RE: Miami Parking Authority RFP for Prospective Public/Private Partnership for Redevelopment of Parcel B

Dear Mr. Noriega and Mr. Tapanes,


North Miami Ave Realty LLC and its affiliates (Mana) are excited to submit our proposal to the Miami Parking Authority
(MPA) for a Prospective Public/Private Partnership for the Re-development of the MPA-owned site located at 240 N
Miami Avenue, Miami, Florida 33128 (aka Parcel B).
We are condent the enclosed proposal for the redevelopment of Parcel B coupled with our abutting three (3) properties
located at 200, 218 and 222 North Miami Avenue, Miami, Florida 33128, respectively (collectively, the Property),
an expansion of the MPAs existing parking garage, and development rights of Parcel B allowing for a complete and
efficient build-out of the remainder of the eastern portion of the city block, is a logical best choice for the MPA for the
development of Parcel B. The addition of our Propertys approximately 14,325 SF to Parcel Bs approximately 37,000
SF would allow for a project with much more usable oor area and efficiencies in design and construction. Our initial
schematic designs show that the resulting project would allow for approximately 30% more parking spaces than the
development of Parcel B alone.
We look forward to the opportunity to further discuss our proposal with the Miami Parking Authority.

Sincerely,

PROJECT APPROACH
We have a vested interest in this neighborhood as we have purchased over 33 properties in this part of downtown in the
last year and a half. We see this site as the gateway to Downtown Miami from the north. It is critical that we create a state
of the art project to act as a catalyst to elevate the neighborhood. Our proposed design includes outdoor space for the
use of the community and neighboring schools and institutions. We are passionate about this site and want to partner
with the MPA to jointly develop one fantastic project instead of two separate buildings.
CONCEPTUAL PROJECT SUMMARY
We envision a modern mixed-use facility that complements and elevates the architectural urban fabric of the surrounding
area. The following outlines the nine major elements included in our proposal for a Public/Private Partnership with the
Miami Parking Authority for the combined Parcel B and the Property:

Element 1: Hotel 1 An approximately 75,000 SF, 160 key (room) hotel (likely to be a select-service hotel) with
a liner garage on the lower oors;

Element 2: Hotel 2 A Luxury Hotel of approximately 150,000 SF and approximately 160 keys (rooms) including
common areas such as a restaurant located at the top of the building;

Element 3: WeWork: Approximately three (3) oors and approximately 90,000 SF of coworking space for
WeWork, a strategic partner and tenant of Mana;

Element 4: WeLive: Approximately 100,000 SF with an average of approximately 350 square feet per unit for
a total of 228 WeLive lifestyle apartment units targeted to the Millennial generation;

Element 5: Additional office space of approximately 60,000 SF;

Element 6: Residential Tower of approximately 250,000 SF with approximately 200 units;

Element 7: Approximately 460 parking spaces to be combined with MPAs existing parking garage;

Element 8: An approximately 5,000 SF Open Plaza along the northernmost portion of Parcel B, planned with
the goal of preserving the open space and park available for local students and residents to relax, gather and
meet; and

Element 9: Utilization of the roof of the existing parking structure for organic gardens, a green roof and potential
outdoor space for WeWork, WeLive and other tenants.

The planning and architectural rm of Zyscovich Architects has prepared conceptual drawings that illustrate the proposed
elements of the Public/Private Partnership for the Re-development of Parcel B and our Property, combined as a joint

