Streamline Properties Founder Saul Gross
Saul Gross, founder and president of Streamline Properties, Inc., is a
well-known civic and business leader in Miami Beach with more than 20 years
experience in the real estate industry.
Saul is a graduate of Cornell University and holds a law degree from the
University of Pennsylvania. His experience as a real estate attorney
in New York City with Morgan, Lewis & Bockius and as a Vice President
with The Urban Group, a syndication company specializing in renovation
of historic properties, set the stage for Saul’s success in Miami Beach.
Saul is one of pioneers that transformed the Miami Beach Art Deco District
into an international destination spot. After securing $7 million in
venture capital and relocating to Miami Beach, Saul began renovating 8
historic apartment buildings in the Flamingo Park area that greatly
impacted the revitalization of the neighborhood.
Streamline Properties was established in 1984 for the purpose of providing
investors with high value real estate investments that offered attractive
income and appreciation opportunities. Services included acquisitions,
joint ventures, rehabs, leasing and property management.
Saul gained a reputation for his innovative restoration projects,
wining awards for preserving the design esthetics of some of the area’s
most treasured Art Deco buildings and for his contribution to the economic
betterment of the Miami Beach community.
In 1988, Saul was the first developer during the reemergence of the Art Deco
District to renovate a block of storefronts on Washington Avenue, where he
opened the offices of Streamline Properties. In addition to handling his
successful development and property management business, Saul expanded the
company to a full service brokerage firm, carefully recruiting a group of
experienced sales agents who shared his pioneering enthusiasm.
In 1992, Saul successfully converted 5 of his renovated apartment buildings
to condominium ownership. Streamline has sold over a thousand condo units
in converted apartment buildings and new high rises in Miami Beach.
Under Saul’s leadership, Streamline’s property management division has
maintained 35 apartment rental and condominium buildings along with 50,000
square feet of retail space and 150,000 square feet of office suites.
Capitalizing on his broker and development experience, Saul has built a
powerful commercial division that has brokered the sale of more than 100
apartment buildings and hotels. Streamline has sold more apartment
buildings in Miami Beach than any other brokerage firm in the area.
He has served on the Board of Governors of the Miami Beach Chamber of
Commerce, and as Chairman of the City of Miami Beach Design Review Board
and Chairman of the Business Resolution Task Force. In 2001, Saul was
elected to a seat on the City of Miami Beach Commission, which he is
currently serving.
A real estate brokerage firm is only as good as its reputation and a good
reputation can only result from a history of ethical business. Saul Gross’
reputation for integrity and fair dealmaking together with his long and
successful track record has brought Streamline Properties to the forefront
of the real estate industry in Miami Beach.
