OMA-Designed The Perigon Breaks Ground on Miami Beach

A joint venture between Mast Capital and a controlled affiliate of Starwood Capital Group, a leading global private investment firm, today announced the groundbreaking of The Perigon Miami Beach, the area’s first residential project designed by world-renowned architectural firm, Rem-Koolhaas’ OMA.

The building features expansive, coveted beachfront acreage and a premium, five-star amenity collection, including a residents-only restaurant and private speakeasy led by Michelin starred Chef Shaun Hergatt. The milestone positions The Perigon as the only beachfront new development on the market in Miami Beach under active construction, with occupancy slated for late 2026. Pricing starts at $4.5 million. Sales and marketing are exclusively handled by Douglas Elliman Development Marketing.

“Breaking ground on The Perigon marks a new era for luxury living on Miami Beach - one that is characterized by sophisticated design and highly curated experiences,” said Camilo Miguel, Jr., CEO and Founder of Mast Capital. “We’ve partnered with some of the most brilliant visionaries in the world to create a new marvel located within the most coveted destination in the market. It’s evident by our tremendous sales that the concept is resonating with today’s discerning buyers.”

Offering panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean, the Miami city skyline and Biscayne Bay, The Perigon will rise 17 stories to deliver 73 residences with interiors by inimitable interior designer Tara Bernerd. Situated at 5333 Collins Avenue, the bespoke two- to four-bedroom light-filled homes will range in size from 2,100 to 6,700 square feet with direct and dual waterfront views, 10-foot ceiling heights and 10- to 12-foot-deep wraparound terraces for year-round indoor outdoor living. Taking inspiration from Europe’s famed rivieras, these estates in the sky will feature the highest-quality finishes including fluted natural stones, custom Italian cabinetry and a unique combination of refined materiality with a soft, natural color palette reflective of The Perigon’s prime coastal location.

“We are excited to celebrate the start of construction for our first residential project in Miami Beach,” said Jason Long, Partner of OMA. “While designing The Perigon, we shaped the building and its façade to bring both the ocean and the Miami cityscape into the building, opening waterfront vistas for every residence. To maximize its beachfront acreage, the building will also step upward to ‘hover’ above the lush gardens Neil Porter has designed.”

With an extended demolition driven by regulatory changes now complete and construction underway, The Perigon’s unique, cutting-edge architecture by OMA will soon come into view. The award-winning firm designed the tower as a “series” of buildings converged into one, rotated to orient and enhance views from all residences toward the Atlantic Ocean, while still optimizing the scenery of Biscayne Bay and the Miami city skyline overlooking Miami Beach. The building will appear to only gently touch the ground, maximizing space for the gardens below. The landscape design is envisioned by Gustafson Porter + Bowman, the firm responsible for redesigning the green space at the Eiffel Tower and delivering the powerful Princess Diana Memorial Fountain in London’s Hyde Park.

“We are thrilled to mark the formal start of construction on The Perigon, which will become an iconic and unique landmark on Miami Beach that will elevate the standard for a beachfront residential experience,” said Andrew Coren, Managing Director of Starwood Capital Group. “Working with our partners at Mast Capital and other talented collaborators, like OMA, we look forward to bringing the area’s most anticipated address to life.”

In addition to impeccable design, The Perigon offers world-class service and more than 20,000 square feet of unrivaled private amenity spaces that encapsulate its idyllic waterfront setting. An oceanfront restaurant, intimate speakeasy and a conservatory with a daily breakfast bar led by Michelin-starred Chef Shaun Hergatt will be exclusively available to residents. Additionally, a sunrise lounge and terrace are accessible for private events and entertaining guests and loved ones. Residents can enjoy a beachfront 25-meter lap swimming pool, private beach club, and a fully landscaped deck complete with cabanas, sunbeds and poolside food and beverage service. Additional amenities include a spa with sauna and treatment rooms, private salon, ocean-view fitness center, children’s playroom, screening room, wine room, guest suites and a dramatic double-height lobby lounge. These spaces will be activated by a dedicated lifestyle concierge and residential butler. Residents can also take advantage of 24-hour security, valet, house car, pool and beach service, in-residence dining and more.

