Akoya Condominium

The Akoya Condominium is a 47-story high-rise in Miami Beach, Florida, completed in 2004. At 150 meters (about 490 feet) tall, it ranks among the city's tallest buildings and was one of the last very tall structures built before strict height restrictions took effect. Originally planned as White Diamond, the building took its name from the Japanese akoya pearl oyster after the original developer had to sell the project. It stands right on the Atlantic Ocean on Collins Avenue and offers residents modern amenities such as a fitness area, a tennis court, and a swimming pool.
