While at Claro Development, the team was tasked by the Faena Group to manage the entitlement approvals process for the major new buildings that form the Faena District. Faena Properties, well known for its rejuvenation of the landmark Faena Hotel in Buenos Aires, has brought that sense of excitement to the Mid-Beach area of Miami Beach. The center of activity is the restored Saxony Hotel as a Faena Hotel property, complete with a signature dinner theater cabaret, restaurants, and luxury spa.

​

The team was involved  from initial concept planning through entitlements and document development. The project was broken down into smaller components with a master development plan to track the progress of the individual projects in relation to the overall endeavor. An emphasis on city relationship building, neighborhood outreach and quality design intent allowed the project to move quickly and efficiently through all of the initial phases, while the project phases were developed simultaneously, right down to on-site construction.