Auberge Resorts Collection to Manage Witkoff's Iconic Shore Club, Auberge Resorts Collection in Miami Beach

Auberge Resorts Collection, an award-winning portfolio of one of-a-kind luxury hotels, resorts and residences, has been appointed by the Miami-based developer Witkoff and Monroe Capital to manage The Shore Club Resort & Residences, Auberge Resorts Collection in Miami Beach. The reimagining of the The Shore Club in the heart of Miami Beach is set to open in 2027 and will see the iconic hotel restored and elevated to welcome the world’s most discerning individuals once again, not just as a hotel, but as one the city’s most exclusive new permanent address’.

A historic landmark both architecturally and socially, The Shore Club has stood at 1901 Collins Avenue in the heart of Miami Beach since 1949, when Albert Anis designed the Art Deco-style hotel within a lush, beachfront oasis – even more verdant today. As an Auberge Resorts Collection property, this world-famous, three-acre playground with 175 feet of oceanfront will encompass not only the original Shore Club and its Art Deco contemporary, The Cromwell Hotel, built in 1939, but also a new 18-story residential tower and a free-standing residential villa, both designed by the globally esteemed Robert A.M. Stern Architects (RAMSA) as the lauded firm’s very first oceanfront project.

“We are excited to expand our urban footprint with the addition of Shore Club in Miami Beach, a place where nature, art, culture and entertainment come together in uniquely compelling ways,” said Dan Friedkin, chairman, Auberge Resorts Collection. “Our proven skill in elevating historic properties through exceptional service and experiences together with Witkoff’s vision and Robert Stern’s exquisite design will transform this legendary address into a dynamic new destination that embodies the unique spirit of Miami Beach. We can’t wait to bring this vision to life.”

Working closely with acclaimed London-based interior design firm Bryan O’Sullivan Studio and Kobi Karp Architecture and Interior Design, RAMSA and Auberge Resorts Collection will ensure that The Shore Club’s historic integrity and character remain intact, celebrating its vibrant past while firmly reinstating it as the centerpiece of a new South Beach era. Just 73 rooms and suites, including a luxurious penthouse, will offer guests the ultimate Miami Beach experience, with direct beach access, five-star amenities set within landscaped botanical gardens and the unparalleled, intuitive service and singular experiences for which Auberge Resorts Collection is known worldwide.

Rising from the shore with awe-inspiring Atlantic Ocean views, the property’s new 200-foot-tall residential tower, will reveal RAMSA’s spin on Miami Beach’s iconic MiMo (Miami Modern) architecture. Curves inspired by the ocean’s fluid form reference the area’s Art Deco heritage, while staggered tiers yield vast, undulating terraces and endless water vistas. The eight-story Cromwell Hotel will be transformed into a discreet private residential entrance from which homeowners will access the 49 exclusive residences. Each will offer its own distinct floor plan and large glass windows that frame dramatic ocean views, blurring the line between indoors and out. Residence interiors touch on the same timeless theme that runs throughout the resort, with rich woods, sinuous lines and brass accents a nod to the materials and forms of classic yachts.

An extremely rare addition to Miami Beach and completely unique to The Shore Club Resort & Residences, Auberge Resorts Collection, is one 8,000-square-foot beach house, also designed by RAMSA. Envisaged for a single family, the fully serviced villa offers its own private entrance, swimming pool and breathtaking, palm-fringed ocean views.

Residents and guests of The Shore Club Resort & Private Residences, Auberge Resorts Collection will be spoilt for choice when it comes to relaxation and entertainment within this private enclave, located just moments from all the city has to offer. Imbued with an intoxicating blend of beach serenity and buzzing urban vibes, the property’s lush green environs seamlessly knit the two historic landmarks and new elements into a cohesive whole, while separating private amenities from those open to resort guests.