A PROVEN TEAM COMMITTED TO THE FUTURE OF DOWNTOWN MIAMI


Mana and its affiliates have extensive real estate holdings and redevelopment experience. One of the most exciting
redevelopment projects currently being planned and implemented is in Downtown Miami. Here, Mana is again in the
middle of changing neighborhoods for the better. Our vision for Downtown Miami is one of a world-class, global city
with easy access to arts, culture, retail, and social, working and living spaces. As such, Mana is buying old, run-down
properties with an eye to re-tenanting them today and bringing them to a higher use in the future. Within blocks of
Manas holdings is the $1.5 billion mixed-use Brickell City Centre, the $1.5 billion All Aboard Florida Grand Central
train station and transit oriented development, and the $1 billion, 750,000 SF Taubman and Forbes Mall to be anchored
by Macys and Bloomingdales. As part of this development there will be an 1,800 room Marriott Marquis Hotel and
a 600,000 SF convention center. All of these projects are approved, with Brickell City Center and All Aboard Florida
slated to open in 2016 and the Mall at Miami World Center, the hotel and convention center targeting 2017 openings.
All of these developments will add to the future vitality and reemergence of the Downtown Core. Mana has spent
over $100M in Downtown Miami in the last year. We have already agreed to terms with a major office user for their
downtown Flagship location and are in several conversations with hotel groups and leading restaurant companies to put
a destination restaurant in one of our buildings. Within the next 24 months, Downtown Miami will be in the beginning
of a complete transformation.
As demonstrated by Manas previous successes, our highly qualied team has a proven ability to implement major P3
redevelopment projects. Also on our team is Zyscovich Architects, a 90+-person integrated Urban Design, Architecture
and Interior Design rm headquartered in Miami, responsible for the redevelopment of a former FEC rail yard into
the vibrant retail, residential and entertainment district that is now Midtown Miami. Our strategic partners also include
WeWork, a $5 billion company that is one of the largest coworking organizations in the US, if not the world, and WeLive,
the rms venture into mixed-use, live-work-play residences for urban professionals. Please refer to Section 4: Summary
of Development Team Qualications of this proposal for further information on our team.
ADDED VALUE
As a proven developer (and redeveloper), Mana knows how to make places. With access to the right mix of tenants,
arts and cultural organizations, and strategic partners like WeWork and WeLive, Mana will bring together all the correct
components to create a successful mixed-use development. Our team offers a potential redevelopment opportunity
that no other group canthe proposal to combine our Property with Parcel B to create a truly mixed-use project with
efficiencies in design and construction savings, all while providing the public with unmatched services, uses and amenities.
As a major property owner in and around both the Property and Parcel B, we are uniquely poised to offer the MPA an
unmatched development that will tie in seamlessly with the massive increase in tourist and local traffic to be generated
by the upcoming All Aboard Florida terminus located only one block to the west. We respectfully request you review
and select our Proposal.

MOISHE MANAS BIOGRAPHY: BUSINESS WITH CULTURE

Moishe Mana is a visionary entrepreneur who has created many different businesses. As a committed real estate developer,
Moishe is known to have never ipped a property. In 1983, Moishes Movings inception started out with one man in a
single van and grew from there. By 1990, it had become the largest independent moving
company in New York City. By 1995, they were the largest in the entire tri-state area.
Today, they operate from regional offices across the nation and worldwide (Brazil, China,
Columbia, and Peru) with hundreds of employees. Moishes red trucks are ubiquitous
and iconic in NYC and a part of the social fabric of the city and have been featured in
both stage and lm production.
Moishes Moving is an New York institution with Moishe Mana owning a conglomerate
of 150 companies. Over time, Manas interests grew to develop creative communities
that cater to artists, and the people supporting their work. Manas rst effort in this
direction was to spearhead the development of NYCs Meatpacking District in 1995,
where he opened Milk Studios. Today it is the leading intersection of fashion, media
and technology. It serves the fashion industry in NYC and the movie business in LA.
Moishe is also the third largest player in the information management space with GRM, a company he started at the turn
of the millennium. Additionally, Moishe is involved in several major neighborhood changing real estate development
projects. These are located in Jersey City, New Jersey, Wynwood Arts District and Downtown Miami, Florida and in
Chicago, Illinois, with an estimated 15 million SF.
In 2010, Moishe Mana purchased several properties in the warehouse district of Jersey City where the Mana Contemporary
Art Complex now has its headquarters, artist residencies, galleries, and work studios. In addition to this, Mana Contemporary
has grown into a state of the art storage facility for premier art foundations, such as the Guggenheim, MoMa, New
Museum, and several notable galleries and private collections and has developed into one of the largest arts complexes
in the United States. This is a 1,500,000 SF complex of buildings
on 25 acres of land. The lead building in the complex is the 450,000
SF Mana Contemporary Space. Housed in this building is ne
art storage from both collectors and museums, wine storage and
couture designer dress storage. Additionally, there are over 100
working artists studios in the building. The Armitage Dance
Company, the famous Art School of Firenze (Florence ,Italy), and
ICP, the International School of Photography are also located in the
building. The world renowned architect Richard Meier has located
his legacy library here. This is truly a one of the kind building in
the world where art students, working artists and collectors and
museums are all housed under one roof.
In Miami, Florida there is a special part of town known as Wynwood.
Moishe saw a promising opportunity here and is now one of the
largest landowners in Wynwood. In an attempt to develop urban
environments into creative communities, Moishe founded Mana
Wynwood, a company devoted to the development of the Wynwood
Art District of Miami. This thriving artist enclave bears resemblance
to the Meat Packing District in NYC and is now ready to become
a creative mecca for the Americas. Mana Wynwood encompasses
over 40 acres with buildings that constitute about 40% of Wynwood.

