FRONT RUNNER The Ocean Beach Realty Company opened in Miami Beach in 1912, paving the way for the development of what is now South Beach.

Here Comes tHe Boom

A snapshot of today’s booming Miami skyline—and the cranes building it—is indicative of the city’s layered history encompassing over a century of real estate development. More than 100 years ago, one real estate firm, the Ocean Beach Realty Company, started it all and helped create the city we know today as Miami Beach.

In 1911, a group of visionaries had converged around the idea that Miami Beach could be the country’s next greatest tourism destination. Land developer, businessman, and agriculturalist John S. Collins had begun developing various orchards along the Miami Beach peninsula; his son-in-law, T.J. Pancoast, relocated from New Jersey to support the developments.

“Mr. Collins’s idea was to pattern it after Atlantic City, NJ, as Atlantic City at that time was the summer playground of the United States, and to make this the winter playground,” said Arthur Pancoast, Collins’s grandson, in the book The Magic of Miami Beach. “From that point on, of course, his showmanship and salesmanship took over, and the city has gradually evolved until it really is fabulous.”

76 oceandrive.com

Collins quickly realized the potential for Miami Beach, and with Pancoast, and funds from two local banks headed by brothers J.N. and J.E. Lummus, began construction on the Collins Toll Bridge to connect downtown Miami to the Beach. Then, with half of the bridge completed— and out of funds—the Lummus brothers left their positions in finance for a more lucrative venture in real estate and created the Ocean Beach Realty Company, pictured here in 1912. They snapped up 605 acres of swamp land from what is today’s South of Fifth neighborhood to Lincoln Road, paying anywhere from $150 to $12,500 per acre, starting what would one day be known as South Beach.

A year later, in 1913, Collins was able to complete his toll bridge, allowing residents to come to and from Miami Beach, thus launching a flurry of real estate action. Today, a multitude of real estate developers plan, build, and sell some of the world’s most sought-after projects in this oceanfront community, upholding the vision Collins, the Lummus brothers, and Ocean Beach Realty Company had for Miami Beach.

Before anyone else was selling a dream with an ocean view, there was Ocean Beach Realty cOmpany, miami’s first full-service realtors. by chelsea harrington

FRONT RUNNER Spanish tennis star Arantxa Sánchez Vicario posing outside in South Beach’s Art Deco District during what was then known as the Lipton Championships, March 1995.

Double life

Hitting the Deco district in a pink convertible while decked in big shoulder pads isn’t something you might think to do at Wimbledon, but it proved a perfect whimsical antidote to the pressures of the court for Spanish tennis star Arantxa Sánchez Vicario, who was here in Miami in 1995 to try to win back a championship title. Miami’s laid-back subtropical environment, quaint architecture, and beach culture have become part of what makes the Miami Open, presented by Itaú, one of the most unique sporting events of the year.

Miami and tennis go hand in hand, and it’s why everyone from Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova to Venus and Serena Williams, Anna Kournikova, and Sánchez Vicario, to name just a few, has taken up residence in South Florida. When acclaimed tennis pro Butch Buchholz established the event (then the Lipton International Players Championships) in 1985, little did anyone know how important and grand it would become. The prize money has since bloomed to over $10 million, making the Miami Open one of the most prestigious titles in professional tennis and unofficially the “Fifth Slam.”

78 oceandrive.com

At the tournament, some of the sport’s best have not only made names for themselves but also made history. It was here in 1998 that Marcelo Ríos became the first Latin-American man to reach number one in the world after he beat Andre Agassi in the finals. And the third round of a 2004 match (renamed Nasdaq-100 Open at the time) would mark the beginning of the epic Roger Federer-Rafael Nadal rivalry.

As much as fans and spectators can look forward to passion and recordbreaking moments on the court, so too can they expect casual run-ins with players at local restaurants, bars, and hotels. In the past, it wouldn’t have been surprising to bump into Pete Sampras dining beachside or Agassi catching a few rays. As the event has gotten bigger and changed names, crowds have grown to more than 300,000 and players like Williams and Andy Murray have now captured the spotlight. The one thing that remains constant in the tournament is its alluring blend, the mixing of the palm trees, sun, on-thecourt intensity, and the off-the-court carnival that is Miami. OD

Letter from the editor-in-Chief

With artist Michele Oka Doner at Niche Media’s fifth annual Women in Arts luncheon at Katsuya.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MIAMI BEACH! Yes, on March 26, 1915, Miami Beach was born. And aren’t we lucky it was. Whether you live here or are just visiting, it truly is one of the most beautiful places in America. And right now, it’s no secret that our town is hugely popular, and its star power will be showcased during a multiday fête called Miami Beach 100 Hour Centennial Celebration. Only in Miami Beach could we party for 100 straight hours, as part of a nonstop celebration featuring the world’s longest fashion runway, a concours car show, and a free oceanside concert with some of the world’s biggest names. It’s all part of a wild month that also includes the Miami Tennis Open, the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship, Miami Beach Polo World Cup, Ultra, and Winter Music Festival.

At Ocean Drive, we’re celebrating by featuring a gorgeous and talented entertainer who spent much of her formative years here—Zoë Kravitz. It was 24 years ago, in 1991, that her dad, rocker Lenny Kravitz, released the song “Flowers for Zoë” on his first top-40 album, Mama Said. As a teenager, it was one of the first (and only) CDs I owned, and I must have listened to it a thousand times. This was in the pre-Internet days,

so there was no way to look up who this “Zoë” was, but judging by the lyrics— “Flowers for Zoë, Love for Zoë, Angels and rainbows, All kinds of things you can call your own, Gardens for Zoë, And oceans for Zoë, Jungle gym playgrounds, All kinds of things for you to explore”—it was clear this was a child near and dear to his heart. Of course it was his daughter. And that daughter would grow up in Miami, attend Miami Country Day School, and, well, the rest is history.

Looks like there was plenty of love, flowers, rainbows, and gardens for Zoë after all. She grew up dancing to the beat of her own drum, and this fashionistaturned-lead singer of the band Lolawolf also stars in this month’s Insurgent; then in May, watch for her in the blockbuster Mad Max: Fury Road.

We’re happy to be rocking right here with her and all through the month of March. So as they say in the grand finale of “Happy Birthday”: “And many more...”

Edition; with Shelley Golden at a Château d’Esclans happy hour hosted by Ocean Drive and La Nuit en Rosé at The Miami Beach Edition.

This month, we once again welcome the biggest DJs, producers, and artists in the electronic dance music industry to our town from March 24 to 28 for the 30th anniversary of the Winter Music Conference, and March 27 to 29 for another year of Ultra Music Festival. As we do so, we’d also like to say farewell to Alex Omes, cofounder of Ultra and one of Miami’s most prominent music figures. Omes was integral in pioneering this city’s electronic music scene, subsequently making Miami the international EDM destination it is today. Omes’s charisma, vision, and dedication to this city will be dearly missed, and we thank him for all he has done in the short time he was with us.

Our condolences go out to his family.

You’ll find March cover star Zoë Kravitz in the pages of our issue rocking spring’s edgiest styles. The multitalented actress-musician has been busy working on various projects, the latest of which, Insurgent, is out this month.

She’s already made a name for herself in music as the vocalist of Lolawolf—we can’t wait to watch as her movie career skyrockets.

Come the end of the month, we’ll all head over to Key Biscayne for the Miami Open from March 25 to April 5 to watch defending champs Novak Djokovic and Serena Williams as they attempt to claim the 2015 title.

Hope to see you around…

Becky Randel Writer A Miami-based freelance writer and copywriter originally from chilly Connecticut, Becky Randel is a frequent contributor to people, w magazine, about.com, thedailymeal.com, and more. She is greatly outnumbered at home, where she lives with her husband, two young sons, and a male puggle. Randel profiles the legendary “Bryan Brothers” tennis team and writes about this month’s FIA Formula E race. “As a coastal city, Miami needs to be constantly aware of global change,” she says. “Using sport to bring these issues to light was a brilliant idea. We are also a perfect platform, as we host visitors from around the world at all times.”

The author of Assouline’s the surf club, which details the history of the iconic social club during the glory days of Miami Beach, Tom Austin cowrote this month’s feature on the 100-year anniversary of Miami Beach. In the mid-1980s, as the social reporter for the Miami herald, he covered charity balls in Miami Beach, including a Fontainebleau benefit with a Frank Sinatra concert. “In 1995, arts impresario Judy Drucker, working with Charlie Cinnamon, presented a free afternoon concert with Luciano Pavarotti on the beach, at 10th Street and Collins Avenue. More than 120,000 people attended, and it was the most beautiful South Beach event imaginable.”

Austin’s work has also appeared in w, interview, paper, the london sunday times Magazine, and the new york times.

Stories about immigrants chasing the American Dream, coming to the United States and making an empire out of a few dollars and the sheer will to succeed, abound in the fashion industry.

Menswear designer Ike Behar is one such story.

Behar’s eponymous brand was launched in New York City in 1952, when Behar had just $50 in his pocket. Since then, it’s grown to include countless wholesale accounts and several freestanding concept stores, such as the recently opened boutique in Merrick Park.

“Craftsmanship is paramount in everything we do at Ike Behar,” says Joshua Behar, a third-generation member of the business. “My grandfather began this business as an apprentice to his father, who was a master tailor in Cuba. The qualities of one-of-a-kind and custom-made pieces were ingrained into Ike from his earliest experiences, and as such, our product offerings always aspire to the look of custom-made.” continued on page 112

A look from Ike Behar.

For spring, the brand debuts a palette inspired by natural dyes and whimsical colors like peacock blue and soft rose quartz.

Ike enlisted in the Korean War, during which time he met his wife and the company’s cofounder, Regina. At first, Ike enjoyed success as a New York City tailor shop owner. Another enterprising businessman named Ralph Lauren was so impressed with his skills that he approached Ike in the 1970s to help him expand his tie business to shirting.

Twenty years ago, Ike moved operations—and his family—to South Florida, where he continues to run his empire.

“Our finest custom shirts are still made here in Miami,” says Joshua of the line, which is regularly seen on Hollywood’s biggest stars, including Brad Pitt, Jamie Foxx, and Bradley Cooper, and has been a wardrobe staple for movies like donnie Brasco and miami Vice,

and on television shows such as entourage and magic city. “Our elegant, hand-woven ties are produced in California, and our made-to-measure suits are produced in Chicago. We keep production of the most luxurious pieces we make here in America because we have a strong belief in the American worker. In our factories, we employ some of the best, most experienced craftsmen and seamstresses in the world, and in their ingenuity and hard work they epitomize the strength and quality of the American workforce.”

For spring, Ike Behar will debut a palette inspired by the natural dyes and colors of luxurious fabrics such as cashmere, alpaca, silk, and linen, with whimsy and color injected in the form of

peacock blue, soft rose quartz, melon, and tangerine. “Our inspiration continues to be drawn from our customer, who has the confidence to experiment with color,” affirms Joshua. This collection will be available in the new Merrick Park location, the fifth stand-alone store for the brand in the US, which will also carry Ike Behar’s entire line of shirting, ties, suits, sports coats, sports shirts, and accessories, along with a made-to-measure program. Adds Alan Behar, Ike’s son and the current company co-owner and CEO, “It’s tremendous that we are now able to provide customers with a more comprehensive experience with our brand and our products [at Merrick Park].”

There is, of course, a special

place in the Behar family’s heart for its Miami home base.

“Miami is a natural home for us,” says Joshua. “Our factory here employs some of the best tailors around, many of whom have worked for us for over 20 years.”

Adds the company patriarch, “Keeping the business in the family and in Miami allows us to carry on in the spirit in which we were founded. We find it important to personally ensure that every product that bears the Ike Behar name adheres to our strict standards. As a family, we try to each remain involved in most aspects of operating the business. We each have our own expertise within the three generations around the office [sons Alan with finance and operations, Steven with design

and merchandising, and Lawrence with production and customer relations; grandson Joshua with media and marketing; and granddaughter Alexandra with public relations]. We take care to consult with one another, always seeking support and diversity of opinion.”

As to what keeps the family itself inspired? Says Alan, “Ike is a first-generation Cuban immigrant as well, so like many Miamians, we relish the international and cosmopolitan atmosphere of the city. In a world where fashion trends are often defined by New York and Milan, having a Miami and family perspective has served us very well.” Village of merrick park, 358 san Lorenzo ave., coral Gables, 305-448-5028; ikebehar.com OD

STYLE Time Honored Greubel Forsey’s QP à Équation watch (price on request) combines the tourbillon with the perpetual calendar and an equation of time mechanism. Les Bijoux, 306 Plaza Real, Boca Raton, 561-361-2311; greubelforsey.com

Ones tO Watch The sale of timepieces in 2014 is estimated to have been nearly $40 billion globally, with watches from Switzerland accounting for more than half of that sum.

That may well be why the world’s first watch exhibition of 2015, the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH) in January, was the place to be.

More than 12,000 watch retailers and specialty press descended on Geneva for the SIHH show to witness 16 top luxury brands unveil their newest creations. These watches, many that were years in the making, will arrive in the US market beginning this summer and will set the trends for the year to come and beyond. Making a strong appearance on the scene were skeletonized watches, astronomically inspired pieces, and high complications such as tourbillons—watches that have an added escapement to compensate for the errors in timing due to the effects of gravity when the wrist is in certain positions.

Also making important statements at the more affordable price range are creative new chronographs and both annual calendars (which need a date

120 oceandrive.com

adjustment once a year at the end of February) and perpetual calendars (which are generally perfect timekeepers until the year 2100, when we skip a scheduled leap year).

Garnering particular attention this year is the category of skeletonized watches, which are created by carving away much of the metal from the movement so the wearer can view the beauty of the elaborate gears and wheels. A watchmaker can spend countless hours whittling away as much as 70 percent of the metal, but must do so in a way that preserves the strength of the piece.

Additionally, these tiny components are usually engraved, resulting in a breathtaking work of art and precision. Brands such as Cartier, Roger Dubuis, and Parmigiani Fleurier take the lead this year with elaborate new pieces. In fact, Cartier has unveiled the Crash Skeleton, a watch whose movement had to be reconfigured to fit inside the unusually shaped Dali-inspired case. continued on page 122

In the realm of tourbillons, some brands are combining the complex tourbillon escapement with other useful functions such as chronographs and perpetual calendars. Montblanc, for instance, debuted the Heritage ExoTourbillon in a special tribute Vasco da Gama edition. Named for the famed explorer who navigated by the Southern Cross in the 1500s to connect Europe with Asia, the stunning version features an aventurine dial complete with the stars of the Southern Cross in the design. This watch incorporates yet another key trend seen this year: astronomically inspired watches.

The heavens and astronomy movement is one that Jaeger-LeCoultre blends in its new Duomètre Sphérotourbillon Moon watch, which combines moon-phase indication and a seemingly free-floating tourbillon escapement. Similarly, Greubel Forsey focuses on astronomy with its seventh invention watch: QP à Équation, which masterfully combines tourbillon, perpetual calendar, and equation of time mechanisms (which offers the difference between real time and solar time), complete with season display. These luxury watches are true statement makers in 2015.

In the world of chronograph advancements, Piaget’s new Altiplano Chronograph sets two world records in the ultrathin field: The hand-wound flyback movement (caliber 883P) measures 4.65mm, and the finished watch measures just 8.24mm thick.

Other great new chronographs hail from brands such as Panerai, Ralph Lauren, and IWC. In fact, IWC has greatly expanded on its Portugieser collection of watches in honor of its 75th anniversary this year. In celebration, the brand showcases several new chronographs and calendar watches and introduces new in-house-made movements, including one for the Portugieser annual calendar.

Start your wish list; this is a year filled with great timepieces.

The All-elecTric FIA FormulA E chAmpIonshIp rAces inTo MiAMi This MonTh. While fast cars zip up Biscayne Boulevard every day, on March 14, the highspeed racers zooming along the thoroughfare will not only be legal, they’ll be eco-friendly as well. That’s when the FIA Formula E Championship, the world’s first fully electric open-wheel racing series, arrives in Miami.

