Mr. Mattaway has been in the real estate development business in South Florida since 1980 when he migrated from the practice of law.  He has a 40-year-plus career of successful residential and commercial real estate development.  The Roads Townhomes, a luxury townhomes development in the heart of Miami, is his latest project.

​

The goal for every residential project Mr. Mattaway has undertaken is to create a product that fits into and takes advantage of its environment and meets the needs of the people who would live or work there.  Achievement of that goal is evidenced by the ongoing success of each development – with nearly every unit of every residential project sold before completion of construction, and the ongoing demand and high resale prices realized when they change hands.

 

The Roads Townhomes is an apt expression of that goal and a worthy addition to Mr. Mattaway’s legacy.  He is proud to be adding The Roads Townhomes, already recognized by the Florida Chapter of the American Institute of Architects for its outstanding design, to the list of prior successes. 

​

Prior Successes

​

Mr. Mattaway’s first development was Arbor Courts in West Kendall – 284 townhomes on 18 acres. The Arbor Courts townhomes established the commitment to design detail and construction quality.  Each block of Arbor Courts townhomes consists of 4 4-unit, 2-story buildings. Every townhome is a corner unit with a private, fenced courtyard. A public courtyard is located in the center of the block.  Constructed of poured-in-place concrete (exterior walls, slabs, and roof), Arbor Courts was the only residential development in West Kendall to experience zero structural damage from Hurricane Andrew. 

 

Arbor Courts of Kendall was followed by the 92 townhomes of Arbor Courts at Jacaranda in Broward County.

 

Parkside Village, a gated enclave of 20 luxury single-family homes next to Dante Fascell Park in South Miami, is built on the former 5-acre Shaw Nursery.  The numerous specimen hardwood trees, palms, and stands of bamboo contained in the nursery were transplanted to one side of the site during development and replanted throughout the site as the homes were constructed resulting in a community of brand-new island-architecture homes with mature, lush landscapes.

​

The Reserve of Pinecrest is modeled after the California Courtyard archetype.  The 68 condominium apartments in 6 buildings surround and overlook a tropical-landscaped paradise, including a pool and clubhouse.  Parking is underground and out of sight. 

​

Pine Manor, a 42-unit townhome development, occupies a 4-acre site between higher-density apartment/condominiums on one side and high-end single-family homes on the other, all within a short walk from the bustling South Miami commercial district.  For this relatively urban site, Westway chose a housing model typified by the famous row houses of Charleston, South Carolina.

​

The Pine Manor townhomes, facing the 2-block long, north-south streets, are entered through their graceful, gated private gardens.  The garden walls and entry gates are punctuated by indigenous Coral Rock columns. A central, gated rear drive provides access to each townhome’s 2-car carport. The architectural style is Dutch South African, inspired by the historic 1920s residential village of that style by Coral Gables’ developer, George Merrick.

 

The Roads Townhomes follows the principals of Pine Manor, but with modern, award-winning architecture designed by Jason Chandler, practitioner and educator – professor of architecture and former dean of the School of Architecture at Florida International University.
