Oppenheim Architecture Set to Transform Miami Beach Real Estate

By Alexandra Tarallo

Two awards of excellence were given to Oppenheim Architecture by the American Institute of Architects and designers as part of the 52nd Annual Miami Design Awards. Oppenheim was honored in the categories of architecture and unbuilt for the design of Park Avenue Townhouses and Cube in Miami Beach.

Chad Oppenheim’s firm has been focused on plans for the Design District and Uptown in Miami. Other developments by the architectural firm set to form part of the Miami skyline include Ice and Element.

Montclair Lofts is yet another of Oppenheim’s creations and features innovative design that faced the challenge of having to be built on two lots that where located on either side of a pre-war apartment building. The complex is located on prime real estate along Meridian Avenue just one block from Lincoln Road. Montclair Lofts real estate features New York-style lofts with impact glass throughout, 11 foot ceilings, and Italian cabinetry.

Oppenheim’s design features two structures that wraparound the historic building and form an open, central courtyard. An infinity pool with a tropical garden set atop the existing building is the heart of the complex where residents relax and socialize.

Oppenheim’s designs provide us only a few examples on how Miami Beach real estate will be slowly transformed to include an eclectic mix of historic and modern architectural styles.
