SPA: GLAMOUR. HEALTH. WELLNESS.

The MedSpa and Wellness industry continues to expand and evolve. And Icon Equity, with experience in the hotel and service industries, is expanding its reach into the medical spa business. The company plans to open a world-class medspa, in the heart of downtown Miami, on the upscale and glamorous Brickell Avenue. It will be all about individuality and tailoring the medspa experience to the needs of the client. Clients will be treated to various modalities that physically enhance the body, or they can take a yoga class or simply meditate and exhale. The spa will feature the popular Ayurveda system, which is one of the world’s oldest holistic healing systems. It will also feature emerging spa technology such as Velashape®, a non-invasive body contouring system, and the oxygen therapy system called Instant Glow. Clients will also be able to experience UltraShape Power, a painless non-invasive fat reduction treatment, among others. Miami is one of the most popular Spa Tourism Destinations for health and wellness-minded travelers, and Icon Equity is excited to become a part of that landscape. The medspa is set to open in 2018.

REAL ESTATE

Real Estate represents the largest sector of Icon Equity’s portfolio. Diversifications in Multifamily Properties, Boat Marinas, and Self-Storage Properties are setting up Icon Equity to expand and make a name for itself in these sectors. Each sector boasts of low volatility and increasing revenues. The multifamily market has enjoyed several years of rapid growth, with no signs of slowing down. Boat sales continue to be robust, which in turn, pushes the need for more Boat Marinas. And who doesn’t need self-storage? This industry, with low overhead, is also expected to continue to flourish. It’s a win-win, for Icon Equity. So far, the company’s portfolio is composed of properties located in Florida, Texas, New York and Arizona, with more to come.

TRANSPORTATION LOGISTICS

Icon Equity’s Founder and President, Guilherme Ribeiro is not new to the Traffic Management industry, so making it an integral part of his company, was a no-brainer. Enter Way Trucking, a nationwide, long-haul freight business. Guilherme and a long-time Friend who share the same vision of a business built on integrity, founded Way Trucking, which will be equipped to handle a wide range of dry goods and materials. Most international companies today, have global production and a high need for transportation in the U.S. Add to that, the continued growth of online retailers and a surging ecommerce market, around the world. Transportation Logistics is big business and is expected to only get bigger. The trucking industry in general is the lifeblood of the U.S. economy, moving over 70 percent of all of the freight shipped in the United States. The American Trucking Association says goods hauled by truck are expected to grow at a three-percent rate per year, over the next five years. Way Trucking will be up to the challenge. The company, which will launch field operations in June 2018, is projected to have a sizable fleet of trailers and tractors in place, in 2019.
