I.The Opening

You did not build buildings. You built a cultural body of work.

For four decades, Related Group has done something that almost no developer in the world has done at the same scale. You turned a portfolio of residential towers into a cultural argument about a city. From the early condominium boom in Brickell to the Pérez Art Museum gift that gave Miami its first museum of international stature, the work has always been larger than its square footage.

The Atchugarry monolith at Paraiso. The drip mural at SLS. Casa Bella by B&B Italia. Armani Casa. Baccarat Residences Brickell. Six Fisher Island. Rivage Bal Harbour. Ritz Carlton West Palm Beach. The Crosby at Worldcenter. Nomad Wynwood. El Espacio 23. Each project is a brick in something larger, a forty year case for what Miami could become as a place where architecture, contemporary art, and residential life meet.

And yet, for all of that work, there is one cultural artifact Related has never published. Not a brochure. Not a sales book. Not an annual report. An editorial publication, a magazine, that documents the story at the register the work deserves and that lives, year after year, on the coffee table of every owner, broker, investor, curator, and journalist who walks through a Related sales gallery.

This document proposes that we build it together. A bound, photographed, written, designed, printed, and circulated cultural object. Numéro pilote in autumn 2026, anchored to Art Basel Miami Beach in December. A standing editorial program from there.

II.The Pérez House

One founder. Two sons. Forty years of Miami.

Related is not led by one person. It is led by a founder who reshaped the South Florida skyline across forty years, and two sons who are now stewarding the next chapter of that legacy. The magazine is authored by all three, because the story is authored by all three.

Founder & Chairman

Jorge M. Pérez

Founded Related Group, 1979. Forty-seven years building Miami.

You founded Related in 1979 with one principle: build for the city you want to live in. Forty-seven years, more than ninety thousand residences, and a billion-dollar cultural footprint later, the principle has not changed.

You built Miami's first museum of international stature with a $40M gift, renamed in your honor as PAMM. You opened El Espacio 23 in Allapattah as a private collection in public. You and Darlene gave Joan Mitchell's Iva to the Tate Modern in 2025, and endowed a curatorial post for African art at the same institution. You signed the Giving Pledge.

The press calls you the Condo King. The cultural institutions call you a patron. The city calls you the man who made Miami a place where architecture, art, and residential life share the same address.

President & CEO

Jon Paul Pérez

President 2022. CEO 2024. The next decade of Related.

You joined Related in 2012 at the bottom, as a junior developer in the rental business. You earned the Wynwood thesis on your own, against an executive team that wasn't initially convinced, and delivered Wynwood 25, the first residential project that helped kick-start a real estate boom in the neighborhood.

Named President in 2022, CEO since 2024, you now steer capital strategy across a $13 billion pipeline. Baccarat Brickell. Six Fisher Island. The Crosby at Worldcenter. Pompano Beach. Every market Related has entered in the last decade carries your fingerprint.

You sit on the boards of PAMM and the Pérez Art Museum, the National YoungArts Foundation, and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Miami. The cultural framing is not an afterthought. It is the inheritance, and you carry it.

President, Condominium Division

Nicholas Pérez

Joined 2017. President of Condominium 2022. $15B portfolio.

You run the condominium division, a $15 billion portfolio of more than twenty active developments. The towers most associated with Related's name in the public imagination are now your responsibility.

Baccarat Residences Brickell. The 75-story, 360-unit waterfront tower that produced the largest concrete pour in Related's 45-year history. Six Fisher Island Residences. Fifty homes on the wealthiest zip code in America. St. Regis Brickell. Casa Bella by B&B Italia. Rivage Bal Harbour. Each one a benchmark for what an ultra-luxury Miami residence is now expected to be.

The condo division has logged over $3 billion in sales in the last two years, with $600 million from international buyers. You are the operator turning the family vision into the buildings the city sees.

III.Why Now

A confluence of moment, portfolio, and legacy.

01

The Art Basel window.

A spring 2026 commitment opens a clear seven month editorial runway to a December launch. The numéro pilote arrives the week the world's collectors, curators, and luxury press are physically in Miami, already inside Related lobbies, already photographing the art. The publication does not chase that moment. It anchors it.

02

A portfolio at full crest.

