Steinlauf says, "
Our concept will be the same as our current store. We don't want to change who we are and who we have been a store that caters to everyone. We pride ourselves on having a large inventory at competitive prices. But we want to continue to grow, learn, and improve what we do for our customers.Our strategy will remain the same: carrying a large inventory emphasizing certified diamonds, engagement rings, and wedding bands. I mainly want to feature our fashion jewelry, watches, and estate jewelry. Eric says that the jewelry industry is constantly changing, and he and his team must be unique in certain areas, which is based on listening to his customers. "We try to see what's trending via social media. We listen to our customers in what they want. If we don't have something, we will look to add it to our collection. Like many new store concepts, we pride ourselves on customer service. We know buying and investing in jewelry is very important, and we want this to be a fun and comfortable experience for everyone." Elaborates Steinlauf on his new venture. He says, "With the vision of Yair Levy, we feel the future of downtown Miami is bright. We're one of the fastest-growing cities in America, and we want to be part of that. The Time Century Building will help bring the glamour back to downtown Miami. I think it will be a beautiful building and we are spending a lot to make our store a showstopper. It's what this city needs." Rejuvenating and expanding the Miami jewelry district is a long-awaited project for the city. As the city grows and with international visitors, Miami is a city that needs the credibility of a diamond grading school and laboratory because the market growth is exponential, and it is a vast market. Eric closes by saying, "This building is the start of a fantastic future for this city."More about Time Century Jewelry Center: Plans to open are targeted for the fourth quarter of 2022, offering over 225,000 square feet within their beautifully appointed luxury location.
