The Cipriani Ocean Resort and Club Residences in South Beach, the snooty-chic 209-room beach resort and private condo development, seems to still be on track for completion in mid-2009. The 24-month construction project (which involves the restoration and revamp of the old Saxony property) will feature crazy Miami city...