MIDTOWN MIAMI MASTER PLAN, ZONING AND ENTERTAINMENT BLOCK


3470 East Coast Avenue, Miami, FL 33137
Midtown Miami Master Plan, Zoning and Entertainment Block, one of the largest urban
inll development projects in the country, encompasses a 56-acre site formerly used by the
Port of Miami as a storage facility for shipping containers. Identied by Zyscovich Architects
as a potential mixed-use district in an early plan for the City of Miami, the rm determined
that the blocks should contain a combination of retail, commercial, entertainment, and
residential. As the master planners and architects, Zyscovich partnered with the City of
Miami Planning and Zoning Department to examine the zoning and to change the land
use from Industrial to Restricted Commercial. Zyscovich then created the Special District
Zoning and Design Guidelines to promote neighborhood redevelopment through medium
to high density mixed-use zoning.
From that point, the neighborhoods within Midtown were further rened, and the adjacent
streets were extended through the site to re-establish the street grid. The western edge of
the site is planned as residential over big box and regional retail. The requirements for the
residential buildings include service-oriented ground oor retail and internal parking hidden
from the street to further enhance the pedestrian-friendly plan. The northeast portion of
the site, known as the Entertainment Block, is planned as an intensely commercial zone
created for use by the entire neighborhood. It provides continuous pedestrian activity
within and along the northern edge which abuts the Miami Design District.

2 MIDTOWN & PARKING GARAGE


Miami, FL
The 28-oor tower, modeled on the urban streetscape to come, comprises residential
and work/live space, recreational and athletic amenities, ground level retail, and internal
parking. The project represents Zyscovichs vision of a highly functioning 21st Century
city if created from scratch. A 28-story landscape of varying facades and heights, the
building is an assemblage of exterior and interior volumes. From Midtown Boulevard, the
design appears to be of a 12-story building composed of interior courts. From the mews, it
is a row of three-story walk-ups. The projects mix of residential and live/work units allows
professionals, such as designers, artists, or architects to live in the same building as their
offices or studios or to be within walking distance.
Zyscovich designed the complex with an internalized parking scheme, i.e. with residential
units lining exposed elevations. Such a solution to urban livability removes cars from the
street face, enhances pedestrian-friendliness, and integrates issues of access and security.
A post-tensioned system was used in the design of this project, which has a level of service
(LOS) of B to C. A card access system was implemented primarily for tenants with valet
parking offered to all guests. There is also additional guest parking on the outside of the
structure. Rather than sitting atop a parking podium, the building reaches the ground where
street level space for retail, dining, and entertainment encourages 24-hour pedestrian
activity, enhancing security and vitality.

THE MERIDIAN CONDOMINIUMS


Miami Beach, FL
The design of this 111-unit, six-oor condominium represents the simplest response to
a difficult site. The highly irregular and restrictive property is located within the urban
core of South Beach and includes one triangular corner as well as an extraordinarily long
frontage along the boulevard elevation. Additionally, it faces a public memorial associated
with numerous height and view issues. In the center of the site were hundreds of industrial
piles, left from a previous uncompleted project. The rm incorporated the eccentric piles
into the structural design by creating one large slab that extends across the site. On the
boulevard side the long, continuous facade undulates. At the apex where the two streets
meet, the architecture rises above the sloping elevations in order to articulate the corner,
in much the way of New York Citys Flatiron building. To satisfy the zoning requirement
regarding height and views, a penthouse level was created with large, semi-enclosed terraces.
The Meridian comprises industrial-style lofts of various sizes and amenities, penthouses,
townhouses, and two levels of parking. All lofts have twelve-foot-high ceilings and high
windows and doors that open onto balconies. The top oor lofts have double height ceilings
and rooftop terraces. A glamorously landscaped rooftop pool overlooks the city skyline.

THE FLAMINGO
Miami Beach, FL
Today South Beachs signature rental resort, Flamingo was originally a 1960s retirement
complex comprising two Y-shaped, 15-story towers with decrepit swimming pools, acres
of surface parking, no landscaping, and no amenities. Despite its proximity to downtown
Miami, the South Beach club and cultural scene, and the ocean, this expansive 16-acre
waterfront sitethe largest privately held waterfront location on Miami Beachfailed to
appeal to the growing population of young singles, professionals, families and seasonal
residents.
The Zyscovich redesign and market repositioning plan capitalized on the aesthetic and
urban power of the location and demonstrates that there are many different ways of creating
a massive residential property that are not only acceptable, but desirable. The original
surface parking lot, located along the 1/4 square mile of waterfront, was transformed into a
nearly two-acre botanical park adjoined by a baywalk, boat slips and water sports facilities.
Zyscovich renovated the 580-unit (1,160 units total) residential towers for retirees into an
urban 21st Century full-service resort for renters. The project also included the addition
of: a 461-unit, 32-story tower; 26 townhouses; 28 garden apartments; a seven-story, 2,032car garage; 10,000 SF of retail space; and a 4,000 SF state-of-the-art gym overlooking
the water. The rm conceived a resort-like manner of living by providing amenities that
include a business center, dry-cleaning drop-off, green grocer, magazine seller, cyber cafe,
gathering areas wired for laptops, a 24-hour doorman and concierge service.