Produced by the same governing body that sponsors the traditional Formula One races, the Formula E Championship features all-electric cars that look similar to Indy racecars but reach speeds of up to 150 miles per hour, accelerating from 0 to 62 mph in a neck-snapping three seconds.

The original philosophy behind the series was to “promote sustainability and help accelerate electric-vehicle technology, but also to be more relevant to the current climate,” explains Alejandro Agag, CEO

by becky randel

of Formula E. Rather than adopting a general “save-the-earth” attitude, the group sought to promote e-energy to a specific target audience.

“The whole series is designed to appeal to a new, younger generation of motorsport fans, to help change the perception of electric vehicles, so that the first road car these new fans buy is an electric one.”

This greater purpose may be why, in just two years, the project has launched in 10 major cities around the world and attracted well-known drivers such as Bruno Senna, Oriol Servia, and Franck Montagny, as well as high-profile team owners like Michael Andretti, Jay Penske, and Leonardo DiCaprio. continued on page 128

Come for the race, stay for the action.

Alongside the championship race, Formula E is hosting the “eVillage”—a city festival flled with activities like full-size racing simulators, testdrives, ftness challenges, and offcial merchandise, all continuing in the message of innovation, technology, sustainability, and well-being.

Attendees can expect a mix of local food vendors (often organic), a partner activation area showcasing various products with a commitment to sustainability, e-bike stunt performances, e-karting,

you want to have fun.” The 1.5-mile course winds up Biscayne Boulevard, under the MacArthur Causeway, and around AmericanAirlines Arena, with qualifying rounds throughout the day on Saturday, March 14, and the 45-minute final race in the late afternoon.

Beyond the thrill of the race lies the ever-present purpose of the event, which is to educate both consumers and the auto industry. “We want to use motorsport to help improve the current technology available—just as other racing series have done for the combustion engine,” says Agag.

As to just how important that technology is to the environment, FIA conducted a private study to discover the potential global impact of the Formula E. Although the results are projections, they’re nevertheless quite astounding. Global research organization Ernst & Young found that Formula E could help sell an additional 77 million electric cars, which could save 900 million tons of CO2 and 4 billion barrels of oil, and provide healthcare savings of more than $30 billion due to pollution reduction. “People often don’t fully appreciate what huge benefits switching to electric vehicles can have on their everyday lives,” says Agag. “We firmly believe the future is electric.” The FIA Formula E Miami Championship takes place Saturday, March 14; visit fiaformulae.com for schedule and course information.

autographs.

And the winner is: The eVillage also gives fans the chance to directly impact race results with its interactive “FanBoost” element.

Here, fans can vote for their favorite driver to receive an extra “speed burst,” which allows that driver to fend off or overtake another driver.

“It means fans don’t just have to watch the race from their couches,” explains Agag. “They can potentially infuence its outcome.”

Miami was added to the competition roster last October in a joint press conference with Mayor Tomas Regalado (the only other US race is in Long Beach, California). “Miami was chosen because it shares the values that are the basis of our championship,” says Agag. “It’s a city that looks to the future, experimenting with new technologies, [and it’s] a place where

PurPle Haze

Call it a happy accident. Before spending a month in Berlin last year, Miami artist Odalis Valdivieso’s work was known for its exploration of hard-edged geometric abstraction. That general approach still powers her latest paintings—part of her new solo exhibition, “Arrhythmic Suite,” at the Miami Dade College Museum of Art + Design—but the sharp lines have been softened and suffused within warm multicolored hues.

The catalyst for this shift had little to do with an immersion into avantgarde German culture, however. The original plan was to spend some time with the Berlin-based writer who is contributing an essay to a new artist’s book Valdivieso is producing, and then hunker down in solitude to focus on her painting.

Once overseas, though, Valdivieso stumbled upon a particular consistency of calligraphic inks used primarily for folkloric writing and

130 oceandrive.com

by brett sokol

hand-inscribed religious texts.

After some experimentation, she discovered the inks also offered a unique way to paint, moving Valdivieso to pile different colored blocks alongside and atop one another, fashioning a beguiling haze. “The ink creates soft and translucent layers that I find more fascinating than if I had used watercolors,” she says. “Watercolors give you a flat ending, whereas the ink is silky with a rainbowlike reflection when it dries.”

For an artist who has previously been as focused on art theory as on her art itself, the ink’s rapid drying time forced her to act in the moment and lose herself in the motions of painting: “It allows you to just react in an emotional way.” Odalis Valdivieso’s “Arrhythmic Suite” is on display through April 26 at the Miami Dade County Museum of Art + Design, 600 Biscayne Blvd., Miami, 305237-7700; mdcmoad.org.

The brothers won their 100th doubles title at last year’s US Open.

One might imagine the childhoods of Bob and Mike Bryan—identical twin brothers who’ve broken almost every record in tennis doubles history—to have been Tiger Woods-esque.

In actuality, the boys’ parents took the opposite approach, encouraging them to “fall in love” with the sport as fans before allowing them on the court. “They definitely used side-door motivation,” says Mike.

“Our love for the sport is why we are still playing tennis today at [the age of] 36.”

The fact that the twins spent the first 30 years of their lives honing their game together didn’t hurt either.

“We developed as a tight unit,” says Bob, who believes each brother took advantage of the other’s strengths to escalate his own abilities. “I had the number-one player in the country right down the hall to hit with every day….

You don’t want to be the worse twin; you want to carry your weight on the court.”

The men also credit their idol, Andre Agassi, for developing their desire to win, even copying the pink spandex shorts he wore.

Today the Bryans consider Agassi a close friend. Mike competed against him at the 2001 US Open—his only Grand Slam singles match— and lost. “I was so nervous trying to figure out a way to beat this guy who was just a god to me,” Mike says.

Echoes Bob, “[Agassi was] basically the reason we played tennis.” continued on page 134

Mike, due to the intense media buildup surrounding their milestone achievement.

As the brothers prepare for this month’s Miami Open, the men credit their strict nutrition regimen for giving them an edge on the court. Mike led them into gluten-free diets roughly 10 years ago, and they’ve both felt major improvements since. Mike also depends on Vega Sport supplements, fish oil, and Chinese herbs to maintain his good health. “I feel better now [at 36] than I did at 25,” he notes.

Mike, who currently lives in Tampa, says he’ll join his brother in Miami ahead of the tournament because “I feel like there’s a little piece missing” when he’s away from his twin for too long. Their bond is so strong, in fact, that Mike admits it can arouse a little jealousy in their wives. “That’s a factor we have to negotiate, but they’re just going to have to deal with it,” he jokes.

Down the road, the Bryans also aim to compete in the 2016 Olympics in Rio, which Mike says, “is what we view as maybe our swan song.” After that, they will consider careers as college tennis coaches or potentially starting an academy. After all, says Bob, “Tennis is our life, it’s really what we’re experts at.” The Miami Open takes place Monday, March 23, through Sunday, April 5, at Crandon Park Tennis Center, 7300 Crandon Blvd., Key Biscayne; for tickets, call 305-442-3367 or visit miamiopen.com. OD

InsIght: Is it true you trade tennis lessons for music lesson with some stars?

Bob: “A lot of them want to be athletes, and we just want to be musicians.”

Mike: “Elton John is actually pretty good; he travels with a pro.

And Gavin Rossdale is addicted!”

What are your favorite Miami restaurants?

Bob: “We are members of Casa Tua— that’s where I had my wedding reception.

Our go-to lunch spot is Wapo Taco! We also like Zuma and Villa Azur.”

Mike: “We’re always shooting for the health food places, like Miami Juice in Sunny Isles and Juice & Java; I just got the Latin Scramble this morning.”

How do you like playing in the Miami Open?

Bob: “Everyone comes into that tournament, loves the vibe here, and starts looking at real estate. You just don’t want to play a South American at that tournament or it will get pretty loud with the fans!”

MiaMi Beach Mayor PhiliP levine PrePares For his city’s centennial.

Walk into Miami Beach City Hall these days and you might do a double take: The fourth-floor chambers of the mayor and city commissioners have undergone a dramatic makeover, personally overseen and paid for by Mayor Philip Levine, who is currently in his second year of office after one of the most tumultuous (and certainly the most expen-

sive) campaigns in the city’s 100-year history.

Rather than the standard-issue 1970s municipal drab of yore, City Hall’s fourth floor now features floor-to-ceiling, life-size photos of iconic leaders and inspirational quotes from such notables as the late Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir (chosen by Commissioner Micky Steinberg to grace her office’s

doorway) and former US President George Bush in his WWII-era fighter pilot days (selected by Commissioner Jonah Wolfson to greet his visitors).

The overall feeling is less of a gray warren of government offices and more of a new dot-com start-up, which is precisely the point.

Currently on the mayor’s checklist: a citywide party. For Miami Beach’s 100th birthday this month, Levine says to expect four days of special events “celebrating our leading role in fashion, music, architecture, style, and design,” culminating on Thursday, March 26, with a free concert on the sand off Ocean Drive. “Every time we talk about adding another star, our police chief and our city manager roll their eyes,” he says about the concert lineup. “They’re terrified about having another Woodstock here.” Still, he admits he’s hoping to top the 120,000-strong crowd that turned out for a free 1995 concert in the same spot by the Italian tenor Luciano Pavarotti.

Within City Hall itself, Levine has reversed course from the previous mayoral administration.

A police force seen as deeply dysfunctional found itself with the aforementioned new reform-minded chief as well as a new second in command—both hired from outside Miami with an explicit mandate to clean house. In the wake of code enforcement and building department corruption scandals, the new city manager was similarly empowered to dig through records and flag questionable deals and conspicuously unpaid bills. No less worrying, Levine says, was the combination of dramatically rising sea levels and a decrepit drainage system, leaving much of South Beach regularly looking like continued on page 138

with a grimace. “They responded by saying that it was a total mistake; they’d get the cones cleared in one hour. I told them not to worry because I’d gotten it done in three minutes.”

The Beach’s never-ending construction woes aside, it’s hard not to be impressed with at least some of what’s been accomplished under Levine’s tenure. Previous plans for drastically expanding the city’s convention center redo with an accompanying high-end retail and condo complex—and with more than $500 million in public money funding the project—have been spiked. Instead, a more modest renovation of only the convention center is underway. “We’re a boutique destination,” Levine explains. “We are not a massive international

convention center town. That’s Vegas. And we don’t want to be Vegas.”

Spoiler alert: Levine is running for reelection in November. And with three of the city’s six commissioners termed out of office and their seats in play, Levine says he’ll once again be devoting his considerable resources to supporting kindred candidates—and maintaining a solid majority of votes in support of his vision for the city. His next big project? Stopping the expansion of casino gaming, which he sees as an existential threat to the future of not only the Beach but all of South Florida. “The world loves Miami, the world’s coming to Miami,” he says. “The only thing we can do is mess it up.” OD

a biblical reenactment. “Our streets were flooded, [and there was] no plan, no vision on how to fix that, just a sense of hopelessness that we could do anything about it,” he argues. To that end, new pumping stations have since been installed around the city to push water back into the bay—a pricey remedy, but one Levine believes to be essential in addressing climate change.

Flood control is also important to the Beach constituents who put Levine in office. “I don’t call them residents; I call them customers,” says the mayor.

“We have 90,000 customers.” Considering his citizens as customers and extending his business instincts to the public sector hasn’t always gone over well for Levine. In fact, during his 2013 mayoral bid, many observers questioned why he wanted the job in the first place. On the heels of the reported $300 million sale of his cruise industry media firm, his launch of a new cruise line-focused company, a slew of splashy real estate deals, dates with models and TV stars, and not least, jetting around the country alongside Bill Clinton, a beachside mayoralty seemed like a sidetrack to his life.

“Anyone who knows me knows I’m a pothole mayor,” Levine says with a laugh, insisting that he thrives on micromanaging, even down to personally intervening in roadwork. He recalls driving down the Beach’s Alton Road during last December’s Art Basel (which attracted one of its largest crowds ever) just after he’d publicly promised all of the street’s lanes would be open for the fair’s traffic onslaught. Suddenly he was greeted with the sight of an orange menace: “They’d put cones up in one lane! I got out of the car and I personally threw all the cones onto the sidewalk. [I then] called the CEO of the construction company and the [city’s] director of public works,” he continues

What was the South Beach scene like when you first started visiting?

Karim Masri: South Beach was off-limits my first year. It wasn’t safe. [Then] I remember in ’87, ’88, I went to a place called Scratch, and I ran into George Michael, and a year later there was Cindy Crawford. There was already some sort of a scene, and the [fashion] photography took it to another level.

Coconut Grove was a big deal then. What allowed South Beach to surpass it?

142 oceandrive.com

Nicola Siervo: The European factor—all the photo shoots were here. The fashion industry made it attractive to people, and it organically grew into a scene. If you have 500 models running around South Beach, you’re going to have people following. [Siervo shrugs to imply this is obvious.]

Karim, you opened the Hotel Astor, which became pivotal in the hidden South Beach celeb scene, in 1995.

What made that seem like a good venture at the time?

KM: When you’re young, you take risks. I saw the progression; I felt it. To me, there was the beach, the weather, the fashion—there was a formula that was going to go crazy.

South Beach shifted from a hidden boutique-ish nightlife scene to something more commercial. What was the turning point?

KM: I think it was 1999—there was a Super Bowl that year, and Chris Paciello had a club where Set is. That’s when Cameron [Diaz] was doing Any Given Sunday, and the year before that, she did Something About Mary. The Super Bowl gave South Beach a window to the world that it never had COnTinueD On pAGe 144

Karim Masri and Nicola Siervo were part of the nightlife and restaurant revolution that changed South Beach from sketchy beach town in the 1980s to underground hot spot in the ’90s to the over-the-top global destination we know today. They’ve been partners in the KNR Hospitality Group since 2005 and run venues like Quattro, The Dutch, and Wall, and helped create the tone at the Thompson Miami Beach’s Seagrape and charming 1930s House.

before. The corporate world went to all the clubs, and all these places started to gain worldwide notoriety. We went from trendy-cool to being on the path to commercial.

NS: And, of course, the real estate grew, and so forth.

The rules of getting into clubs have certainly changed.

NS: Before, there was a selection at the door based on looks and cool, not on money.

KM: There were clubs like Nell’s in New York, where if the doorman didn’t like you, it didn’t matter; you could spend $10,000 and you wouldn’t get in.

NS: The culture of clubbing moved to a bigger stage; now you can buy tickets online. It changed with the explosion of EDM. Bottle service had been around, but when did it really take hold?

KM: The bottle thing started in the late ’90s—if there was a group of guys you wouldn’t normally let in, you’d say, “If you guys buy a bottle, I’ll get you in.” But the whole $5,000 and buy-your-way-in, I would say, [started] in the 2000s. It changed with the world. The world has created so much wealth in the last 15 years. Now money is being thrown to buy access.

You study the hospitality industry and navigate it with great success. Any predictions?

NS: We went from real club culture [of the ’90s] to big EDM explosion—the DJ is the rock star. We are not that kind of business.

Our company will always be on the boutique side of things.

KM: What we need not lose is that nightlife was an escape.

Now for the younger generation, it’s about showing and documenting their lives—taking a selfie with some DJ behind [them]. It’s not about you enjoying the moment anymore.

NS: Eventually we are going [to go] back. Small venues are coming back. That’s why we believe in this room [the 1930s House]. It’s the alternative to a club. I’m not saying big clubs will die, but the real club culture will probably go back to smaller venues.

As you plan your next venture, what elements of Miami are you paying attention to?

KM: For anything on the mainland side, I want to wait another six months to see how the dust settles, because the next war is retail. All these shopping malls opening—the Malaysian casino at the [former miami herald building], Squire with Brickell City Centre, Craig Robins with the Design District, whether Wynwood has the potential to be the Meatpacking District—Miami has tentacles in every direction.

Any more thoughts on South Beach’s hospitality past and future?

KM: In the past, it was a village. It was simple. People are trying too hard.

NS: It was not so much showing off before.

But that’s how you make your money—off of those people.

NS: We don’t mind it. We love it, but if we could choose, sometimes I would be a little more like the past.

