Miami Beach's Art Deco District Gets a Billion-Dollar Makeover

Miami Beach's famous Art Deco district is undergoing a major transformation, with billions of dollars being poured into restoring historic buildings and creating a luxurious new destination.

Luxury Returns to South Beach

Real estate developer Michael Shvo is leading the charge, acquiring and renovating several iconic properties, including The Raleigh, The Alton, and One Soundscape Park. Shvo's vision is to create a "Billionaire's Beach" while preserving the area's distinctive Art Deco character.

Restoring Art Deco Gems

A key aspect of the project involves meticulously restoring the buildings to their original 1940s designs. Shvo emphasizes removing any inappropriate additions made over the years and faithfully recreating the original architectural details. This includes the Raleigh Hotel, a historic landmark that once hosted celebrities like Audrey Hepburn.

A Destination for the Discerning

Shvo expects the revitalized district to attract wealthy residents and visitors seeking the ultimate in luxury and service. Residence sales at The Raleigh reportedly started at $10 million, targeting a very exclusive clientele.

Miami Beach's Rise as a Global City

Shvo believes Miami Beach has reached a tipping point, evolving into a major destination rivaling New York City, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. He anticipates a broader transformation of the area, with less desirable hotels being upgraded and the district becoming a hub for both luxury living and working.

Shvo's ambitious project aims to set a new standard for Miami Beach, solidifying its position as a dazzling Florida crown jewel.  Shvo hopes his project will inspire other developers to raise the bar for Miami Beach, ultimately solidifying its position as a premier Florida destination.
