Call her Kaiser, because developer and historic preservationist Avra Jain is on a roll. The developer of the FAB-U-LOUS Vagabond Motel has picked up another, even more historic hotel, the Miami River Inn for $8.6 million, from its former owner, fellow preservationist Sallye Jude. Right now, she is just updating the grounds, replacing furniture, and doing other cosmetic things. (Jain also mentioned to Curbed that it's being tented this week) "The idea is to make it more beautiful and more high end because of its proximity to downtown," said Jason Katz, who closed the deal on behalf of Avra.
