Construction is progressing at St. Regis Residences Miami with the newest construction permit submission.
The application was submitted on August 9 but without the full plans, the permit review will not begin. The permit has not yet been assigned to a contractor. The owner is identified as 1809 Brickell Property Owner, LLC, and the contact information is a Related group email. According to the permit, the hard construction cost will be $201,740,547.
By a 4-0 vote in June, the UDRB recommended approval of the project, subject to the developer’s agreement to “study the balconies at the lower levels in an attempt to widen areas that cannot currently be fully furnished.”
After around four months of evaluation, the Federal Aviation Administration authorized the tower’s permanent height at 630 feet above the ground, or 639 feet above sea level, on July 14.
For the location, total demolition permission was requested in June and is currently being handled.
St. Regis Residences Miami is planned to rise 52 stories or 639 feet and will include 391 parking spaces as well as 152 residential units.
Robert A.M. Stern Architects is creating the project with a nautical concept. CFE is the architect of the records.

Interior Renderings Revealed for ONE Park Tower
The interiors and amenities of ONE Park Tower, a 33-story residential structure proposed for 2411 Laguna Circle, tucked within the vast SoLé Mia master-planned neighborhood in North Miami, have been revealed in new drawings. The Turnberry-led development will include 299 luxury condominiums with breathtaking views of the seven-acre Crystal Lagoons amenity and the surrounding idyllic natural landscapes.
With generously proportioned one, two, and three-bedroom apartments, as well as a number of penthouses, these dwellings are intended to accommodate a variety of lifestyles. The expansive views of the stunning turquoise lagoon, the green Oleta River State Park, the glittering Biscayne Bay, the limitless Atlantic Ocean, and the fascinating Miami city skyline are all visible from every unit.
The development was designed by renowned architecture firm Arquitectonica, with interiors by the internationally acclaimed Meyer Davis and landscaping by Enea Garden Design. ONE Park Tower offers a lifestyle of unrivaled elegance and ocean views together with exclusive beach access and upscale facilities.
The interiors of the residences, which range in size from 900 to 2,100 square feet, are expertly planned to meld the site’s natural beauty with the vibrant vitality of the nearby metropolitan environment. Large wrap-around terraces with exquisite glass railings are made possible by expansive glass walls and high ceilings that seamlessly link the internal and outdoor areas. With porcelain floors, roomy master bedrooms, walk-in closets with optional improvements, and opulent master bathrooms with stunning wet rooms with showers and soaking tubs, each apartment will exude sophistication.
The focal point of the SoLé Mia neighborhood is a crystal-clear swimmable lagoon that is the equivalent of 21 Olympic-sized swimming pools. This magnificent amenity, which offers a dedicated lagoon-front beach furnished with inviting umbrellas and cozy beach chairs, will be a special treat for residents of ONE Park Tower by Turnberry. The property staff will go above and beyond to meet residents’ needs, providing the extraordinary service for which Turnberry is known. Residents can hire kayaks and stand-up paddle boards from a dedicated Beach Concierge, giving them the freedom to explore the calm waters at their own pace.
The 37 acres of vivid green space that makeup ONE Park Tower by Turnberry are dedicated to promoting a healthy and active lifestyle. Eight miles of bike and running paths, private swimming pools, and pickleball courts are available to residents as recreational opportunities to keep them active and interested.
Modern fitness facilities, spa services, and massage therapies are available at the state-of-the-art wellness center, which is a haven of renewal. For those looking for a productive setting, co-working spaces, a well-stocked library, and private event rooms for gatherings and special occasions are also available. The dedicated children’s playroom makes sure that young residents have a place to run around and play, while the climate-controlled wine lounge caters to wine enthusiasts. A gated entry and round-the-clock security ensure a safe and serene living environment. Security is of the utmost importance. Additionally, residents’ daily life is made more convenient by protected garage parking that includes EV charging stations.
