Multiplan Real Estate Asset Management’s singular vision for inspired living was born from a rich, forty-year history stretching across continents and time zones and culminating in South Florida, where the firm has distinguished itself as the preeminent developer of sustainability-driven, ultra-luxury real estate projects. 

In 1974, Brazilian native José Isaac Peres founded Multiplan Empreendimentos Imobiliários S.A. and through his entrepreneurial spirit and vision transformed into one of the largest publicly owned real estate companies in Latin America. It is with this same focus that Peres launched Multiplan Real Estate Asset Management in the United States, building upon his long-standing history of excellence with iconic projects that herald a new and prosperous era for South Florida.

Energized by the unique cross-cultural synergy that continuously shapes and reshapes Miami-Dade County, Peres has long maintained a deep admiration for the region, having called Florida his part-time home since 1998. Earlier projects such as the acclaimed Il Villaggio mixed-use development in Miami Beach, with its sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean and Lummus Park, and Jade Brickell, a bayfront luxury residential condominium Peres conceptualized and designed, set the tone for Multiplan REAM’s overarching mission: to pay homage to the buildings’ natural environments while enhancing the value of the surrounding communities with record-setting unit values.

Today, Multiplan Real Estate Asset Management has cultivated a world class development team and distinguished partners who continue to expand Peres’ legacy while furthering the firm’s opportunities in South Florida.

Bonaparte: Brazil Back on Track

Brazil’s economy, Latin America’s largest, is back on track, says Sueli Bonaparte, president of the Brazil-Florida Business Council (BFBC). In this interview with Latinvex, Bonaparte talks about the outlook for Brazil’s economy, US investor interest, investment grade and why she started the BFBC.

Latinvex: To what extent have recent economic reforms in Brazil helped interest in Brazil among US companies?

Bonaparte: Despite Brazil’s dismal economic performance, foreign direct investment has hit record highs amid recent reforms. Savvy US companies recognize Brazil’s underlying economic fundamentals and see this is a historic buying opportunity. The economic team of the current administration has brought confidence to the international financial market and they have quickly taken essential actions to bring the economy back on track. Despite modest economic growth forecasted for the coming year, analysts expect that the new administration will continue pro-growth policies to foster more robust economic recovery in the coming years.

TESTIMONIALS

"Sueli, the amazing energy that you bring to this cause is astounding. I envision this organization and the relationship to go long beyond certainly my tenure as a mayor, and I think building a bond between Brazil and Florida, particularly between Brazil and Tampa, is going to be important. The Brazil-Florida Business Council can play a vital role to the economic growth of the city. If we are going to be the city we want to be, we will have to expand our horizons and be global in our perspective and global in our actions."


Bob Buckhorn, Former Tampa Mayor

"Sueli is relentless in pursuing excellence for Brazil-US relations, and she should really be congratulated for that. Honestly, we highly respect her work and all the great things she’s done now, she’s doing it here."

Gary Spulak, Embraer Aircraft Holding, Inc.

Fabio Yamada, Enterprise Florida Brazil

"A Sueli é uma locomotiva para o desenvolvimento de negócios, ela não se cansa de procurar meios para auxiliar o crescimento de todos, prova disso é a Brazil Florida Business Council que em tão pouco tempo já alcançou tamanha expressão e mostra o tempo todo ao que veio, aglutinando mais interesse no Brasil e esse tipo de iniciativa faltava na Florida.”

Andre Leal, Select USA

What you have achieved is truly remarkable in such a short time and serves as an inspiration to all of us. I have always believed that nations in this hemisphere should work closely together. The Council  has demonstrated to me that there are many opportunities to better both Nations by working together and sharing information. At each event we have attended, we have met people that we would not have come in contact with normally, had it not been for the Council.”
