The Standard Residences Midtown Miami has officially broken ground. Standard Residences is being built by real estate and hospitality pioneers Standard International, Rosso Development, and Midtown Development.
Along with Miami District 2 Commissioner Sabina Covo, Jay Phillip Parker, CEO of Douglas Elliman Florida, President of Douglas Elliman Development Marketing Florida, Raymond Fort of Arquitectonica, Giancarlo Pietri of Urban Robot Associates, William J. Real of Civic Construction, and the South Florida broker community, Standard International’s Amar Lalvani and Rosso Development’s Carlos Rosso celebrated the groundbreaking.
The 12-story building is a collaboration between the highly regarded architecture firm Arquitectonica, renowned interior designers Urban Robot Associates, The Standard’s in-house design team, landscape architect Naturalficial, and Civic Construction acting as general contractor.
The project’s ground breaking speaker was Lalvani, Executive Chairman of Standard International, who emphasized the company’s longstanding ties to Miami and praised their collaboration with Carlos Rosso. The project’s lively environment and the need for such a lifestyle-driven building in a good location were stressed by Rosso, the founder of Rosso Development.
Standard is located at 3100 Northeast 1st Avenue in Midtown, tucked between the Design District and Wynwood. The development offers 34,000 square feet of carefully chosen amenity space and 228 residential units.
Upon completion, residents will have the chance to enjoy the distinctive style, amenities, and service of the renowned hotel brand. The building will be the first to provide flexible living, allowing owners to lease their units for periods as little as one month.
Between 432 square feet and 965 square feet in size, the units, which range from studios to two-bedroom homes, strike a balance between design and usability.
A 60-foot resort-style sunset pool on the rooftop, a renowned restaurant and bar, and wellness amenities like a cutting-edge fitness facility, an infrared sauna, yoga, and stretch studios are just a few of the amenities available. A karaoke bar, a screening room, co-working areas, Zoom rooms, and a private boardroom can be found on the social floor.
A small number of homes, starting at $499,900, are still available at The Standard Residences, which is anticipated to be finished by the end of 2024.

Location Ventures Breaks Ground on URBIN Miami Beach
URBIN Miami Beach has officially broken ground. With developer Location Ventures, the achievement signifies the start of construction for the first-to-market mixed-use brand, which mixes design-forward residential units for short- or long-term rental with coworking spaces, wellness amenities, social activations, and lifestyle-oriented retail, all at one central address.
For the official groundbreaking event, which took place at the project site, 1260 Washington Ave., Location Ventures, development partners, and city representatives, Miami Beach Commissioner Alex Fernandez, Washington Avenue Business Development Executive Director Troy Wright, and Miami Beach Mayor Dan Gelber were among the distinguished visitors.
The URBIN brand portfolio’s initial property, URBIN Miami Beach, has a second location in Coconut Grove, with ambitions to expand to other U.S. cities. Once completed, URBIN Miami Beach will be a 69-unit tower with a number of wonderful amenities.
The development sold out quickly and drew a wide range of buyers from Latin America and Europe. 90% of the homes at URBIN Coconut Grove have already been sold, and construction is scheduled to begin at that location in 2023.
The fully furnished units at URBIN Miami Beach range in size from 275 square feet for studios to 1,334 square feet for four bedrooms with partial ocean views. Community, collaboration, and networking will be facilitated via shared spaces, such as a common kitchen, dining area, and living room. Exclusive access to a lease-back arrangement allowing up to 90 nights per year on the property will be available to unit owners only.

Rishi Kapoor, CEO of Location Ventures, stated “Following enormous sales interest, we are pleased to commence the construction process for the first URBIN location at a ripe point in Miami Beach’s history.” The rapidly developing, storied Washington Avenue sector will benefit from this property’s integration of living, working, and wellness into one space.
Touzet Studio, headed by Carlos Prio-Touzet and Jacqueline Gonzalez-Touzet, created URBIN Miami Beach. The building’s exterior will reflect the whimsical spirit of Miami Beach by incorporating geometric patterns and hues that are common to the area and paying homage to its Art Deco past.
The interiors of its communal areas and amenities were chosen by Meyer Davis, a renowned New York City design firm. The home is located in the largest Art Deco neighborhood in the world, two blocks from the ocean, and close to Ocean Drive and Lincoln Road.
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 building will also contain 1,321 square feet of commercial and retail space, as well as parking for up to 694 cars and 350 bicycles.
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.
Sales for the project began in March 2021 and sold 75% within the first 9 months. Now the project is sold out! The designer for the project is listed as BAMO.
The price of a residence begins at $1 million, and PMG Residential is in charge of sales and marketing.
Hilton Management Services will be in charge of running the Waldorf Astoria Residences Miami.
Demolition has already begun on the existing asphalt as well as field site borings being completed. Deep Soil Mix permit has been issued and work was started in July 2022.
The tower is expected to be finished in 2025.
