Bednyak co-created Vivid Seats with his business partner Eric Vassilatos in 2001. Its investors have included Vista Equity Partners and GTCR, a Chicago-based private equity firm. GTCR’s investment in the ticket resale company valued Vivid Seats at more than $1 billion in 2017.

Oceana Bal Harbour, at 10201 Collins Avenue, was completed by developer Eduardo Costantini in 2016. Arquitectonica designed the development, and Piero Lissoni designed the interiors, the private restaurant and the penthouse bathrooms. Enzo Enea designed the pool deck landscape.

Recent sales include the $8.15 million trade of a unit to Brazilian retail mogul Élvio Gurgel Rocha, and the $7.1 million sale of a unit to a South Carolina newspaper family’s trust.
