The Perigon Miami Beach: OMA’s Oceanfront Condominium Vision on Collins Avenue
On Miami Beach’s storied Collins Avenue, The Perigon is positioning itself as a new kind of oceanfront address: architecture-forward, privacy-led, and intentionally resident-centric. Planned for 5333 Collins Avenue in the Mid-Beach corridor often called Millionaires’ Row, the 17-story, 73-residence tower brings together Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) with interiors by Tara Bernerd & Partners and landscape architecture by Gustafson Porter + Bowman. With dual-water frontage between the Atlantic Ocean and Indian Creek, and an amenity program that emphasizes private hospitality, The Perigon reflects where today’s ultra-prime buyer is headed: fewer residences, more discretion, and design that reads as a long-term asset, not a trend.
