Cervera Real Estate to Handle Sales of Miami's 67-Story Marquis Residences; Targets International Buyers

---

(MIAMI, FL) -- Africa-Israel, USA has signed Cervera Real Estate to head sales for the 67-story Marquis Residences as downtown Miami's condo sales start to surge.

Cervera and its affiliate company have closed over 5,000 units during the last 30 months. The company has a long history of selling Miami's premier condominium development for over 40 years, with the Cerveras as pioneers in the market leading the charge with international sales from South America to Europe. Alicia Cervera Lamadrid has been a leader in the local broker community, serving as a founding member of the Master Broker Forum, the leading residential sales organization in Miami.

"It is with great enthusiasm that we begin our relationship with Africa-Israel USA and take on the sales of Marquis Residences. This is a beautiful building with sexy and innovative architecture and floor plans. Located strategically across from Museum Park within minutes of Miami Beach, Mid Town, Brickell, and the airport. It is perfect for today's Miami urbanite and second home buyer." says Cervera Lamadrid.

Wendy Marks Pine, the new Sales Director, brings years of experience in the Brickell and Downtown condominium market and a strong following of both clients and brokers.

"I'm looking forward to working with Alicia Cervera and her team," says Lori Ordover, Managing Director of Africa-Israel USA. "Their professionalism and great experience in selling Miami luxury development will garner great sales results for Marquis Residences."

Marquis Residences is home to 292 one- to four-bedroom residences, priced from $375,000. The tower stands as one of the tallest buildings in Florida, designed by Arquitectonica to maximize 360-degree bay, ocean and city views from expansive residences.

The developer, Africa-Israel USA has secured $50 million worth of financing available at competitive rates to purchasers through Americor, a leader in innovative residential mortgage solutions. Marquis Residences has been especially attractive to foreign buyers, with unique financing options available with only 45% down (as opposed to typical 80% down required), showcasing huge faith and endorsement of a high-quality building from Americor.

Stationed in the center of Miami arts and culture, Marquis Residences serves as axis point to all the hottest neighborhoods from downtown to Miami Beach, Design District, Wynwood and Brickell. Neighbors include the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts, the culturally rich Museum Park (which will be home to Miami Art Museum and Miami Science Museum), the Port of Miami and the American Airlines Arena. It's also the closest building on Biscayne to South Beach, with the entry to Interstate-395 at its door leading residents to the beach in five-minutes time.

The active, urban and cultured lifestyle of Marquis Residences is captured and reflected from the outside in--including artist Tom Patti's vibrant wall sculpture, created to subtly entice and impact the neighborhood, seen from the entry to the MacArthur Causeway. From that landmark design to Arquitectonica's signature lighting fixture wrapping the top of the tower at night, Marquis Residences stands at the "Biscayne Beacon."

Tempo Miami, a new RockResort destination, will offer residents access to five-star amenities in the tower. Tempo Miami occupies the eastern side of the tower with a 56-key boutique hotel, premier 8,000 square-foot RockResorts Spa and fitness center, gourmet restaurant and cocktail lounge, infinity-edge sunrise swim spa, lagoon-style sunset pool and personal concierge services.

Tempo marks the first hotel in Florida for the RockResorts brand, originally created in 1956 by Laurance Rockefeller with the development of Caneel Bay on St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands and known widely today for its high-profile properties like Hotel Jerome in Aspen. Vail Resorts, Inc., the premier mountain resort operator in North America, acquired full ownership of the RockResorts brand in 2005.
