To: Mayor Gabriel Groisman and Members of the Village Council
From: Jorge M. Gonzalez, Village Manager
Date: August 25, 2017
Subject: New Appointment - Grace Escalante, Building Director
The purpose of this Letter to Council (LTC) is to share with you that unfortunately, our
Building Department Director, Suramy Cabrera, has resigned her position with Bal
Harbour Village effective in mid -September as she has accepted a position with the City of
Coral Gables as the Development Services Director overseeing the Building, Planning and
Zoning departments. We thank Ms. Cabrera for her many contributions to the Village over
the past four years that she has worked in the Building Department, first with CAP
Government and since March 2016 as a full-time employee of the Village and wish her
much continued success as she begins her new position.
In preparing for Ms. Cabrera's departure, I have met with candidates to succeed her and
am pleased to announce that we have hired Grace Escalante as the Village's new Building
Department Director. Ms. Escalante is a Registered Architect and brings a wealth of
experience from both the public and private sectors. Currently, she has worked with Swire
Properties as a Senior Project Manager since 2012. Previously, she worked for the City of
Miami Beach in several senior -level positions, including the Assistant Director of the
Building Department and the Assistant Director of the Capital Improvements Projects
Office. Ms. Escalante has also previously worked for the Miami -Dade County Public
Schools District and URS Corporation. Ms. Escalante graduated Cum Laude with a
Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Miami. Attached is Ms. Escalante's resume.
Over the next several weeks, we will be working with both Ms. Cabrera and Ms. Escalante
to ensure a smooth transition of duties and the continued efficient operation of the
Building Department.
If you have any questions or need any additional information, please feel free to let me
know.
