Silvia Coltrane

CEO

Transacta Developers

Real Estate is Silvia Coltrane’s passion, and this is the reason why she has emerged as a leader in the highly competitive, influential real estate arena. With 38 years as the broker of Real Estate Transactions, Inc. (RETI) under her belt, Silvia Coltrane has made an indelible mark consulting, and successfully representing over 20 different developments for Miami-Dade’s most prominent developers. She has also been involved in the sale of some of Miami’s largest real estate waterfront development sites which includes 4 sites for Faena, 3 sites for the Chateau Group, 12 properties for Ocean Terrace Developers, and others. Her brokerage experience also includes the sales of several hotels in Miami Beach and Fort Lauderdale. She also has an international presence with affiliate offices in various countries in South America, Europe and Asia. In 2019 she joined The Corcoran Group as a Broker Associate and plans to continue her real estate trajectory as well as her development activity.

Silvia Coltrane’s experience as a broker of so many successful ventures set the stage and prepared the path for Coltrane’s next real estate frontier and challenges -- The development of her own properties.

This polished professional has a half-dozen projects on her own résumé. Her first development was Parc Plaza, a 15-story condo conversion on Washington and 17th in Miami Beach. She also became involved with the development of Capobella on Collins and the 50’s. She purchased and entitled Prive on Collins and 69th in Miami Beach and sold it. It was ultimately developed as L’Atelier; She developed Azure, a luxury Condominium in Surfside, and also developed a 175-room Marriot Residence Inn in Surfside.

Coltrane's current development involvement is the anticipated mixed-use condominium development in North Beach, planned for the corner of Collins and 72nd Street. It will be the first brand new development of its kind in Miami Beach administered by a well-known lifestyle operator. It will have 20,000 SF of ground-floor retail, 228 residential condominiums, some of which will be micro-units that will be available for short-term rentals.

Coltrane’s vision and energy, her vast real estate experience, her ability to anticipate market needs and to identify patterns of growth in key areas, place her among South Florida’s most influential female developers.

She is totally involved with every venture that she undertakes and credits the carefully selected professional team that she assembles for the success of her developments. She says that she is like an orchestra conductor who directs those that play the instruments in order to make beautiful music; She says that her music comes from the creativity and participation of her professional team, and the team’s interaction with City decision makers, and the community.

She strongly believes that every development has to have an element of beauty and distinction in its design. This is the legacy that she wants to leave behind: Developments that will grace the community that they will serve.

Silvia Coltrane was born in Camaguey, Cuba and came to the USA in 1961. She is a graduate of the University of Miami with a degree in Education and a Master in Latin American Studies.

Andrew Hellinger

Co-Principal

UrbanX Group

Andy along with his Co-Principal at UrbanX, Coralee Penabad, are the developers behind the River Landing Shops & Residences, an 8.14-acre-mixed use development under construction on the Miami River and the catalyst for development in the neighboring Allapattah community. River Landing is a modern urban lifestyle center bringing national retailers, shops, restaurants, office, entertainment and a waterfront linear park to Miami’s riverfront for residents and visitors. River Landing is creating a waterfront shopping and dining destination to serve rising neighboring communities such as the Miami Health District -- which enjoys one of the largest day-time populations in Florida--, downtown Miami, Allapattah, Little Havana and more. It will consist of approx. 345,000 square feet of retail/commercial space, 135,000 square feet of office, 528 market-rate apartments, more than 2,000 parking spaces and a landscaped Riverwalk. Future tenants include Publix Super Markets, Burlington Stores, TJ Maxx, West Marine, Ross Dress For Less, AT&T, Old Navy, Chick-Fil-A and Hobby Lobby.

Andrew can speak to the state of the construction, retail, lending and CRE industry during the Coronavirus crisis. He can compare - up to a certain point - the impact of the current financial crisis versus the economic crisis of 2008-2011. Back then, he did a lot of work disposing distressed assets for other developers.

Mayor

City of Miami

Francis X. Suarez is the 33rd Mayor of the City of Miami. As the first Miami-born mayor, he is committed to working diligently to serve the residents of the community where he was born and raised. Prior to being elected with 86 percent support from Miami residents, Mayor Suarez served as Miami Commissioner for District 4 during eight years. Mayor Suarez had many legislative accomplishments as Commissioner, including implementing ShotSpotter technology in the City, a state-­‐of-­‐the-­‐art gunshot detection system, setting up a transportation trust fund, which allocates funds for current and future transit projects, and passing the Reverse Redline legislation, authorizing lawsuits against several major banks for discriminatory mortgage lending practices. As a result, the City’s lawsuit reached the U.S. Supreme Court, which ruled that cities have standing to sue banks under the Fair Housing Act for such discriminatory practices. Mayor Suarez also serves as Vice-­‐Chair of the Miami-­‐Dade Transportation Planning Organization (TPO) and is the former President of the Miami-­‐Dade County League of Cities. In his role at the TPO, Mayor Suarez championed the Strategic Miami Area Rapid Transit (SMART) Plan, which was unanimously approved. The SMART Plan expands mass transit options in Miami-­‐Dade County through six main corridors and new bus routes to ease traffic congestion and support future population growth. Mayor Suarez helped negotiate the Tri-­‐Rail connection to Downtown, offering free ridership to Overtown residents for life. He also ushered in the free trolley system in Miami, which carries an average of 450,000 passengers per month. Mayor Suarez is dedicated to elevating the quality of life of the residents he serves by focusing on transportation and connectivity, resiliency, and job creation by nurturing the growth of technology and innovation. He is also committed to expanding affordable housing, tackling the poverty pandemic and, as a corollary, reducing crime. The oldest of four siblings, Mayor Suarez was born into a family where, as he describes, “being socially conscious was a kind of requirement.” As the son of former City of Miami Mayor, Xavier Suarez, he was also exposed to public service since he was a child, growing up around his father’s office at City Hall, the same one he works out of today. Mayor Suarez earned a bachelor’s degree in finance from Florida International University, graduating in the top ten percent of his class. He went on to receive his law degree from the University of Florida Frederic G. Levin College of Law, where he graduated cum laude. He is currently an attorney with the law firm Carlton Fields, specializing in corporate and real-­‐estate transactions. Mayor Suarez is married to Gloria Fonts Suarez. They have a son, Andrew Xavier, and are expecting their first daughter this year. They consider themselves honored and blessed to be raising their family in the City of Miami.
