3 Tower Development Proposed at 3333 Biscayne Boulevard

New Development at 3333 Biscayne Blvd
New Development at 3333 Biscayne Blvd

According to a filing with the city planners, plans for a 3-tower mixed-use complex at 3333 Biscayne Boulevard in Edgewater have been made public.

The three towers themselves will be labeled as East, West, and North towers. The East tower is proposed to be a residential tower that will rise 41 stories tall with the North tower, also residential rising 40 stories tall. The West tower will be mainly a commercial tower with available office rental space rising 12 stories.

The development will also include 635 residential units spreading over the East and North towers which will also include 9 townhomes. There will also be 1,210 parking spaces throughout the 8-level garage. The office space will include 156,989 square feet and 19,180 square feet will be dedicated to the ground floor commercial spaces.

In a statement from the Developer, the three towers and a podium were developed by the project architect without overcrowding the space. An office tower on Biscayne Boulevard has a staggered design to wisely avoid reaching its full authorized height. To optimize separation and prevent crowding, the two residential buildings are set apart from one another at a diagonal angle. Nine ground-floor townhome units and a courtyard are positioned along the north and east facades of the project’s podium level, where they are intended to keep public spaces active.

The Applicant is happy to have generated an amazing design without the requirement for Waivers, Warrants, or Exceptions due to the Property’s enormous acreage and a private agreement among the owners of the united parcels to divide development rights among their sites.

A covenant in lieu of unity of title is being used in the proposal to use development rights from nearby properties that Aimco owns.

The architect is credited as Stantec. The developer had previously been identified as Beitel Group.

On November 16, there will be a hearing before the Urban Development Review Board.

MM CLUB, a private club accessible only to MM members and guests, is officially open for reservations. Located on the second floor beneath MILA Restaurant, the MM Club was curated by Michelin Star Chefs Michael Collantes and Michael Michaelidis with a concise menu and customized mixology inspired by the Mediterranean as well as Japan.

MM is intended to be the first lifestyle membership club to create a network of luxury restaurants, lounges, and other entertaining venues within the members-only access to the private area.

By giving its member’s priority access when visiting all locations, including out-of-state venues, MM reimagines how individuals navigate through dining experiences. Adding a whole new level of value to what member benefits stand for, MM is a symbol of class, refinement, and good taste. The annual cost for the membership is $5,000.

Gregory and Marine Daly, the restaurant’s creators who are French, own and run it on behalf of Rivera Dining Group. Mila “overnight became one of the top-grossing restaurants in South Florida,” according to Gregory Daly, despite having to close shortly after its opening in 2020 because of the COVID-19 epidemic. Since the restaurant’s opening, he calculates that more than 220,000 patrons have come through the door annually.

Updated Renderings Revealed for MG’s New Village of Coral Gables 48 Residence Tower

Kitchen The Village of Coral Gables
Kitchen The Village of Coral Gables

Prior to breaking ground and shortly after the official launch of its cutting-edge, on-site showroom, MG Developer unveiled updated renderings of the opulent interiors of The Village at Coral Gables new development.

The Village at Coral Gables, which offers 48 units spanning over four separate collections—Townhomes, Lofts, Villas, and Flats—is one of the most eagerly awaited development to enter Coral Gables’ market.

The style and size of the units varies, ranging from elegant flats with two bedrooms, a study, and a balcony to attractive townhomes with four bedrooms that are 1,750 to 3,100 square feet in size. The traditional yet contemporary village will also have smart recreational features for residents to enjoy, such as a Club House, Fitness Center, Business Center, and a Pool with a Pool House.

The Village at Coral Gables site is situated at 535 Santander Avenue and spread across 17 lots. By 2024, the $50 million development should be finished according to the developer.

The project’s carefully chosen interiors pay homage to Seville, Spain’s aesthetic elegance and way of life, and carry on the heritage of Coral Gables’ creator and dreamer, George Merrick, and his idea of “The City Beautiful.” Furniture was chosen from RH (Restoration Hardware), which has established its design dominance in the market for luxury lifestyle products.

The Mediterranean Revival-style design of The Village at Coral Gables will be modeled after the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929 in Seville’s Plaza de Espaa, which served as the neighborhood’s energetic hub and was ringed by gardens, courtyards, and magnificent fountains.

MG’s design team, lead by architect Maria De La Guardia of De La Guardia Victoria Architects & Urbanists, was inspired by Merrick’s seven towns and created ageless architecture that blends with the naturally lit houses, facilities, and common places.

The Village at Coral Gables is surrounded by lush, tree-lined streets that give the impression of being in the suburbs, but it is actually just a short stroll from Downtown Coral Gables, as well as being close to some of South Florida’s most prestigious golf courses, The Biltmore Hotel, popular tourist destinations, and top restaurants. The Village at Coral Gables is positioned to sell out rapidly because of all the amenities it offers, as well as its magnificent design and luxurious lifestyle.

North Bay Village Approves 7.3 Million Square Foot Development Project Featuring 1,936 Residential Units

North Bay Village Approves Development Project
North Bay Village Approves Development Project

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.
