Chinese are now going to Miami

Miami has its Little Havana and Little Haiti, a neighborhood known as Westonzuela and even the Venetian Islands. What lacks is a Chinatown.
Shan Jie Li wants to do something about it. The real estate developer in the city of Linyi in windy area of ​​northeast China, plans to transform the most populous metropolitan area in Florida, with its clean beaches and its tropical climate, a destination for Chinese property investors.
"We are thinking of bringing Miami to the new wave of wealthy and educated Chinese," Li said in a telephone interview with the help of a translator. "The environment in Miami invites a very nice lifestyle. Play golf and going to the beach are attractive important. "
While Miami recovery from the financial crisis was driven by South Americans who bought empty apartments, the city today lays eyes on Beijing to support growth. The Chinese have become one of the fastest growing segments among foreign buyers, according to the Association of Realtors of Miami, in a time when the weakening of the peso, the Brazilian real and the Russian ruble discourages investment other countries.
New Museums
From the most difficult times of crisis, when the rates of vacant properties in the city center rose to 60 percent, cranes returned to the horizon and property values ​​rose. A museum of modern art from US $ 131 million funded by Jorge Pérez, the billionaire owner of Related Group, opened in 2013; next is building a science museum, next to the waterfront of the Bay of Biscay.
Latin American buyers accounted for 62 percent of purchases in Miami last year, led by Venezuela, Argentina, Brazil and Colombia, according to the Association of Realtors. This helped lead the median home price to US $ 276,000 in December, up 54 percent compared with US $ 179,000 in late 2011, according to Zillow.com, a website properties.
"We have a significant number of Chinese buyers; yet less than 5 percent of the total, but growing, "Perez said. After giving a recent lecture to students at the University of Miami, Chinese parents of a student bought $ 20 million in real estate, he said.
"Russia had it been a good source of buyers, particularly in places near the beach, but now it is declining," he added. "I have no idea if the South Americans continue to buy as before."
Sales in Beijing
Armando Codina, chief executive officer of the real estate developer Codina Partners, wastes no time. He sent a representative to Beijing to bolster sales of its project Downtown Doral $ 1,000 million, northwest of Miami-Dade County.
"We are seeing an activity of Chinese buyers we had not expected," said Codina, born in Cuba. "The Chinese are enthusiastic about this project in two seconds, because they have seen the emergence cities of nowhere".
Shortage of noodles
If only there were more stores that sell noodles.
"There are not enough restaurants, supermarkets and Chinese in Miami spas", Li, director of American Da Tang Group, member of the State China Communications Construction Co. "These are challenges to overcome said. We include new restaurants and services that meet the tastes of Chinese as any other. "
However, there are still skeptics.
While the Chinese media have been promoting to Miami as a real estate destination -a publication said Chinese investors are "flooding" the city-, figures from the Association of Realtors show that still represent a fraction of purchases: 3 percent. The expansion in the second largest economy in the world is the slowest in 25 years.

Shakira relist her villa to sell in Miami

We know, from the chronicles estate of which we often speak, that even for Vip times are not exactly rosy and that even millionaires must reckon with the market trend of the brick . It is news these days that Shakira has been forced to revise downward , albeit not by much, the price of the villa which has put on sale a year ago and that is still unsold.

 It is a veritable palace, certainly not from Gipsy , just 60 meters from the beaches of Miami , with outdoor swimming pool and private dock. The singer had bought the villa in 2001 for "only" $ 3.3 million and now its value was more than quadrupled. A year ago the demand was 14.5 million dollars , now it's down to 13. Of course the changes to the baseline condition were important and have broadened the ownership of approximately 160 square meters adding several bedrooms and bathrooms.

Today the house is larger than 900 square meters and has seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms. All the villa is paved with a fine light wood flooring laid in the kitchen. And the kitchen is the part of the house where you can see more than elsewhere, the desire not to miss anything since it is equipped just like that of a chef.
And if to justify spending so high this is not enough, then it is good to know that in North Bay, part of Miami Beach where is the house for sale, the neighborhood is more than respectable. A few steps from the beautiful villa, in fact, live two other international stars from the Latin blood as Shakira, Jennifer Lopez and Ricky Martin , and one of the most famous Hollywood actors, Matt Damon .
