When the principals of VenAventura, LLC decided to add South
Florida to their ever-growing portfolio of development projects, they were
quick to snatch up one of Aventura’s last remaining and incredibly alluring
waterfront parcels.
This foresight is typical of the seasoned developers, whose sharp tactical eye
and strong marketing sensibilities have guided them toward decades of success
in both the United States and South America.
The principals’ collective experience in real estate design, development and
management is embodied by nearly a half-billion square feet of residential,
retail and commercial space throughout North and South America.
Partners Sami Shiro, Enrique Feldman and Paul Hariton
Partner Enrique Darer, a Columbia University and
Harvard-educated engineer, has actively developed more than $100 million in
properties throughout the US. Architects Enrique Feldman and Paul Hariton have
been partners for a decade at Hariton & Poplicher Asociados.
The renowned Venezuelan architecture, engineering and development firm has more
than four billion square feet of major shopping mall, commercial and
residential projects on its resume. Sami Shiro, a veteran Senior Consultant at
Ernst & Young in Chicago, further cultivated his sales and management
skills at Venezuela’s famed Chocolates St. Moritz where, as director and
General Manager, he completely reorganized the company and doubled sales.
