Florida Pre Construction - Lynx Condos in Downtown Miami

Click here to download Letter Of Interest.

Two of the biggest names in architecture are crafting new creations in Miami-Dade County: World-renowned architect Richard Meier of New York and the sons of I.M. Pei are designing works for Lynx Strategic Development, the new sister company to Rodrigo Niño's Prodigy International Development Sales.

Both Meier and the Pei sons would be working with local architects - Kobi Karp and Chad Oppenheim, respectively. The projects are in downtown Miami and Surfside.

Niño and partner Ian Ludmir have a $22 million contract on a parking lot parcel next to the colorfully lit Bank of America Tower at International Place, formerly known as the CenTrust Tower and designed by I.M. Pei.

Now the sons of the famed Chinese architect have designed a $300 million, mixed-use building for Lynx that has a pair of towers rising from a multi-level platform at South Miami Avenue and Southeast Second Street. Each tower boasts three facades and the unnamed project would house a blend of offices, retail, residences and hotel units under the preliminary designs by Pei Partnership Architects.

"We want very much to contribute something of enduring value," said L.C. (Sandy) Pei, principal of New York City-based Pei Partnership with brother C.C. (Didi) Pei. "We are looking forward to developing with Chad Oppenheim on something that hasn't been done before."

Pei had worked on the former CenTrust building with his father and said the new project is designed as a "city within a city" that respects the iconic tower next door.

"It's intended to be a fragmented composition, sort of an arrangement of buildings that orient themselves to some of the principal views of the city," he said.

The downtown project promises to be a "very high-impact, high-design project with a lot of glass, sort of a signature style fused with a little Pei," Oppenheim said. It could have up to 450 condos, 200 hotel rooms and another 200 condo-hotel units, plus about 80,000 square feet of office space, he said.

Oppenheim noted that one of the reasons he went into architecture was the work of I.M. Pei.

"It's definitely fantastic for me to be considered at that level and work with his sons on an equal basis," he said.

Replacing the Beach House Hotel
Meanwhile, a $170 million, 12-story condominium by Richard Meier & Partners could replace the Beach House Hotel in Surfside formerly owned by the Rubell family. Meier has been recognized with the Pritzker Architecture Prize, one of his industry's highest honors, and his finalist designs for the World Trade Center site. This would be his first project in Miami.

"We look at this as a great honor," Karp said. "It creates an opportunity to bring Miami even further into the international forefront of architecture and design."

The concept for the Beach House is "clean, sleek and modern," Karp said.

Niño and Ludmir are heading a group of investors from Chile, Venezuela and Colombia in a venture called Beach House Property that bought the hotel on Collins Avenue in August for $26.45 million. The Rubell family still operates the hotel and plans to tear down the property are a year away.

Life after Fortune International
Both projects are the brainchild of Niño, Ludmir and Senior VP Jorge Brugo, who is credited with bringing in Meier and the Pei sons. All three had previously worked for Fortune International in Miami. Niño said that Brugo was tapped as a Lynx partner this week.

It was just over a year ago that Niño left his job as VP of development sales at Fortune International and started his own third-party sales organization.

"It was just me with my laptop that I bought at Best Buy with my personal credit card," he said. Quickly, Niño had his first client - one from his former Fortune life - Brickell on the River. Then came Spiaggia in Surfside, Solé on the Ocean in Sunny Isles Beach and Solaris in the Brickell area. Recent projects include Paramount Park on Biscayne Boulevard and the Racquet Club & Marina in North Bay Village, plus redevelopments of South Beach's Roney Palace and Aventura's Bay Club.

Today, he handles a real estate inventory worth $1.5 billion. Prodigy has grown to 32 employees and serves a network of more than 40,000 brokers.

"This surpassed my wildest dreams," Niño said.

Niño believes third-party sales organizations shouldn't get deeply involved in development.

"Maybe I'm a pre-developer," he said. "No, no, I'm just a landlord.
