Miami Beach · Building profile
A boomerang plan and glass facade on Normandy Isle
King Cole’s architecture is documented in original research by the Society of Architectural Historians. The concrete building bends around the waterfront in a boomerang plan, with a curved center joining two straight wings. Its glass facade and exposed floor slabs emphasize horizontal lines, while the waterside landscape sits above parking. The study credits Melvin Grossman with Fridstein and Fitch and records a 1974 condominium conversion after an earlier apartment and hospitality period. Buyers should distinguish that history from today’s ownership, rental and boating arrangements.