Chicago-Based Company Files Plans for 39-Story Residential Tower in Brickell
Focus, a Chicago-based company recently submitted plans for a residential tower at the site of the former Starlite Motel in Brickell. According to records, the company paid $28 million for the property in November 2022.
“Miami’s vibrant metropolis, with its walkable urban cores, offers a dynamic and energetic environment that aligns perfectly with our mission,” said Tim Anderson, CEO and Founder of Focus.
The site’s demolition was finished earlier this year, and it was just permitted to be a part of Miami-Dade’s Rapid Transit Zoning District, which permits higher density. A pre-application for the new skyscraper was submitted to Miami-Dade planners on August 4. Gensler is listed as the architect for this new development.
According to the plans, the tower will rise 39 stories tall and will feature 516 residential units. There will also be ground floor retail, indoor and outdoor amenity spaces, and 506 parking spaces.
New York-Based Shvo Obtains Construction Loan for Miami Beach Hotel to Add Condo Tower to Development
New York-based Shvo recently secured a $190 million construction loan for The Raleigh Hotel in Miami Beach to add a condo development.
Currently, the site includes The Raleigh, the Richmond Hotel, and the South Seas Hotel. The three hotels were put together by the developers for $242.85 million in 2019. At the time, the property was secured by a $146.9 million loan from Acore Capital Management.
The developers might be able to remove equity from the project and move the work along if they take out a loan for a higher sum. According to the developer, the hotel contributed over $1 billion to the project, including over $300 million in stock.
The hotel is closed while work is being done on the premises. The Raleigh will have 60 suites under Rosewood Hotels & Resorts’ management when it reopens in 2026. The developer is also constructing a high-end restaurant with a private member’s club and a 17-story condo with 42 flats that bears the Rosewood brand.
The 1940s saw the development of the Raleigh. The curving pool, the Martini Bar, and the Tiger Room are just a few of the hotel’s distinctive characteristics that will be preserved by Shvo.
To design the project, Shvo hired New York-based architect Peter Marino and Miami-based Kobi Karp Architecture.
Former Raleigh project investor Bilgili Group, based in Turkey, has pulled out of the project.
David Guetta Buys Indian Creek Waterfront Mansion for $69 Million
David Guetta, a well-known DJ and producer, is under contract to purchase a beachfront spec mansion in Indian Creek that was recently listed for $69 million.
Guetta, who owns a condo at the Setai Miami Beach, reportedly sold his record collection to Warner Music for roughly $100 million two years ago. At the time, he had sold 50 million records and had more than 14 billion streams of music.
The celebrated French DJ is buying the almost 16,000 square foot, 12-bedroom estate at 37 Indian Creek Island Drive. The 1.2-acre property has 118 feet of water frontage. The property is being sold to Guetta by developer Todd Michael Glaser and his associates.
The Indian Creek property was sold to Glaser, Jim Randall, Scott Robins, and Jonathan Fryd two years ago for $23.8 million by longtime “Sábado Gigante” host Don Francisco. They started work on the spec mansion after demolishing the old residence.
Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner’s property, which they acquired for $24 million in 2021, is right next door to the residence.
Indian Creek, a gated community, is located north of Miami Beach. Additionally, multibillionaire hedge fund manager Eddie Lampert, musician Julio Iglesias, Hotels.com co-founder Bob Diener, and auto industry titan Norman Braman own homes at this exclusive neighborhood.
In an off-market transaction that established a record for Indian Creek in June, hotelier Tulia Soucy de Gonzalez Gorrondona sold her beachfront mansion at 11 Indian Creek Island Road for $68 million. For his neighboring mansion at 26 Indian Creek Island Road, seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady obtained a $35 million construction loan in that month.

We received strong lender interest for this project, and this financing package affirms our team’s ability to create an incredible residential experience with a combination of an amazing waterfront location, service-oriented lifestyle, and world-class design.

One of the only private yacht clubs in the region is housed in the boutique structure, and guests may enjoy a sought-after view of the prized Indian Creek Island.
