I have provided very detailed (and accurate) changes with considerable references below to support said updates. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS/CONCERNS/IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO CONNECT WITH ME DIRECTLY ON ANY OF THE BELOW. I can code the entire page for your review, if you should prefer.

1. TOP SYNOPOSIS

CURRENTLY READS: Alan Faena (1965 - ) is a prominent Argentine fashion designer and real estate developer.

PLEASE MAKE THE FOLLOWING ADDITIONS: Alan Faena (born in 1965) is a prominent Argentinean hotelier, real estate developer, businessman, philanthropist and founder/president of the Faena Group.

2.LIFE AND TIMES
 * THIS SECTION SHOULD BE NOW SPLIT INTO TWO SEPARATE SECTIONS: "EARLY LIFE" AND "CAREER"

CURRENTLY READS: LIFE AND TIMES: Faena was born to a Syrian Argentine family in Buenos Aires, in 1965. His parents became prosperous textile manufacturers and in 1985, Faena established Vía Vai (a casual wear design label and boutique).[1] Vía Vai prospered, and by the late 1990s, the firm's 40 outlets in Argentina and numerous others in Brazil, Chile, France and Italy grossed around US$30 million in net sales. Faena sold the chain in the year 2000, after which he relocated to the resort city of Punta del Este, Uruguay. Capital from the sale of Vía Vai allowed him to approach renowned French designer Philippe Starck with a concept for the creation of a hotel, residential and cultural complex in the newly renovated Puerto Madero docklands of Buenos Aires. This association, in turn, secured the interest of New York-based Russian developer Len Blavatnik, who made US$100 million available for the development of the "Faena Arts District."[1] The first segment of the district, the Faena Hotel+Universe, was opened in 2004, and in 2005, Puerto Madero lots were purchased for the development of El Aleph, a residential and cultural complex, and El Molino, residences built in a former silo and designed by Norman Foster.[1][2] These investments were followed in 2008 by the purchase of the Hotel Lago Moreno, in scenic Bariloche, for the purpose of a similar (though smaller), cultural, hotel and residential complex in that Andes range city.[3] Though Faena's future development plans had been affected by the international real estate crisis that erupted in 2008, the El Aleph complex has been garnering the second-highest sale prices in Buenos Aires: around US$5,400 per square meter (US$500 per sq ft).[4] The most recent Faena Art District project, opened in September 2011, involves the transformation of another early 20th century building: Los Molinos, which houses the new Faena Arts Center with exhibitions by Ernesto Neto and many more artists of international acclaim.[5][6] Faena is a member of the Tate International Committee and the Tate Latin American Acquisitions Committee.[7] He created the "F Awards for the Arts" in 2006: a program that awards subsidies for interdisciplinary projects designed by emerging local artists.[8]

PLEASE SPLIT THIS SECTION INTO "EARLY LIFE" AND "CAREER", AND EDIT THE CONTENT WITH THE FOLLOWING CHANGES/REFERENCES.

Early Life
Eldest son of prosperous textile manufacturers, at the age of eighteen Faena founded Via Vai in 1985, a label that revolutionized the concept of fashion and design in South America.

Career
In 1996, Faena sold his company and after 4 sabbatical years approached French designer Phillippe Starck with a concept for the creation of a hospitality, residential and cultural complex in the abandoned docklands of Buenos Aires. This association secured the interest of New York-based business magnate Len Blavatnik, who became a partner in the development of the first “Faena District” neighborhood, now one of the most affluent neighborhood in Buenos Aires. Blavatnik is also Faena’s partner for the upcoming Faena District in Miami.

The first segment of the district in Buenos Aires, the Faena Hotel, opened in 2004. In 2005, Puerto Madero lots were purchased for the development of residential compounds including Portenia I, Portenia 2, Los Molinos and Faena Aleph Residences, the latter Foster+Partners’ first project in Latin America completed in 2012. The Faena Arts Center [NOTE: this Wiki page is currently being made], which opened in September 2011, was created as a cultural center dedicated to exhibitions and site-specific works with a strong interdisciplinary focus.