KM: We have to make a living, and we love what we do because we keep that boutique-y essence. The people who work with us—it’s homegrown. Sure, I want a guy to spend $50,000, but that’s not what I would describe to you with nostalgia. We do this business because we love it—we love the music, the people, the food.

“I’m looking straight down onto turquoise blue waters—the Gulf Stream is less than a mile out, the color is amazing. Boats are going by. The temperature is 75 degrees. It’s as idyllic as you can imagine. Even the waves— it’s like I can reach out and grab them.”

No, this is not some visualization exercise from a motivational speaker; this is Tony Robbins’s reality. Robbins is sitting five feet from the edge of his West Palm Beach property, which was hard-won by strategic thinking, and subsequent action, over the course of a three-decade career. Global power players such as former President Bill Clinton, investor Paul Tudor Jones, and actor Hugh Jackman have paid him upwards of seven figures for his mentorship; his life events pack stadiums; and his books, including the recently released Money: Master the Game: 7 Simple Steps to Financial Freedom, are New York Times best sellers. Robbins is the biggest life coach in the world—both figuratively and literally— he sprouted up 10 inches in high school, to a towering 6-foot-7 (the result, he would find out later in life, of a pituitary tumor).

Robbins rose to fame in the ’80s in part from the ubiquitous marathon of infomercials, but he bristles at the mere mention of the word “motivational.” “I am not a motivator, never have been; motivation to me is a warm bath you ought to take or you stink—but I am a strategist,” says Robbins, 55. “If all you coNTiNued oN paGe 150

“I recently Met A MArIne Who Got bAck FroM AFGhAnIstAn WIth PtsD—IF I cAn turn hIM ArounD, thAt Is My lIFe’s Work.”—tony robbins are is somebody motivated, running east looking for a sunset, I don’t give a shit how motivated you are, you’re going nowhere without strategy.”

His knack for clear-headed thinking and his larger-than-life personality have helped him get serious results for millions of people. “I turn around businesses in a year or 18 months; I turn around individuals, their bodies; I turn around people emotionally. I recently met a Marine who got back from Afghanistan with PTSD—if I can turn him around, that is my life’s work.”

Strategic thinking also landed him his current $25 million six-bedroom West Palm Beach mansion. The California native—who has homes dotted around the world (including the numberone-rated resort in Fiji)—decided to settle in South Florida in 2013 after an exhaustive search for more tax-friendly locales. “When California raised the income tax rate to the upper end, I was okay with that, but when they made it retroactive, I said this is out of control; it just pushed me over the edge.

I’m only there 90 days a year, at most.”

The topic of money and its impact on everyday citizens has been top of mind for the guy whom Forbes calls “the CEO Whisperer” ever since the financial collapse of 2008. He has dined with the Dalai Lama, walked on fire with Oprah, and personally coached three of the past five US presidents. “I grew up dirt poor—‘when you went

out to get the car and it was gone’ kind of poor,” he says. “I went through four fathers, or my mother did, and in my mind it was all tied to finance.”

Watching the Oscar-winning documentary Inside Job about the banking industry’s role in the financial meltdown was his final straw. He didn’t just get mad—he got to work. “I thought, I have a unique gift: I have access. I coached one of the top-10 financial traders in the history of the world, Paul Tudor Jones, for 21 straight years, every day. I thought, What if I interview 50 of the most brilliant minds in the financial world?”

For his November 2014 release, Money: Master the Game, his first major book since 1991’s blockbuster Awaken the Giant Within, he turned to the masters themselves, gleaning specific, actionable advice and steps from financial kingpins such as billionaire investor Carl Icahn and Vanguard Group founder John C. Bogle. “What’s cool about the book is it takes the greatest minds on Wall Street and brings it to Main Street,” he says, in language “soccer moms and kids just getting out of college” can access.

Robbins has donated all author proceeds, plus an additional personal contribution, to feed 50 million meals to people in need, via Feeding America, the largest domestic hunger relief charity, and an organization close to his heart. “When I was 11, we had no money for food on Thanksgiving. This man

showed up at my house with bags of food and an uncooked turkey, and he changed my life. It wasn’t the food; it was the idea that strangers cared. That event shaped me more than anything else.”

Also part of Robbins’s teachings are his regular live events, including the weekend-long Unleash the Power Within or five-day Date With Destiny at the Boca Raton Resort & Club. Gatherings are regularly scheduled for Fiji, New York, Chicago, and Las Vegas, but West Palm Beach will always be home. “It was just the pure serenity and beauty that made me settle here,” he says. “I’ve got water on both sides of my property, and I’ve got a 50-foot boat dock; I can go wherever I want.” And he does. OD

Home, Sweet Home Tony Robbins shares what inspires him about South Florida.

Hometown Homie:

“Pitbull invited me to his concert recently. he grew up on my work; his mom used to play my audiotapes. he’s a force of nature. he told me years ago that I’d made a big difference in who he is as a person. I love his music, I love his energy, and I love the way he takes care of his community as well.” tHe Heat is on:

Natalie the Great MiaMi-born beauty Natalie MartiNez stars in two of this spring’s Most anticipated hollywood projects. by juliet izon

“You definitely grow up fast and you get your wits about you at a young age,” actress Natalie Martinez says of her Miami childhood. “I’m very grateful for it now.” The 30-year-old is a true Miamian: Born at Baptist Hospital to Cuban immigrant parents, she was raised in Cutler Ridge and then attended St. Brendan High School.

With her high cheekbones and a mane of wavy chestnut locks, it’s little wonder that Martinez is hypnotizing in front of the camera. But as a teenager, her future

154 oceandrive.com

career plans were on a decidedly different track. “I wanted to be a neonatal nurse,” she says. “I wanted to work in the maternity ward and deliver babies.” But at 17, what might be called mother’s intuition intervened. “My mom made me go to this modeling contest and I ended up winning.”

Part of the prize was a photo shoot in Los Angeles for four days and, as Martinez puts it, “I just never left.”

That was 12 years ago, and the actress has been racking up increasingly more impressive screen credits ever since.

While starring in Justin Timberlake’s “Señorita” video may be one of her most viral moments, Martinez is quick to point out that her biggest professional successes feature her for more than just a few minutes on screen. “The videos, I’ve always thought they were a lot of fun to do, but I’ve only done them with friends. I never thought of [them] as a big break.” Television viewers know her better as Sheriff Linda Esquivel on Stephen King’s Under the Dome on CBS, where Martinez’s character unfortunately met a very uncomfortable demise. “I got smushed by a car,” she sighs.

This spring finds Martinez very much alive, however, and starring in two major productions. On ABC’s new drama Secrets and Lies, the actress plays a mourning young mother alongside Ryan Phillippe. “Each episode will leave you dumbfounded,” she says. “There’s a curveball at the end of every one.” In April, she’ll hit the big screen with Selfless, a cerebral suspense film featuring heavyweights like Ben Kingsley and Michelle Dockery (Downton Abbey).

“I tend to play very strong, emotionally distraught characters,” she notes wryly.

While her professional career is in full swing, Martinez still finds time to return home. “I always miss my grandmother’s cooking; that’s for sure,” she says. “I miss all of the things you kind of take for granted in Miami.” OD

PEOPLE Spirit of Generosity

Laura and Jay Parker at home with Spot, one of their dogs.

Humane nature

Since meeting 10 years ago, now husband and wife Jay and Laura Parker filled their lives with a shared passion for philanthropy. But it’s Laura’s unwavering dedication to the protection and care of animals that’s the cause nearest and dearest to their hearts.

Growing up in Italy, Laura’s exposure to animals was most often to those that ended up on the dinner table—a memory that inspired her to become a vegetarian nearly 14 years ago. Around that same time, Laura bought a dog, Astro, from a pet store and found her life’s calling: helping animals that can’t help themselves. “I bought Astro because I didn’t know about shelters then,” says Laura. “I’m 100 percent convinced he was from a puppy mill. He had problems from the day that I brought him home—skin problems, health issues. My devotion started with Astro, and then it allowed me to help other dogs in need. I started to volunteer at local shelters and get involved with other animal organizations.”

And so, it was a natural evolution for the Parkers to become intimately

156 oceandrive.com

involved with the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS). The organization doesn’t just provide funds for temporary fixes to problems like puppy mills, fighting pits, hoarders, neglect, and natural disasters; as Laura points out, the HSUS takes the time to educate the public and take on issues like animal abuse and wildlife rehabilitation head on. Most importantly, “it changes laws and fights for all kinds of animals,” she says.

This month, the Parkers will be cochairing the HSUS’s inaugural Celebrating Animals/Confronting Cruelty Miami event on March 27 as part of the organization’s mission to educate and inspire others. The event’s leadership committee is an impressive group of Miami power players (and animal enthusiasts), including activist/model/socialite Amanda Hearst and international designer Tui Pranich. Celebrities such as Ellen DeGeneres, Portia de Rossi, and Kesha round out the Honorary Committee.

During the event, guests will be treated to programming that further continued on page 158

However, there will be plenty of time to mingle as well, with a cocktail reception, a gourmet vegan dining experience, and a performance by jazz singer Nicole Henry on the agenda.

Laura’s intense devotion to animal rights is something Jay hopes is contagious among the event’s attendees. “Laura’s compassion for animals is really extraordinary,” says Jay, the CEO of Florida brokerage at Douglas Elliman. In their everyday life, the couple might rescue birds during a torrential downpour or hold up traffic to save a stranded animal.

This commitment to all creatures is something they’ve passed along to their two children by regularly fostering animals at home. “Laura basically took half of the garage and turned it into a day care center with air-conditioning and television. The dogs that Laura rescues have television because she thinks they actually watch it,” says Jay. “Probably

just in our home alone we’ve rescued and saved more than 20 dogs. And over the last 10 years, I would never even be able to quantify the number of animals we’ve rescued.”

Sadly, Laura recently lost three of her dogs (including Astro), so she’s taking a break from having canines as pets while she grieves. But for Christmas, Jay gave his blessing for Laura to try something new, and rescue a horse. She visits the equine in Wellington and goes riding twice a week, and Laura loves having the opportunity to teach her kids about the important connection humans and horses can have. “An animal should not live its entire life in a cage [so small] they cannot even turn around,” says Laura. “If more people knew, if more people were educated [about animals], they would be able to make better choices.” The Humane

On a perfectly “Miami” winter evening, it seemed as if all of Miami had slipped into their finest cocktail attire for the Pérez Art Museum Miami’s Art of the Party presented

by Louis Vuitton. Among the many distinguished guests, including recording artist and celebrated Miami native Pitbull, supermodel Karolina Kurkova stood out, radiant alongside husband Archie Drury.

Kurkova was one of hundreds who attended the three-part event to support the museum’s education programming. From the Chef’s Table four-course dinner on the museum’s East Portico to the Supper Club dinner lounge upstairs in the museum’s special exhibition galleries and the outdoor Remix afterparty on the Knight Plaza, Kurkova cheerfully mixed and mingled with the evening’s guests and performers, including Mr. Cheng, an artist who entertained with Chinese paper-cutting, and the 20-person flash mob that broke into choreographed dance to Fergie’s “A Little Party Never Killed Nobody.”

The supermodel mom showed off the figure that launched her career in a brilliant orange tailored Roland Mouret dress with subtle cutouts, black single-sole strappy heels, and an Eva Fehren “X” bracelet.

Fresh start

MiaMi restaurateurs husband-and-wife duo tunu and Yona Puri bring a slice of italY to brickell with the oPening of Tamarina. by carla torres

It’s date night in Miami’s Financial District and sparks are flying in the dining room of Tamarina, a dimly lit glass-walled beauty brimming with allure and coastal Italian cuisine. As a table of easy-on-the-eyes guests dine on impeccably shucked oysters with a raspberry mignonette, the barman behind the leather-wrapped marble bar crafts his own balsamic beet shrub to mix with Amaro Nonino, a grappa infusion from one of Italy’s oldest distillers from the 1930s. “That was the era of Italian glamour,” says co-owner Yona Puri, “which is exactly what I wanted when we decided to build a new restaurant.”

She and her husband, Tunu Puri, opened Lippi in the same Brickell Avenue corner in 2013, before

shutting its doors less than two years later. “French high dining for 200 seats was a bit too early for Miami,” she explains. “People want to be at ease.” And at Tamarina, laid-back refinement is as suffused in the décor as it is in the menu. This can be seen when walking into the cavernous space, where sheer floor-to-ceiling curtains envelop the antique chef’s table, or tasted in the wahoo crudo, which Executive Chef Israel Mora drizzles with Puglian olive oil and sprinkles with a pinch of his exotic salts.

Prior to being plucked by the Puris, Mora was mastering his craft as sous chef at the acclaimed Zuma (where Puri is an investor).

Even with a résumé that speaks for itself, Mora

remains modest about his not-so-humble beginnings, which include the Michelin-starred El Poblet in his native country of Spain. His Mediterranean roots crop up throughout much of the menu and can be best evidenced in the adobo-seasoned Chilean sea bass adorned with a smear of classic Italian salmoriglio puree. The flavorful charred skin gives way to a buttery filet that tears with one touch of the fork, revealing Mora’s prowess for cooking fish.

Uncooked seafood may be Tamarina’s biggest draw, however. “Miami is so crudo-oriented,” says Yona.

“But crudo is also very Italian.”

To represent both worlds, fish is sourced from the Amalfi

and South Florida Coasts.

“We keep the original flavor of the product and let the acidity come from other ingredients,” says Mora. Such is the case with the local yellowtail snapper crudo, which derives its acidity from cucumber- and horseradish-infused balsamic.

Of course, no coastal Italian restaurant would be complete without pasta.

Tamarina’s iterations, made fresh and in-house, cover all the Italian classics. Think spinach and ricotta ravioli in a bubbling sage butter sauce,

garlicky spaghetti vongole, or hearty tagliatelle Bolognese. Risotto is laden with Parmigiano-Reggiano and paired with the season’s best offering, be it porcini mushrooms, asparagus, or white truffles. “We are ingredient-driven,” says Yona. “Freshness is our passion.” Exactly the type of ethos you might expect from a restaurant not afraid to let the food do all the talking.

Florida Meets italy “We’re all about localizing wherever makes sense without straying from our Italian roots,” says Executive Chef Israel Mora. A divine example is Tamarina’s rendition of Florida’s quintessential dessert, Key lime pie, or in this case, Key lime torta di ricotta. Just as the name implies, Mora melds ricotta cheesecake with Key lime cream, then tops the sweet creation with mangopassion foam—a bit of tropical Italian perfection.

The raw, pearly white scallops, lined up on a plate in the kitchen of Cantina La Veinte, are so ludicrously plump they look as though they’re stolen from Fernando Botero’s dreams. Executive Chef Santiago Gomez has set the shellfish aside for the moment while waiting for a black pan on the burner to become “really, really hot—until you see a little bit of smoke.”

Cantina La Veinte itself has been smoking hot from the moment it opened at Icon Brickell this past July. The stunning waterfront restaurant, which couples a sexy bar scene with upscale renditions of traditional Mexican fare, has already been successfully branded south of the border. Gomez, who helmed the Cantina La Veinte in his native Mexico City, was brought in to ensure a smooth transition for this first US venture.

“I love scallops. so I saId, ‘We have to do our oWn MexIcan versIon.’” —santiago gomez

“It’s not something we have on the menu in Mexico, but we knew we wanted to do more seafood here because we’re right by the water,” says Gomez as he points toward the dining room windows that frame a glistening Biscayne Bay. “When I came to Miami to check out the restaurants, I saw that everyone had scallops. And I love scallops. So I said, ‘We have to do our own Mexican version.’ It’s become a signature dish. The customers love it.”

Creating the Palette The dish’s execution begins with preparing the accompaniments. This entails cooking short grain rice in a bright, Kelly green juice culled from cilantro and poblano peppers (plus a little bit of cream), and reducing a pure liquid essence of beets until it becomes syrupy. “We cook the beets in beet juice for a stronger flavor, and then blend them,” says Gomez.

Checking on the simmering beet concentrate, he gives the rice a brisk stir, and pats the trio of scallops dry “to give them a good sear.” As the generously salted bivalves and a bit of clarified butter hit the now smoldering pan, a slim spiral of smoke rises from the open kitchen and dissipates into aromatic vapor.

