I see. I really like Surfside. It has a nostalgic yet edgy feel to it. Paradoxical, but true.

When you get into town, a roundtable discussion regarding all aspects of Miami’s urban development should be organized. I know a few people who’d probably be interested in participating and would be excellent contributors.

When I said ‘live there’, I just meant South Florida. I’ll be living in Surfside, west side of Collins, for at least the first year, but I do believe that anywhere in the vicinity of Miami is living the high life.

That's awesome James. It appears that you will be living the high life my friend. Solis has equipment on site and has begun foundation work. I'm not sure what the legal status is. 400 Sunny Isles is not seeing activity yet. Have you heard about Park Place on the Ocean? Very nice project. In Sunny Isles, there isn't much in the way of west side activity yet, with the exception of St. Tropez. The area is shaping up to be something else. Its not hard to see why you're excited J.

I got all excited with the tone of your writing. It was such a nice invitation. ‘Let’s take a tour.’ I don’t live there yet but will in 3 months. I hope we get the chance to meet after I arrive.

Great to see the progress. I heard that Solis was held up by a lawsuit? Any info.

What about 400 Sunny Isles, know if that will go forward or not, or what about the buildings in the future for the West side of Collins.

As always thanks for keeping me up to date and satiated til I can get there. It’s great!

James