Plans are currently underway for the development of the Faena District in Miami Beach in late 2014. The district will offer luxury residences at the Faena House, designed by Foster+Partners and which broke ground January 2013. It will also include the new Faena Grand Hôtel Saxony, conversion of the historic 1948 Saxony Hotel by the celebrated Roman and Williams architectural team. Pritzker-Prize winning architect Rem Koolhaas and OMA will design a series of projects including the Faena Sphere Art Center, Faena Bazaar (conversion of the historic Atlantic hotel) and Arts-in-Residence Center and Faena Park (a state-of the art automated parking complex). The district will be landscaped by Miami-based firm Raymond Jungles.

A revolutionary at heart and one of the most visionary leaders in South America, he has undertaken the transformation of key abandoned areas in two major international cities (Miami Beach/Buenos Aires) within three different industries: hospitality, art, and urbanism. In 2004, he created the Faena District in Buenos Aires, Argentina: an urban oasis that redefined the experience of living in a metropolis by merging the elements of art, sustainable architecture, and cutting-edge technology. The Faena Group has offices in Buenos Aires, New York, and Miami. Alan Faena splits his time between Miami Beach, Buenos Aires, and his residence in Punta del Elste, Uruguay.

"Early Life: The eldest son of successful textile manufacturers, Alan Faena founded the fashion label, Via Vai at the age of 18, a fashion label that revolutionized the concept of fashion, brands and design in South America. After managing the brand for over a decade, he left the fashion world in 2000 and returned to Buenos Aires with the intention of revolutionizing the cultural, social, and real estate industries of the country with the creation of a new hub for arts and culture. It was at this moment in time that he was inspired to realize his long-time dream: the transformation of Puerto Madero. Career: Faena Buenos Aires: Alan frequently took long walks by the Puerto Madero region of Buenos Aires, having lived and worked by the abandoned port area, which had no streets, sidewalks, or significant infrastructure. He was deeply moved by the beauty and proportions of two impressive turn of the century buildings, particularly the old mill, and realized the potential this forsaken port area held for the city of Buenos Aires. He wanted to create a hotel unlike any other in Buenos Aires. While skeptics’ thought the transformation of the port area would never succeed, in just ten years, and due to Faena's conviction, Puerto Madero became the most sought after and expensive real state property in the country.

Faena Miami Beach: Ever since the transformation of Puerto Madero, the Faena district in Buenos Aires has become an example of what an ideal city could be, and in 2015, Alan Faena, with long-time business partner Len Blavatnik, will introduce the first phase of Faena Miami Beach, the first location of the international expansion of the Faena Group. Bringing together some of the greatest creative talents of the 20th century and encompassing seven blocks on Collins Avenue, Faena Miami Beach includes: Faena House, the impressive and record-breaking luxury oceanfront residences designed by Brandon Haw (Foster + Partners) and the highly anticipated Faena Hotel Miami Beach, brought to life by the multi-award winning couple, Baz Luhrmann and Catherine Martin, followed by the unveiling of the Faena Arts Center, Artists-in-Residence, Park, Marina, and Bazaar all designed by Pritzker Prize winning Rem Koolhaas and OMA, framed by the lush landscaping of Raymond Jungles later that year. Faena Miami Beach will also include two additional hotels, The Versailles, re-designed by the celebrated British designer Thomas Heatherwick and the Casa Claridge Hotel. Alan Faena remains true to the mission of creating inspiring cultural communities with curated mix of hotels, residences, exhibition spaces, retail, restaurants and the best entertainment, come together to create neighborhoods that redefine the way we live in cities.