The chef tilts the pan to collect clarified butter in a tablespoon, which he then uses to baste the sizzling scallops.

“This way, the butter flavor gets in,” he explains as he flips each one over. In the blink of an eye, the scallops are ready to be plated, awaiting only a last-second drizzle of truffle oil.

The chef finishes the dish with white truffle oil. above: Scallops are seared in butter while the bright green rice is heating.

The presentation pops with radiant colors. Each darkly caramelized scallop is carefully positioned atop a dollop of the bright green rice; the rest of the plate is a painter’s palette of deep burgundy beet juice, cilantro micro sprouts, and dazzling dabs of pansies. The unique interplay of flavors is no less brilliant: sweet scallops and beets balanced by the mild piquancy of poblano and a pungent punctuation of cilantro. The al dente rice likewise contributes a textural bite to counter the meltingly soft shellfish. An earthy truffle taste announces itself last, like the finish in a fine wine.

artful imBiBing Chef Gomez thinks a Mexican beer would pair well with the seafood and contrasting flavors, “and a good tequila or mezcal would be even better.” It just so happens that along with this distinctively delicious scallop dish, Cantina La Veinte boasts one of the most extensive tequila and mezcal collections in the country. 465 Brickell Ave., Miami, 786-623-6135 OD

ALBERTO CABRERA’S UNORTHODOX SUB SHOP IS SHAPING LITTLE HAVANA’S CULINARY RESURGENCE ONE SANDWICH AT A TIME. BY CARLA TORRES Sandwiches are having a moment, so much so that Bread + Butter chef and owner Alberto Cabrera made them the star of the show at Little Bread Cuban Sandwich Co., an unconventional sandwichery in the heart of Little Havana. “We’re focusing on the old-school Cuban classics but adding a present-day American twist,” he says. “We’re reinventing the sandwich wheel.” Cabrera changes up the classic Cuban with pork belly rillette instead of sliced pork; his Media Noche is a triple-decker club on brioche with porchetta and mustard caviar. Little Bread’s menu also proffers not-so-little snacks like smoked chicken wings with kimchi and Florida honey as well as sweet afterthoughts in the form of guava pound cake with cream cheese frosting, which pairs extremely well with a game of dominoes on the eatery’s backyard patio. 541 SW 12th Ave., Miami, 786-420-2672; lilbread.com

rolicking in the Miami surf in a rare moment of downtime, Zoë Kravitz looks the spitting image of her mother, Lisa Bonet (who rose to fame in the ’80s on The Cosby Show).

Black cornrows swing down to her midsection; a wisp of a black bikini shows off her enviably toned body. The child of Bonet and Miami fixture and rock icon Lenny Kravitz, Zoë is forging her own artistic path in each of her parents’ main fields: on-screen, where this month she reprises her role as Christina in Insurgent, the second installment of the young-adult franchise Divergent, and onstage, where she fronts the electro-glitch-pop trio Lolawolf. This past Art Basel, Kravitz’s band wowed an invite-only crowd at the rock ’n’ roll jeweler Chrome Hearts’ Miami pop-up shop party.

Given her bloodlines, it’s no surprise that Kravitz’s self-professed need to create is simply a part of her DNA. “It’s always what I’ve done, before I even had a real understanding of how the rest of the world saw my parents,” she says. “My dad was always really supportive. My mom always wanted to make sure that this is what I really wanted to do before being in the public eye myself. They knew that’s genuinely who I am—I don’t know what else I would do if I wasn’t creating.”

“It’s so Important to see females supportIng each other, especIally In fIlms for younger people.”

That need for self-expression has manifested itself in a personal style that’s been a hit with the fashion crowd—she even collaborated with Swarovski on a jewelry line—but acting is her primary focus.

Kravitz made her big-screen debut while still in high school in the Catherine Zeta-Jones/Aaron Eckhart rom-com, No Reservations.

Since then, her roles have been a bit more envelope-pushing: a teen prostitute in the Jodie Foster pic The Brave One, a recurring part on Showtime’s Californication, a mutant in X-Men: First Class, and the compelling Nakia in this year’s Sundance hit Dope. But it was her role as Christina, the protective friend to Shailene Woodley’s Tris in the young-adult sci-fi flick Divergent, that brought her wider acclaim; Kravitz reprises the role this month in the second installment. “[My character] Christina comes from the faction of Candor, which is all about honesty; I was really intrigued by that,” says Kravitz. “That’s why she’s kind of an open book—she’s feisty and she’s funny and she’s real—and those are the kind of people that I like to surround myself with, and I’m the same kind of person.”

However, those character traits are not without their downsides, says Kravitz, who admits that “sometimes you go too far, where you just put your foot in your mouth. I definitely struggle with that, so I identified with that part of her. I love the friendship between her and Tris. It’s so important to see females supporting each other, especially in films for younger people. My girlfriends have kept me sane over the years, so I think their friendship and their bond is really beautiful.”

Off-screen, Kravitz and Woodley developed a deep bond, too. While filming the sequel in Atlanta during a hot, muggy summer, the actresses would “always go to Shailene’s house and sit outside and drink wine.”

Beyond the good friends she’s made, Kravitz is still pinching herself over the good fortune to work with Insurgent’s esteemed cast: “It was one of those moments when you look around the room and

think, Oh my god, I’m shooting a scene with Naomi Watts and Kate Winslet—that’s absolutely insane!” she marvels.

This summer, the star wattage amps up further when Kravitz will appear alongside A-listers Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy in George Miller’s blockbuster Mad Max: Fury Road. It’s the first Mad Max in 30 years, and Kravitz plays one of five wives who’ve been captured and are being pursued in a full-throttle car chase across the vast expanses of Namibia. “Aesthetically, it was the most beautiful, creative thing I have ever seen,” she recalls of the project, which came with a fair amount of frightening scenes. “It was really crazy and surreal and intense—we were out in the desert in the middle of nowhere, and all of a sudden, there’d be fire and bullets flying at us. It’s Mad Max, so it was definitely some gnarly shit we were doing.”

When Kravitz isn’t filming, she channels her creative energy into Lolawolf, her band with Jimmy Giannopoulos and James Levy, which has grown from an off-the-cuff side project—“It’s always been something I do in my spare time when I’m not working on a film; it makes me feel happy and creative, and I don’t like being idle”—into a force of its own. ASAP Rocky costarred in their debut video for last year’s single “Jimmy Franco.” And the trio secured two major tours last year, as the opening act for Miley Cyrus and Lily Allen. “It was a big learning curve. We were used to playing really small venues, in front of people we know and love,” she recalls. The stadiums were a big leap. “Miley and Lily were both really supportive. Then there’s the truth of being an opening act: You’ve got to pay your dues. You’re not the band the audience came to see. It gives you thick skin, and you learn to perform even when the audience isn’t giving you that energy.”

Their music, a unique mix of edgy, tribal rhythms and post-modern electro flourishes combined with Kravitz’s fierce commands and vulnerable soulfulness, calls to mind peers like Santigold and

“I can’t ImagIne what It’s lIke for people who come from very normal lIves and all of a sudden become famous.”

M.I.A. It’s a captivating sound that can confound listeners—including her parents. “At first, they were like, ‘Oh, what is this?’ Which is how everyone reacts to it. The music is kind of weird and different. It’s good when you can’t describe it right away or put a genre to it; it represents me well. Now my mom plays it in the house and my dad is super proud.”

Dad even opens the doors to his multiple homes for the band to record in. Kravitz and bandmates Giannopoulos and Levy spent a few days this winter at her father’s Paris apartment to record new material before embarking on a European club tour. “My dad was out of town, so we were at the house just recording music and hanging out before our tour. We’re just trying to find a new kind of vibe.”

Growing up, the vibe was one big extended clan. Though her high-profile parents separated when she was 3, Kravitz doesn’t have the typical hang-ups of a child of divorce. Rather, mom and dad remain tight and loving, and Zoë spent many years with each during her childhood, staying with her mother in Los Angeles until age 11, and then relocating with her father to Miami and New York. “My mom told me that it was important for me to spend time with him,” she remembers. “I’m sure it was hard, but she took it like a champ.”

Lolawolf’s performance during Art Basel was a homecoming gig of sorts for the 26-year-old creative dynamo, who spent her formative years with her dad in the Magic City; she even attended Miami Country Day School from the ages of 11 to 15. “Those are really strange years—that weird in-between place between being an adult and a kid,” says Kravitz. “I associate my time in Miami with that.”

Nevertheless, the city’s natural splendor gave her comfort then, as it does now. “Miami is so beautiful, you have that to fall back on when everything else is falling apart because you’re 13 and confused. You can go to the beach and lie outside.”

Kravitz and her dad, whose eponymous design firm took off in Miami, put down roots in an exquisitely appointed modern villa on Sunset Island in Miami Beach. “It was big and everything was

white and clean-looking, and you weren’t allowed to drink anything dark,” she recalls. In her room hung an oversize portrait of Billie Holiday and various pieces of Holiday memorabilia, including the framed sheet of paper upon which she wrote “Lady Sings the Blues.” The family pet was a hairless dog named Ramon, a breed chosen to preserve the spotless look (no shedding). Ramon didn’t take to the freezing cold of New York City when Kravitz relocated up north, so he remained with friends in Miami. “I saw him last time I was here,” she says, admitting, “I feel kind of bad whenever I see him, too—I have that guilt!”

Today, Kravitz enjoys a close relationship with her famous parents. “It makes things so easy that my parents are still very close, they have so much love for each other,” she says. “My dad and my step-dad [actor Jason Mamoa] get along really well, and my dad loves and is close with my brother and sister. It’s really beautiful. As long as everyone can be in the same room together, and have love for each other, it’s totally healthy.”

She’s grateful for the exposure to a life in the limelight before embarking on her own career. “I can’t imagine what it’s like for people who come from very normal lives and all of a sudden become famous. I’ve been lucky enough to dip my toe in it and feel the water before I got in the pool.”

While her romantic history—which reportedly includes paramours ranging from Gossip Girl’s Penn Badgley to X-Men costar Michael Fassbender to Boris Becker’s son, designer/DJ Noah Becker—has provided fodder for the tabloids over the years, she’s single now, focused on her career and art. “I’m never in one place for more than a couple of weeks, and when I’m home, I just want to be home and do normal things—do the laundry and clean my house and have brunch with friends,” she says. But when Kravitz does date, she notes, a sense of humor is paramount. “I don’t have much of a type; the most important thing to me in a relationship is that they can make me laugh and I can make them laugh. Laughing is just the deepest, sexiest thing.” Spoken like a true free spirit. OD

to stay in shape and eat healthy because we’re always on a plane,” says internationally celebrated DJ Cedric Gervais, who estimates he travels 270 days a year. “If you don’t eat healthy and you don’t work out, you’re going to get sick and you’re going to miss gigs.” Missing gigs is obviously not something that arguably the world’s most popular DJ right now, Calvin Harris, did last year—Harris raked in an estimated $66 million last year, according to Forbes.

On this day, there’s no time for workouts. A classic creative type, R3hab produces when the feeling hits him, and that time happens to be right now. He hunches over his laptop, hands moving like a classical music conductor as the music spills out and he puts together his set for the night. The procrastination is all part of the creative process. “I’ve played a big festival for 50,000 people and didn’t really prepare, and then two hours before, it clicks and it’s all done in a magical hour,” he says. “Or I can sit there and try to prepare three weeks ahead and nothing comes. When you start worrying about these things, then it doesn’t fall into place.”

The music is only part of the package when it comes to a DJ performance. “There are multiple things that we look at when we decide which new guys we are going to try and push forward,” says Adam Russakoff, executive producer/director of

business affairs and talent buyer of Ultra Music Festival. “One of which would be music. Second, which is really important to me, would be the performance—the engagement of the crowd, the energy that they bring and how they present the material.”

As R3hab hops into a chauffeured SUV with his tour manager, Wisa, his energy is fading. He has a show at Story nightclub in a couple of hours, and his eyes start to close during the car ride. Keeping him awake is Instagram (R3hab himself has 335,000 followers), an obsession for most here in America, but part of the job for DJs from around the world. “Branding is the biggest thing, and with today’s technology, social media is a big part of that,” says Brooke Evers, an Australian model-turned-DJ with 285,000 Instagram followers and several magazine covers under her belt.

“Promoters always say, ‘Can you put the flier on your social media?’ They don’t ask about anything else.”

R3hab was part of a group of Dutch DJs such as Hardwell, Nicky Romero, Afrojack, Chuckie, Laidback Luke, and others who exploded onto the music scene from the same generation. “Afrojack was the one to really pop off internationally,” he says. “He saw a certain talent in me, took me under his wing in 2011, and we started working together, and everything slowly came along.”

Gervais, a Miami resident for 17 years, had a more old-school approach. He was the resident DJ at Living Room, Nikki Beach, and then Space before getting noticed and climbing the ranks. “That way is dead,” says Gervais, who now has multiplatinumselling singles and a Grammy on his résumé. “Today, you have to make a big record and get signed to a label or with an agent. Being a resident in a club is not going to take you anywhere. But I’m glad that I had to make people dance every night. Today all these young kids that are coming up are missing the experience of being a real DJ and actually knowing how to play for a crowd.”

F

rom the dance floor looking up, the life of a DJ seems fantastic.

They travel around the world, sipping Champagne on private jets, then crack their knuckles and take their post behind a motherboard of buttons that sends trance-inducing beats bursting out of speakers the size of a Honda, while confetti shoots out from cannons, dancers fall from the sky, and lasers shoot across a dance floor.

Afterward, they party with celebrities until the sun comes up. If it feels like a fantasy, it’s because it is one.

It’s 8:30 pm on a Friday night, in a town sluggish from an intense December and January that blended Art Basel into a New Year’s Eve party into a high season that seemed to last forever. Everything is moving a little bit slower in Miami as the city recovers. The exception is a man by the name of R3hab (aka Fadil El Ghoul), a 27-year-old Dutch EDM DJ who arrived in Miami on a flight from Amsterdam after a stop in London. He races to check into his room at Epic Hotel in downtown Miami in order to catch a minute of alone time before his journey of a night begins.

But it’s too late—90 minutes on a tarmac, plus an hour in customs, means the nap will have to wait until tomorrow. “The hard thing about traveling is that it’s just tiring,” he says. “There’s no direct flight from Amsterdam, and it doesn’t matter if you’re in first class, business class, or coach, it all sucks when it’s 10 hours.”

Unshaven and with hair purposely disheveled, R3hab wheels a carry-on-size bag through the hotel hallway and clutches a six-pack of pressed juices.

Hanging on his shoulder is a backpack containing every necessity in life—his laptop, Bose noisecanceling headphones, and an eye mask and neck pillow for that rest he so desperately craves. “This is a nice room,” he says, before pushing aside three cupcakes left as compliments of the hotel. “Eating healthy is very important.”

Both Avicii and Afrojack were hospitalized during last year’s Miami Music Week, proving that, if you let it, deejaying can be a dangerous sport. “It’s important

CedriC Gervais staying healthy: “I start my day at 5th Street Boxing, where I box every single day with my coach, Dino Spencer. I’ll often work out for a second time at Anatomy at 1220. It’s a great gym.”

Recouping: “For spa treatments, I would recommend the St. Regis spa.” eneRgy up: “I’ll go to dinner at one of the restaurants in the Fontainebleau—I like Stripsteak (4441 Collins Ave., Miami Beach), an amazing steakhouse. I’ll do that before a gig at LIV, usually with David Grutman, a couple of other friends of mine, my tour manager, and Michael Bay.” Rise and shine: “When I play in Miami, I make sure I go home at 5 in the morning and go to sleep so I can wake up for brunch—I love brunches at The Setai on Sunday. Then, when there are DJs in town, Grutman will probably take everyone out on his boat and go cruising around Miami. That’s a must for a DJ when they come here.”

MiChael Brun paRadise Found: “I produce every single day, but when I break, I’ll probably take a walk somewhere around the beach. I live in Bay Harbor, which is not so far from South Beach, so I’ll head down there.” ultRa & WinteR Music Festival: “During Music Week, I spend a lot of my day meeting up with other DJs. Last year, I played at the Pete Tong party. That was a big meeting point because Pete Tong is that kind of guy.

