A New York psychiatrist and his wife scooped up a prime retail parcel just off Alton Road in Miami Beach.

Norton and Roslyn Nesis paid $22.5 million for the Gateway to Miami Beach, an 18,136-square-foot plaza constructed in 1996 with modern architecture and a liberal mixed-used commercial zoning designation for development up to 70 feet in height. Its two buildings house national tenants Pier 1 Imports and Burger King Corp.
