KW PROPERTY MANAGEMENT & CONSULTING, a premier Florida-based association management company, added six communities totaling more than 1,700 units to its robust community management portfolio. The communities are all located in KWPMC’s home base of Miami-Dade County.

The new assignments include the OKO Group-developed Missoni Baia condominium building in Miami’s Edgewater neighborhood. Missoni Baia features 249 luxurious residences and an array of amenities including a bayfront lounge with a pool overlooking the water; a media room; beauty salon; children’s playroom; pet spa; expansive gym with bayfront views; and one of Miami’s largest, resident-only spas.

In downtown Miami, KWPMC was awarded community management of Vizcayne, a 49-story, twin tower condominium complex with 844 units. The assignment includes Vizcayne’s North and South towers and the master association. The company also took over management of Costa Brava and the Courts at South Beach in Miami Beach.

Rounding out the new assignments are Turnberry Towers in Aventura and the Residences at Sunset Place in South Miami.

“These new assignments range from ultra-luxury high-rise condominium towers in Miami’s urban core to high-end beachfront communities and suburban condo buildings,” KWPMC CEO Paul Kaplan said. “That is a reflection of our team’s consistency in applying best practices in property management, accounting, hospitality and technology across all product types.”

KW PROPERTY MANAGEMENT & CONSULTING, a premier Florida-based association management company, continues to strengthen its leadership team with talented new additions. In the latest example, longtime Certified Public Accountant Diana Rivera joined KWPMC as Executive Director of Association Finance.

In her new role, Rivera will work closely with KWPMC Partner and Executive Director Roxana Dorigo to ensure all of the company’s condominium and homeowner association clients receive top-tier accounting services and timely reporting.

A native of Puerto Rico, Rivera began her career as an auditor for Kane and Company. Most recently, she served as a partner in the audit practice of CPA firm BDO USA LLP. While there, Rivera specializes in financial auditing and forensic examinations for condominium associations, mixed-use developments, cooperative housing corporations and timeshare and resort associations.

“Diana Rivera is an experienced and accomplished CPA who will thrive with us,” KWPMC CEO Paul Kaplan said. “KWPMC was founded by CPAs, and fusing accounting expertise with strong property management and hospitality services has been pivotal to our growth and success. Diana will play an important role in continuing our momentum and providing strong financial guidance to our association clients.”

Throughout her two-decade career, Rivera has been an industry leader and frequently invited by professional organizations to share her insights. Affiliations include the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, Florida Institute of Certified Public Accountants and Puerto Rico Society of Certified Public Accountants.

Rivera was honored each of the past three years in the Top CPAs and Litigation Support Professionals category of the South Florida Legal Guide. She earned a 40 Under 40 Award from CPA Practice Advisor in 2017.

“KWPMC is a tremendous company and one of Miami’s most impressive entrepreneurial success stories in recent memory,” Rivera said. “It is so exciting to now have the opportunity to be part of its team and support KWPMC’s association clients.”

Rivera earned her Bachelor of Business Administration in Accounting from the University of Puerto Rico.

KW PROPERTY MANAGEMENT & CONSULTING, a premier Florida-based association management company, made a pivotal addition to its executive leadership team with the arrival of Jorge Lago as Chief Operating Officer.  Based in Miami, Lago brings 18 years of property and asset management experience to KWPMC.

As COO, Lago will work closely with KWPMC President Katalina Cruz to continue strengthening the company’s people, processes and technology, while keeping the organization focused on delivering superior customer service.

Lago was most recently Senior Vice President of Property and Asset Management at My Community Homes, a KKR portfolio company, where he led its business growth initiatives and national operations. Prior to that, Lago served as Vice President of Real Estate Asset Management for Wells Fargo Bank in Seattle. In that role, he oversaw all asset management services in the Pacific Northwest, which included seven markets, and managed commercial and residential real estate investments for high-net-worth and institutional clients.

Beginning his career in property management with FirstService Residential, Lago managed high-rise condominium associations across South Florida.

“Jorge Lago is a tremendous addition to the KWPMC family,” KWPMC CEO Paul Kaplan said. “He is talented, experienced and extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of property management. Our employees, managers and residents will benefit greatly from Jorge’s leadership.”

A resident of Plantation, Lago earned his Master of Business Administration from the University of Miami and Bachelor of Business Administration from St. Thomas University.

“I am eager to help build on the incredible momentum KWPMC’s leadership has created,” Lago said. “Over the next few months, it will be exciting to visit many properties across the company’s vast portfolio and meet our dedicated managers and board members. KWPMC is truly unmatched in the industry.”