1,500 units delivering between October 2025 and March 2026. Baccarat Brickell at 88 percent sold. Six Fisher Island at $4,000 per square foot. Casa Bella, St. Regis, Rivage, Icon Beach, Ritz Carlton West Palm. The pipeline is no longer per project, it is portfolio scale. The editorial unit has to match.

03

The Pérez legacy chapter.

The Tate Modern donation in April 2025. El Espacio 23 in Allapattah. The PAMM endowment past $60 million. The next decade of Related is not just a development story, it is a museum building, collection defining cultural legacy. That story belongs in print, told once and properly, before it is told for you.

IV.Positioning

An editorial product, not marketing collateral.

The magazine sits alongside Related's existing marketing the way Le Monde d'Hermès sits alongside Hermès retail, or The Fabulist sits alongside Aesop. Additive. Cultural. Editorially independent in voice, even as it is wholly devoted to the work.

What the magazine is

  • An annual cultural publication, published under the Related masthead.
  • Long form editorial: profiles, criticism, and commissioned photography.
  • A bound, printed, collectible artifact, designed to live on a shelf.
  • A magazine of architecture, art, and the people behind both.
  • A gift placed inside every sales gallery, residence, and presentation suite.
  • A voice that travels with the buildings into the cultural conversation.
V.The Magazine

Six permanent editorial pillars.

The magazine takes the name of the house. RELATED becomes the masthead itself. Six recurring editorial pillars give every issue, year after year, the same six anchors: one flagship building, one critical essay on Miami architecture, one founder portrait, one art feature, one neighborhood, one design partner. The structure is permanent. The content rotates with the work.

i.

The Address

Flagship Building Feature

Each issue opens with one Related development, photographed to architectural-monograph standard. Baccarat Brickell. Six Fisher Island. Casa Bella. St. Regis. Rivage. Not a sales editorial, but architecture, structural decisions, finish palettes, and the thinking behind every choice. The anchor of every volume.

ii.

The Skyline

Miami Architecture & Criticism

The editorial heart of every issue: Miami's architectural moment, written from inside the house that has shaped it for forty years. Brickell as financial-district vertical city. Bal Harbour and the new oceanfront. Wynwood after the boom. One magazine fluent in the vernacular of a city reinventing itself in real time.

iii.

The Portrait

Founders, Architects, Residents

Long-form conversations. Jorge on the forty-seven-year arc and the next collection. Jon Paul on the next decade of capital strategy. Nick on the ultra-luxury condo at portfolio scale. Plus architects, designers, and the residents who actually live inside the buildings. Real voices, recorded at length.

iv.

The Collection

Art Inside the Buildings

The Atchugarry monolith. The drip mural at SLS. Frank Stella at Brickell. Plensa, Botero, Burgos. El Espacio 23. The PAMM gift. The Tate donation. Related's lobbies are curated rooms, and the Pérez collection is a private museum. The magazine is the only place those rooms are read together as a single body of work.

v.

The City

Neighborhoods & Urbanism

Related has shaped neighborhoods before they were neighborhoods. Brickell. Wynwood. Pompano. West Palm. The Worldcenter. Each issue spotlights one Miami neighborhood, its history, present value, and next decade, written from the firm that helped build it.

vi.

The Partners

Architects, Designers, Brands

Philippe Starck. Rem Koolhaas. SOM. B&B Italia. Armani Casa. Yabu Pushelberg. Meyer Davis. Baccarat. Ritz Carlton. Casa Tua. The roster of names Related has worked with is, on its own, an editorial canon. Each issue features one collaboration in depth.

VI.Numéro Pilote

Sommaire, the proposed structure for Volume 01.

A single 168 page issue. Twelve named features. Photographed and written at the level of Apartamento, T Magazine, and Cabana, but tailored to Related's voice, projects, and cultural relationships.

§ 06, Cover Story · Architecture

Where French crystal meets the Miami skyline.

Founded in Lorraine in 1764, Baccarat is a house that has spent two hundred and sixty years cutting light. In 2028, in Brickell, it will deliver its first residential tower, an architectural translation of one of Europe's oldest artisan legacies, now rising vertically over the Miami River.

The largest concrete pour in Related Group's history took place on a Saturday in August 2024. Six hundred trucks. Twelve thousand cubic yards. A foundation slab set into a four-acre site at 444 Brickell Avenue, precisely where the river meets the bay.

It was, in the most literal sense, the moment the building became real. It was also the moment a 260-year-old French crystal house entered its longest and most ambitious residential undertaking.

