Pérez created Zumba in 1999. Roughly 15 million people take Zumba weekly classes in over 200,000 locations in 180 countries, according to its website.

That same month, an heir to the fortune of Philadelphia businessman Lewis Katz paid $6.8 million or $2,300 per square foot for unit 3707, also in the south tower.
The Continuum is undergoing an exterior renovation designed by ArquitectonicaGEO. The development was built by Ian Bruce Eichner’s Continuum Co. in the early 2000s.
