On Thursday, December 2nd 2021 I had the pleasure of going to Charles Celesia’s networking event for Art Basel in partnership with Compass. I was extremely excited for this event to not only meet Charles,a founding agent for Compass’s Florida office, but to again experience a Compass event. I have attended a few other Compass events and Open houses that are sponsored by the brokerage and I am always blown away by the professionalism and grandeur of the property, the people and the entertainment.
The property was the stunning PH4907 in the Vizcayne South Tower off Biscayne Boulevard overlooking the intercoastal waterway, venetian islands and Bayfront Park. Right when I walked in I was blown away by the floor to ceiling windows, decked-out kitchen, living and dining room with TV’s and plenty of space for entertaining. The second floor master bedroom was spectacular. It had a large bathroom, breathtaking views and a walk-in closet large enough to please any fashion collector. Right down the hall was one of the guest bedrooms and a cozy lounge big enough for more than a few guests.On the third floor (Yeah, 3 floors) there was another lounge area and a private, outdoor rooftop for any occasion.
Just as I expected, the event was spicy. I was greeted by Charles and we chatted in the kitchen, trying not to get distracted by the views of the water and the city. The spread was amazing with small bites, champagne and beer. Stella Artois was sponsoring the event and provided their own glass engraver for party guests looking to take home a souvenir. There were so many interesting people there from investment bankers, other realtors, tech entrepreneurs and buyers from across the world. This made for a great opportunity to network and have interesting and diverse conversations. At one point I was having a conversation with an entrepreneur from Eastern Europe, a Real Estate Investor from South America and a tech mogul from Canada, with the 4 of us covering 3 continents! Once we spent time downstairs eating food and mingling, we all made our way to the third floor entertainment space where DJ EFX was spinning and famous Miami artist Atomik was creating his renowned orange character style for event guests to buy. All proceeds went towards the care of disabled adults and kids and they raised $2,200 by the end of the night!
Cheers to you and your team, Charles. The spread was delicious, the people were classy and raising money for charity is the cherry on top! . It was an amazing experience with interesting and fun people, and I am looking forward to attending the next. All listing information below!
