Sales Launch for Twenty Nine Indian Creek in the Faena District Miami Beach
JMH Development has officially launched sales for Twenty-Nine Indian Creek Condos, a boutique collection of only 11 private residences will rise at the nexus of Indian Creek Drive and Collins Avenue in the heart of the thriving Faena District in Miami Beach.
Twenty-Nine Indian Creek will reflect timeless sophistication and serve as an emblem for historic preservation, with architecture, interiors, and landscaping designed by renowned firm Urban Robot. The seven-story modern structure will house eight three-bedroom residences and one sprawling full-floor penthouse with an expansive wraparound terrace and panoramic views.
The development site is home to a 1930s Art Deco structure that has been hidden from public view for nearly 60 years. JMH Development will restore and relocate the structure to harmoniously integrate the past and present, resulting in two sprawling townhomes that will pay homage to the inherent design qualities of its former era.
Each elegantly appointed residence, ranging in size from 1,750 to 4,800 square feet, is designed to maximize space and seamlessly connect to the outdoors, with sweeping floor-to-ceiling windows and doors allowing in an abundance of natural light. Spacious terraces with iconic, undulated railings showcase exquisite craftsmanship that continues indoors – with meticulous attention to detail.
Gourmet chefs’ kitchens feature bone white lacquered custom cabinetry, Miele appliances with wine storage, and marble countertops and islands. Freestanding soaking tubs, dual vanities, honed flooring, and premium Hansgrohe fixtures are among the indulgent features found in spa-inspired bathrooms. Townhomes have double-height great rooms that are 18 feet tall, as well as private terraces with landscaped gardens and a summer kitchen.
Residents will enjoy a palm-tree shaded pool deck with daybed lounge chairs and tanning areas, a summer kitchen with barbeque and dining area, an outdoor shower, and direct access to a dedicated beach club. The Art Deco-inspired geometrical design of the building is complemented by lush landscaping with terraced walls and cascading greenery, water features, and a natural color palette, creating an immediate sense of serenity.
Twenty-Nine Indian Creek will be located in the city’s most vibrant neighborhood, allowing residents to easily explore world-class dining, hospitality, and cultural institutions such as the Faena Hotel and Faena Forum, The Miami Beach Edition, the upcoming Aman Miami Beach, and Bvlgari Hotel.
Prices range from $2.5 million to $10 million, with construction set to begin in Spring 2023 and completion expected in Q1 2025.

The Federal Aviation Administration has given its certification for the One River Point towers in downtown Miami. The FAA allowed the towers to rise to a height of 788 feet above ground, or 797 feet above sea level, in a letter that was sent out on January 16.

Developers Edgardo Defortuna of Fortune International Group and Shahab Karmely of KAR Properties announced their collaboration to construct the buildings in November 2022.
The original developing company sold the property to the new partnership for $58.85 million.
According to records, Bank OZK gave the developers a $38 million loan for the 1.8-acre site at 24 Southwest Fourth Street in Miami.

An 85-foot waterfall, a three-story glass skybridge that floats in midair, and an exclusive members-only Adrian Zecha “Sky Club” on the 55th level with two restaurants, a cigar lounge, a wine cellar, and a screening room were all originally planned.
