THE NEW LAVILLA
The 6300 SF designated historic landmark is currently under the design phase with full renovation and buildout projected to be completed by 2026.

We will employ up to 23 full- and part-time employees including four (4) full-time staff that include a Facility Director, Community Manager, Event Manager, and Marketing Manager. The Community Manager will be responsible for day-to-day management and member relations. The full-time Event Manager will be responsible for increasing event sales with a focus on boutique weddings and bridal showers, office launch events, and networking receptions.
Additionally, the Entrepreneurship Center will add three to five solo entrepreneurs who will assist coworking members and the public. The team of entrepreneurs consists of those in need of flexible part-time work while they grow their business. The Entrepreneurship Center will offer financial and business coaching, employment services and training through free and paid services.
The New LaVilla is a single member limited liability company domiciled in the State of Florida.
Why invest in THE NEW LAVILLA ?
Private investors are drawn to real estate for its potential to generate wealth through various channels, making it an attractive addition to their investment strategy
01
Capital Appreciation: Real estate values tend to increase over time, which can result in significant capital gains for investors. This appreciation can come from both the land and the improvements made on it, such as buildings or landscaping.
03
Diversification: Including real estate in an investment portfolio can reduce volatility and risk. Real estate has a low correlation with other major asset classes, which means it can serve as a hedge against inflation and economic fluctuations.
05
Tax Advantages: There are numerous tax benefits associated with real estate investing, such as deductions for mortgage interest, operating expenses, property taxes, and depreciation. Additionally, certain real estate investment strategies, such as real estate investment trusts (REITs), offer unique tax advantages.
07
Inflation Hedge: Real estate investment is often viewed as a good hedge against inflation. As inflation increases, so does the value of property and the amount of rent that can be charged. This helps to protect the purchasing power of an investor’s capital.
02
Cash Flow: Rental properties can provide a steady stream of income from tenants. This cash flow can be a reliable source of passive income, helping to cover the mortgage, maintenance, and other property-related expenses, with the surplus being profit.
04
Leverage: Real estate allows investors to use leverage more effectively than many other investment types. By using borrowed capital to finance the purchase of a property, investors can achieve a higher return on investment, as they can gain from the appreciation of a more valuable asset.
06
Community Development: For some investors, the appeal lies in the opportunity to contribute to community development and revitalization. Investing in property development or renovation projects can lead to improved neighborhood conditions, enhanced property values, and a sense of personal fulfillment.
08
Tangible Asset: Unlike stocks and bonds, real estate is a tangible asset that provides more control to the investor. Investors can make decisions on property management, leasing, and improvements to directly influence the asset's value and return