Daytime stuff is more hotel-based, so I was at SLS with Nervo and seeing different friends at different hotels in the area.” eat up: “For lunch, I love Chef Creole (20356 NW Second Ave., Miami Gardens).

because I don’t get to go back to Haiti too often.

For dinner before a show, I always do Hakkasan at the Fontainebleau. I would usually go with Biz Martinez, David Grutman, and my manager, and then we go to the club. Generally I go to sleep after and try to get as much rest as possible.”

ith technology the way it is, almost anyone can be a DJ. Software is cheap, the Internet makes the music accessible, and social media allows for a brand to be created all from the comfort of an aspiring star’s home. “The barriers to entry to be a successful artist are all but removed these days,” says Russakoff. “What I like about it is it allows anybody with some musical ability to get creative with all the tools that are available to them.

Money isn’t a factor anymore, which is great. It’s purely talent-based.”

Becoming a successful DJ is a different story.

The fact that it’s so easy to give it a shot makes competition fierce and saturates the market. “It’s

216 oceandrive.com

very difficult for anyone without the right backing to make it now,” says Louis Diaz, talent buyer/ musical director for Space Miami and The Opium Group. “I stay away from the up-and-coming. I book shows that sell, and for them to sell, they’ve been proven over and over again.”

Which means those already in the inner circle, like R3hab, don’t have to focus on the competition. “It’s a waste of time and energy,” the DJ says as his car pulls up to the Fontainebleau for a pregig meal. It’s now 11 pm (or 5 am Amsterdam time) and R3hab sits down for his first meal of the day at Michael Mina 74. “It’s a 15-hour diet,” he jokes before he and Wisa tuck into roasted bone marrow, a Japanese wedge salad, Michael’s tuna

tartare, lamb meatballs, filet mignon, grilled Colorado lamb chops, and white miso sea bass.

The energy changes with the help of a good meal and the arrival of Biz Martinez, the music director and talent buyer for LIV and Story, two of the top-10-grossing clubs in America, which reportedly pulled in more than $70 million last year. All of a sudden, R3hab has a friend and his spirits are lifted. They crack jokes at each other’s expense and talk about typical guy stuff. Then Mo Garcia and Purple—two of the people who make LIV and Story tick—show up, and it’s a party.

“If you can make them feel comfortable, they’re going to play better,” says Martinez. “These guys are constantly traveling, and they want to see a familiar

face; they want to feel like they’re at home.

How we host them and how we execute their vision in the market is why they continue to come back.”

By the time R3hab, Martinez, and company roll up to the back alley of Story, then head up the stairs to the back of the stage, it’s 1:30 am . It feels like the night should be over, but somehow it’s just beginning. “The way I look at it, deejaying is the dessert for the meal,” says DJ Michael Brun.

“It’s the most immediately gratifying experience of being a DJ and producer.”

Within seconds, R3hab is working the crowd with beats. At first they stare in amazement, snapping photos at a rapid pace, but then he lifts his hands to the heavens and the thousand or so people in the packed house start dancing like no one is watching. As the night ticks on, sweat pours off the brow of R3hab, who at this point hasn’t had any real sleep in roughly 24 hours.

Fans screaming at the top of their lungs makes the job seem more shvitz and clamor than glitz and glamour, but models do meander into the DJ booth to say hello and remind him why he loves Miami, and servers parade around roughly two dozen bottles of Dom Pérignon throughout his set to buyers at prime tables on the dance floor who are adding to their previous purchases of vodka and tequila.

Painted girls dance, lights flash in sync with the music, and confetti drops at just the right times throughout the night. The don of LIV and Story, David Grutman, pats R3hab on the back as he kicks into a second gear, and Jojo Lahoud and Mo Garcia keep the VIP crowd partying. “Miami is a huge stop for any DJ,” says Sujit Kundu, owner of Skam Artist, an agency that represents talent who regularly make their way to Miami. “Clubs like LIV, Mansion, Story, and Wall put Miami on the map.”

They also set the trends for clubs around the globe.

“I really don’t think anyone in the world offers the programming we do in terms of all the superstars

that we have and all the upcoming artists,” says Martinez.

“LIV is one of the most well-known clubs in the world,” adds Brun, who first played there in February 2013. “To be able to headline there was a big deal. It’s a milestone. When you are able to headline at LIV, you’re at a certain point in your career, and it increases your overall value on the market.”

And as we roll through 2015, the sounds will change—less noise and more deep house and chill vibes, according to industry insiders—and the stars will move up and down the charts, but Miami will continue to set the tone, especially with Winter Music Conference and Ultra Music Festival, in their 30th year and 17th year respectively. In 2013, Ultra sold out both of its weekends with a combined total of more than 330,000 people in attendance from 95 countries.

“Being the first festival of the year and arguably the most credible EDM festival in the US, artists invest a lot of their time, effort, and energy into using Ultra Miami as a showcase to lay out their path and set what their message is going to be for the year,” says Russakoff. The message sent on this night was that the party stops for nothing. R3hab blasts the EDM tracks and ignites the crowd until 4:30 am. He jumps, he dances, somehow finding a spark after all his travels. “I think you feed off the energy of the room,” he says as he steps out of the DJ booth and down into the bowels of Story nightclub.

“I was a little jet-lagged and tired, but the good thing about music is it gives you energy.”

After the show, that bed in the high-end Epic Hotel has to wait. Adrenaline keeps R3hab up at least an extra two hours after a set. So on this night, his head won’t even hit the pillow. Instead he’ll party with Jojo and some of those models from earlier, in the VIP green room of Story. He’d keep going, except there’s a 7 am flight to catch to Las Vegas for another show, where surely a nap is on the agenda.

Because after a night in Miami, there’s no better place to sleep than Vegas. OD

with the ever-changing sound of the electronic music scene, Ocean Drive asked adam Russakoff, the executive producer/director of business affairs and talent buyer of Ultra Music festival, to give us his top five acts to watch out for in 2015.

“Musically they’re in the right space at the right time,” says Adam Russakoff.

“They all share that cool, happy, vibey, chill music. Big, loud noise is more or less being taken over with this vibey stuff with the live component. Everything has its time. When something new comes, people tend to gravitate towards it.”

Ocean Drive looks back at a century of history— from the ambitious pioneer to the celebrities to the scandals, plus all the food, real estate, art, and nightlife that have made the Beach what it is today.

PART I

the first 50 years

A boom city from dAy one, miAmi beAch hAs been A budding pArty town since the first bridge wAs built. by jon warech One hundred years ago, the Miami Beach we know today was merely a dream. Carl Fisher, an eccentric millionaire with an affinity for fast cars and wild parties, was vacationing in Miami when he looked at the barren barrier island from across the bay and saw its potential. Maybe he even envisioned an old-time version of what everyone who visits Miami Beach today experiences on a daily (and nightly) basis—the beautiful models splashing around the Atlantic Ocean, the millionaires reveling at the grand hotels. Today, a century after Miami Beach was incorporated, on March 26, 1915, it’s safe to say Fisher’s dreams came true, and then some.

There had been great men before Fisher: Henry and Charles Lum, T.J. Pancoast, the Lummus brothers, and of course John S. Collins all had big hopes for the strip of beach, but it was Fisher who came in, funded the completion of Collins Bridge in 1913, and turned mangroves and farmland into a vacation getaway. “Fisher had a great vision,” says Paul S. George, a Wolfson historian at HistoryMiami and a history professor at Miami Dade College. “He wanted to create a great playground for the affluent, so he took on projects that were big and costly, but for him the sky was the limit in terms of imagination.”

From the start, Fisher sold Miami Beach with wild promotions. He had earned his fortune by selling cars and manufacturing the first bright headlights, and his fame by building the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and ultimately creating the Indy 500. He also loved a good spectacle. Fisher gave away land to anyone willing to build a home, and brought in circus elephants, beauty queens, and President Warren G. Harding to promote the city. “This was a man who walked on a tightrope between two buildings to promote his car dealership, so the elephant thing was really small potatoes for Fisher,” says George. “But that’s what he brought to Miami Beach—a craziness.”

The city as we know it today began to take shape almost immediately. The Browns Hotel (currently home to the famed Prime 112 restaurant) was said to be Miami Beach’s first hotel, and the Jungle Inn, located in what was then literally a jungle at 67th and Indian Creek Drive, was the first speakeasy. But it was Fisher who opened the $2 million Flamingo Hotel (located where the

rebuilt Flamingo apartments are today) on New Year’s Eve in 1920 with a soirée that rivaled any of today’s holiday fêtes, setting the stage for the Beach to be America’s party town.

In those days, the wealthy owned cars, so Miami Beach quickly developed a system of drivable roads, with other services following. “People were coming down here and they needed tires,” says Barbara Katzen, 80, whose parents moved to Miami in 1924 and opened both the Norton Tire Company and eventually the first car rental company in Miami Beach. “Cars were always status symbols; there were a lot of chauffeur-driven cars where the madam would shop and bring her packages back to the cars.”

Fisher laid the groundwork for what Lincoln Road would become by building a hotel on the famous street. His actions jump-started a tourism boom that saw more than 50 hotels, replete with beachfront bathing facilities, dining, and dancing, open their doors. Places such as Smith’s Casino, Hardie’s Casino, and the Miami Beach Casino began to thrive. “The Roney Plaza was the big hotel of the ’30s where they had tea dances every Sunday afternoon and all the dignitaries and stars stayed,” recalls Doradean Wilcox, 91, who moved to Miami Beach as an infant in 1923. “Once they built the causeway, they added a street car that went from Miami’s bayside to the beach. It was a beautiful ride.

You could feel a marvelous breeze as you got about halfway, and smell the oleanders on either side.”

From day one, Miami Beach was a boom town, and though the nation suffered from a stock market crash and the Great Depression, Miami Beach was experiencing a hotel building boom by the mid-1930s. Unfortunately, Carl Fisher lost his fortune (and eventually his life, when he died of a gastric hemorrhage in 1939). But the beachside city he loved bounced back.

Art Deco design took over, and as the Ocean Drive of today began to form, the party returned. “The high school had fraternities and sororities, and each summer from 1938 to 1941, we would rent out a hotel on the beach and have a house party that lasted two weeks,” says Wilcox.

an Easter egg hunt.

1915 was a hell of a year. Although the US wouldn’t officially enter WWI until 1917, German zeppelins were bombing England and a U-boat sank the Lusitania, killing 1,198 civilians, including 128 Americans. On the bright side, booze was still legal, and Miami Beach was open for business. Day-trippers from the mainland took ferries or traveled across the wooden Collins Bridge. “You would have seen the Collins and Pancoast Plantation—mangoes, avocados, papaya, and they grew potatoes copiously,” says Seth Bramson, Miami Beach’s official historian. Bramson notes that there were very few houses and that the day-trippers came for the three bathing casinos. The best sunscreen was a hat, and South Floridians typically kept mosquitoes at bay by wrapping their limbs in newspaper, and with no antibiotics and virtually no vaccines, human life expectancy hovered between 52 and 56 years. On the beach, you might see the now extinct Caribbean monk seal popping its head up off-shore, or a saltwater crocodile. Men and women wore rented woolen one-piece swimsuits, with the women’s looking like oversize, saggy rompers—anything shapely might get you arrested. You’d think women would vote to change the laws, but they weren’t deemed worthy of that right until 1919.—bill kearney

among the new hospitality hot spots at the time, and places like the Pig Trail Inn— an open-air car hop serving all night—began popping up around town. The Forge, which was an actual forge in the ’20s, where estate owners would bring their horses to get shoes, also morphed into a late-night social scene. “In the late ’30s and early ’40s, it was an illegal casino where they used to gamble upstairs and serve drinks on the patio downstairs,” says Al Malnik, who purchased the 41st Street restaurant in 1968 and turned it into a celebrity haven.

The fun came to a screeching halt during World War II when roughly half a million troops were sent to Miami Beach for training. The Beach still had celebrities, as Clark Gable was one of the more recognizable servicemen marching around town, but the hotels were turned into soldier housing and training quarters. “You’d see them training at the park and on the beach,” says Kenneth Roth, 74, who as a kid went fishing off the empty lots on Rivo Alto Island where his family built a home. “We had an icebox in our house, and the Royal Palm Ice Company delivered ice to homes in a horse-drawn wagon. The driver would get out at every home, throw a leather blanket and an ice block over his shoulder, walk it into the house, and throw it into the icebox. We did a lot of sweating in those days.”

What would seem like a disaster for a tourist-driven town, the war actually helped grow Miami Beach as a residential city. A post-war economic boom led many soldiers to return to Miami Beach because “the military got sand in their feet and they saw what a great place this was,” says Roth.

Miami Beach became the place to be in the late ’40s and ’50s. Department stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue and Bonwit Teller drew shoppers to Lincoln Road, while show hotels like the Sans Souci, Casablanca, the Algiers, and the Saxony, and clubs like Copa City and Ciro’s, bustled with celebrities such as Sammy Davis Jr., Dean Martin, and Frank Sinatra. “Back then, the men wore tuxedos to places like the Casablanca, and women would put on mink stoles to go shopping,” says Florence Linden, 89, who moved to Miami Beach in 1950 and whose late husband, Irv, sang and played saxophone and clarinet for Sammy Kaye’s dance band. “A lot of big acts came down here.

My husband played with Sammy Davis Jr. and in the Miami Beach Symphony, which performed in Flamingo Park before moving to the Miami Beach Auditorium. It became a real entertainment town.”

Miami Beach, like the rest of America, wasn’t perfect. There was antiSemitism dating as far back as the Fisher era and segregation up through the ’50s and early ’60s. “There were top entertainers who had to go through the service entrance of hotels, and they weren’t allowed to spend the night,” Linden recalls. “They had to be put up in Liberty City.”

There was also illegal gambling and a mob scene first led by the S&G Syndicate, which would show up at the hotels and take bets long before offtrack betting existed. Then Al Capone and his group of mobsters came in and took over all the illegal activity. “Capone’s gang muscled in and stole it,” says George. “The S&G guys were more finesse than thugs.”

Al Capone and the mob found Miami Beach just as lovely as residents and tourists did.

Miami Beach has always been about being big and bad, and Al Capone lived very large at 93 Palm Avenue, his Palm Island spread. On the night before the 1929 St. Valentine’s Day Massacre in Chicago, he threw a bash at his subtropical island lair with his gun-toting thugs serving canapés to local politicians and café society. Three years later, Scarface went to prison for tax evasion; he got out in 1940, crazed from syphilis, and died in 1947 on Palm Island. With or without Capone, “the boys”—Lucky Luciano, Meyer Lansky, and Dutch Schultz, to name a few—were everywhere in Miami Beach. More recently, Capone’s Palm Island house—which he bought for $40,000— sold for $7.43 million. On this gilded sandbar, crime has always been good for business.—TA

Model CiTy

Female beauty has always played a role in Miami Beach’s appeal.

From day one, models and Miami Beach went hand in hand. Carl Fisher brought in swimsuit-clad women as a publicity stunt to help attract tourists. Bunny Yeager, who came down in the 1940s, became one of the most photographed Miami pinup models of her time. She then got behind the camera and made Bettie Page a star in the ’50s. Later, photographer Bruce Weber shot Calvin Klein’s Obsession perfume ad atop the Breakwater Hotel. In 2008, Victoria’s Secret delivered all of its Angels to the Fontainebleau hotel for the brand’s world-famous fashion show.

Sports Illustrated celebrated the 50th anniversary of its Swimsuit Issue by bringing all of its models here last year. Today, you can regularly see models like Irina Shayk, Anne V, or Nina Agdal on the beach or partying at the nightclubs. It’s no longer a publicity stunt, but it still works.—JW

Miami Beach changed with the times and, for the most part, found itself on the right side of infamy, most notably in 1954 when hotelier Ben Novack opened the Morris Lapidus-designed Fontainebleau hotel. It was the largest hotel in Miami Beach with 554 guest rooms in an 11-story resort that featured a 17,000-square-foot lobby with its signature bow-tie marble floors, Russian and Turkish baths, and 250 cabanas surrounding a gigantic pool. It was fantastic enough to be used as a backdrop in Goldfinger, and to welcome talent like Bob Hope, Lucille Ball, Jackie Gleason, Judy Garland, and so many more. In 1960, Sinatra filmed a television special at the hotel alongside Elvis Presley as the country welcomed the King home from a stint in the military.

