  • Amazing Podcast A+++

    Ben and Felipe make interviewing successful real estate investors/developers sound like so much fun. Their nonchalant style makes them easy to listen to. There is a lot to learn from their guests and the questions they ask them add even more value.

Lee Brian Schrager, Founder - South Beach Wine & Food Festival
Q: How did the South Beach Wine & Food Festival come to be?
The idea was formed after attending Aspen's festival; on the plane home the guest drafted a vision, sought sponsorship, and got the go-ahead from his boss to start the Miami version, which exploded into a multi-event platform.
Robert Wennett - President & Founder, UIA Management
Q: Why did you decide to leave the private equity fund and pursue a single, signature project like 1111 Lincoln Road?
I wanted to prove to myself that I could put everything on the line for a single, meaningful project, driven by a personal conviction that great architecture and placemaking could endure for a century.
Robert Wennett - President & Founder, UIA Management
Q: How did Studio 54 and the 1978-86 era shape your approach to risk and opportunity?
That period exposed me to an unparalleled network of tastemakers and creative energy, which underscored my belief that bold, design-forward projects could transform places and attract the right tenants and buyers.
Robert Wennett - President & Founder, UIA Management
Q: What were your early family influences in Boston?
My mother was the entrepreneur who started a real estate brokerage and shaped my business instincts, while my father was the intellectual who guided my analytical mindset.
Robert Wennett - President & Founder, UIA Management
Q: What brought you to Miami in 1991?
I moved here after developing a portfolio in DC and New York; the Miami scene and potential of the city drew me in as an ambitious parent of future projects.
