In early 2006, Mr. Pérez was awarded the Icon in Real Estate Award of Excellence at MIPIM in Cannes, France; the only American developer ever to have been honored with such a prestigious award. The Urban Land Institute honored Mr. Pérez with the Lifetime Achievement Award in September 2006 and he was named Hispanic Role Model of 2006 by the Miami Dade County’s Hispanic Affairs Advisory Board.
Mr. Pérez was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina to Cuban parents.  He graduated summa cum laude from C.W. Post College and earned a Masters Degree in Urban Planning, with highest honors, from the University of Michigan.

While The Related Group is best known for its luxury high-rise developments and visionary mixed-use urban centers, Mr. Pérez made his first impact on South Florida’s affordable housing market. He started out in the late 1970′s, building in neighborhoods such as Miami’s Little Havana and Homestead. Even then, his attention to detail and commitment to creating quality living environments distinguished him within the marketplace.
Mr. Pérez chairs the Miami-Dade Cultural Affairs Council and is a director of the Miami International Film Festival.

He is a member of the University of Miami’s Board of Trustees. The University’s new architecture center, Jorge M. Pérez Architecture Center, designed by Leon Krier made its debut in the fall of 2005.  Similarly, the Miami Wellness Center has been named after Mr. Pérez and his wife, Darlene.

He’s taken passion for the arts into his developments, bringing master artists like Jose Bedia into Related buildings, and creating the art wall on the Riverwalk featuring various works of art that are not only extensions of Related buildings, but also community landscapes.

The talents of Philippe Starck, David Rockwell, Karim Rashid, Carlos Ott, Yabu Pushelberg, Arquitectonica and many others have served as collaborators and inspirations behind Related properties.

• Beyond Mexico, Related International has plans to erect upscale condominiums and hotels in other tourist locations such as India, Brazil, Panama, Argentina, Uruguay and the Caribbean. Related is looking forward to bringing its style of development to these destinations by embracing their cultures and developing truly urban and resort landmarks that focus on the culture, history and natural beauty of the area. As is the case with our developments in the United States, Related International will partner with accomplished architects, designers, and artists to create residential developments built for the way people live today – with functional living spaces and exceptional amenities.

Upon completion, the owner receives a brand new unit that they have paid for at pre-construction prices.  The Company also offers financing to selective buyers at attractive rates.

Furthermore, growth in the condominium development division of Related Group continues to expand beyond the South Florida. Related International has amassed an impressive portfolio of oceanfront and urban sites in Mexico and the Caribbean. Moving forward, Related International is identifying new development opportunities in Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Panama, and Colombia.

Joining the ranks of major givers in Miami, developer Jorge Pérez has pledged to donate $35 million in cash and art from his personal collection to the new Miami Art Museum, which will bear his name when it opens in two years.

The donation includes $5 million that Pérez has already pledged and partially paid; an additional $15 million for the capital campaign and $15 million worth of Latin American art to be chosen by the museum.

“My reaction is stunned gratitude,” said museum director Thom Collins. “Stunned because this campaign was kicked off in a very, very rosy economy and this project was kicked off in a rosy economy.

This is not a very rosy economy.” The economic downturn has been difficult too for Pérez, whose Related Group became emblematic of the real estate boom and bust. The bust part of the cycle cost his company $1 billion, and Related was forced to negotiate deals with all of its lenders before emerging from the crash with plans to start building again.

“I’m very happy for him, given everything that he’s been through the last couple of years,” said Ricky Arriola, a member of the museum’s board. “He’s still standing. I think it’s got to be a great feeling for him to be in this position to be able to do this.”

The gift, to be paid in full over the next 10 years, brings the fundraising total to $167million for the museum’s new home next to Biscayne Bay, including $100 million in county bond money. The Herzog & de Meuron-designed structure, inspired by Miami’s Stiltsville, is set to open in late 2013.

When it does, it will be called the Jorge M. Pérez Art Museum of Miami-Dade County, or the Pérez Art Museum of Miami for short.

Pérez stayed silent on his gift Thursday, granting no interviews but releasing a joint statement with the museum.

“Miami Art Museum’s commitment to assembling one of the world’s leading collections of contemporary art reflects my own desire for Miami to continue to grow as an international cultural destination,” he said. “My hope is that the collection I am donating to the museum, along with the gift for the museum’s new building campaign, will enhance its role as a place where locals and visitors come together to experience an expansive collection of contemporary art, including our community’s finest works, and become educated in the global visual arts.”

Aaron Podhurst, chair of the museum’s board of trustees, said Pérez approached him in September about making the donation.

“I said, ‘Jorge, it’s got to be synonymous with other gifts in this community,’” Podhurst said in an interview Thursday. “I said, ‘You’ve got to do $35 million too.’ ”

A $35 million gift from billionaire entrepreneur Phillip Frost and his wife, Patricia, will see the Miami Science Museum renamed the Patricia and Phillip Frost Museum of Science when its new building opens in 2014. The couple also gave a $33 million naming gift to the Frost School of Music at the University of Miami in 2003 and a $2 million naming gift to the Frost Museum of Art at Florida International University in 2002.

In 2008, businesswoman and philanthropist Adrienne Arsht gave $30 million to the county’s performing arts center in 2008, now called the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County.
