Miami Beach rejects deal to extend luxury offices' lease on city land until 2132

Miami Beach voters rejected by a landslide a deal that would have allowed an ultra-luxury South Beach office building to extend its lease with the city into the next century. Nearly 63% of Miami Beach voters cast ballots Tuesday against the referendum, which would have given developer RK Rivani LLC the option to extend its lease for the city-owned land beneath the office building up to 40 additional years, or until 2132. It would have also cleared the way for $50 million worth of upgrades, including more office space, a restaurant and rooftop padel courts. The Rivani office building, where Playboy has its headquarters, is located at 1691 Michigan Ave., just off Lincoln Road. The current lease term, which will remain unchanged, runs through 2052, with the possibility of two 20-year extensions through 2092. A tangible outcome of the “no” vote is that it puts a halt to 47,000 square feet of new development — a hot-button topic among Miami Beach residents. The onsite parking will also remain at 700 spaces instead of being slashed to 475. Critics of the proposal said it was a sneaky deal with an unclear message about how it would positively benefit residents while adding