Faena Group Founded by Alan Faena, Faena Group is a pioneer in its field, a thriving business that specializes in the creation of one-of-a-kind holistic environments anchored in cultural experiences and socially responsible projects, that integrate residences and hotels with art and cultural spaces. Faena Group is rooted in ideas and concepts that have the power to reshape and enhance our world. The projects it develops are platforms for personal expression and cultural interaction, destination landmarks that inspire original thinking. Since 2000, Alan Faena has partnered with Len Blavatnik, a business leader with global interests in natural resources, media, entertainment, telecommunications, and real estate; together they have transformed an abandoned stretch of property, the docklands of Puerto Madero, into one of the most valuable pieces of real estate in Buenos Aires. The Faena Group’s success in Argentina has consolidated the company’s expertise in urban development. In 2015, Miami Beach will see the launch of the first phase of the Faena Group’s global expansion."

Faena Group

Founded by Alan Faena, the Faena Group is a privately held company that masterplans urban communities integrating high-end residential properties, luxury hotels, restaurants, art centers, theaters, health spas and retail concepts anchored in artistic and cultural experiences. Since 2000, Alan Faena and his business partner Len Blavatnik, a global industrialist and philanthropist, have developed abandoned stretches of land in both Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, and Miami, Florida into some of the most valuable real estate in both Latin America and the United States. Faena Group districts encompass new buildings, reimagined historic properties and dramatic natural settings, which Faena develops collaboratively with teams of leading architects, designers and artists. The Faena brand has experienced significant traction in the lifestyle and luxury consumer markets, earning international acclaim and a devoted following. Faena Group’s ethos is rooted in concepts and ideas that have the power to reshape and enhance our world. Each project is designed to be a platform for personal expression, cultural interaction and innovative thinking that challenge existing concepts of community, culture and entertainment. By integrating art, architecture, nature and technology in original ways, Faena creates new neighborhoods that have a proven track record of revitalizing economies.

Urban Redevelopment

Faena Group identifies and invests in neglected regions of real estate within urban centers for the purpose of transforming its physical and cultural landscape. Through the redevelopment of an existing environment, Faena achieves the goal of reinvigorating urban areas through art and culture, and multiplying land values on a large-scale community level.

Faena District Buenos Aires

The Faena District Buenos Aires is a 300,000-square-meter project in the previously abandoned Puerto Madero docklands bordering Rio de La Plata. The redevelopment began with the multimillion-dollar reformation of the El Porteño Building, a century-old red brick warehouse into Faena Hotel Buenos Aires, which also houses Faena’s El Cabaret theater. With the construction of two adjoining residential buildings, La Porteña Residences and La Porteña Residences II, the El Aleph Residential project designed by the London-based architecture firm Foster + Partners, and the transformation of a turn-of-the-century grain mill into the Faena Arts Center, the Faena District became the most expensive real estate quarter in Argentina.

Faena District Miami Beach

The $1.2bn Faena District Miami Beach spans one million square feet in Miami’s Mid Beach neighborhood from 32nd Street to 36th Street between the Atlantic Ocean and Indian Creek. It’s composed of Faena Hotel Miami Beach and Penthouse Residences and adjoining Faena Theater; Faena House residences designed by Foster + Partners; the Versailles building; boutique hotel Casa Faena; and the OMA-designed Faena Forum arts center, Faena Park, a mechanical car park, and Faena Bazaar retail space. The Faena Hotel Miami Beach property is a reinvention of the historic Saxony Hotel originally built in 1948 by George Sax and designed by Roy F. France that reigned as the foremost luxury hotel of its time housing famous guests including Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe and Dean Martin. Casa Faena was initially constructed in 1928 as the El Paraiso Apartments. The existing hotel stayed true to the structure’s original Spanish colonial architecture style.

