Akoya Condominiums, Residential skyscraper in North Beach, Miami Beach, US.
Akoya Condominiums is a 47-story residential tower at 6365 Collins Avenue in Miami Beach, rising 150 meters. It has 528 units, 11 per floor, and its penthouses on the 45th floor span three levels up to the 48th. Five elevators serve the building, and a panoramic terrace is located on the 46th floor.
The tower was completed in 2004 after an initial concept known as White Diamond was sold to MerCo Group in 2001 by Brazilian businessman Múcio Athayde. This transaction led to the redesigned project that stands today.
The name "Akoya" comes from the Japanese word 阿古屋, meaning the Akoya pearl oyster. Developers chose it to replace the earlier diamond theme, so the tower is named for a pearl rather than a gemstone like its neighbours the Blue and Green Diamonds.
The building features five elevators and a two-story lobby entrance for efficient movement throughout the structure. Short-term rentals are permitted with a minimum 30-day stay and a maximum of 12 rental periods annually.
Akoya has more floors than the neighbouring Blue and Green Diamond towers but lacks their diamond-shaped roofs. Its name comes from the Japanese word for the Akoya pearl oyster, chosen to replace the diamond theme of the original White Diamond plan.