For centuries, Baccarat has shaped light into form: chandeliers for Tsar Nicholas I, decanters for the Élysée Palace, the trophy awarded at the Indianapolis 500. The Brickell tower marks its first architectural expression in the United States.

Seventy-five stories. Three hundred and sixty residences. An eight-foot terrace in every unit. The lobby, designed by Meyer Davis, will quietly house one of the largest Baccarat crystal installations in the world, outside its historic Place des Vosges flagship in Paris.

What Related has created here is something more deliberate than a branded residence. It is the pairing of heritage and authorship: one of Europe's most enduring luxury houses, alongside Arquitectonica, one of America's most distinct architectural voices, brought together to produce a single object worthy of both.

The early signal is decisive. With eighty-eight percent of the building already sold, the market has answered.

VIII.Distribution

Where the right readers find it.

Print is only the beginning. The magazine reaches its readers through eight curated channels, each chosen because it is where Related's actual buyers, brokers, partners, and cultural peers already pass through.

Related Sales Galleries & Presentation Suites
Placed in every active Related sales gallery: Baccarat Brickell, Six Fisher Island, St. Regis Brickell, Casa Bella, Rivage Bal Harbour, Ritz Carlton West Palm Beach, Icon Beach Hollywood. Bound copies on every coffee table inside the closing room. The highest-intent distribution point Related has ever had.
Art Basel Miami Beach, Opening Week
Hand distribution at the fair, partner hotels, and museum lounges throughout the opening week of Art Basel Miami Beach: PAMM, the Bass, ICA Miami, the Rubell Museum, the Faena Forum, El Espacio 23. Where the global art-and-architecture conversation physically happens, every December.
Five Star Hotels & Private Aviation
Placed at the Four Seasons Miami, The Setai, The St. Regis Bal Harbour, the Faena, the Edition, Mandarin Oriental, the Acqualina. Distributed through Miami Executive Airport, Opa-locka, NetJets and Flexjet partner lounges. Where Related's actual international and domestic buyers already pass through, at eye level, in print.
International Press & Cultural Distribution
Embargoed copies to Wallpaper, Architectural Digest, T Magazine, Cabana, Apartamento, Robb Report, Monocle, The World of Interiors. Plus a curated list of curators and critics across PAMM, ICA, the Tate, the Whitney, MoMA, and the Pompidou. The publication enters the cultural conversation as a peer, not a vendor.
Direct Mail, the Owner & Buyer List
Hand-addressed delivery to Related's CRM: owners across the firm's 100+ active and completed projects, active leads at every sales gallery, brokerage partners (Douglas Elliman, ONE Sotheby's, Compass, Cervera), and the international-buyer contacts in São Paulo, Buenos Aires, Bogotá, Mexico City, and New York.
Digital Edition & Editorial Microsite
Premium interactive flip-book on a dedicated related.magazine microsite, with embedded video and audio interviews. Editorial content drip-fed across Related's owned channels for three months following launch. One issue feeds a full quarter of brand content, a marketing multiplier no campaign can match.
Launch Event, the Opening of Art Basel
A single Related-hosted launch event the opening week of Art Basel: a private dinner inside El Espacio 23 or a flagship sales gallery, attended by collectors, curators, brokerage leadership, and the architectural press. The magazine becomes the reason for the event. The event becomes the editorial centerpiece of the season.
Architecture & Design Community
Distributed through the firms, studios, and cultural institutions that define the Miami design conversation: Arquitectonica, SOM, Kobi Karp, Oppenheim, the Design District showrooms (B&B Italia, Armani Casa, Poltrona Frau), and the AIA Miami chapter. The editorial voice the design community has been waiting for.
IX.Joint Editor's Letter

What Volume One says.

Volume 01, Autumn 2026

In 1979, I founded this company with a single idea: build the kind of city you want your children to grow up in. Forty-seven years and ninety thousand residences later, that idea has only become more literal. My sons, Jon Paul and Nick, now run the firm. The buildings on these pages are the inheritance they are stewarding into the next decade. This magazine is the permanent record of what Related has built, what it is building, and what it intends to build next, told properly, photographed seriously, and circulated to the people who care about both architecture and the city it adds up to. Welcome to Volume One.

XI.Investment

A complete first issue, delivered to press.

