A Great Place for a Florida Vacation Home

The Courtyards at City Place

With clothing and furniture stores limping through this recession, CityPlace is moving toward a new identity:  The Entertainment Capitol

Coming soon: Carousel Can Can Cafe. This is a French bistro that will feature a bar shaped like a carousel, as well as a healthy dose of entertainment, including can can dancers, fortune tellers, mimes – and waitresses dressed as French maids (Ooh la la!).

A creation of Karim El Sherif, who owns the popular Metronome brasserie in Palm Beach Gardens, Carousel is slated for the space vacated by Mark’s restaurant last April. Look for an old-style theme that’s colorful, festive and reminiscent of happier days gone by – such as a childhood spin on a painted wooden horse.

Also in the works at CityPlace: B.B. King’s Blues Club. The regional chain, which has locations in Orlando, Memphis and Nashville, offers Creole and Southern comfort food, along with live blues music.

Carousel and possibly B.B. King’s would join two other recent entertainment additions to CityPlace. Taverna Opa, is a festive Greek eatery that also features dancing on the tables. Palm Beach Improv, a comedy club, recently doubled its space.

CityPlace managing partner Ken Himmel confirmed the deal with Carousel, and the talks with B.B. King’s. He was enthused about the center’s efforts to further enhance its reputation for offering entertainment. “They could be a great fit for us,” Himmel said.

“What it does is transform CityPlace from a shopping destination with restaurants, to an entertainment destination with shopping,” added Alan , a Palm Beach Gardens restaurant broker with Score Realty. “That’s really what separates CityPlace from the rest of the market.”

“People love to be with people and watch people, and feel like there’s something to do,” said Koch, who is working these new deals.

There will be plenty to do and look at in Carousel. The restaurant’s exterior will be pushed in, creating more room for an outside bar, which will have a carousel top. Can can girls will dance through the night inside in a dining room adorned with plenty of brass poles, mirrors – even a sculpture of a can can girl on a horse: “Very sexy,” El Sherif said.

But start a new restaurant in this economy?

 El Sherif said he wouldn’t have done this deal if it were an upscale steak place, for instance. But a venue that focuses heavily on entertainment will serve the needs of people seeking an escape: “We all need an outlet to let loose and have fun,” he said. “I want to transport people to yesteryear.” The success of Taverna Opa convinced El Sherif that CityPlace was ready for another unique idea.

Food also will be important, of course, with bistro classics plus some Mediterranean dishes. Entrees will be prices mostly in the $12 to $18 range. El Sherif hopes to open Carousel by May.

Despite the down economy, Himmel said restaurants and the movie theaters did very well during the holidays – further proof that entertainment is the way to go

This could be the place for the right move abroad, City Place has everything you would ever want in a holiday home in Florida. Five minutes from the ocean,golf within 10 minutes, amusement parks, fine dining the ideal luxury Florida vacation home.

Fractional Ownership A Growing Market World Wide

May 13, 2009 by  
Filed under News / Comments

Fractional Ownership is one of the fastest growing sectors of the property market and in 2005 accounted for $1.5 billion of sales in the US alone. It provides both a legal and use structure that makes sharing a holiday property easy and brings ownership within reach of many people.

There are a number of different fractional programmes but the bottom line is that there is a carefully documented plan in place to ensure that each of the owners has absolute certainty about when they can use the home.

From the outset all parties sign up to an agreement that clearly states the obligations and responsibilities of both the Owners and the Management Company.

The structure may cater for several categories of owner within a single property. For example, families with children may wish their fraction to include weeks during school holidays whereas retired couples might be keen to have ownership at quieter times of the year.

Some structures may mean that you own a number of shares in a company specifically set up to own the property. You will buy an asset not a lease.

Typically fractions range from 1 to 13 weeks and the programme at each property should normally reflect its location and the profile of the people to whom it will appeal.

 

YOUR RESPONSIBILITY
When you become a fractional owner, you will be responsible for your share of the running costs (insurance, utilities, etc) maintenance and replacement of furnishings.

It is really the same as owning your own house only it is yours to use for a specified period of time

With so many luxury properties available in the South Florida market it could be a very good idea for several people to buy one unit and fraction off the ownership.

Our partner, “Your Fraction Ltd”  has been involved in this business for several years. They currently have fractions in several European countries and are looking seriously into the US market. Neil MacAllister of Your Fraction would be happy to help you with any questions you have regarding the fractional market
