Following the economic collapse of 2008, the South Florida condominium market has shown signs of a slow and steady recovery, with developers successfully unloading previously unsold units to wealthy foreign investors. Developers report that the increased demand for condominium units has prompted new construction in South Florida; in the past two years, twenty five new condominium projects have been announced. The New York Times recently ran a story on this mini construction boom, recognizing noteworthy projects like Brickell CityCentre, a $1.05 billion shopping and mixed-use development located south of the Miami River and west of Brickell Avenue. The project’s developers are working with the Whitman family, owners of Bal Harbour Shops, to turn Brickell CityCentre’s 500-square foot retail space into an attractive luxury shopping destination along with a 1,600 space underground parking lot and renovated public transportation facilities. The project’s objective is to diversify the downtown area by offering accessible luxury retail to a location traditionally associated with offices and hotels.

For South Florida residents, mold infestations are an unfortunate byproduct of the humid tropical summers. Eradicating mold can be costly and time-consuming. For people living in shared communities, the question of whether the owner or association is responsible for mold remediation may be puzzling. WSH Partner Joshua D. Krut, who chairs our Community Association, Club and Resort Practice Group, recently spoke with the South Florida Cooperator about what responsibilities cooperatives owe their residents with respect to paying for mold remediation.

On July 5, 2012, the Argentine Central Bank modified certain rules regulating the foreign exchange market in Argentina. These rules regulate Argentine residents who wish to convert Argentine currency into foreign currency for various purposes. Argentine residents seeking to convert Argentine pesos for foreign currency are required to do so in the central foreign exchange market in Argentina. The recent changes are in addition to recent restrictions imposed by the Argentine government in 2010 and 2011 on the purchase of foreign currency. The measures imposed in 2010 were ostensibly aimed at reducing tax evasion and money laundering; however, many observers agree that the regulations were also intended to reduce capital flight from Argentina. Individuals and companies wanting to exchange Argentine pesos for foreign currency must now explain the source of their funds and be current with their tax obligations.

As we discussed in our prior blog post, various local governments in South Florida are embracing Property Assessment Clean Energy (“PACE”) programs to make green-friendly improvements to existing properties. WSHPC&B associate Chad S. Friedman significantly contributed to the creation of Florida’s first PACE program, the Green Corridor, under which participating local governments provide financing to property owners making qualifying improvements (such as efficiency improvements) to their buildings. Recently, Chad shared his thoughts on the new PACE programs that local governments are embracing and the highly publicized legal battles PACE programs are fighting in federal courts.

The recent economic doldrums have fueled at least one cultural and business phenomena: the pop-up store. With retail occupancy rates lagging, pop-ups (or temporary-store space), is a win-win for entrepreneur and landlords alike. Pop-up stores attempt to fill a marketing need or facilitate a product launch, and exist for a short amount of time. The very first pop-up stores centered around seasonal holidays like Christmas and Halloween. But more recently, pop-ups have been used by national “big box” retailers such as Toys R Us to create excitement (and sales) in new areas where they don’t currently have a brick and mortar presence. Even chefs have gotten into the act, temporarily renting existing “dark” restaurant space to promote a new, short-term restaurant concept. The pop-up phenomena is far from a fad, and is being fueled by the recession, a glut of commercial retail space, and a fast-moving internet society with an ever decreasing attention span.

Junior lenders can breathe a sigh of relief in the Bankruptcy Courts of the Southern District of Florida. The three judges of the Miami division have issued a memorandum opinion on the inability of chapter 13 debtors to "strip" liens when they are ineligible for a discharge. See In re Gerardin, 447 B.R. 342 (Bankr. S.D. Fla. 2011).

On July 7, 2011, the Florida Supreme Court reversed a decision by the Third District Court of Appeals reversing a trial court's class certification; in doing so, the Court also resolved a conflict created between the Third DCA and Fourth DCA concerning the proper standard of review on appeal. In Sosa v. Safeway Premium Fin. Co., 36 Fla. L. Weekly S373 (Fla. 2011), the Court held that because class certification involves factual findings, the correct standard of review is not a de novo analysis of the facts, but whether the trial court abused its discretion. Moreover, class certification should involve findings limited to the requirement for class certification and should not address the cause of action's merits.
