Revealed: The Perigon Miami Beach
Mast Capital and Starwood Capital Group have officially launched sales of The Perigon, a luxury condo development planned for an oceanfront site in Miami Beach located at 5333 Collins Avenue.
After the City of Miami declared the existing La Costa Condo tower unsafe last summer, Mast Capital bought out the remaining units in an effort to move forward with The Perigon.

Rem Koolhaas is named as the architect for the project while Tara Bernerd is listed as the interior designer. The design resembles a series of towers merged together allowing the residents optimal views of Biscayne Bay, Miami skyline, and the Atlantic Ocean
The development will rise 17 stories and feature 83 total units, with 10 of those units labeled as ‘guest suites,’ which will only be available to purchase by unit owners.
