Rivani’s $50M Miami Beach office expansion with Playboy HQ heads to voters

Summary by The Miami Editorial Desk · Based on reporting by Eman Elshahawy, The Real Deal · July 22, 2026 · 1 min read

The fate of Robert Rivani‘s proposed $50 million rooftop expansion and 106-year lease extension for the Miami Beach office building that will house Playboy’s headquarters is in the hands of Miami Beach voters. Miami Beach commissioners approved the measure for The Rivani office building at 1691 Mich

Why this matters in The Miami

The proposed expansion of the Rivani office building in Miami Beach will not only bring a new headquarters for Playboy, but also raise questions about the city's approach to development and parking. With 250 parking spaces set to be removed, voters will need to consider the potential impact on traffic and congestion in the area. This is particularly relevant in Miami Beach, where parking is already a scarce commodity and traffic is a major concern for residents and visitors alike. The fact that the expansion is being put to a public vote also highlights the city's commitment to involving its citizens in the decision-making process, a key aspect of Miami Beach's governance. As voters head to the polls on November 3, they will be weighing the potential economic benefits of the expansion against the potential costs to the city's infrastructure and quality of life.
