Or I can remember a much smaller project, like the Mayfair in Coconut Grove, which is currently under going it’s third or fourth reincarnation; and ask will this be…

To say that Jorge Perez and his team at the Related Group have over delivered with 50 Biscayne would not only be an understatement but a downright insult. We toured the property last night during the Grand Opening party and the building is beautiful. The unobstructed views of Biscayne Bay at night, the Miami Beach skyline and the Port of Miami lit up and moving were breathtaking. The finish work is fantastic in the common…
