Miami condo craze returns as developers look to seize the moment
The 22-story, 49-unit oceanfront condo building was designed by architect Carlos Ott and features a pool as well as a gym, club room, theater and kids lounge.
Also in Hollywood, Related recently received approval to develop a 30-story, 300-unit condo project and rebuild the outdated Hollywood Beach Culture and Community Center.
Late last year, Pérez named one of his sons, Jon Paul Pérez, president of Related.
Related has launched a handful of projects in recent months, including Solemar, a luxury condo building planned for Pompano Beach; and Baccarat, a phased development in Brickell.
Other condo developers have followed suit, propelled by the increase in single-family home and condo sales during the pandemic.