Investment Context
The rate below reflects below-market pricing for a luxury cultural publication of this caliber. Comparable editorial studios in the United States typically charge $120,000 to $180,000 for a full-service pilot magazine of this scope. More importantly: a single full page editorial advertisement in RELATED, positioned in front of the right buyer, commands $8,000 to $18,000. As few as 10 brand partners are required to fully recover the editorial investment, making the numéro pilote not a cost line but a self-liquidating cultural asset from the very first volume.
The Numéro Pilote Investment

Scope Note
Advertising sales, media kit creation, and commercial partnerships are not part of this scope. These are managed by Related's in-house marketing team or a dedicated media sales representative appointed by the firm. We deliver the editorial and design product to the highest international standard. Related Group owns its commercial infrastructure, exactly as it already does for every other channel.
A Note on the Studio

In a world built for scale, we were built for something else.

The Timeless Concept was founded on a single conviction: true editorial excellence cannot be mass-produced. It has to be authored, one publication, one brand, one client at a time, by people who still believe the work is worth doing properly.

Why we are different.

Most creative agencies are built to grow, to add seats, fill pipelines, and turn editorial into a production line. We are not. The Timeless Concept is deliberately a small studio, structured to work on a handful of projects at a time, each one chosen because it deserves the full weight of our attention.

For a house like Related, a firm that has spent forty seven years refusing to cut corners on its buildings, the logic is the same one you apply every day on your sites. You cannot mass-produce a Related residence. You cannot mass-produce a Related magazine either.

The studio is the work of Laine de Abreu, personally. Every strategic choice, every headline, every layout decision, every photographic brief is made by the same hand that signs the proposal. The client talks to the author.

The savoir-faire we bring.

The studio's reach is intentionally international. We have lived and worked across multiple cultures, in several languages, and we bring that fluency into every project we take on. For a Miami publication that speaks simultaneously to South Florida, Latin America, and the global luxury market, that cross-cultural ear is not a bonus. It is the entire editorial instrument.

We understand why a European reader opens a magazine differently from an American one, and how to make a single publication work for both. We have worked with private luxury houses and cultural institutions that each demanded a slightly different voice, and we have learned to hold the discipline of all of them at once.

Related is exactly the kind of project the studio was built for: a legacy client, a cultural moment, and the room to do it right.

i.
Intention
Every page is a deliberate choice. No filler, no padding, no recycled ideas. If a section does not earn its place, it does not make the volume.
ii.
Craft
Typography, grid, line spacing, photographic direction. The invisible architecture of a publication, treated with the same discipline Related brings to a specification sheet.
iii.
Voice
We write. We do not generate. Every word is authored, edited, and defended. The magazine reads like it was made by people, because it was.
iv.
Savoir-Faire
Multiple languages, multiple cultures, a single editorial sensibility. The cross-cultural ear that a Miami based, Latin facing, internationally distributed magazine requires.
A Personal Note
The Timeless Concept was born as a space dedicated to creating exceptional projects that bring depth, context, and beauty to the people who read them. Every publication is an invitation to slow down, to appreciate the artistry of design, and to immerse oneself in something truly meaningful. A house like Related, forty seven years of discipline, ninety thousand homes, a founder and two sons who still sign every decision, deserves a publication that is made the same way it builds: with intention, by hand, and to last.
Laine de Abreu
Founder · The Timeless Concept
XIII.The Closing Argument

The buildings are already collectible. The publication makes them cultural.

What Hermès understood, and what Aesop understood after them, is that there is a particular kind of brand that is not built by advertising. It is built by being written about, photographed seriously, and bound into objects that survive on the shelves of the people who matter. Related's work has earned that level of attention. It has not yet, fully, organized that attention into a single artifact.

The numéro pilote is that artifact. It is the magazine that the Atchugarry installation, the SLS mural, the Casa Bella interiors, the Baccarat tower, El Espacio 23, and the PAMM gift have always implied, but that no one has yet sat down and made.

We propose to make it. With Related as publisher and cultural authority. With The Timeless Concept as editorial production house. With Art Basel December 2026 as the launch. And with the next decade of Related's work as its standing subject.

“The one thing missing is the editorial artifact that lives on the coffee table of every owner, broker, and investor, and that travels with your buildings into the cultural conversation around Art Basel.”

We would be honored to walk you through this proposal in person, share the numéro pilote in greater detail, and discuss how Volume 01 can be tailored to Related's voice, projects, and editorial preferences.
