UNICO DEVELOPERS is a boutique real estate development company based in Aventura, Florida. Our expertise is to create value through development and investment opportunities. Our strength consists in taking advantage of the fluctuations of the real estate cycles, investing in markets that are going through the Recovery and Expansion Phase and creating an investment strategy to benefit from them. We develop these projects using equity from private investors and bank financing, choosing the right land for a new construction project or buying existing assets at opportunistic prices. From there on, we take care of the design concept, planning, financing, construction, management and sale of the assets when they are completed.
Our goal is to provide a high rate of return to our investors in the long term using a proactive strategy of investing and disinvesting at the right time to get the highest yields possible. We believe that the success in the Real Estate industry is not only LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION but also TIMING, TIMING, TIMING. Our Principal, Fernando Levy Hara, is a researcher on Real Estate Cycles. He graduated from the Advanced Management Development Program in Real Estate (AMDP) at Harvard University, teaches Real Estate Cycles in that institution as a guest lecturer and wrote a book in Spanish about this topic called “The Art of Financing Real Estate Projects”.
