Miami’s skyline keeps evolving, and few projects are drawing as much attention as The James Hotel & Residences Miami. The 101-story supertall is just a block from Biscayne Boulevard, and its developers envision it as the defining tower in the city’s downtown core. The project is the flagship of Mint Developers, a Miami real estate development company that is quickly making a name for itself in the luxury residential and hospitality sectors.

Mint has a development pipeline exceeding $2 billion. President and CEO Daniel Berman partnered with Mack Sanchez to launch the company, which operates on the belief that luxury real estate should feel less like a transaction and more like belonging somewhere. With The James Hotel & Residences Miami, Mint is betting that community, culture, and consistency will set it apart in one of the country’s most competitive luxury markets.

Berman’s path to becoming Mint’s President and CEO did not begin in real estate. It started on the sales floor of his family’s textile business in Venezuela, where a single client visit with his father hooked him on sales for good. That instinct for relationship building, sharpened through decades in textiles, a stint in acting and modeling, and a rocky start running a promotional products franchise in Miami, eventually led him toward real estate after watching his landlord profit no matter how his own business performed. A 2011 acquisition of 500 hotel rooms started Berman on a journey that led to his company managing approximately 4,000 hotel rooms today.

Mint’s “vision is to create communities within real estate,” Berman told City Biz in a recent Q&A. “It’s not just about buildings anymore, or about selling properties. It’s about creating something where people feel like they belong. There’s so much technology in our lives today that people feel a real need for person-to-person connection, whether that’s having coffee together or playing padel. We believe we can create all of that within one property and then replicate it in different cities.”
