Casa Casuarina
Casa Casuarina was built in 1930 and modeled after the Alcazar de Colon in Santo Domingo. Gianni Versace purchased the building in 1992 for $2.9 million. After receiving city approval he demolished the hotel next-door, and a two-story, 6,100-foot addition was built, transforming it into Versace's Miami Beach home.
Peter Loftin, a telecommunications billionaire, purchased the house from the Versace Estate in September 2000 for approximately $19 million and has since resided there from time to time. Today, Casa Casuarina has been transformed into a world class private club and hotel.