“Everyone in the country was talking about the Fontainebleau and how Miami Beach was now this exotic place just a short plane ride away,” says Toby Udine, who honeymooned at the Fontainebleau in 1964 with her husband, Morey, before eventually moving the family from New Jersey to South Florida permanently. “The pool was amazing, and the weather was fantastic. For a couple of young kids in love, it was the perfect getaway. And 50 years later, we returned to celebrate with our three kids and nine grandchildren, and it brought back all of the memories.”

WE’VE ONLY JUST BEGUN

hat year, 1964, was a big year for Miami Beach: A 22-year-old underdog by the name of Cassius Clay defeated Sonny Liston in the heavyweight boxing championship at the Convention Center; the Beatles landed on the beach, splashing around at the Deauville Hotel before filming a second appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show at the hotel; and Jackie Gleason moved his television show here all that same year.

Through it all, the one constant in Miami Beach has been Joe’s Stone Crab, the world-famous establishment that is currently the second-highest-grossing independent restaurant in America. Joe Weiss started cooking at the bathing casinos in 1913 and opened his doors to Joe’s Seafood Restaurant in 1918, and it’s been a Miami Beach staple through booms and busts. “He wasn’t looking to change the world; he was just trying to make a living,” says Steve Sawitz, Weiss’s great-grandson and current COO of Joe’s Stone Crab. Weiss came to Miami Beach from New York on doctor’s orders to find a warmer climate to help his asthma, and here he created a legend. It’s why in the ’30s, ’40s, and ’50s, under the leadership of the charismatic Jesse Weiss, J. Edgar Hoover, Jack Parr, Walter Winchell, David Brinkley, the Kennedys, and even Al Capone ate at Joe’s and why today everyone from Bill Clinton to Miley Cyrus is cracking crabs.

“In a city where the newest, hottest place is always around the corner, there’s a humbleness to Joe’s and the people that work here, but it’s surrounded by the crazy fun,” says Sawitz.

And that sense of family mixed with the craziness is Miami Beach in a nutshell, or in our case, a crab shell.

SiNG OUT LOUd

Merely a fraction of the age of America’s other large cities, Miami Beach sees no slowing down when it comes to growth.

Miami and Manhattan were the only North American cities listed among the “10 most important global cities to the world’s wealthy” in the 2014 Wealth Report issued by London-based Knight Frank, beating out Paris, Beijing, and Dubai. “Even after 100 years, we’ve only just begun. This is a fantastic time to be in Miami,“ says über developer Jorge Pérez of The Related Group, who has no fewer than 300 buildings standing or in development in Miami. “We are making history for the next 100 years at a pace never before experienced. The best is yet to come.”

Miami has a great recording history, from Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours to Missy Elliott’s The Cookbook.

America’s disco era hit the mainstream via Miami Beach when The Bee Gees relocated here after recording the soundtrack for 1977’s Saturday Night Fever. From 1980 to 2005, The Bee Gees, along with such artists as Diana Ross and Barbra Streisand, recorded at the Gibbs’ own Middle Ear Studio in Miami Beach. Gloria and Emilio Estefan also fed the disco maw from their mainland Crescent Moon Studios.

Until 2004, when Chris Blackwell of Island Records sold the Marlin Hotel, legends such as Aerosmith, U2, Robert Palmer, and Beyoncé recorded at the hotel’s South Beach studios. But to Lolo Reskin of Sweat Records, 100 years of Miami Beach music history boils down to one defning omega point: “Iggy Pop, a punk legend and a Miami guy, played a free concert on the beach during the 2007 Art Basel; Miami Beach has never been better.”—TA

Architecture has always defined Miami Beach’s allure.

Miami Beach is in the throes of a starchitect era, with couture parking garages designed by Enrique Norten, Zaha Hadid, Herzog & de Meuron, Frank Gehry, and Rem Koolhaas, just for a start. In fact, Miami Beach began as a moneyed architectural theme park, with Harvey Firestone’s 1917 neoclassical Beaux Arts-style palace leading to a rage for baronial Spanish/Italian/French/“just-make-itEuropean-looking” architecture. In step with the Great Depression, hoteliers built 164 inexpensive Art Deco hotels in the 1930s, adorned with dollops of bright Hollywood Technicolor. Throughout the ’40s, ’50s, and ’60s, as the economy recovered, Miami Beach came to embrace the excess of Miami modernism—the Firestone estate was torn down to make way for 1954’s Fontainebleau, Morris Lapidus’s demented-but-glorious monument to Swinging Miami Beach, and the Beach’s design reality would never be the same. In the ’80s, the Art Deco preservation movement saved buildings that would serve as a backdrop for Miami Vice and countless fashion shoots. Even now, in the starchitect epoch, the Art Deco lollipop skyline of Ocean Drive remains the most beautiful architectural wonder in Miami Beach.—TA

Miami Beach has long been a place to celebrate major milestones in pro sports. The Heat—led

by LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh—partied at LIV and Story when they won NBA championships in 2012 and 2013; Giancarlo Stanton popped Moët at FDR at the Delano Hotel the night he signed a $325 million contract with the Marlins; and NFL players involved in the 10 Super Bowls in Miami talk about the weeklong parties on South Beach as much as they do the actual game. Sports stars and South Beach have been happily married for ages. Babe Ruth received the key to the City of Miami Beach in 1948, and Joe Namath signed his rookie contract with the New York Jets at a local hotel in 1965. The city hosted some memorable sporting events throughout the years as well: There was the Miami Beach Open, a PGA tour event won by Sam Snead in 1950, and the Serbin Open on the LPGA tour won by Babe Zaharias in 1954. The crowning moment, though, occurred in 1964, when 22-year-old Cassius Clay defeated Sonny Liston for the heavyweight championship at what is now the Miami Beach Convention Center, proclaiming that he was “the greatest.”—JW

PART II

the more things change… …the more they stay the same. miami Beach in the 1960s is very much akin to the town we know today. by tom austin The 1960s were an American golden age, and by 1965, Miami Beach was an overripe landscape of wealth, fame, and power. Frank Sinatra was still king, playing the Fontainebleau’s La Ronde Room every season for free, a tribute to the juice of Fontainebleau regulars like Sam Giancana, Meyer Lansky, and Joe “Stingy” Fischetti. Sinatra even set 1967’s Tony Rome at the Fontainebleau, the same year the Miami Herald launched an investigative series on the hotel’s mob ties. In that era, the mayor of Miami Beach was Elliott Roosevelt, a high-rolling son of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. With screw-it-all frankness, Mayor Roosevelt once noted, “The mob doesn’t run Miami Beach—they just own it.”

Miami Beach remained a weird quark in the space/time pop continuum.

In 1968, when Sinatra was warbling away at the La Ronde, the Beatles were dropping acid and San Francisco was still in its Summer of Love period.

Feminists were fighting for women’s rights, but Miami Beach proudly hosted the Miss Universe and Miss USA pageants. At one point, the late pinup photographer Bunny Yeager—who immortalized model Bettie Page on Miami Beach—would send in free pinup photos of herself to be published in the official City of Miami Beach calendar (Yeager was a beauty in her own right).

America was reeling from the 1965 Watts riots in Los Angeles, and the Beach was a particularly complicated maelstrom of race relations. A predominantly Jewish town faced anti-Semitism, yet also discriminated against African-Americans, just as Miami Beach’s old-guard WASPs did within their own enclaves. Ironically, the rise of Cassius Clay into the civil rights symbol of Muhammad Ali, a pivotal moment in American racial politics, occurred in a city where, until 1963, African-Americans were prohibited from spending the night at hotels, even when they headlined those very same hotels as entertainers. Ali, then Cassius Clay, could be spotted training at the 5th Street Gym. What gave Miami Beach a bit of an edge back then was the presence of Richard Nixon, the president angry youth loved to hate. Nixon, who had a house on Key Biscayne, was on hand for the 1972 Republican National Convention on Miami Beach; the Democratic presidential convention of that same year was held on the Beach as well—an alignment that made Miami

Beach the center of American political protest. Some 3,000 anti-Vietnam War activists, many in death masks, turned up to protest Nixon’s re-nomination at the Miami Beach Convention Center. The 1972 conventions were also a kind of daily hootenanny for Dade County teenagers—you’d get stoned, protest, be tear-gassed, and dive into a slap of real life.

Mitchell Kaplan, now a cofounder of the Miami Book Fair International and founder of the Books & Books chain, had just graduated from Miami Beach High School in that year. He was a hometown boy who took the protest beat seriously. “That summer was the last gasp of the American counterculture, happening right in our own backyard,” Kaplan recalls. “Jane Fonda, the Yippies, and everyone else set up in Flamingo Park; I got a subscription to the Black Panther Party newspaper, and years later, asked [party leader] Eldridge Cleaver to sign one of the newspapers. Miami Beach had serious issues, like civil rights and poor, old people, but it was also a kind of fantasy land with a lot of affluence. It was a contradiction, a fading beauty queen that was falling apart. The summer of 1972 was a profound experience for a Miami Beach teenager, but I couldn’t wait to leave and go to college in Colorado.”

The photographer Gary Monroe grew up in Miami Beach and in conjunction with his partner in photography, the late Andy Sweet, set about documenting the Beach of the ’70s. “All these old retirees were slowly vanishing,” Monroe says of that pivotal time in the city’s history. “I shot quite a bit at the old Biscaya Hotel at Fifth Street and West Avenue, which had become a retirement home out of Fellini; now there’s a fancy condo on that site. I also photographed exercise classes on the beach and dances at the old band shell—those years were such a precious legacy.”

In the mid-1970s, the City of Miami Beach and—surprise—private development interests came up with a ruinous, grandiose, and ultimately failed scheme for the wasteland below Fifth Street. The plan was to create a neoVenice complete with canals and water taxis; the residents, many of whom were Holocaust survivors with concentration camp numbers tattooed on their arms, successfully fought the effort.

Murder on ocean drive

Gianni Versace at Casa Casuarina on Ocean Drive in 1996.

Gianni Versace’s senseless death was a profound loss for South Beach.

In 1992, Gianni Versace bought the old Amsterdam Palace apartment building on Ocean Drive and promptly turned it into a notorious mansion, Casa Casuarina. Soon enough, he would find his destiny entwined with that of Andrew Cunanan. Both men, as it happens, were “stars” of Vanity Fair; by 1997, the year America’s most famous gay serial killer hit Miami Beach, Cunanan was a suspect in four other murders of gay men and was being tracked by the magazine’s reporter, Maureen Orth. At 8:40 am on July 15, Versace was returning from his morning ritual of buying magazines at the News Café. As he climbed the steps to Casa Casuarina, Cunanan shot him twice in the head at close range. Cunanan then fled to an empty houseboat off Collins Avenue and killed himself there on July 23 as the police closed in.—TA

before basel Miami Beach’s early art scene had a joie de vivre.

In 1983, artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude famously wrapped several islands in the bay, but back then, South Beach was dangerous, doped up, and low-rent.

Artist Kevin Arrow, who witnessed much of it, says creatives flocked to desolate Lincoln Road where storefronts went for $400 a month. Punk fixtures/ artists David Camp and Elaine Calderalo lived out of one on the corner of Michigan and held shows in its windows. Several years later, Jason Rubell opened a gallery on Lincoln Road. Espanola Way was just as bohemian. Craig Robins rented out space to artists, dirt cheap. Enter the Espanola Way Art Center. Artists came to live, like Felix Gonzalez-Torres and Jack Pierson, or just visit, like William Eggleston, whose South Beach photographs appear in The Democratic Forest. The ’90s brought diversification, such as the avant-garde Alliance Cinema on Lincoln Road, and then development: Robins divested and headed for the Design District, Tony Goldman gentrified Lincoln Road, then Basel planted its flag.—hunter braithwaite

By 1980, South Beach was Florida’s poorest neighborhood, and the Mariel boatlift that year didn’t help matters; 140,000 mostly law-abiding Cuban refugees streamed into Miami, but many Cubans who had been dumped from Castro’s jails also ended up here, seeking out the cheap rents of South Beach. In 1981, Miami-Dade led the United States in murders. That same year, Time magazine devoted a cover story to Miami and South Beach with the headline “Paradise Lost,” as drug smugglers and dealers flooded the town with cocaine from Colombia’s Medellin cartel.

outh Beach was ultimately saved by Art Deco, dime store masterpieces originally created for tourists in the 1930s. Two Art Deco activists, Barbara Capitman and Leonard Horowitz, went to the National Register of Historic Places and a state preservation board hearing in 1979. Typically, the City of Miami Beach sent representatives to fight against the historic designation, but Capitman prevailed, and the Art Deco District became the first 20th-century historic district to be added to the National Register.

In the beginning, Miami Beach symbolized many things—freedom, abandonment, and outlaw creativity—and it all jelled together in 1982, when the renovated Cardozo Hotel opened on Ocean Drive. The cast of regulars included artists Haydee and Sahara Scull (their murals are still up at Puerto Sagua restaurant), the writer John Rothchild, and Christo, who would create Surrounded Islands (11 islands in Biscayne Bay surrounded with pink polypropylene) the following year.

Surrounded Islands was internationally acclaimed, the Art Basel of its day, and the 1984 debut of Miami Vice made Miami Beach a mass-market star.

The first cover of Ocean Drive, January 1993.

In 1986, Bruce Weber shot the Obsession campaign for Calvin Klein on the roof of the Breakwater Hotel; Interview magazine put Miami Vice star Don Johnson on the cover and proclaimed the emergent allure of Miami Beach. Barbara Hulanicki, the founder of Biba—the legendary Swinging London boutique with a clientele that included Mick Jagger and Twiggy—came to the Beach and designed Ron Wood’s nightclub, Woody’s. Hulanicki never left; she worked on most of Chris Blackwell’s hotel properties and is still designing hotels and clothes.

In the ’80s, the development set—from Craig Robins to the late Tony Goldman—tended to be a forward-thinking lot, but Kenny Zirilli, who owned the then-faded Raleigh hotel, was on a whole different level. Actor Rupert Everett lived on Miami Beach for years, and The Raleigh—“a place full of glamour”—figures prominently in his autobiography, Red Carpets and Other Banana Skins. The book is full of evocative vignettes, from Anna

Nicole Smith parading “naked through the foyer” to the couple Kate Moss and Johnny Depp “looking like identical budgies.”

The usual progress of gentrification begins with artists drawn to cheap rents: On Miami Beach, the art community of the ’80s and ’90s included Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Roy Lichtenstein, Larry Rivers, Nam June Paik, Antoni Miralda, Mark Handforth, Dara Friedman, Fernando Garcia, Carlos Betancourt, and Carlos Alfonzo. Typically, gay pioneers seem to follow the first influx of artists, and in 1991, one of the world’s most famous gay men, Gianni Versace, discovered Miami Beach.

Versace flew in for the reopening of the Versace boutique in Bal Harbour and set the wheels in motion for his Ocean Drive mansion, Casa Casuarina, an opulent palace that became a haunt for Madonna, Sylvester Stallone, Elton John, and every known emissary of the glossy press. Versace launched the Miami Beach ’90s, which came to be defined by the Delano, Ian Schrager’s collaboration with Philippe Starck, and Madonna. The Material Girl set up camp in a mansion near Vizcaya, just down the block from Stallone. Red-velvet-rope culture was creeping in, but nightlife still intersected with the art world, with Kenny Scharf, Roberto Juarez, José Parlá, Craig Coleman (aka Varla), Howard Davis, and Tomata du Plenty creating nightclub installations.

At the time, gay dollars were already transforming Miami Beach—also the largest destination for gay men with AIDS. Many of those AIDS sufferers were on steroids and buffed up; Out magazine called Miami Beach a “palm-lined cliff that mighty buffaloes throw themselves over.” The late Pedro Zamora, a Miami kid whose parents came over in the Mariel boatlift, went out to the clubs of that era, and as a cast member on MTV’s Real World, Zamora, an openly gay man with AIDS, changed television culture with his fight for AIDS awareness on the show. His life story became an MTV biopic written by Dustin Lance Black of Milk and was introduced by Bill Clinton.