Residents will enjoy a state-of-the-art private fitness center, a library, lounge and residents-only pool just steps from the sand, as well as exceptional in-home offerings. They will also be able to take full advantage of all other hotel amenities, including the signature restaurant, set to become the culinary destination of Miami. A buzzing and seductive double-height café and bar will lead to an alfresco lounge, and a world

class indoor-outdoor Auberge spa and fitness center will cater to all wellness needs. Time outside will be savored at the Beach Club, in the cocktail lounge and at three swimming pools flanked by sun terraces and a poolside café and bar.

Alex Witkoff, Co-CEO, Witkoff, notes, “With all their experience and finesse in curating luxury escapes and lifestyles, it gives me great pleasure to have the award-winning team at Auberge Resorts Collection manage our property in Miami Beach. The approach taken by Auberge Resorts Collection is very much in keeping with Witkoff’s ethos of crafting top-tier luxury destinations. This collaboration is complementary in every way and we very much look forward to working with them to reinstate this iconic property on the Miami Beach skyline.”

Says Craig Reid, chief executive officer, Auberge Resorts Collection: “We are delighted to partner with Witkoff and Monroe Capital as we continue to expand Auberge’s presence in global urban destinations. The Shore Club will be a standout destination highlighting Miami Beach as one of the finest locations in which to relax, play and live.”

The rotating menus will be curated to seamlessly transition from day to night, with service extending to the pool deck.

“Food is such an integral part of today’s residential experience,” said David Martin, CEO of Terra. “We’re very proud to be partnering with Michelle and Jeffrey, who possess a unique and heightened understanding of consumer needs. Their expertise extends far beyond traditional hospitality; we sought partners who also have a grasp on the behind-the-scenes of crafting and sustaining a comprehensive food and beverage concept.”

Five Park has recently completed construction and is on track for delivery this year. The landmark project features a striking 48-story tower and the adjacent Canopy Park, a backyard community oasis spanning three acres.

The Perigon Reveals First Look At New Renderings of Sprawling Lush Oceanfront Property

The Perigon, an iconic diamond-shaped luxury condominium tower designed by international architecture firm OMA, has revealed a first look at the 2.5 acres of prime oceanfront land at The Perigon in Miami Beach. Never-before-seen renderings perfectly illustrate how the entirety of the ground plane, featuring lush greenery by Gustafson Porter + Bowman, an oceanfront pool and private beach club, has been designed as a private oasis for residents to meander through the nature trails encircling the tower, relax in the sun and enjoy poolside dining services curated by Michelin-starred Chef Shaun Hergatt, and foster an intimate connection to South Florida's balmy environment.

Since vast acreage is a rare standout feature scarcely found in other waterfront high rises, the 73-residence tower was meticulously designed by OMA to appear to "float" above the ground. The resulting first level space augments The Perigon's array of five-star amenities centered around fostering a connection to the balmy environment, which includes a private beach club overlooking the sands below, pristine swimming pools lined with cabanas and expansive gardens encircling the entirety of the property. Gustafson Porter + Bowman, the landscape architecture firm responsible for the Eiffel Tower's green spaces, designed The Perigon's gardens to feature a meandering nature trail, secret alcoves, water features and diverse biomes that include distinct plant families in every corner to facilitate a peaceful, dynamic experience throughout the grounds.

The 17-story building features a bold, terraced design that rises 200 feet above the shoreline and offers 1,250 lineal feet of the tower’s gardens. Conceived as a series of diamond-shaped “towers” rotated to orient and optimizes views from all residences toward the Atlantic Ocean, Biscayne Bay, and the Miami skyline. The design for the interlocking towers will obtain LEED Gold certification when completed.

Nestled along the tranquil stretch of sand between Indian Creek and the Atlantic Ocean at 5333 Collins Avenue, The Perigon is slated for completion in 2026. The tower offers 73 two- to four-bedroom condominiums ranging from 2,100 to 6,700 square feet, with eight private guest suites offered to residents only.
