262-Key Hotel Poised to Revitalize Washington and Collins Corridor Sustainable New Build and Historic Renovations “A Model For Future Developers and Large-Scale Projects in Miami”
Keyah Real Estate Group, a dynamic, rising hospitality developer with footprints in Miami and New York, is thrilled to unveil plans for a 262-key multi-structure boutique hotel, that is set to redefine the Miami Beach hospitality scene and become the city’s next hotel, wellness, and F&B destination. The project has just secured unanimous approvals from both the City of Miami Beach Planning Board and the Historic Preservation Board.
The project will transform the assemblage of Haddon Hall at 1500 Collins and new construction at 1509-1515 Washington Avenue. The development marks a crucial milestone for the area and the Keyah as they introduce themselves as formidable players in the hotel development industry.

Of the assemblage and plans, land use and zoning attorney Michael Larkin, Partner at Bercow, Radell, Fernandez, Larkin + Tapanes, notes, “Despite all of the complexities and challenges of assembling and integrating various historic sites in Miami Beach, the principals were able to create a masterful multi-use plan and design. The focus on quality and detail helped Keyah achieve unanimous consent from both PB and HPB, and should be seen as a model for future developers and large-scale projects in Miami,” he says. “The investment and beauty of this project will help pave the way for the future vision of the Washington and Collins corridor. ”
Serving the area’s enhanced hotel movement and evolving residential growth, the property will feature a refined rooftop pool and restaurant with sweeping ocean views, in addition to a ground-floor Garden Oasis Pool area and restaurant. The project will also boast an elevated restaurant concept led by a high-profile chef on the Washington Avenue side of the property, 6,500-plus-square-foot ballroom, event, and meeting spaces on Collins Avenue, along with a 10,000 square foot cutting-edge spa and wellness concept – each designed to stand as a destination in and of itself.
The esteemed architecture firm, Rottet Studio, has been tapped for the project. Rottet is globally recognized for the design of landmarks like the New York Stock Exchange and the Beverly Hills Hotel – and the hotel’s architecture will blend elements of Streamline Moderne, Spanish Mediterranean Regionalism, and Miami Modern (MiMo).
Xaver Kriechbaum, President of Keyah Real Estate Group, says, “Our mission with this project, like in all of our work, is to develop properties that seamlessly integrate with, and honor, the fabric of the cities and neighborhoods we serve. We aim to combine state-of-the-art architecture with a commitment to sustainability in both construction and operations, while consistently raising the bar for innovation and quality.”
The project is a joint venture between Keyah Real Estate Group and Grup Peralada, a family office based in Barcelona, and is slated for completion in 2028. The group will soon announce a leading hotel operator and flag.
