Battling the Humidity: How to Protect Your Luxury Home from Mold and Mildew in Florida’s Tropical Climate
In South Florida, mold prevention is less about reacting and more about quietly managing moisture every day.

For South Florida’s oceanfront buyers, flood risk is less about alarm and more about precision.

A refined final walk-through is less about “finding flaws” and more about confirming the residence you contracted for is the residence you are taking title to.

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.