Throughout the ’90s, the City of Miami Beach was often at odds with the organic, steadily evolving sophistication of Miami Beach culture. In 1990, Nelson Mandela came to Miami Beach as part of a seven-city United States tour; he was officially snubbed by the City of Miami Beach thanks to his support for Fidel Castro and Yasser Arafat. Civil rights activists called for a national 1,000-day boycott of Miami Beach businesses, and the city lost millions. In the same era, Mayor Alex Daoud was doing unseemly favors for the old guard of Mid-Beach power brokers, people like bankers David Paul and Abel Holtz; in 1993, Daoud was sentenced to 18 months in prison for tax evasion, accepting bribes, and obstructing an investigation.

Lights, Camera, aCtion!

Hollywood has had a decades-long love affair with Miami Beach—and with good reason.

Miami Beach has aged extremely well—just ask Hollywood. From a swampy marshland-turned-gangster getaway, to today’s posh real estate reality shows, the city has always played the character that was just different from the rest of the United States: alligators as pets, Cubanasos slamming dominoes, international beauties against pastels. That difference can be seen in lots of Miami-based flms and TV shows—Jerry Lewis as The Bellboy, the dark noir of Frank Sinatra as detective Tony Rome living on a houseboat, Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight going over the Julia Tuttle Causeway in Midnight Cowboy, The Jackie Gleason Show in “the sun and fun capital of the world.” “It’s hard to fnd an iconic moment that tops, for better and for worse, the Ocean Drive scene from Scarface where Tony Montana kills his would-be executioners on the street in front of the old Jewish ladies,” says Graham Winick, the city’s flm and event production manager, who’s been luring production companies here for over a dozen years. But the subtropical grit and allure of Michael Mann’s Miami Vice served as a demarcation for our current growth. “Mann presented this idealized version of Ocean Drive,” says Winick. “He flled in the cracks, painted the buildings, flled it with beautiful women.” The following decade saw a Miami Beach renaissance fueled, in part, by our sexy, semi-dangerous image. With that boom, Miami Beach hosted the colorful, Deco-residing brilliance of Robin Williams and Nathan Lane in The Birdcage, J.Lo and George Clooney in Out of Sight, the espionage of Burn Notice, the psychosexual shenanigans of Nip/Tuck, and the violence of Dexter, not to mention plenty of reality shows. No matter what its age, Hollywood will always love this island—beautiful, sometimes strange, and always unique.—rob goyanes

n 2002, the launch of Art Basel in Miami Beach proved to be the party that united everyone, from the Mid-Beach crew of government officials and power brokers to artists and fashion designers.

It was no doubt a game changer—the world’s biggest and best in the art world descending on our town, and ultimately opening the eyes of visitors who would soon want to become residents.

The recent go-go years have had a few hiccups, such as the recession of 2008, but Miami Beach has come roaring back—money has poured in from everywhere. Just like the heyday of the ’50s and ’60s, when colossal properties were built every year to top one another, ever-grander hotels and condominiums are marching north up Collins Avenue, from Ian Schrager’s Edition to Faena to the Surf Club.

Artist Michele Oka Doner grew up as a child of privilege in Miami Beach; her father, Kenneth Oka, served as mayor in the ’50s. Oka Doner, who is currently working on the sets and costumes for Miami City Ballet’s 2016 production of George Balanchine’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, has a true grasp of Miami Beach history. With Micky Wolfson, who opened the Wolfsonian museum on Washington Avenue in 1986, she coauthored 2005’s Miami Beach: Blueprint of an Eden.

(Wolfson’s father, Mitchell Wolfson Sr., served as mayor of Miami Beach in the ’40s.) “Just 50 years ago, this was a quiet, southern, white-bread kind of town,” says Oka Doner. “It’s a much more international city now, a unique mix that’s producing a creative cauldron.”

On April 13, at Frank Gehry’s New World Center, O, Miami, the Miami-based poetry festival started in 2011, will host a Wallcast poetry reading with two artists of the highest order: former United States poet laureate Kay Ryan and Jamaal May, an emerging poet from Detroit. In honor of Miami Beach’s centennial, O, Miami’s P. Scott Cunningham is also presenting what he laughingly calls a “somewhat intellectual but super fun” nod to Miami Beach history.

“At O, Miami, we’re always embracing every aspect of Miami Beach— high and low; the city doesn’t have to take itself so seriously anymore, or repudiate what’s considered ‘low’ culture. Good or bad, Miami Beach is now a completely legitimate city.” OD

The narrative arc of the bohemian-meets-the-beach heyday would come to an end, symbolically, with the tragic murder of Versace in 1997, on the steps of Casa Casuarina. To usher in the new millennium, Donatella Versace threw an end-of-the-line New Year’s Eve party at Casa Casuarina, attended by Jennifer Lopez, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Madonna. As guest Rupert Everett would have it, “la belle époque was officially over.” Madonna and Stallone sold their houses, but the party was just getting started; Versace’s death simply made Miami Beach more famous and even more marketable.

The man who connected all the dots in the ’80s and ’90s was Louis Canales, who worked with such clubs as Club Nu, Semper’s, and Bar Room. “In the early 1990s, New York magazine called Miami Beach the new St. Barth’s, and that article created so much energy,” says Canales, now creative director of KIWI Arts Group, which presents the work of such photographers as Warhol-stalwart Christopher Makos. “The scene of the early days was over; it was time for hedge fund managers and bottle-service clubs. You can’t hold on to what Miami Beach used to be—it’s like a high school football star at 40, still talking about the big game—but I’m grateful for the memories.”

“We are making history for the next 100 years at a pace never before experienced. the best is yet to come.”

eminent domain Gold Coast Report The Auberge Beach Residences & Spa will feature 171 luxury condo units when it opens later this year.

Fort LauderdaLe rising

MiaMi May have taken the lead in this real estate cycle, but Major high-end residential developMents are coMing to areas outside the Magic city. by sean mccaughan The times, they are a-changing all over South Florida, and the towns north of Miami are certainly no exception. With last year’s demolition of Ireland’s Inn, a midcentury oceanfront building that was once quite literally the poster child of historic preservation in Broward County, Fort Lauderdale Beach’s shrinking acreage along the Atlantic is becoming increasingly high end. The bright pink building, with its swooping curved shape, faintly reminiscent of a mini Fontainebleau, had in 2005 graced the poster of a photography exhibition by Robin Hill on the

city’s imperiled midcentury architecture at the Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale. Now, there will be a new beauty: Soon to sprout on that spot at 2200 North Atlantic Boulevard is the Auberge Beach Residences & Spa (aubergebeach.com), a luxury-focused tower of oceanview condos being built by The Related Group as one of its largest investments north of the Dade/Broward line in this real estate cycle.

The Auberge will certainly be impressive, with 171 condo units continued on page 244

ranging in size from 1,500 to 5,000 square feet, in two towers that will break ground later this year. But it won’t be alone. Just down the beach, a gigantic hotel on Fort Lauderdale Beach designed by the internationally renowned modernist architect Michael Graves is finally coming back to life. Its opening day, originally planned for 2009 as a Trump

244 oceandrive.com

International Hotel & Tower, never came, but it will have another chance as a Conrad Hotel and condominium called The Ocean Resort Residences Fort Lauderdale Beach (theoceanfortlauderdale.com). The 24-story tower, designed by Graves with an ocean liner aesthetic, is getting a $34 million upgrade by architecture firm Garcia Stromberg—led by Oscar Garcia, who helped Graves with the original design.

The condo-hotel’s 290 units will range in size from 499-square-foot studio pied-à-terres (doubling as standard hotel rooms) to three penthouse units, the largest at 4,100 square feet.

Near the Conrad, the Paramount Fort Lauderdale (paramountresidences.com), an 18-story condo tower with 95 luxury units that broke ground in December, replaces another midcentury beach hotel, a grim and institutional Howard Johnson’s without any distinctive architectural features. Slated to be completed by late 2016 or early 2017, the Paramount includes units ranging in size from 1,910-square-foot two-bedrooms to 3,474-square-foot four-bedrooms with “convertible” (albeit windowless) dens, beginning at $1.2 million.

In Fort Lauderdale’s “South Beach” area, the Bahia Mar Fort Lauderdale Hotel (bahiamarhotel .com), known as the home of the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, is getting its own major overhaul. The hotel will be completely renovated and updated, with new rooms added to the oceanfront side, along with retail and restaurants lining A1A,

and an expanded marina and public space to the west, all in a park-like setting. It will be “a permanent residence for the boat show for the next 50 years,” says developer Jimmy Tate, who believes Fort Lauderdale “can have the same types of development and quality as Miami.”

Tate is taking advantage of the Bahia Mar’s expansive 39-acre site, which he says is mostly underutilized now, as well as its location, towards the slightly “tired and old” southern end of Fort Lauderdale Beach, which he believes is ripe for change. “We truly hope to transform that area into something significant,” he says. While still in early development, he plans to submit designs to the city for approval in “either mid-April or May.” Moving up the New River, to the heart of downtown Fort Lauderdale, Related is developing Icon Las Olas (iconlasolas-fortlauderdale.com) along the Fort Lauderdale Riverwalk. Related announced the 272-unit condo tower way back in 1999, but the project stalled during the recession. With a healthy real estate market, as well as design modifications with its historic neighbor, Stranahan House, in mind, Icon Las Olas has been reborn. There’s also a joint venture between Stephen Ross’s Related Companies and Jorge Pérez’s Related Group to reinvent the W Fort Lauderdale. All 147 condo residences in the property’s West Tower will be renovated and marketed, while the hotel’s public spaces and guest rooms will get a total revamp, as well as a big-name chef opening up a restaurant.

From there, the trend continues to the west.

Flagler Village and FATVillage art district are probably the part of Fort Lauderdale most known for its burgeoning urbanism, where new construction is pedestrian-friendly, mixed-use, and dense enough to reduce the need for a car. Then, of course, there’s Metropica, the $1 billion mixed-use retail, residential, and commercial megaproject even farther west, in Sunrise near Sawgrass, which will create its own walkable, urban-yet-leafy community from scratch with the help of designs from Chad Oppenheim, among others. As for views, you’ll have the vast and quite beautiful Everglades instead of the Atlantic; plus, there’s shopping, shopping, shopping. OD

Flagler Village ramps up its art and creative appeal, and the neighborhood develops. by sean mccaughan

In a few years, Fort Lauderdale’s Flagler Village, which encompasses FATVillage (for Flagler Art Technology), will be home to the All Aboard Florida passenger rail station, but it’s already the center of Fort Lauderdale’s increasingly less auto-dependent future. Today, it’s a blossoming urban neighborhood of art and culture, not to mention beer, tacos, and an overall hip vibe. Fort Lauderdale, anyone?

Forward Thinking

As more projects breAk ground, A preconstructionfocused reAltor And second-generAtion developer discuss why miAmi is A mArket thAt’s not slowing down. moderated by julia ford-carther

There are more than 200 preconstruction projects in various states of completion throughout South Florida, and SBI Realty broker Ines Flax and Carlos Melo, a principal of Melo Group, are in the middle of all the action. Here, Flax and Melo explain the allure of buying and selling Miami’s real estate future.

248 oceandrive.com

Carlos Melo: In 2006, you were buying a place that wasn’t done [and] construction wasn’t promised. It wasn’t worth living in neighborhoods like Edgewater, Brickell. Now, you’re finding a place where the people are living.

Ines Flax: Right now, wherever you go in the world—New York, Hong

Kong, London, anywhere— people are all talking about Miami.

CM: Miami’s a brand. Now, it’s much easier than when we did our first building with 50 percent [down]. During the downturn, we were under construction when nobody was doing anything.

We did the first condominium after the crash, in

2011—23 Biscayne Bay, a 2,000-unit condominium.

Everybody said, “Those guys are crazy.” The local people couldn’t apply for a loan, but what we saw was that people from other countries—South America and Europe—were trying to buy [but didn’t] need a loan.

In those countries, the people know this model very well and pay for the units during the construction. The market was there; I brought it here because those people won’t buy foreclosures, short sales. They want to put the money someplace and know that the building is going to be done. We started with this

model, and after that, it changed the market; everybody started doing it.

We are finishing Bay House, open in April. It’s all three-bedrooms with private elevators. What I’m seeing now [is] people from South America want a second or third home [and] they have big families. And that’s one of the reasons [for the three-bedrooms].

IF: What I like about Bay House is that it’s all large apartments. South Americans have huge houses in South America—10,000 square feet is nothing. They come here and most of the continued on page 250

Fun House

At first glance, there’s little about David Grutman’s Mediterranean-style house that would suggest it’s the home of one of the country’s premier nightclub operators. Its traditional terra-cotta shingles, porte-cochère, and primly manicured lawn don’t quite sync with what you’d imagine would appeal to a guy who rules the nightlife scene in Miami. “When I bought [the property] last July, everyone told me I was crazy,” Grutman exclaims. “They said I was buying a house my grandmother would want.” Yet, just inside the foyer, a gumball machine filled with neon-hued candies offers an initial clue about the colorful character who lives within the sprawling waterside mansion.

Situated on a double lot on Sunset Island, the house’s leading selling points, according to Grutman, were its views of the water, its wide lot with 210 feet of waterfront (ideal for his 40-foot VanDutch yacht, called Groot), and its massive backyard. Surveying the property’s landscape, continued on paGe 256

EminEnt Domain abode & Beyond The kitchen countertop is made of white quartz, and the lighting fixtures are from Restoration Hardware with a chrome finish; the clean, sleek look is made less serious with playful elements such as the Cap’n Crunch box mounted on the wall. right: Grutman (left) and interior designer François Frossard.

Grutman easily saw the potential for the lifestyle he wanted, and he collaborated with his longtime friend, designer François Frossard— known for his restaurant and nightclub designs—to convert the 5,000-square-foot residence and grounds into an inviting, exciting estate that’s as much a comfort zone as it is a party pad.

By night, Grutman spends his time lording over Miami’s two hottest nightclubs—LIV, the Fontainebleau Miami Beach’s rocking doubleheight dance haven, which reportedly raked in $40 million last year, and Story, South Beach’s famed hot spot in South of Fifth. “We have the best DJs, the best

crowd—we love dominating the nightlife market in Miami,” Grutman says. By day, though, he sleeps in, then spends afternoons mostly on the phone with his staff, talent agents, and promoters as well as musicians and artists who perform at his clubs. As an antidote to his crazy work life, Grutman tasked Frossard with crafting interiors that exuded comfort. “Dave works nonstop; he’s always on the go,” says Frossard. “So the home needed to be more like a safe haven or retreat for him, to [give him] a break from the nightlife scene.”

The house also needed features that would make it easy for Grutman to entertain.

While his only roommates are Charlie and Kona, his English setter and Australian shepherd, and a one-eyed cat named Winker (who’s known to cause mayhem by occasionally jumping into the pool), Grutman often plays host to a wide range of visitors, including DJs, artists, musicians, and celebrities from all over the world. “I love spending time with creative people, so I have an open-door policy,” he says. “I like people to feel that when they come from out of town they have a comfortable place to stay in Miami that’s not a hotel.

You never know who’s going to be here.”

To make the home both

comfy and guest-friendly, Frossard’s first step was to reconfigure the dining room and kitchen by knocking down the wall that separated them and opening up the rooms to form one large entertaining space. An expansive new kitchen island rimmed with white leather bar stools, crisp white cabinets, and a circular breakfast table now make this gathering space the “center point of the home,” Frossard explains.

The designer also gutted and redid all of the bathrooms—encasing the guest bath with floor-to-ceiling Calacatta marble—and refinished the floors throughout. With the shell complete,

the duo then started from scratch on the décor, shopping in Wynwood and the Design District and in New York to fit out the living spaces and multiple guest rooms with mostly neutralcolored modern furnishings and quiet accents that set a soothing tone throughout.

“You would think I’d have a stripper pole, and this and that [clubby accoutrement], but there’s none of that kind of stuff,” says Grutman.

