Miamis iconic Art Deco hotel finds new life…
The $1 billion transformation of the Raleigh Hotel on Miami Beach is useless — long live the Raleigh.
With Michael Shvo and the disgraced Alexander brother brokers (now on trial in New York for a sequence of alleged rapes) off the redevelopment of the Art Deco building at Collins Avenue and 18th Street, a new gross sales group for the stalled project has finally been announced.
Compass will relaunch gross sales for a redesigned complicated, which promised a Rosewood Hotel and the seashore’s priciest residences. Nahla Capital bought the positioning for $270 million last October.

Thankfully, Rosewood is still on board to model the residences and handle the hotel. New York-based Nahla, led by Genghis Hadi, beforehand developed Rosewood’s profitable 17-unit Rosewood Residences Beverly Hills.
“We are working closely with our partners to bring to life an exceptional experience across the hotel and residences,” a Rosewood spokeswoman said in an e mail.
Still, the transition from Shvo to Nahla hasn’t been clean. Starchitect Peter Marino had been tapped to redesign the complete three-acre website and new 17-story tower with 40 residences, but has since withdrawn from the project main to a new $10 million lawsuit. The architects of file, Miami’s Kobi Karp Architecture, are still concerned. They didn’t return requests for remark.
“Peter’s design is sophisticated and detailed,” an inside source told The Post. “You can’t do a half ass Peter Marino building — you are either all in or out.”

Nahla will also have to receive the blessing of Miami’s Historic Preservation Board for any new rental tower, any re-massing of the top or any landscaping at the 3-acre compound. The same goes for ground ground renovations to the Art Deco components at both the Raleigh and the 2 smaller resorts to the south, The Richmond and the South Seas, that have been to be integrated into the Raleigh grounds.
The new Compass Development Marketing Group group for the future tower contains: Miltiadis Kastanis, Pablo Alfaro, Ivan Chorney, Michael Martirena and Liz Hogan.
“The Raleigh is one of the most storied properties in Miami Beach, and its next chapter demands a team with the expertise and relationships to successfully sell a product of this caliber,” said Hadi. “We selected our brokerage partners based on their proven ability to operate at the highest level with global reach, discretion, and precision. This powerhouse team demonstrated that they understand not just the market, but the magnitude of what The Raleigh represents.”

The upcoming Nahla Raleigh iteration is still anticipated to embody around 60 swanky rooms and suites, plus lavish revamps of the Martini Bar and Tiger Room.
With around 215 ft of South Beach oceanfront, plans will still embrace a Raleigh Beach Club — a non-public members membership and elegant beachfront eating — both initially authorized when Tommy Hilfiger purchased the hotel in 2014, but scuttled after Hurricane Irma’s 2017 devastation.
Under Shvo, the non-public Beach Club was to be operated by Italy’s famed Langosteria. While one source said they’re no longer concerned, the eatery’s rep declined remark. But rating a win on Polymarket by betting Nahla will ink a deal with a world-class restaurateur.
As was deliberate by Shvo and Marino, the totally separate and new rental tower for the Rosewood Residences will seemingly embrace both an opulent fitness heart and a non-public entrance to Rosewood’s Asaya Spa that will also incorporate a beautiful Hammam and offer remedies, remedies and physique therapies.

Five non-public villas have been to rise behind the façade of the Art Deco Richmond Hotel with the South Seas property turned into a restaurant.
Along with renovating the beachfront swimming pools at the 2 smaller resorts, the Raleigh’s iconic and curvy fleur-de-lis-like pool — which appeared on the quilt of Life magazine, as properly as in motion pictures like “The Birdcage,” “Bad Boys” and “Up Close and Personal” — will also be restored.
Announced at the end of 2020, the initial Rosewood Residences have been to vary in measurement from just over 2,000 sq. ft to practically 8,000 sq. ft — all with at least 10-foot-high ceilings, demanded by Marino — with costs beginning around $10 million. The deliberate 13,000-square-foot roof home, with a non-public pool and an outside kitchen, was to ask $150 million. But gross sales where sluggish thanks to the high price, daring design and competitors from other new towers — not to point out the allegations swirling about its salesmen, Oren and Tal Alexander.
While Marino has his devoted followers, the next architect for the upcoming Rosewood Raleigh is probably going to create a design with broader appeal. But with so few particulars set in stone, Compass could have their work cut out for them.
“Our focus was on ensuring the ownership team had a partner capable of delivering not only results, but a vision aligned with The Raleigh’s global stature,” Compass broker Kastanis said. “For a property as iconic as The Raleigh, execution matters at every level.”
