The Related Group celebrated last week with not one, but two major groundbreakings. One for Brickell Heights and and the other for Paraiso Bay, which had designer Karim Rashid, Chef Michael Schwartz and Related’s Carlos Rosso all present. The Paraiso Bay property is East Edgewater’s only master planned community. Celebs like David Guetta and basketball star Manu Ginobili have already reserved homes in the community.
