Twenty-Nine Indian Creek Condos

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.

37 Story Tower Designed by Arquitectonica and Developed by 13th Floor Investments in Now Complete

Casade in Miami
Casade in Miami

Cascade, a 37-story multi-family building at 3050 Southwest 37th Avenue in Miami, is now complete. The building, designed by Arquitectonica and developed by a joint venture partnership between Miami-based real estate developers 13th Floor Investments and Adler Group, in collaboration with global investment manager Barings, contains 421 modern apartment homes ranging in size from 510 to 1,323 square feet.

The residential tower is the second to be completed within the 7-acre Link at Douglas master plan, which is bounded to the north by Peacock Avenue, to the east by Southwest 37th Avenue (Douglas Road), to the south by Shipping Avenue and South Dixie Highway, and to the west by Southwest 37th Court. The building’s general contractor was Civic Construction, and it received its Temporary Certificate of Occupancy (TCO) from Miami-Dade County on January 5.

The 37-story tower is located at the intersection of two of Miami’s most desirable neighborhoods, Coconut Grove and Coral Gables, and is adjacent to the Douglas Road Metrorail Station, US-1, the city’s main thoroughfare, and The Underline, a 10-mile linear park, urban trail, and public art destination. Residents have direct access to the Metrorail system, bus lines, and the Miami and Coral Gables Trolleys, making commuting to Brickell, Downtown Miami, and the Health District a breeze.

The property’s interiors, designed by DesignAgency, feature teak wood and textured wall designs that contrast with matte black accents, creating effortless elegance without exclusivity. Earth tones can be found throughout, from the lobby lounge’s relaxed greenery and natural wood details to a lush garden display outlining the expansive amenity deck, providing serenity in each space.

Stone-wrapped kitchen islands, floor-to-ceiling windows, and in-unit washers and dryers are features of the residential units. Tall matte lacquer soft close cabinets, full tile backsplash, modern ENERGY STAR® appliances, porcelain tiled showers, front-lit vanity mirrors, and wood-look flooring are among the superior features and finishes. Select residences have inboard private balconies.

Cascade’s amenities include a resort-style pool with luxury lounge seating, cabanas, a poolside bar, an outdoor movie screen, and a game room with a foosball table, billiards, shuffleboard, and card tables, a basketball half-court, a yoga studio, grilling stations, outdoor dining areas, an indoor social lounge with comfortable seating, modern kitchen, media room, and a kids’ playroom, and an onsite dog run and wash.

The Link at Douglas master plan will include approximately 1,600 residential units, over 32,000 square feet of retail space, and a public plaza connecting to The Underline. Cascade’s sister property, CORE, a 22-story multifamily tower with 312 apartment residences and 6,000 square feet of ground-floor retail, opened in 2021.

Shore Club Private Collection South Beach

With the debut of the Shore Club Private Collection in South Beach, 49 residential units created by Robert A.M. Stern Architects will be available, including a brand-new, 200-foot-tall oceanfront tower that is the renowned designer’s nautically-inspired take on the region’s famous MiMo architecture.

With a rounded shape influenced by ocean waves and replete with nautical and yachting allusions, it will rise 18 floors and no floor plans are the same.

A pool and private gardens are just two of the resort-style features available to members of The Shore Club Private Collection apartments, which are managed by Auberge but offer solitude and seclusion within the 5-star resort.

Interior design elements include mahogany and oak woods, nickel, brass, and other light metalwork accents, swooping walls, and arched windows, all of which are references to the materials and shapes of classic yachts. Units will start at $6 million.

Four duplex houses are located on the upper floors of The Cromwell, a different 1939-built structure that is also being refurbished and integrated as a private entrance for residents.

A 6,000-square-foot single-family beach house for the Shoreclub Private Collection, which was similarly created by RAMSA, is also under construction.

On the project, RAMSA worked with Miami-based Kobi Karp Architecture & Interior Design. Landscape planning is being managed by Island Planning Corporation with developers Witkoff and Monroe Capital.

One River Point Receives FAA Height Approval

One River Point Miami Condos

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.

The same property received FAA approval in 2014 for a construction height of 928 feet above ground (that approval expired in September 2018). The FAA then gave the towers additional certification in 2019.

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. According to Defortuna, the loan is a line of credit to be utilized for the 386-unit luxury condominium’s development, sales, and marketing. After the unit plans are completed, sales should begin this year.

The developers will make a few changes while maintaining Rafael Violy’s original concept. 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.

Uber and Miami’s Brightline Joining Forces

Brightline and Uber Join Forces in Miami
Brightline and Uber Join Forces in Miami

Uber and Miami-based Brightline have teamed together to give customers more transportation choices throughout South Florida.

The collaboration aims to satisfy client demand and improve Brightline+, a door-to-door service that already offers electric golf carts, airport and event shuttles, and door-to-door transportation.

According to the passenger rail firm, Uber will increase the number of vehicles available to passengers on the Brightline+ network. In the United States, this is the first time Uber has connected to a faster intercity rail service.

The Brightline app or website now allows users to add shared or private Uber rides when purchasing rail tickets. By guaranteeing a driver is waiting curbside to take passengers to their next location, the new in-app booking function aims to eliminate wait periods.

While Smart users can pay to add additional journeys to and from the station without distance limits, Brightline Premium passengers will receive complimentary rides within a 5-mile radius.

The fixed-route and electric vehicle shuttles of Brightline+ will still offer walkup rides. Destinations in Miami Beach, Miami International Airport, and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport can all be reached via fixed-route shuttles.

In order to make it simpler for users to reach the stations and destination points, Brightline+ was introduced in 2021. Currently, Miami, Aventura, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, and West Palm Beach all have Brightline stations. This year, it intends to start offering service to Orlando.
