But Miami Beach is also a fast-growing and dynamic community that’s constantly evolving and reinventing itself. Thus, it’s not uncommon to witness new overtaking old on every block. Real estate news site Miami Curbed reported on the latest development in this regard – Beach House 8, which will replace the aging Ocean Grande: “The writing’s been on the wall for the Ocean Grande—one of the very last few unrestored art deco hotels in all of Miami Beach—for a while, despite the efforts of some to preserve and restore it and despite being located in a locally and nationally designated historic district.
Developers Ugo Columbo and Valerio Morabito are replacing the beachfront hotel with Beach House 8, an eight unit, eleven story (plus underground parking) mega-luxurious condo tower by fading-star architecture firm Arquitectonica with a design that, get this, is actually quite nice. Okay, the shifting white rectangular box look is nothing, and we mean nothing, cutting edge, but compare it to Arquitectonica’s also very recently designed Paraiso Bay and you have to wonder if they were really designed by the same firm.”
