Studio 54 icon Ian Schrager’s Miami Beach penthouse lists for $7.5M
A luxury Miami Beach home owned by nightlife guru and former Studio 54 co-owner Ian Schrager, is now up for grabs for $7.5 million.
Listed by Toni Schrager of Brown Harris Stevens Miami, the property is aptly located in the hotelier’s Miami Beach Edition hotel, a project he embarked on in partnership with Marriott in 2014.
Schrager’s acquisition of the unit post the project’s completion in 2016 makes him the first and only occupant.
The condo boasts a turnkey interior featuring his signature aesthetic.
This makes it the ideal spot for entertaining guests or indulging in a classic night in.
The main selling point of this unit is its expansive rooftop terrace. Complete with a hot tub and an outdoor kitchen, this outdoor perch offers picturesque views of both the beach and the city, the listing notes.
It is currently the only listing in the building with a rooftop terrace.
Plus, there’s plenty of room for personal customization, as the space is large enough to accommodate additional features such as a sauna or cold plunge, according to the listing.
The new owner will also have full access to the Edition’s exclusive amenities, including the beach, dining, spa and nightlife facilities.
Besides its luxury and contemporary appeal, the property carries a piece of Ian Schrager’s personal history.
Made up of two bedrooms and four bathrooms, the home occupies a little more than 2,000 square feet.
Other building amenities include Jean-Georges restaurants, a gym, a valet, a concierge, and room and laundry services.

Miami Central students prepare for life changing trip to Zimbabwe amid funding challenges
A group of South Florida students is preparing to travel more than 8,000 miles to Zimbabwe next Wednesday, though organizers say reaching their fundraising goals has become increasingly difficult this year.
Ten students from Miami Central Senior High School are scheduled to spend 18 days in the country as part of the Blindfolded International Student Cultural Exchange Program (BISCEP). The initiative aims to provide students with cultural immersion and foster global relationships.
“I’m really excited but also a tad bit nervous,” said 11th grader Shonneice Ferris.
For student Samir Rios, the trip offers a chance to engage with a new community. “The most anticipated thing that I’m looking forward to is most likely the students and the kids,” Rios said.
During the 18-day excursion, students plan to attend local schools, volunteer at an orphanage, and visit sites including Victoria Falls. “The first week we’re going to be going to school in Zimbabwe,” Ferris said.
Despite the program’s history of successful trips, BISCEP founder Edwin Sheppard said fundraising efforts have stalled. Many longtime donors have reduced their contributions due to budget constraints.
“A lot of our donors, our past donors, have not been able to donate what they’ve donated in the past,” Sheppard said. “A lot of budget cuts, and so we’re still struggling to raise all of the funding.”
Organizers confirmed the trip will proceed as scheduled despite the financial hurdles.
“This is two different schools, two different sides of the world and two different continents, and I think we’re going to do something amazing out of this,” Rios said.
The students are scheduled to depart next Wednesday. Organizers continue to seek donations to cover the remaining costs. Those interested in supporting the Miami Central Senior High students can find more information at biscep.org.

Miami ‘At the Top’ for Star In-State 2028 Running Back
The contact period for 2028 recruits officially opened on June 15th, and Miami has been active on the recruiting trail.
Now more than ever, recruiting players early matters, with several committing before taking their official visits in their senior season.
Miami has been high on 2028 running back Terriel Harmon for a while, and he discussed the Hurricanes with Miami Hurricanes on SI.

The Hurricanes contacted Harmon almost immediately after the contact period opened and got down to business with him.
“The running backs coach (Coach Merritt) hit me up, and we just talked about the leadership I am going to bring to Miami and the environment of Miami,” Harmon said.
Even before the contact period opened up, Harmon already had a sense of what Miami was like.
“They bring the energy,” Harmon continued. “I love the players like Javian Mallory, Malachi Toney, and Mark Fletcher.”
Mallory is an incoming freshman running back at Miami, and he played high school ball at West Boca. Harmon just transferred to the South Florida power. The two of them have a great connection, and Mallory is recruiting Harmon to join him in college.
“He’s been telling me that Miami is the place to be and that it is great,” Harmon said.
Even though it’s still early in his recruitment, the Hurricanes are still in a prime position for the local three-star running back.
“I’m still not sure where I will go to school, but Miami is for sure at the top,” Harmon finished.
More About the 2028 Class
The 2028 class will be crucial for the future of Miami. Arguably, the two best prospects of the past few years, Amir Sears and Bryson Wright, are right in the Hurricanes’ backyard, and the two could change the course of Hurricanes football if they come.
Overall, the 2028 class in Florida might be one of the best in any state ever. There is so much talent throughout the state, and Miami is looking to get a class that rivals this 2027 class, which is the top three in the country per Rivals.
Some other in-state prospects that the Hurricanes are targeting include Gabriel Player (four-star linebacker), Asher Ghioto (four-star defensive lineman), Antonio Thompson Jr. (four-star defensive back), and George Selvie (four-star offensive lineman), amongst a ton of others.
While Harmon is only a three-star now, it would not be surprising if he becomes a four-star by the end of his senior season.
