A Miami-based group appears to be considering development of a WoodSpring Suites hotel near the Bentley dealership planned along Bonneval Road. Gold Coast Premier Properties is indicated in city documents as the developer of a proposed 122room, four-story hotel on 2.19 acres along Bonneval Road. The city issued a mobility fee calculation certificate and a conditional capacity availability statement for the 49,250-square-foot project, which is off Butler Boulevard near Interstate 95. It calculated a fee of $223,726 to mitigate the traffic impact. The property is owned by Miami-based MNAR - Real Estate Holdings LLC, whose manager is Mario Murgado, the Bentley dealer. England-Thims & Miller Inc. is the civil engineer. Murgado, president and CEO of Miami-based Brickell Motors and Miami Automotive Retail Inc., bought a 7.5-acre site in February, where he intends to develop the dealership. He also bought a 1.5-acre site SEE MATHIS, PAGE 2
Diesel Barbershop to Town Center Diesel Barbershop, a San Antonio-based chain that calls itself “a man cave for great haircuts,” intends to open this summer in Gateway Village at Town Center. “The look and feel of Diesel Barbershop is part barbershop, part salon, part old school record store, part mechanics garage, part tattoo shop, and part vintage arcade,” says dieselbarbershop.com. The website lists 19 shops open or under construction, including Naples, where prices start at $5 for a basic beard trim, $35 for a cut and shampoo and $60 for a cut and shave. A full face and head shave starts at $80. North Florida developer Eric Bauer is the franchise owner.