the corridors is patterned with ellipses in three different shades of orange, which mirror
the form of the main tower. Where once not even a newsstand could be found, today art,
culture, and recreation are live-in amenities for all tenants, regardless of their economic
position on the rental scale.

the property and position it as a resort property. These components included a tanning
lawn, a coffee bar, a hair salon, a 6,000 SF bay front tness center, a state-of-the art media
room with adjacent dining room and Italian-style kitchen, and various pools, each with a
distinct family, lounging or play atmosphere.

THE MIRADOR MIXED-USE PARKING GARAGE


Miami Beach, FL
The Mirador project was so successful that its existing parking garage quickly outgrew
capacity. Accordingly, a fty-year old, ten-story apartment building with outdated parking
infrastructure located opposite the complex, was demolished to make possible the building
of a 527-space garage. A post tensioned system was used in the design of this ve-story
garage, which includes a two way parking ramp. A topping slab with water proo ng
mainframe and a canvas roof top used to shade cars were also included in the design.
In a totally unique typology, residential use of the structure was secondary to parking.
However, those who are not familiar with the neighborhood often believe the project to
be a townhouse. The design wraps the structure on three sides with apartments so that no
part of the parking facility faces onto the street at the pedestrian level. Four two-bedroom,
two story apartments are located on the front (west) side and one one-story studio on each
of the north and south sides. All residential units are provided with individual patios (an
aesthetic, privacy, and safety feature) as well as direct access to the garage.

ALL ABOARD FLORIDA MASTER PLAN, STATION AND TOD DESIGN


Miami, FL
Zyscovich Architects created the ten acre master plan for the All Aboard Florida intermodal
transit-oriented development (TOD) in Miami. As associate architects, Zyscovich is
responsible for all project entitlements and portions of the concept design, design
development, construction documents, bidding, permitting, and construction administration
for the three currently planned stations.

KEY FEATURES
Local/Regional Transportation
Analysis

Elevating the railroad tracks 50 feet into the air along the dense, linear site in the core of
downtown Miami will allow traffic to ow freely underneath. The elevated tracks will also
create room for two layers of valuable, glass-encased retail space at the street level, where
pedestrians pass by. Lightweight perforated panels will lie intermediately in the open webs
of the traversing V-shaped exoskeleton that enclose the railroad tracks and will allow for
glimpses of the moving train. The entire project will feel industrial, yet will be transparent
and airy.

Programming

The scope of work includes the support services necessary for the operation and safety
of the high-speed rail system, including boarding platforms, stairs, elevators, escalators,
walkways, waiting areas, ticket and information booths, luggage handling areas, restrooms,
utility rooms, station advertising displays, concessions, restaurants, lounges and other
service-related businesses that will be open to passengers and nearby residents. Included
the long-term master plan are parking structures and rental car facilities, bikeways, pocket
parks, community gardens, playgrounds, power substations, and other uses necessary
for the operation, maintenance, and future growth of the All Aboard Florida intermodal
transit-oriented development.

BAL HARBOUR SHOPS


Bal Harbour, FL
In 1965, Bal Harbour Shops opened as the rst exclusive high-fashion shopping center on
what had been the site of a World War II army barracks. At the time, most malls around the
nation were being built as enclosed, air conditioned facilities with a mixture of moderately
priced stores. Bal Harbour Shops deed the trend by creating a shopping destination
with lush landscaping and outdoor circulation to take advantage of the beautiful weather
in South Florida. In 1982, the shops expanded with a second oor addition to satisfy the
demand for high-end shoppers.
More than 45 years later, Zyscovich has been retained to design an extensive addition to
this unique shopping center by adding over 300,000 SF of high-end retail. The master
plan, designed by Zyscovich, also includes a new anchor store, a new village hall for the
City of Bal Harbour, cinemas, ballrooms, new public green space, and parking to support
the new extension. The planning and design of the extension to this distinctive shopping
destination will help continue its successful trend and ranking as the most productive
shopping center in the United States.
