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 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 300,000 square feet of office suites.

Saul has served on the Board of Governors of the Miami Beach Chamber of Commerce, as Chairman of the City of Miami Beach Design Review Board, Chairman of the Business Resolution Task Force and Miami Beach Commissioner from 2001-2009.

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.
