Brickell’s Dolce&Gabbana Tower to Fund Transportation Upgrades
In a significant development for Miami’s Brickell neighborhood, the developer behind the highly anticipated 90-story Dolce&Gabbana supertall condo hotel has reached an agreement to fund crucial transit and transportation upgrades in the area. This agreement is a pivotal step in the ongoing review process as the project progresses under Miami-Dade’s Rapid Transit zoning plan.
The Dolce&Gabbana tower, a striking addition to the Miami skyline, is currently under scrutiny by Miami-Dade’s review process, which falls under the Rapid Transit zoning plan. This zoning plan is designed to ensure that new developments contribute to the public good, particularly in areas like transportation and transit infrastructure. The approval of developments within this zone is often contingent upon providing significant public benefits, which in this case, includes a substantial financial commitment from the developers.
On August 13th, a Declaration of Restrictions was officially recorded with Miami-Dade County, outlining the public benefits that will accompany the approval of the Dolce&Gabbana tower. One of the key components of this declaration is a commitment to a $1.5 million contribution from the developer. This one-time payment will be allocated to a series of much-needed upgrades and improvements in the Brickell area.
Traffic Signal Installation: A new traffic signal will be installed at the intersection of South Miami Avenue and SW 10 Street. This upgrade is expected to enhance safety and traffic flow in one of Brickell’s busiest areas.
Metromover Station Enhancements: The Tenth Street Metromover Station and its surrounding vicinity will receive repairs and upgrades. These improvements will include updates to mechanical systems, restrooms, painting, signage, accessibility features, streetscape improvements, and wayfinding support.
Additional Commitments: The $1.5 million contribution will be in addition to any permitting or impact fees that are already due to the County as part of the development process. However, if the County Director determines that any portion of the contribution is duplicative of impact fees, the developer may be eligible for an offset equivalent to the value of those fees.
The agreement was signed by Michael Stern, representing the developing entity. This commitment to improving the infrastructure around the Dolce&Gabbana tower underscores the developer’s dedication to enhancing the community and addressing the needs of Brickell’s growing population.
As the Dolce&Gabbana supertall condo hotel moves closer to realization, this agreement marks a significant milestone in ensuring that the development not only adds luxury and architectural grandeur to Miami’s skyline but also contributes meaningfully to the city’s infrastructure. The upcoming transit and transportation upgrades funded by the developer will play a vital role in supporting the continued growth and vibrancy of the Brickell neighborhood.
Construction Update for 888 Brickell by Dolce&Gabbana
JDS Development Group just filed a dry run demolition permit at the highly anticipated Brickell site, where plans for the 90-story supertall condo hotel, 888 Brickell by Dolce&Gabbana. Although this is just a preliminary step, it marks significant progress in the development process.
The filed permit indicates there is currently no contractor attached to the project. However, a permit expediter has been listed as the contact, facilitating the process. Alongside this, there is also a separate permit pending to install a fence around the property, ensuring the site’s security and preparation for future construction activities.
Back in April, JDS Development Group completed the purchase of the property for an impressive $61.2 million. This acquisition has paved the way for a remarkable collaboration with renowned fashion house Dolce&Gabbana. Together, they plan to bring to life a 90-story condo hotel that promises to redefine luxury living in Miami.
Standing at a staggering 1,049 feet, this new building is set to become the tallest in Miami. Esteemed architect Studio Sofield is at the helm of this ambitious project, ensuring a design that combines elegance, innovation, and functionality. The tower will boast 250 rooms and suites, offering unparalleled views and world-class amenities.
The collaboration between JDS Development Group and Dolce&Gabbana, along with the architectural prowess of Studio Sofield, promises to create a new landmark in Miami’s skyline. This 90-story supertall condo hotel is not just a building; it’s a statement of luxury, sophistication, and modern living.
