The Everglades Foundation and the Urban League of Greater Miami Launch the 'Power of Water' Educational Initiative to Reach Schools and Families in Liberty City More than 80 kids participated in the launch of an educational initiative to teach kids and their families in Liberty City about the power of water as a natural resource. The Everglades Foundation and the Urban League of Greater Miami hosted the launch of the "Power of Water" educational initiative on Oct. 19 at the Samuel K. Johnson Youth Center at Charles Hadley Park in Liberty City. The outreach program aims to educate future generations about the value of water from the Everglades for their health, their environment, and their communities.

"It's so important to educate our youth about the critical role that water plays in their lives, and we are proud to partner with the Urban League of Greater Miami to launch this educational outreach," said Eric Eikenberg, chief executive officer of The Everglades Foundation. "Everyone in Miami-Dade County should understand that their freshwater comes from the Everglades, and it's a precious natural resource that needs to be protected."

The event featured an interactive educational activity about the Everglades ecosystem taught to a group of K-5 students from the Liberty City Optimist Club by The Everglades Foundation's education team.

"Kids need to understand that it's important to stay healthy and hydrated with water," said T. Willard Fair, president and CEO of the Urban League of Greater Miami. "We are thrilled to partner with The Everglades Foundation to help us engage with our community inside and outside our schools."

The "Power of Water" campaign can be seen around Liberty City on bus wraps, bus benches, and at convenience stores. There will also be Everglades Literacy educational events at public schools in Liberty City. The "Power of Water" campaign is supported by Wells Fargo, Florida Blue, the Green Family Foundation, Cornelia T. Bailey Foundation, and the Gerald A. & Karen A. Kolschowsky Foundation.

DIESEL WYNWOOD ACHIEVES NEW SALES MILESTONE MIAMI Diesel Wynwood Condominium, the first Diesel-branded luxury residential development in the world, announces that nearly half of the boutique building’s 159 units have gone into contract and the building is now over 40 percent sold. Among the deals in contract include nearly $5 million in cryptocurrency transactions, as well as the sale of $2.5 million penthouse, which sets a new price record in Wynwood. Diesel Wynwood Condominium, which launched sales in November 2021, has seen growing interest from cryptonaires, tech titans, artists, and locals alike.

The building is expected to break ground in Q4 2022. “The sales momentum at Diesel Wynwood is a testament to Miami’s booming real estate market and buyers’ appetite for bold spaces and cutting-edge design,” said John “Jake” Lecce, sales manager for Diesel Wynwood Condominium. “This unconventional building in the heart of one of Miami’s most vibrant neighborhoods provides buyers with a rare opportunity to own, and live in, a unique art piece.” Developed by Bel Invest, Diesel Wynwood Condominium converges casual luxury with a playful design offering residences ranging from micro-studios to three-bedrooms, with diverse floor plans between 395 and 4,105 square feet. In addition, the building features 14 premium penthouses equipped with high-end, exclusive materials and finishes, and private rooftops with the option for an added kitchen and jacuzzi.

Each unit includes extra-high ceilings, up to 11 feet, dressed in finished concrete. It’s also the first time the parent brand’s full furniture line, Diesel Living, is offering end-to-end design options. Buyers can opt for turnkey residences with exclusive collections consisting of Moroso furniture, Lodes lighting, Scavolini kitchen and bathrooms, IRIS tiles, Berti wood flooring, Seletti home accessories and Mirabello Carrara home linens. Designed by Zyscovich Architects, the building echoes the dynamism of its Wynwood surroundings. The façade incorporates a neon sculptural edifice that celebrates living boldly and seamlessly carries into the eclectic interior areas. The building also infuses ecoconsciousness and urban sustainability, seeking LEED and WELL Certifications.

Amenities at Diesel Wynwood include a rooftop pool deck and lounge; a state-of-the-art fitness center; wine cellar with event space; Europeaninspired spa; sensory room; aromatherapy stations; and more.

Earlier this year, Diesel Wynwood Condominium partnered with West Realm Shires Services Inc. (“FTX US”), a leading U.S.-regulated cryptocurrency platform, to serve as a provider for handling digital currency conversions for the project's residential sales deposits and transactions.

Wynwood continues to be a sought-after neighborhood in Miami famed for its vibrant culture, art galleries, music, nightlife, dining, and most recently, its thriving tech scene.

Residences are priced from $500,000 to $7 million, with exclusive sales representation by ONE Sotheby’s International Realty.
