UPDATED, Feb. 10, 9:50 a.m.: The developer of a planned Aman hotel and condo again secured approval from the Miami Beach Historic Preservation Board, after reducing the project’s height and making other modifications.
Billionaires Vlad Doronin and Len Blavatnik want to build the first Aman-branded development in South Florida at 3425 Collins Avenue, on a site that includes the historic Versailles building.
Doronin first sought approval for a height increase to 250 feet in July, a move that attracted significant opposition, including from the billionaire residents of the adjacent Faena House condo tower at 3315 Collins Avenue.
The latest plans garnered support on Tuesday from Faena House unit owners Thomas Stern and Paul Cejas, who previously opposed plans, as well as from Design District developer Craig Robins.
