. *Below, we explain that an 8th and 9th floor has just recently been added to the building, which may slightly skew these numbers. Sales Distribution on the West Side of Paramount Miami Worldcenter – High vs. Low Floors Redesign of Paramount Miami Worldcenter Everything has been in flux over the past year since an announcement of the “redesign” to the retail portion of Miami Worldcenter was announced. Since Paramount Miami sits atop Miami Worldcenter, any changes to Miami Worldcenter certainly would impact Paramount Miami. The redesign will bring the following 3 major changes to Paramount Miami Worldcenter: Addition of New Amenities Addition of 2 full floors of residences (8th & 9th floor) PRIVATE parking garage for residents of Paramount Miami Explanation… The change from a traditional box mall to a high-street retail, Lincoln Road-type shopping center has impacted the height of Miami Worldcenter. Miami Worldcenter was originally planned to be 120-feet high, but has been redesigned to be 90-feet high. This impacts the amenity level for Paramount Miami which originally sat on the 9th floor, or 120 feet above street level and will now sit on the 7th floor, or 90 feet above street level. Most wouldn’t consider this much of a change but the first question that comes to mind is, does the condo tower and all units in it now sit 30′ lower than originally designed? The answer is NO…the height of Paramount Miami has not changed. With the amenity level originally on the 9th floor, units in the tower began on the 10th floor. What the developer of Paramount Miami has done is added 2 full levels of units on the 8th and 9th floors since the amenity level is now on the 7th floor. Furthermore, the height change allowed the developers to add a lower level of amenities that were not originally in the plans. This is how the developer was able to add a full business center, yoga studio, half-court basketball court and a racquetball court on the lower levels, not to mention that the developer also snuck in a super cool observatory and a game room with a golf simulator. Below, you will find an updated breakdown of all amenities now being offered in the building with “The Most Amenities in the World!” Updated Amenities at Paramount Miami Worldcenter 7th Floor Amenity Deck at Paramount Miami Worldcenter Upper Deck Amenity Level at Paramount Miami Worldcenter SkyDeck Amenity Level at Paramount Miami Worldcenter Also, a HUGE major improvement to Paramount Miami is that all residents will be able to park within the actual residence tower, exclusive ONLY to residents. Originally, the parking for both the residential tower and the retail portion shared a parking garage. Now, with the high-street retail splitting the building, the parking garages have been separated. DOWNLOAD THE BRAND-NEW UPDATED PARAMOUNT MIAMI BROCHURE Why Paramount Miami Worldcenter??? As most of you know, I have been a big proponent of Paramount Miami Worldcenter since its launch in November of 2014. In fact, we have written about the project over 30 times, operate www.ParamountMiamiCondos.com and have sold many, many units to clients from around the globe. I am asked all the time why it is one of my favorite projects in Miami, and my answer has always been the same, it will forever change the face of Miami. Too many agents have varying opinions of what is the “best” project in Miami, “best” views, “best” value, etc. I am not saying Paramount Miami is the “best,” what I am saying is that it will forever transform Miami. Miami Worldcenter, which Paramount Miami sits atop, encompasses 28 acres of land. It is so big, that it is only 2nd in size in the U.S. to Hudson Yards in NYC. In fact, the developers of this mega-project have been working on the assemblage of the land necessary to complete Miami Worldcenter for over 15 years. Nowhere in any other major metropolitan city in America are you able to assemble this much contiguous land to put together a project like this. If you, or someone you know, are interested in purchasing at Paramount Miami Worldcenter, please contact Michael Light.
