Miami-Based North Development Launches ‘North Management’ to Oversee Operations of the Developer’s Short-Term Rental Projects

The hospitality-focused subsidiary of North Development has been designed to provide a highly efficient, tech-bolstered platform for owners and guests of the developer’s varied short-term rental properties

 – the Miami-based developer behind the on-the-rise  – announced today the launch of , a hospitality-based short-term-rental management company that will oversee the developer’s portfolio of projects.

North Management brings North Development’s vision of seamless, hospitality-driven living to life by delivering exceptional service, curated designs, and consistent operational performance. With decades of leadership in luxury hospitality, the company is dedicated to building expert teams that elevate the guest and resident experience across every Domus FLATS property.

“The creation of this unique subsidiary was driven by our frustrations with short-term rental units and how they’re being managed – both from the standpoint of the owner as well as the guest,” said Ricardo Dunin, a principal with North Development and a pioneer of the condo-hotel product.

“Brands like Airbnb and Vrbo have helped transform the concept of short-term rentals, yet unfortunately for travelers, they have also created a ‘hit-or-miss’ environment,” Dunin continued.  “Sometimes these properties meet expectations, but often they fall very short.”

“What’s being created here is an actual brand – an upgrade of the Airbnb type of platform,” said Gilberto Garcia-Tuñon, Head of Hospitality for North Management.  “At those platforms, the quality depends on the host.  At North Management, our approach is to blend a hotel environment into short-term rental products.  That means, when you are a guest at a Domus-branded product, you’ll feel more like you’re staying in a hotel – yet with the infrastructure and the value of an independently owned short-term rental.”

“When you book at a North Management-led project, you’ll know what you’re going to get,” added Garcia-Tuñon.

Features of these projects by North Development – including what residents and guests will enjoy at the under-construction  and soon-to-break-ground   – include:

  • Thoughtfully designed, top-quality commercial-grade features and furnishings that meet — and often exceed — guest expectations, delivering a hotel-caliber experience in every stay.
  • A world-class reservations platform, at-par with most hotel companies and airlines providing those reserving a room with ease-of-use.  The same platform also provides owners with the ability to better track their properties.
  • Domus Ambassadors warmly welcome owners and guests into elevated co-working spaces complete with private meeting rooms, high-speed internet throughout the property and a refined food and beverage experience.
  • A proprietary app that allows for reservations, check-in and check-out, access to elevators and guest rooms, along with a platform to request services.
  • Exceptional attention to bedding, recognizing that quality sleep is the most valued part of any stay. Every residence features luxurious linens, oversized TVs, and immersive soundbars — perfect for relaxing with a movie at the end of the day.
  • Wellness-focused features, including state-of-the-art air and water filtration by CLEAR, personal trainers and spa treatments.
  • Professional housekeeping services and quality control supervisors, as well as 24-hour valet, utilizing an organization with vast luxury hospitality experience.

“Our goal with the development and launch of North Management is to eliminate the flaws of the very outdated traditional condo-hotel model and offer a modern, upgraded alternative to owners and the renters alike,” concluded Juan Carlos Tassara, co-principal of North Development.  “We have a diversified team – one fully capable of offering a short-term rental experience unlike any other.”