Residential Development

Faena Group collaborates with acclaimed architects and designers to build luxury-level residential projects that combine with the brand’s award-winning services and amenities, converting rundown urban areas into prime real estate sectors. In Buenos Aires, the Faena Group owns and manages five residential properties including El Porteño Residences and La Porteña Residences I & II designed by Philippe Stark with the same aesthetic as the Faena Hotel Buenos Aires. Originally built in 1908, the restored La Porteña Residences II building has floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city and river. Designed by London’s prestigious architecture firm Foster + Partners, El Aleph Residence applies sustainable standards and the innovative use of indoor/outdoor space with double-height patios, split-level living spaces, vaulted ceilings and bronzed sliding windows to maximize natural ventilation. Oceana Puerto Madero is a development partnership between Alan Faena and Argentine real estate developer Eduardo F. Costantini being designed by architect Brandon Haw. The two residential buildings, large public square and public art will be part of the Faena District. Built in 2016 during the first phase of the Faena District Miami Beach, the Faena House attained sales that surpassed market standards in terms of price and velocity achieved. The 18-story luxury residential tower designed by Foster + Partners has a total of 47 units ranging from 2,030 to 3,545 square feet, 44 of which closed at record breaking prices of $3,000 per square foot and over $4,000 per square foot for the penthouses. Each condo features a wraparound terrace, floor-to-ceiling windows, and access to luxury amenities including a 24-hour doorman, security surveillance, valet, in-house spa, fitness center with direct ocean views, beach club, and priority reservations at Faena Hotel Miami Beach. Faena House has been recognized as the most exclusive community in Miami, rivaling completed global properties such as 15 Central Park West in New York and One Hyde Park in London. In 2015, the 22,500-square-foot Faena House penthouse sold for $60 million, making it the biggest sale ever for a single-family home in Miami-Dade County. Other residences include Faena Versailles, Faena Mar, and Penthouse Residences at Faena Hotel Miami Beach.

Faena Art

Faena Art is a non-profit organization that houses and produces post-disciplinary and time-based experiences, serving as a catalyst for innovative, site-specific and immersive creative practices. Through art, research, activism and community building, the organization fosters new models for performative social interaction that transcend the traditional boundaries of art, science, philosophy, and social practice.

An annual calendar of events includes large-scale site-specific art installations, musical and theatrical performances and artist lectures, many of which are free and open to the public. The Faena Prize for the Arts is a biennial international juried prize, which recognizes artistic experimentation, encourages post-disciplinary and temporal exploration, and promotes inquiry of the infinite links among art, technology and design. Each year, Faena Art calls for submissions from artists of all disciplines to rethink the space of Faena Art Center Buenos Aires from perspectives based on time and duration while engaging with the cultural and urban conditions of the city of Buenos Aires.

Faena District Buenos Aires

The Faena District Buenos Aires is a 300,000-square-meter project in the previously abandoned Puerto Madero docklands bordering Rio de La Plata. The redevelopment began with the multimillion-dollar reformation of the El Porteño Building, a century-old red brick warehouse into Faena Hotel Buenos Aires, which also houses Faena’s El Cabaret theater. With the construction of two adjoining residential buildings, La Porteña Residences and La Porteña Residences II, the El Aleph Residential project designed by the London-based architecture firm Foster + Partners, and the transformation of a turn-of-the-century grain mill into the Faena Art Center, the Faena District became the most expensive real estate quarter in Argentina. Faena District Miami Beach

The $1.2bn Faena District Miami Beach spans one million square feet in Miami’s Mid Beach neighborhood from 32nd Street to 36th Street between the Atlantic Ocean and Indian Creek. It’s composed of Faena Hotel Miami Beach and Penthouse Residences and adjoining Faena Theater; Faena House residences designed by Foster + Partners; the Versailles building; boutique hotel Casa Faena; and the OMA-designed Faena Forum arts center, Faena Park, a mechanical car park, and Faena Bazaar retail space. The Faena Hotel Miami Beach property is a reinvention of the historic Saxony Hotel originally built in 1948 by George Sax and designed by Roy F. France that reigned as the foremost luxury hotel of its time housing famous guests including Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe and Dean Martin. Casa Faena was initially constructed in 1928 as the El Paraiso Apartments. The existing hotel stayed true to the structure’s original Spanish colonial architecture style. Hospitality
