Real estate development
Fields is a hotel and hospitality investor and developer. In 2002, he purchased the Ankara Motel property on 23rd Street and Collins Avenue in the Collins Park neighborhood of South Beach. The motel was built in 1954 by the architecture firm of Reiff & Feldman and is an example of Googie style architecture in South Beach.[1] Fields redeveloped the property into Miami Beach's first arts hotel, inviting artists to design individual rooms (including Shepard Fairey and Kunzo Minami) and renamed the property The Creek South Beach. The redevelopment and design concept was praised by the media, winning best hotel in Miami Beach from The Miami New Times.[2]
