Hotelier and developer Ian Schrager sold his penthouse at the Edition Miami Beach.
Schrager and his wife, Tania, listed the two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom unit for $7.5 million in February, and sold it last week for $7 million. Ashish Kumar, who lists a New York address, bought the 2,029-square-foot penthouse, property records show. Kumar goes by the name Michael Karp. He is CEO of Options Group, a global executive search and consulting company that has an office in Miami Beach.
Schrager partnered with Marriott International on the Edition brand. They developed the 24-unit condo and 294-key hotel at 2901 Collins Avenue on the site of the former Seville hotel. The Schragers paid $5.5 million for their penthouse in 2016, two years after the project was completed.
The unit just sold for $3,450 per square foot, marking the second most expensive per-square-foot sale in the building. It’s also the most expensive resale on a per-square-foot basis in the building. Brown Harris Stevens Miami agent Toni Schrager, Ian Schrager’s sister-in-law, and her daughter, Lauren Schrager, were the listing agents. Raul Santidrian with Douglas Elliman represented the buyer.
The penthouse includes a 1,000-square-foot rooftop terrace with an outdoor kitchen and Jacuzzi, according to the listing.
