"This development will bring urban living to the city," says John Chappelear, senior vice president of the Related Group. "As part of the new town center, The Venture will serve as the city's centerpiece and will reflect the upscale lifestyle that has become a trademark in Aventura."

"We are developing a trendy urban village with a focus on attainable luxury," Chappelear adds. "With pre-construction prices that are unheard of, buyers need to obtain their invitation now to get in on this limited-time offer."

The Venture was designed by the architectural firm Arquitectonica. The development will feature new urban design and be pedestrian friendly. Amenities will include three pools, a Jacuzzi, a fitness center, a spa, a business center, cyber lounges, a club room, and valet and concierge services.
