Mansion Deals Near Mar-A-Lago
While most property on Palm Beach sells very quickly, there are a few relative bargains to be found. Interestingly, these bargains are clustered around the Winter Whitehouse. This article from
Bloomberg
explains.....
By
James Tarmy
On an almost cloudless, 70-degree winter morning in Palm Beach, Fla., real estate broker Rob Thomson sits inside President Donald Trump’s private club, Mar-a-Lago, reflecting on a banner season. “I’ve been selling real estate for 34 years,” says Thomson, a club member and the owner of Waterfront Properties & Club Communities. “This is the longest bull run of my career.”
Large houses, small houses, empty lots, and mansions: They’ve all flown off the shelf, thanks to the state’s generous income tax rate (0%) and Palm Beach’s international prestige. In the past 12 months, three properties in the town sold for about $100 million each. “We’re seeing people pay more for things than before,” Thomson says.
And yet, there’s one notable cloud on the barrier island’s otherwise sunny outlook: the 10 houses sitting unsold within a half-mile, four-block radius of Mar-a-Lago, which Trump designated his primary residence in September........

Two Major Collections to Pump $1 Billion in 2020 Art Auctions
The late financier Don Marron’s collection of modern and contemporary art may be headed to auction, one of two major troves potentially coming to market this year with a combined value of more than $1 billion.
His family asked top auction houses to submit proposals next month, according to people familiar with the matter, who asked not to be identified because the discussions are private. The collection has been valued at about $450 million. The next big round of auctions in New York is in May.

Condo Planned For Tiffany's Worth Avenue Rooftop
P
alm Beach’s architectural gatekeepers have partially approved a plan that would convert the second floor of
the two-story Tiffany & Co. building
on Worth Avenue into an ultra-luxury condominium, a renovation that would add third-floor living space amid an open-air rooftop terrace with a small pool.
But thanks to the way the re-do was designed, nearly everything added to the roof wouldn’t be invisible to pedestrians and drivers nearby, the project’s architect assured the Architectural Commission at its most recent meeting.
“It’s going to be a multi-multi-million-dollar apartment,” architect Keith Spina told the board. “This thing has to be spectacular. Tiffany’s is still an incredible tenant, and this building is one of the best retail buildings on the Avenue. And we would never want to create anything that diminishes that.”

Polo Legend and Former Model Nacho Figueras Is Launching a Fragrance Line of His Own
|
N
amed after Buenos Aires, Palm Beach, Aspen, Windsor, Jaipur and Dubai, the fragrances retail for $275 apiece.
The body of work took a full two years to develop, and Figueras worked with
master perfumer Carlos Benaim
on the scents. His resume includes iconic projects for the likes of Prada, Calvin Klein and, of course, Ralph Lauren.
Not surprisingly, Figueras’s bottles have an equestrian theme in the form of horseshoe-shaped caps atop sleek fluted bases.
Because the label has his name on it, Figueras was determined to remain heavily involved throughout the process. “If you check with the team, they’ll say I like to be very hands-on and proactive,” he said. “I come back and say, ‘where are we with this?’ I love this project and I think it can be the beginning of something great.”

Lamborghini Ursus Named Robb Report Car Of The Year!
Lamborghini takes home the Robb Report Car of the Year award for the third time in a row, this time with the world’s first Super SUV Urus which “has multiple personalities, and I love them all,” as stated by one of the judges.
In this edition of Car of the Year, a bicoastal contest held in California and Florida, nine groups averaging 20 judges each drove 10 cars to choose their favorite among the luxury automotive industry’s finest: “The winner of the 2019 Robb Report Car of the Year is proof that there’s a renaissance in the automotive realm, and, fittingly, it has begun in Italy—Sant’Agata Bolognese to be exact,” stated Robb Report. “This raging bull is unique among Lamborghinis as it not only features six drive modes (including ones for snow and sand), but it also inherited aerodynamic attributes from the Huracán Performante and handling elements (such as four-wheel steering, active damping, and four-wheel drive) from the Aventador S.”

Jay Z's RIchard Mille Watch Took Over 3000 Hours To Build
While they've long been the timepiece of choice for the world's most talked-about and glamorous athletes, Richard Mille's timepieces are finally hitting the point where they're starting to find their way onto the wrists of the world's biggest cultural heavyweights.
And while the Hip-hop game was once one where only a Rolex would do on the wrist, a new boom in fine timekeeping has seen watches from the likes of Patek, Audemars Piguet and, in this case, Richard Mille, become statement pieces completely of their own accord.
Of course, as has been evidenced with the likes of Alexander Zverev and seemingly half the F1 grid, there aren't many more desirable timepieces in the world than a custom Richard Mille, and Jay-Z's new RM, simply dubbed the Blueprint.......
