Groundbreaking Announced for Waldorf Astoria Residences Miami
The Waldorf Astoria Residences Miami, which will be the highest residential structure south of New York City, is scheduled to break ground on October 27th, 2022.
The groundbreaking for the 100-story collection of 9 glass boxes in downtown Miami, is the result of an alliance between the New York and Miami-based developer PMG, the Toronto-based private equity firm Greybrook Realty Partners, and the international hospitality giant Hilton.

The third cube, which is located towards the base of the tower, rotates in response to the pool deck, while the second cube, which is placed further to the east, forms an outdoor dining area for an expensive restaurant. The first cube rotates upward at street level to welcome locals and guests while supporting the entire tower.
Peacock Alley, a specialty restaurant, indoor/outdoor pre-function and event spaces, conference and boardrooms, a resort-style pool deck with private cabanas, a spa, and a fitness facility will all be considered signature areas.
Residences will feature the newest smart home technology with access to concierge services through a personalized mobile app. The app will have a comprehensive list of services, including the ability to make reservations for meals, 24-hour room service, spa and fitness services, house cars, access to valet service, package delivery, and dog walking.

The tower is expected to be finished in 2025.

North Bay Village Approves 7.3 Million Square Foot Development Project Featuring 1,936 Residential Units
Sunbeam Properties, the proprietor of WSVN Channel 7, has a 7.3 million square foot redevelopment plan that has officially been approved by the North Bay Village Council. The special area plan for a 12.9-acre site covering 1400, 1401, 1415, 1600, and 1601 79th Street Causeway, as well as 155 and 1624 North Bay Causeway, was approved by the Village Council on a 3-2 vote early on Wednesday.
A 300-room hotel, 1,936 residential units, 200,000 square feet of office space, 670,000 square feet of retail space, 117 units of workforce housing, and around 5,000 parking spots are all included in the development plan. Additionally, there would be 84,366 square feet of public space, including a half-mile pedestrian walkway known as the “island walk” that would be surrounded by restaurants and stores. A marina would also be a part of the project.
The project’s highest structure would be 650 feet tall. To lessen the number of shadows cast upon the smaller dwellings, the structures closer to single-family homes would be smaller. Buildings north of the project would be taller and would rise 240 feet in height south of the causeway.
The offices and studios of WSVN will eventually be relocated as part of the construction. WSVN and Sunbeam Properties are owned by the multibillionaire Ansin family.
The project’s first phase, according to Ansin, would be built south of the causeway and will have 500 to 600 apartments spread across two buildings, along with a restaurant, grocery store, and other retail space that may house an urgent care facility or a daycare. Sunbeam Properties must apply for building permits for the first phase within two years in accordance with its development agreement with the village. The first renters, according to Ansin, should move in within five years.
As the Ansin family celebrates the 60th anniversary of running WSVN in North Bay Village, CEO Andy Ansin admitted that this was an emotionally charged decision for him. He has visited that studio ever since he was a youngster.
Although Ansin said the initial concept wasn’t for redevelopment, Sunbeam Properties over time purchased surrounding lands. According to Ansin, the first purchase was made to stop a strip club from being built next door. It bought a nearby office complex so the TV station would have more parking.
Ansin discovered North Bay Village had potential after having experts from the University of Miami School of Architecture do research on future renovation. However, it necessitated moving the TV studio.
Ansin stated that he is still looking for a new studio for WSVN. He emphasized that it would require plenty of parking, hurricane-resistant construction, and backup power generation.
PlusUrbana, a firm based in Miami, is the project’s architect. Attorney Ian DeMello, who is headquartered in Miami, is the developer’s representative.

