The Related Group plans to move its headquarters to Coconut Grove once it completes construction on an office building.

The Miami-based company led by billionaire Jorge Pérez is South Florida’s largest condo developer and also build apartments, affordable housing, and mixed-use projects. It’s currently based in the office component of the mixed-use building at 315 S. Biscayne Blvd. in downtown Miami. It also has employees in the office building at 444 Brickell Ave., which the Related Group plans to eventually redevelop.

Amanda Hertzler, executive managing director and director of design at MKDA in Miami, said the interior design will be a modern take on historic Coconut Grove. The lobby will have coffered ceilings. There will be textured limestone resembling Coral Rock in the elevator lobby. Each floor will have open terraces, and most of them will have trees planted. There will be a central atrium for the top two floors, she added.

“Developers recognize that exterior space is part of the amenities for an office building,” Hertzler said.
