The Bvlgari Hotel South Beach Case

Setai Resort & Residences Condo. Ass’n v. BHI Miami Ltd., No. 2021-36-AP, 2023 WL 4450343 (Fla. 11^th Cir. Ct. July 10, 2023)

We represented the City of Miami Beach as Special Outside Counsel to defend the City’s approval of the first ultra-luxury Bvlgari Hotel in North America.

A neighboring competitor unleashed a torrent of administrative and litigation challenges to the redevelopment and the City’s approval of it. 

The challenges involved complex questions of real property law, administrative law, historic preservation, and appellate practice. 

We successfully defended the City in all challenges. 

Our representation resulted in a published opinion – here’s the link.