Grutman’s playful side is instead revealed in his collections of toys and art—the only significant objets he brought with him from his previous home, a penthouse condo on Belle Isle. As continued on page 258

Outside, more of the fun stuff unfolds. With a few swift gestures and some additional landscaping, Frossard reshaped what was a virtually empty lawn into a variegated yet relaxed playground. A massive circular swing bed—large enough for two or more people—hangs from a branch of the backyard’s only tree, which is also ringed by a semicircular built-in bench topped with plump custom cushions that can seat a sizeable crowd and overlooks the water. A colorful totem sculpture made by another local artist sits at the far corner of the yard.

Frossard also added a flavorful mix of furnishings and accents around the pool.

After ambling through its flowing spaces, it’s easy to see how the house has become the perfect place for a teddybear-playboy-madman like Grutman to live

and sometimes work—in addition to managing his clubs, the self-made kingpin is currently planning a new hotel and 500-seat restaurant as well as a possible reality TV show with a “nightclub rescue theme.” Refreshed as it is with Frossard’s deft structural tweaks, fine-tuned furnishings, and custom accents as well as Grutman’s quirky art and collectibles, the Mediterranean-inspired abode now hits all the right notes for this crowd-pleasing entrepreneur to contentedly call it home.

inviting as the contemporary interior spaces are, these attention-grabbing collectibles, photographs, paintings, and sculptures pepper the rooms with zippy pops of energy and color. “What’s great is that most of the art is by local artists,” says Grutman, who counts works by Santlov, Alex Turco, and Alex Yanes among his favorites.

A set of custom-designed shelves in a sitting area off the kitchen, one of the few lounge-worthy spaces in the home, with smoky blue velvet chairs, serves as a place to display a portion of his hundreds of toys—cartoonlike Kidrobots, tiny soldiers, Matchbox cars, Mr. T and Doughboy figurines—like a peanut gallery of pals along one wall.

“A mix of materials is very important; adding those layers to your space is going to give it warmth, depth, personality, and character, the things that can sometimes get lost, especially in really modern, glitzier environments,” says interior designer Thom Filicia, who designed the Architectural Digest Oasis at The James during December’s Design Miami, and who is currently at work on Biscayne Beach, slated to open in East Edgewater in 2016. “When I look at the three things that really define the Miami aesthetic, I find the glitz to be the one you need the smallest amount of—a little goes a long way.” With Biscayne Beach, Filicia is straddling the line between modern, sophisticated urban life, and respecting the relaxation, easiness, and casual elegance that come with living in a waterfront community. “A lot of what we have traditionally seen in Miami is a little bit ‘slick,’ white, urban, international, glitzy,” says Filicia, who moved away from that “one-dimensional” aesthetic by mixing elements like woods, stones, and metals in a variety of finishes. “There’s lots of room for layers, which I think is where Miami is going. It’s just softer and more approachable, but it still feels at home in the city.” Here, a look at ways you can capture that multidimensional aesthetic in your own Miami abode. OD

THE HUSBAND AND WIFE DUO BEHIND ADD INC ARE TAKING INTERIORS TO NEW HEIGHTS, LITERALLY. BY JEAN NAYAR Among the tastemakers reshaping Miami’s skyline, two of the busiest are architects Rachel and Jonathan Cardello. Since moving to Miami from Boston 10 years ago, the couple, who head up the Miami office of ADD Inc (now merged with Stantec), have been tapped as arbiters of luxury by collaborating on the design of high-profile condo projects like the Ritz-Carlton Residences on Miami Beach, Jade Signature in Sunny Isles, and Solitair in Brickell. Among their innovative touches are wine closets, glass appliances, morning bars in bedrooms, and dog grooming areas. “Instead of white, white, white, we’re focusing on warmth and texture and comfort with elements like stones with deep veining, different woods, and a variety of materials—some matte, some with sheen—that give depth to the environment,” says Jonathan.

Halep took home eight titles in a 16 month span, including two in 2014. She climbed her way to her frst Grand Slam fnal at Roland Garros but could not defeat Maria Sharapova.

The 2015 Road to Singapore is ofcially underway, with the frst leaderboard of the year-long quest to reach the BNP Paribas WTA Finals Singapore presented by SC Global revealed just a few weeks ago. The Road to Singapore is a season-long campaign that will see the stars of the WTA through their journey from the beginning of the season right to its culmination at the WTA Finals in Singapore.

Valuable points are on the line during the months of February and March at events in Antwerp, Pattaya City, Dubai, Rio De Janiero, Doha, Acapulco, Monterrey, Kuala Lumpur, Indian Wells and Miami – ten of the 54 events in 33 countries that comprise the WTA calendar and Road to Singapore.

Despite the fact that the 2015 WTA Finals are nine months away, the early tournaments of the Road to Singapore can set the tone for the season and even begin to identaify who the Elite Eight will be.

The 2015 WTA Finals will feature the Top 8 singles and doubles players in the world competing in a round-robin

event. The event is much more than a tennis competition, however, as invitationals featuring Legends and Rising Stars, music from local and international artists, the popular Fan Festival and much more highlight the ten-day sport entertainment extravaganza.

“The 2014 BNP Paribas WTA Finals Singapore presented by SC Global was an incredible event with a great atmosphere,” said WTA Finals champion and World No.1 Serena Williams.

“Singapore is an amazing city and their fans and the organizers have been fantastic hosts during these past 10 days. I can’t wait to compete again next year with the goal of being back in Singapore in 2015.”

In these frst few tournaments of the 2015 Road to Singapore, keep an eye on the seasoned veterans, looking to cement their place in the history books; dangerous contenders, knocking at the door of the top eight; and Rising Stars, poised to break through and assert themselves on the world’s biggest stages – chances are you’ll see each at the 2015 WTA Finals Singapore.

ANA IVANOVIC | Age: 27 (06.11.1987) Residence: Basel, Switzerland Birthplace: Belgrade, Serbia Height: 6’ (184 cm) Weight: 152 lbs (69 kg) Plays: Right-handed Ivanovic made an excellent return to former glory, fnishing in the Top 5 for the frst time since 2008. She took home four titles, which included the 15th of her career in Tokyo. The Serbian also managed to defeat Maria Sharapova on clay in Rome, which made her only the second player to take down the Russian on clay since the 2011 Roland Garros. Ivanovic put together one of her best seasons and looks to continue that form in 2015.

CAROLINE WOZNIACKI | Age: 22 (11.07.1990) Residence: Monte Carlo, Monaco Birthplace: Odense, Denmark Height: 5’10” (177 cm) Weight: 139 lbs (63 kg) Plays: Right-handed In 2014, Wozniacki had her sixth straight Top 10 season fnish, which is the longest active streak. Wozniacki made it to her second Grand Slam fnal (US Open) and lost to Serena Williams. She later proved another type of athletic ability by completing the NYC marathon in 3 hours and 26 minutes. Wozniacki has won at least one title for seven consecutive years. Make no mistake, she’s looking to make waves at the Miami Open.

Kerber is a perennial contender, having reached the third round or better in 12 of the last 13 Grand Slams.

Her play earned her a quarterfnals appearance at Wimbledon. In addition, she played in the quarterfnals in the Miami Open. Although she fell to eventual champ Serena Williams, Kerber is in contention for this year’s title once again.

EKATERINA MAKAROVA | Age: 26 (07.06.1988) Residence: Moscow, Russia Birthplace: Moscow, Russia Height: 5’11” (180 cm) Weight: 143 lbs (65 kg) Plays: Left-handed Makarova picked up her second career title at Pattaya City, her frst since 2010. This year Markarova reached the 3rd round or better in all four Grand Slams for the frst time in her career. Her marked improvement shows she is picking up steam and will be a tough contender for the other players on the WTA to face. The Russian also plays an impressive doubles schedule and has ranked highly in competition.

2015: 30th Anniversary —STEPHANIE SAYFIE AAGAARD

Happy 30th Anniversary! Wow, can you believe the Miami Open presented by ItaĂş, is rocking its third decade of spectacular tennis and style and you get to celebrate with us! Geez, I remember back when the tennis stars used to practice at a local high school, the scoreboards were manually changed and there was not a purple court in sight! The most glamorous tennis tourney in the world, the Miami Open, is a far cry from the day it started in 1985 which marked the frst time in 56 years that a new two-week tournament featuring men and women was launched. Key Biscayne marked the home of the Miami Open, as Miami-Dade County christened the Crandon Park Tennis Center, a 30-acre expanse that is transformed each year from a public tennis facility into the sensational tennis tourney we look forward to each year. Yes, there have been changes, improvements and of course, major growth over the years. Giving birth and nurturing an event like this is never easy but fans focked from near and far to applaud

In capturing his 2nd Wimbledon title, Djokovic extended his streak of winning at least one Slam title in a season to four consecutive years. The Serbian claimed seven titles in eight fnals, the highest mark on the ATP World Tour. After taking down the world’s best in the ATP World Tour Finals in London for the third consecutive year, Djokovic is the man to beat. As the reigning Miami Open champion, expect Djokovic to be ready to defend his title.

ROGER FEDERER | Age: 33 (08.08.1981) Residence: Bottmingen, Switzerland Birthplace: Basel, Switzerland Height: 6’1” (185 cm) Weight: 187 lbs (85 kg) Plays: Right-handed Federer continued to defend his spot amongst the game’s elites with fve singles titles on the season. At age 33, Federer became the oldest player to fnish in the top 2 in the Emirates ATP Tour Rankings history. While dazzling crowds across the globe, Federer fell just short of capturing his 8th Wimbledon title. The Swiss ace fnished in the Top 10 for the 13th consecutive season, a streak not seen since Ivan Lendl (’80’92). His two ATP Masters 1000 victories (Cincinnati & Shanghai), as well as leading Switzerland to its frst Davis Cup title, helped further cement his legacy as one of the greatest to ever play the game and makes him a tough out for anyone trying to take it all in Miami.

By adding another Roland Garros title and his undisputed reputation as one of the best clay court players of all time, Nadal tied tennis great Pete Sampras with 14 Grand Slam victories. The No.1 Spaniard was an Australian Open fnalist and fnished with four titles on the season. A four time fnalist at the Miami Open, Nadal is a legitimate contender. Back at full strength and barreling into 2015, could this be the year Nadal captures his frst title in Miami?

STAN WAWRINKA | Age: 29 (28.03.1985) Residence: St. Barthelemy, Switzerland Birthplace: Lausanne, Switzerland Height: 6’ (183 cm) Weight: 179 lbs (81 kg) Plays: Right-handed Last season was a year of frsts for the Swiss No. 2. Wawrinka captured his frst Grand Slam title in the Australian Open, frst ATP Masters 1000 title in Monte Carlo and claimed victory at the Davis Cup with Switzerland for the frst time. En route to his Australian Open title, Wawrinka took down the likes of Djokovic, Nadal and Berdych.

Moving into the Top 5, Wawrinka is out to prove he belongs with the elites. Playing the best tennis of his career, Wawrinka is threatening to have the season of his life and is a threat for the title in Miami.

He ended the season with a career-high 54 wins and managed to capture four titles. Rising to No. 5 in the world, Nishikori is currently the highest-ranking Asian player in ATP World Tour history. With speed and precision, Nishikori is emerging as one of the young guns poised to shape the future of tennis.

As a semi-fnalist in Miami in 2014, Nishikori is looking to go a little bit further this time around.

ANDY MURRAY | Age: 27 (15.05.1987) Residence: London, England Birthplace: Dunblane, Scotland Height: 6’3” (190 cm) Weight: 185 lbs (84 kg) Plays: Right-handed The 2013 Wimbledon winner looks to keep fnding success as Murray has captured at least one title in nine consecutive seasons.

Murray also tacked on three more titles to his resume and managed to reach the semifnals at Roland Garros. The Miami Open winner in 2013, Murray is looking to make sure the trophy goes home with him this year.

The Czech grabbed two titles, including one in Rotterdam over eventual US Open champion Marin Cilic. Berdych has reached at least one fnal in 11 consecutive years and is a dangerous player to contend with. Last year, Berdych pushed all the way to the semifnals in Miami. Berdych looks poised to make another run at this year’s tournament.

MILOS RAONIC | Age: 24 (27.12.1990) Residence: Monte Carlo, Monaco Birthplace: Podgorcia, Montenegro Height: 6’5” (196 cm) Weight: 216 lbs (98 kg) Plays: Right-handed The big serving Raonic impressed at Wimbledon where he made his frst Grand Slam semifnals. He also became the frst player born in the 1990s to qualify for the World Tour Finals. After winning a personal-best 49 matches, Raonic became the 1st player from Canada to end the season in the Top 10. Raonic reached the quarterfnals or better at 7 ATP Masters 1000 events, a feat only Federer and Ferrer matched. With more experience under his belt, this puts him in good shape to be a top contender in Miami.

MARIN CILIC | Age: 26 (28.09.1988) Residence: Monte Carlo, Monaco Birthplace: Medjugorje, Bosnia & Herzegovina Height: 6’6” (198 cm) Weight: 196 lbs (89 kg) Plays: Right-handed Marin Cilic surprised the tennis world, and rebounded beautifully after missing most of 2013, by taking the US Open title and winning three other titles. His 54 match wins accounted for a personal best and he became the frst Croat to end the year in the Top 10 since Ljubicic (’06). With a newfound game and confdence, Cilic looks to prove his 2014 was not just a stroke of good luck but rather a player reborn. Cilic is the perfect dark horse going into Miami.

DAVID FERRER | Age: 32 (02.04.1982) Residence: Valencia, Spain Birthplace: Javea, Spain Height: 5’9” (175 cm) Weight: 160 lbs (73 kg) Plays: Right-handed The No.2 Spaniard proved that age is simply a number. Ferrer closed out the season in the Top 10 for the 5th year in a row. Take note, Ferrer is not going away anytime soon and is ftter than ever. The player with a knack for winning tough rallies claimed his frst victory in a decade over then No.1 Nadal in the ATP Masters 1000 Monte Carlo. By defeating Nadal, Ferrer proved his chances in Miami will be more than just a long shot against the top dogs.

PARTING SHOT

100 Years On

A century hAs gone by, And while MiAMi beAch is A very different plAce todAy, soMe things never chAnge. by jon warech

Visionary Julia Tuttle trades the freezing cold of Cleveland to start a mainland Miami boom.

The Cleveland Cavaliers, fresh off their acquisition of Miami’s LeBron James, are still waiting for their boom.

Joe Weiss’s lunch counter is open, but won’t serve stone crabs for another six years.

J.N. Lummus became Miami Beach’s first mayor after rallying the 33 registered voters on the island.

The 20-horsepower Model T hits the 1 millionmade mark. Miami Beach residents drive them along the only paved road, Collins Avenue.

The original plan for Miami Beach is for it to be an avocado plantation.

People hang out at the Miami Bathing Pavilion at 23rd Street and Collins Avenue.

The first building on Lincoln Road—founding father Carl Fisher’s oceanfront residence—is erected.

Circus elephants and over-the-top promotions sell Miami Beach to the social elite.

2015 There’s an all-new tunnel to PortMiami, and plenty of bridges, but traffic can be at a standstill on all of them at any given time.

Joe’s Stone Crab is the second-highestgrossing independent restaurant in the country, earning $35 million in 2014.

Philip Levine is mayor with 50.49 percent of the 111,178 votes cast in the 2013 special election recount.

400-plus-horsepower Porsches and Lamborghinis abound, and Collins is newly paved.

A bowl of guacamole costs you $14.

1 Hotel & Homes South Beach is bringing sexy back to that very location.

Lululemon! Zara! The Gap! A new Apple store!

Six-foot-tall models and $5,000 bottles with over-thetop promotions sell Miami Beach to the social elite.

Babe Ruth’s salary hovers around $3,400 a year.

Giancarlo Stanton signs a $325 million contract with the Miami Marlins.

The first stop sign in the United States appears.

Do I stop at that yellow pedestrian crossing sign in the middle of West Avenue or not?

The W.J. Brown Hotel, Miami Beach’s first hotel, is up and running.

The Brown is still a hot spot, but now it’s called Prime 112 and seemingly feeds all of South Beach, along with invading northerners.
