What Newgard Development Group does

Newgard Development Group is a Miami-headquartered, privately held real estate development firm founded in 2000 by Harvey Hernandez, operating across major U.S. markets with a 25-year track record of 19 projects encompassing 8.3 million square feet and $3.6 billion in total development value. Its portfolio is concentrated in South Florida — particularly Brickell and greater Miami — with extensions into Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, Austin, Nashville, Orlando, and Los Angeles, and spans luxury condominium towers (BrickellHouse, Centro Miami, Natiivo Miami, Natiivo Austin, Gale Fort Lauderdale), branded club residences (LOFTY Brickell, The Standard Residences Brickell), mixed-use waterfront product (Project M, One Brickell Riverfront), and an emerging niche of luxury automotive condominiums (Revault, Palm Beach Auto Haus).

The firm runs an integrated in-house platform covering site selection, design, construction management, sales, marketing, and capital strategy, supplemented by a network of design and hospitality partners including Arquitectonica, Yabu Pushelberg, Brandon Haw, Sieger Suarez, Urban Robot, INC Design Studio, Menin Hospitality, MasterHost, and The Standard Hotels. Its differentiated offering centers on flexible-ownership residential brands — Natiivo and LOFTY — built around no-rental-restriction ownership models supported by MasterHost's 24/7 short-term rental and guest services, plus smart-building technology and LEED-oriented sustainability in newer projects.

Newgard monetizes through one-time condo unit sales at premium price points, end-to-end development and construction management services, and recurring-style private credit products such as Power Yield II (12-15% annualized returns, $50,000 minimum, monthly distributions to accredited investors). GTM is direct-to-consumer via in-house sales teams at project sales centers and the Miami HQ, complemented by accredited-investor outreach. Recent capital activity includes $513 million in construction financing for One Brickell Riverfront alongside JV partner Two Roads Development, while the Natiivo Fort Lauderdale site is under a $25.7 million foreclosure judgment entered January 30, 2026 with a March 11, 2026 court auction, alongside a separate personal-guarantee enforcement suit.

Direct peers

• Fortune International Group: Long-established Miami luxury condo developer (Brickell, Sunny Isles, Edgewater) competing directly with Newgard for high-net-worth buyers and premium sites in the same submarkets.
• PMG (Property Markets Group): Residential and mixed-use developer with active South Florida pipeline; comparable in scale and product mix to Newgard's mid-sized luxury condo portfolio.
• Crescent Heights: National luxury high-rise residential developer with major Miami presence (e.g., Brickell Flatiron, Aria on the Bay). Competes head-to-head for luxury condo buyers in the same Brickell corridor as Newgard's LOFTY and The Standard Residences.
• Two Roads Development: Miami-based luxury condo developer and Newgard's joint venture partner on the $513M One Brickell Riverfront project. Operates in the same luxury condo segment with similar high-rise, branded-residence playbook.
• Related Group: Miami-based luxury condominium and mixed-use developer with a deep South Florida high-rise portfolio directly overlapping Newgard's core Brickell/Downtown Miami product. Both target affluent buyers with branded lifestyle residences in walkable urban locations.
• Aria Development Group: Miami-based luxury condo developer active in Brickell, Edgewater, and Sunny Isles. Smaller and more boutique than Newgard but operates the same luxury for-sale condo model in overlapping submarkets.
• Property Markets Group: New York and Miami-based luxury condo developer (e.g., The Markers, Elysee, Brickell House adjacent projects) pursuing the same lifestyle-driven, branded-residence model targeting affluent domestic and international buyers.

Broad incumbents

• Swire Properties: Hong Kong-based developer of Brickell City Centre and other large mixed-use South Florida projects. Operates as a broader, better-capitalized incumbent with similar luxury mixed-use ambition but a much larger geographic footprint.
• The Related Companies: National, multi-product real estate platform with luxury residential development, branded residences, and large-scale mixed-use projects. Operates adjacent to Newgard's segment but with substantially more scale, capital, and geographic reach.

Others

• Kushner Companies: Diversified national real estate firm and Newgard's senior lender on Natiivo Fort Lauderdale, where it obtained the $25.7M foreclosure judgment. Comparable as a real estate operator and as a counterparty that has stress-tested Newgard's underwriting.
