The City invested $10 million in incentives, while Peebles secured control of the adjacent Shorecrest Hotel to assemble the full development site. Designed by Arquitectonica, the redevelopment preserved key historic elements, meticulously recreated the original historic structures (which were structurally unsound), and introduced two new 17-story towers plus a three-story lanai suite complex—resulting in a 252-room, 350,000 SF oceanside resort. It became Miami Beach’s first major African-American–owned hotel and was awarded “Hotel of the Year” within its franchise. While the project navigated significant challenges— including structural surprises and political scrutiny— the Peebles team demonstrated resilience and deep public-sector collaboration. The resort opened in 1999 following complex financial negotiations including construction loans, a city-backed loan, and eventual long-term financing by GMAC. The Royal Palm PPP showcased Peebles’ ability to execute large-scale, design-sensitive, civic-oriented projects under demanding constraints—making it a direct precedent for the proposed approach to redeveloping the Byron Carlyle site in partnership with the City of Miami Beach. 13 Comparable Projects The Peebles CorporationLegacy Real Estate Development The Royal Palm In the mid-1990s, the City of Miami Beach entered into a landmark public-private partnership (PPP) with The Peebles Corporation to redevelop the dilapidated, city-acquired Royal Palm Hotel into the Royal Palm Crowne Plaza Resort.

The proposal reimagines the long-vacant Barclay Plaza Hotel—a contributing structure in the Museum Historic District—into a 105-unit mixed-income residential building that blends historic preservation, urban revitalization, and affordability. Legacy’s updated plan includes the adaptive reuse or reconstruction of historic façades, integration with the surrounding cultural district, and a unit mix that balances market-rate rentals with a reserved tranche of senior-affordable units for Housing Choice Voucher recipients earning below 80% AMI. The project fulfills critical municipal goals by restoring architectural heritage, adding much-needed rental housing stock, and relieving the City of costly site maintenance—all without requesting City subsidy. The Barclay exemplifies Legacy’s ability to navigate complex public-private partnerships, historic contexts, and long-term land lease structures to deliver context-sensitive, community-serving development—making it a strong comparable to the Byron Carlyle initiative.
