They say that Miami Beach is warmer in the winter than Holland, Mi. One thing is certain: This buyer shouldn’t have any trouble furnishing his condo at Eighty Seven Park.
Franco Bianchi, CEO of the Holland, Michigan-based furniture manufacturer Haworth, and his wife, Alessandra, purchased unit 504 at the condo tower in North Beach for $6.8 million, records show. The sale was first reported yesterday on TheRealDeal.com.
Eighty Seven Park, a 66-unit, 18-story oceanfront tower at 8701 Collins Avenue in Miami Beach, was completed in November. The luxury condo building was designed by architect Renzo Piano and developed by Terra, Bizzi & Partners, New Valley and Pacific Eagle.
