BY J U L I A N S T E R L I N G Luxury real estate is no longer defined solely by square footage, skyline views, or a prestigious address. Today's most discerning buyers seek something deeper: a fully realized lifestyle shaped by design, service, and the confidence of world-class brands they trust. At the forefront of this evolution stands Related Group, the visionary developer that transformed Miami into a global luxury capital and continues to redefine residential living across the U.S. and beyond. Founded in 1979 by Jorge M. Pérez, Related Group has evolved from its roots in affordable housing into one of the most influential real estate development firms in the world. Nearly 45 years later, the privately held company has built, rehabilitated, or manages more than 120,000 residential and commercial units, with over 90 active developments spanning luxury condominiums, market-rate rentals, mixed-use destinations, and international projects throughout the U.S. and Latin America. Pérez earned the title "e Condo King" in the early 2000s, when his iconic high-rise developments helped transform Miami Beach into one of the world's most coveted luxury destinations. Today, under the continued leadership of Pérez and his sons Jon Paul and Nick, Related Group is developing more than 27 luxury condominium projects across South Florida, Tampa Bay, West Palm Beach, Jacksonville, Austin, Atlanta, and key international markets. Each reflects the firm's guiding philosophy: elevating quality of life through thoughtful design, exceptional partnerships, and future-forward vision. Central to that vision is Related's mastery of branded residences. While branded living has surged globally, few developers execute it with the precision and longevity that Related Group delivers. Collaborations with St. Regis, Ritz-Carlton, Baccarat, Rosewood, Waldorf Astoria, W Hotels, Auberge Resorts Collection, Armani/Casa, and B&B Italia are immersive extensions of each brand's DNA, offering residents the privacy of home paired with the service standards and cultural cachet of a five-star brand. at approach comes to life across a portfolio of standout second-home residences shaping the market in 2026, from design-driven Andare Residences by Pininfarina to landmark coastal addresses redefining luxury living. With an unmatched pipeline and a legacy of transforming cities, Related Group is not simply responding to that future—it is defining it.
