Whether The Perigon suits a family with young children turns on four things: whether the plans have the bedrooms, which shared rooms children may use and at what ages, how a caregiver comes and goes, and which schools the address leads to. The developer sets the first, the rules set the next two, and the address sets the last. Here is what to read for each.
This page is a framework. Whether the building suits you is a separate conversation. Contact the desk at Miami Dossier for the current position on any building we cover.
A family should look at a building through its plans before its pool. Count the bedrooms that are truly bedrooms, with a window and a closet, and ask which lines put a room for a live-in caregiver near the children’s rooms. Look at where the kitchen and the terrace sit: a terrace off the living room is easy to watch, one off the primary suite is not. Ask the railing height and the glass on the terraces, and whether the rules allow window guards and other childproofing to be fitted.
The homes at The Perigon, as the developer publishes them: ~73 homes · 2 to 4 bedrooms · private elevator entry to each residence. Inside them: The homes are as the dossier records. The design team: OMA, the Office for Metropolitan Architecture.
The Perigon dossier holds the developer’s published record. Read it against the Kempinski Residences Miami Design District dossier for the nearest comparison.
Most new towers publish a long list of shared spaces and very few rules about who may use them. The rules arrive later, drafted by the developer and changed by the board. Typical ones set a minimum age for the gym and the spa, require an adult with children at the pool, and give a playroom its hours and a supervision rule. In Florida a condominium pool is usually regulated by the state as a public pool, and most have no lifeguard. Rules that treat children differently also meet federal and Florida fair housing law, which protects households with children; counsel can say where a given age rule stands.
What the developer lists for the owners of The Perigon: Resident only oceanfront restaurant and speakeasy, breakfast room, sunrise lounge, wine room, screening room, billiards, children's lounge, spa with treatment rooms, salon, oceanfront training room, beachfront pool with cabanas. Ask which of these children may use, at what ages, and with whom.
A nanny or a caregiver is a daily visitor the front desk has to know by name. Ask how the building registers household staff, whether a caregiver may take children to the pool or the playroom without a parent, whether a caregiver may sign for deliveries and let vendors in, and what changes at the desk when the parents are travelling. Some buildings ask an owner to sign a release before children or staff use certain rooms. Read what it covers and what it leaves out, with counsel.
The operator behind the front desk at The Perigon, where there is one: No brand or operator is recorded for this building. The developer who writes the first rules: Starwood Capital Group · Mast Capital.
The public school a home is zoned for follows its address, and boundaries can change; the school district’s own boundary search is the place to confirm it. Many private schools admit for the following August on calendars that close in the winter, so a family moving for a school year often settles the school first and the building second. Where The Perigon stands: 5333 Collins Avenue, between the Atlantic and Biscayne Bay · ~200 linear feet of shoreline on both sides.
A building of second homes is quiet most of the year and has few other children in it. A building with more full-time families is louder in pool hours and has more friends on the same floor. The bedroom mix tells you which one you are buying into. The desk reads the draft amenity rules and the plans by line for The Perigon with you, beside two neighbours, before you choose.
A family friendly building is one whose rules say so. Read the rules before the playroom.
