Truly defining “optimal development,” Aventura Optima Plaza, rising at 21500 Biscayne Boulevard, recently hosted a festive topping- off ceremony celebrating near completion of Aventura’s newest Class A, LEED Gold designed office/medical building developed by the prestigious Mexican firm Arquitectos Brom Asociados in association with Behar Font and Partners.
Business and community leaders sharing optimistic predictions that Aventura Optima Plaza will “make business a pleasure” in a very environmentally friendly way were greeted by developers Ariel Bromberg and Jose Bromberg;Moises Gorin, Managing Member of Maor Consulting, LLC, who heads construction for the project and Randy Olen, Executive Vice President of Colliers International South Florida – the building’s exclusive leasing agent.
Expressing appreciation to all those who helped ensure the exciting opportunity to build Aventura Optima Plaza comes to fruition, Ariel Bromberg said, “This celebration is the culmination of many years of work by a dedicated group of individuals who participated in our quest to bring a Gold LEED certified building to the City of Aventura. We searched long and hard before deciding on this site for our first venture in the United States. Previously, our focus has been in Mexico City, where we’ve developed several similar projects. We extend our gratitude to the Aventura City Commission and city staff for helping us go forward with Aventura Optima Plaza.”
During the event, members of the Aventura City Commission concurred the city’s reputation for excellence and opulence will be enhanced by Aventura Optima Plaza. “We’re so proud you’ve chosen Aventura for this LEED Gold building,” Mayor Susan Gottlieb said. “We hope it ‘leads the way’ and sets a green initiative example for our neighbors. Thank you for your vision!”
Aventura Optima Plaza’s Gold LEED design (Leadership in Energy Engineering and Design) reflects one of the highest recognized standards measuring building sustainability. It will be the first building in South Florida to be built with a double skin facade, which includes special hurricane glazing. The project will also display decorative solar panels on the south side building facade which will produce 48 KV of electricity daily.
Conveniently optimizing accessibility, Aventura Optima Plaza fronts Biscayne Boulevard and is comprised of a ninestory office tower and four-story medical building connected by a covered parking structure featuring a 20,000-SF rooftop facility with a jogging path, landscaping and exercise rooms. In addition, it will feature a connecting fifth level terrace with outdoor seating area which will include a water feature, reclaimed wood decks and landscaping.
