“Helping Buyers and Sellers Navigate the Luxury Market in Naples, Florida”

[Armand Alikaj @NaplesLuxRE]

Perched on the edge of the Everglades, Naples has positioned itself as Florida’s capital of quiet luxury, offering an alternative to Miami’s flashier real estate scene—and increasingly drawing a younger cadre of executives

With a population of roughly 420,000 people, the Naples metro—which also encompasses Marco Island—is a fraction of the size of Miami, but the premier resort city on the Gulf coast punches way above its weight when in comes to high-end properties

A new National Association of Realtors® report found that 17.9% of Florida owner-occupied households are currently estimated to have home sale gains above the federal capital gains exclusion thresholds. That is higher than the national rate of 15%

That is awesome to hear! The anticipation is always one of the best parts and I am really exited of the end product

For four years, we have worked toward creating a world-class destination on the Albanian coast—one rooted in thoughtful design, environmental stewardship, and long-term economic opportunity.

Our goal is simple: celebrate Albania’s natural beauty, create jobs, and build something future generations can be proud of.

Its future will ultimately be determined by Albania and the Albanian people.

The Vineyards is one of North Naples’ premier, most established master-planned communities. For buyers evaluating a purchase, the current market offers excellent leverage, making it a highly strategic time to lock in a property before seasonal activity picks up

Albania's 40-year-old Palace of Congresses is getting a major overhaul. Swiss architecture firm Herzog and de Meuron won an international design competition with its plans to retain and renovate the original performance spaces, while adding a new mixed-use office and hotel tower topped with a sky bar. 

The B1M understands that the tower's height has not been officially confirmed, but it could stand "up to" 255-metres tall according to local reporting – a height that would make it one of the tallest skyscrapers in the Balkans. 

In a statement, Herzog and de Meuron explained: "The Palace of Congresses remains an important witness to the history of both Tirana and Albania. Rather than altering its identity, the project seeks to strengthen its relationship with the city and its public realm. A new landscape gradually steps down toward a generous entrance, forming a palace garden that provides a welcoming setting for public gathering and everyday life. Alongside the Palace of Congresses, a multifunctional tower accommodating offices and a hotel completes the project, shaped by vernacular logic and integrated with the Palace and neighbourhood beyond."

Recevoir aujourd’hui le titre de Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres est pour moi une immense émotion et un honneur profondément cher à mon cœur, tant la France représente pour moi l’amour de l’art, de la culture et de la vérité humaine. Je souhaite exprimer ma gratitude la plus sincère à toutes les personnes qui ont accompagné mon parcours, et en particulier à Dominique Riber, mon agent fidèle depuis de si nombreuses années, pour sa confiance et son soutien constant, ainsi qu’à Jean-Philippe Thieally, dont la passion authentique pour l’opéra et l’engagement généreux ont rendu possible ce moment si précieux. Je ne pourrais imaginer un plus beau cadre pour cette cérémonie qu’entourée d’amis sincères, de passionnés d’art et d’un public qui a donné un sens à tous les sacrifices qu’exige la vie d’artiste. Je reçois cette distinction avec humilité, reconnaissance et une profonde émotion. Merci à la France d’avoir accueilli ma voix et mon cœur avec une telle générosité.
