An eclectic mix of local, out-of-state and foreign buyers, including a Bollywood star, a New York City power couple and a Boca Raton collections agency mogul, have purchased 53 percent of the 26 luxury condos designed by John Pawson at the Miami Beach EDITION hotel.
Buyers began picking up units in hotelier Ian Schrager’s latest vision for ultra-exclusive luxury living in October, three months ahead of the EDITION’s soft opening during Art Basel week.
Schrager teamed up with Marriott to redevelop the former site of the Seville Hotel at 2901 Collins Avenue. The condos are located in a newly built 18-story tower adjacent to a landmarked building from the 1950s with 294 hotel rooms. The residences and hotel have separate doors, with the condos also having an anonymous “celebrity” entrance.
According to Miami-Dade county public records, the buyers are:
