THE DETAILS COUNT

If you’ve seen Transformers’ director Michael Bay’s recent

blockbuster film, Pain & Gain, starring Mark Wahlberg, Dwayne

Johnson (aka The Rock) and Ed Harris, you surely couldn’t miss

this house! Not only because it’s Harris’ home throughout the

movie, but because of its standout architectural and interior design

features. Gutted and completely renovated from head to toe, the

once-uninhabitable home was transformed into a 1950s beauty

in just 90 days — thanks to a little MV Group magic. “We finished

the home just for the movie, and then sold it immediately after

filming wrapped,” says Manny Varas, MV Group president and

owner. Capitalizing on the existing architecture and sweeping bay

views, MV Group redesigned the entire home’s exterior and interior

architectural details, including the flooring, windows, walls, pool

Everything we design, we can build,” says MV Group President

and CEO Manny Varas. And delivering on design is what the

award-winning, Miami-based design/build firm is all about.

Delivering distinction, industry-specific expertise and innovation

when it comes to multi-dimensional construction and interior

solutions that are tailor-made for you.

From multi-million-dollar residential and commercial projects

to high-end condominiums, MV Group offers full-service, turnkey

results that are unparalleled in the industry. Our team of experienced

builders, interior designers and architects coordinates every facet

of your design dream, from conception to the last architectural

and interior detail. We work with only the most stylish, upscale

millwork, materials and finishes — transforming raw living spaces

into tasteful, chic homes customized to clients’ personalities,

needs and lifestyle. No matter the style, MV Group completes

projects when you expect, within your budget, without ever

compromising on quality. That’s our commitment to you. “I don’t

want people to hire us because we can do work in a timely manner;

I want people to hire us because we’re the best at what we do. It’s one

masterpiece at a time,” Varas says.

Many of our long-standing clients know us from our work; others

know us by our name. Varas was recently named one of the “Top 100

Entrepreneurs in the Nation,” while MV Group was named one of the

fastest-growing Hispanic companies in the nation. But we haven’t

received these accolades because we do our job. It’s because of our

dedication to uncompromising excellence, our connection to the

community and our passion for what we do.

No wonder MV Group’s clientele reads like a veritable list of who’s

who. Everyone from international power brokers, national hotel

chains and Fortune 500 investors, to publicly traded companies, real

estate developers, movie stars, sports celebrities and others look to

MV Group when it comes to building their dream into a reality!

As the exclusive design/build

firm for downtown Miami’s most

iconic address, Opera Tower,

MV Group recently completed three

model condominiums for the Tower’s

pioneer developer, Tibor Hollo, and

his 60-year-old company, Florida East

Coast Realty. Struggling to sell out,

Opera Tower looked to MV Group to take

its design and architectural offerings to

new heights, literally skyrocketing sales

from 26 to more than 400 sold. With their

turnkey expertise, MV Group transformed

three completely raw units (a studio, one

bedroom and two bedroom) — sans flooring,

closets or finishes — into show-stopping

designs that captured buyers as well as

MV Group’s vast design know-how. Whether

it’s a modern masterpiece or a timeless

traditional, MV Group offers versatility without

compromising quality. So no matter the style,

MV Group delivers full-service, turnkey design that

is on time, within budget and always grand in scale.

Who can take a completely blank canvas and create

a custom work of art in 45 days? That’s precisely

what MV Group accomplished for iStar Residential,

the developers of Miami’s premier Paramount

Bay. Working with a clean slate, MV Group

directed the construction and architectural

design for two units, transforming them into

luxury model masterpieces in just under two

months. One look at the models, and buyers

were sold. Since that time, MV Group has

completed more than 20 residences at

Paramount Bay, resulting in $20 million in

real estate for interior build-outs. What’s

next for MV at Paramount? They’re

currently working on eight condominium

residences totaling 15,000 square

feet. But for MV Group, it’s not about

quantity; it’s about quality. “We couldn’t

have achieved such unprecedented

success any other way,” says Manny

Varas, president and owner of

MV Group. “The numbers don’t lie

and neither does the design!”

Soaring 51 stories into the Miami skyline, the prestigious

Santa Maria sits on prime waterfront property right on

Biscayne Bay. Outside, it’s a stunner. Inside, the finishes

are the highest quality and the fixtures are state of the art. So,

it only makes sense that top-of-the-line design/build group,

MV, was awarded not one, but two condominium renovations

in the exclusive Santa Maria tower.

Drawing on the exterior’s dramatic architectural lines,

MV Group went to work, converting a two-bedroom into

a three-bedroom home, complete with a new kitchen that

opens to the living room and a steam shower in the master

bath. From its original $2 million price tag, the newly

designed creation boasts a 30% increase in value thanks

to MV Group’s outstanding work.

Because of this success, MV Group was awarded another

condominium currently under way. A complete renovation

from top to bottom, the 3,500-square-foot, 4-bedroom,

3-bath unit will be gutted inside and out — giving MV Group

the opportunity to showcase their expertise in all areas

of design, from construction to architecture and interior

detailing. Originally purchased for $2.4 million, the home

is projected to increase in value by 20-30%. A win-win

for the owners and MV Group!

Dymax International recently hired MV Group to

put their dynamic vision and ultra-luxury aesthetic to

work in the design of their 8th floor headquarters

in the Infinity at Brickell Miami tower. Overseeing every

facet of the nearly 3,000-square-foot design, MV Group

installed custom millwork, ceilings and flooring, down

to the very last detail. “This is a world-class firm

that produces exceptional work,” says Ricardo Del

Giglio, CEO, Dymax International.

opportunity to work with two NYSE publicly

the biggest consumer brands in the world, and the

other, the oldest investment house in the country.