The Constellation Group and Boschetti Group Propose a 15 Story Luxury Tower in Coral Gables
A 15-story, mixed-use luxury rental property is now being proposed by the Constellation Group and the Boschetti Group in Coral Gables, located at 4241 Aurora Street.
The proposals will be reviewed by the city’s development review board on Friday, according to Constellation Group Principal Eduardo Otaola. Approximately 70 apartments, 20,000 square feet of office space, 10,000 square feet of retail space, and a 5,000 square foot park would be present at the development site.
The location, which takes up an entire city block, is located west of Ponce de Leon Boulevard and immediately north of the Nordstrom shop at Brookfield Properties’ Merrick Park mall.
The project’s architects are listed as Bernardo Fort-Brescia and Raymond Fort of Arquitectonica, who were chosen by the Miami-based Constellation and Coral Gables-based Boschetti. According to Otaola, the design is the Mediterranean with an “innovation” twist because the location is located within the city’s Design and Innovation Overlay District. The building’s creators are aiming for a Mediterranean-inspired addition.
According to Otaola, they met with the neighborhood to obtain input on the designs and are proposing the taller building in exchange for the park.
According to the developers’ proposal, Constellation and Boschetti are requesting a transfer of development rights at the meeting on Friday that will add 26,000 square feet to the floor area ratio and offer remote parking for around 60 of the 200 required parking places. The developers are being defended by Greenberg Traurig’s lawyer Jorge Navarro.
At 4225 Ponce de Leon Boulevard, an adjacent office and retail complex is also being built by Constellation and Boschetti. It’s anticipated that construction will begin then.
Constellation is expected to close on its share of the property at 4241 Aurora early next year. Property records show Brookfield Properties sold the 0.7-acre site to a Boschetti affiliate in January for $6.1 million.
After going before the development review committee, Otaola said the project will be heard by the Coral Gables Board of Architects. He intends to break ground by the second or third quarter of next year.
Just east of Merrick Park and south of Bird Road in Miami, a number of apartment complexes have already been completed or are in the planning stages. The Watermark at Coral Gables on LeJeune Road and Belmont Village Senior Living next to the Collection dealership are two other high-end senior living projects that developers are currently working on to the north and south of the mall.
According to public records, Boschetti also owns a site close to the Watermark project.
The LifeTime-branded mixed-use multifamily development at 237 South Dixie Highway in Coral Gables was purchased by Hines for $430 million in August.

The proposed condo site, which is the last developable parcel on the 216-acre island, was just purchased for $122.6 million by Related Group, billionaire tycoon Teddy Sagi, BH Group, and Wanxiang America RE Group.
When the unnamed property is finished, units will cost about $30 million, while penthouses will cost more than $60 million.

Co-Owner of E11even Nightclub and Partner at Titan Capital Acquired Land at Miami Worldcenter
For $30 million, Lynd Living acquired a Miami Worldcenter development site from a business run by Marc Roberts, co-owner of the E11even nightclub, and Ira Saferstein, a partner at Titan Capital.
The $4 billion master-planned mixed-use project spanning 27 acres in the Park West neighborhood of downtown Miami has added the San Antonio-based company as the newest multifamily developer to the group of apartment builders.
According to public documents, a Lynd associate purchased the roughly 0.5-acre parcel of land at Northwest 10th Street and North Miami Avenue and secured a $22.7 million financing through TIG Romspen US Master Mortgage. According to a news statement, Kevin O’Grady and Justin Neelis from Concord Summit Capital handled the finance and Lynd has hired the company to find a construction loan. Additionally, Concord Summit mediated the sale.
IRR Parkwest Investments, led by Roberts and Saferstein, was sold by the Miami-based legal firm Adams Gallinar, which was represented by attorneys Michael Gallinar and Jason Camps.
A 650-unit apartment building is permitted on the site of the development. A residential tower is being planned, according to David Lynd, CEO of Lynd. “For the time being, we are keeping it quiet. We’ll release more information as we prepare to enter the market.
According to records, the vacant property was a component of a 1-acre assemblage that IRR purchased in 2020 for $26.7 million. The remaining property is still owned by Roberts and Saferstein. Roberts, a former boxing promoter, joined master developers Art Falcone and Nitin Motwani as an early investor in the Miami Worldcenter project in the early 2000s.
In March, the Miami Worldcenter development property at 1016 Northeast Second Avenue was purchased for $40.5 million by the New York-based Naftali Group and Chicago-based Akara Partners. The CEO of Naftali, Miki Naftali, is constructing two residential towers, but the company hasn’t said whether the structures would house condos or apartments.
Adam Neumann, a co-founder of WeWork, received $108 million in construction financing in February for a new apartment building on a bare lot at Miami Worldcenter. It shares a boundary with Caoba, a 40-story apartment complex at 698 Northeast First Avenue. Both the development site and Caoba’s ownership organization were purchased by Neumann.
