Millennium Developments Signs Covenant for New 70-Story Brickell Tower-Calle 8
Millennium Developments is moving forward with plans for an impressive new 70-story tower in Brickell, Calle 8. In a significant step toward realizing this ambitious project, the developer has signed a covenant with Miami-Dade County. The agreement, officially recorded on November 4th, states that the tower will connect to the county’s water and sewer systems, which is required as a condition of the building permit.
The proposed tower is set to become one of Brickell’s tallest buildings, rising to 750 feet. The design envisions 464 residential units, offering a mix of luxury residences with stunning views of Miami’s skyline. Additionally, the project includes 75,736 square feet dedicated to either performing arts spaces or retail, bringing a blend of culture, commerce, and community to the heart of Brickell. The building will also provide ample parking, with 653 planned spaces, along with various amenities to enhance the lifestyle of future residents.
In August, Millennium Developments submitted an updated version of the proposal to Miami-Dade County as part of the ongoing zoning approval process. This proposal includes preliminary plans and renderings, shared for reference in the zoning phase, with a formal submission to follow as part of the site plan review.
BMA Architects is the architectural team behind the vision for this 70-story tower, adding their expertise to shape what is anticipated to be an iconic addition to the Miami skyline.
Millennium Developments’ latest project reflects Brickell’s growth as a hub for luxury living, arts, and entertainment. As zoning approval progresses, more details on the tower’s features and design will be revealed, shaping an exciting future for this high-rise in Brickell.

Watson Island Set for Transformative Development with Four Planned Towers
Miami’s iconic Watson Island is on the verge of a remarkable transformation, with plans for four new high-rise towers now under consideration. Developers Terra, ESJ Capital Partners, BH3, and Merrimac Ventures have set their sights on creating a blend of residential, hospitality, and commercial spaces on the island, though the proposals depend on two key items that City of Miami voters will weigh in on during tomorrow’s referendum. If approved, these plans would not only enhance Miami’s skyline but also bring new amenities and a public park to Watson Island.
On the north side of Watson Island, Terra and ESJ Capital Partners have proposed two striking residential towers, each rising 40 stories high. The development would add between 500 and 600 residential units to the island, making it a highly desirable living destination within close proximity to Miami’s bustling downtown.
As part of the agreement, Terra and ESJ Capital Partners would compensate the City of Miami for the use of land and commit to building a public park, adding value not only to the residents but also to Miami locals and visitors who would enjoy the expanded green space and waterfront access.
Meanwhile, the south side of Watson Island would see a more diverse mix of uses under the plans put forth by BH3 and Merrimac Ventures. This development envisions two towers, one approximately 40 stories high and another 30 stories, combining upscale residences, a lifestyle hotel, and entertainment amenities.
The taller tower would house 105 luxury condominiums, priced above $1 million, as well as 150 hotel rooms catering to the discerning traveler. The shorter tower would offer a lifestyle hotel with over 350 rooms, making it a major destination for visitors.
In addition to the residential and hospitality spaces, the south side would feature retail outlets, restaurants, and offices, creating a vibrant, mixed-use community that enriches Miami’s luxury lifestyle offerings.
If the referendum results are favorable, BH3 and Merrimac Ventures plan to begin the permitting process in 2025, with groundbreaking slated for 2026. These timelines reflect the city’s ambition to thoughtfully integrate this project into the fabric of Watson Island while maintaining a balance between development and public access.
As the decision rests with Miami’s voters, the outcome of this referendum could shape Watson Island’s future as a premier destination, blending urban luxury with community-focused green spaces.
Amazon Eyeing Wynwood for Major Office Space in Miami’s Hottest New Development
Amazon, the latest tech giant considering Miami for a significant expansion, is reportedly in talks to lease between 60,000 and 80,000 square feet at Wynwood Plaza. With negotiations centering on approximately 75,000 square feet, Amazon could soon occupy a substantial portion of the state-of-the-art development currently under construction in Wynwood.
This potential move marks another major step in Amazon’s increasing interest in Miami, coming just a year after founder Jeff Bezos announced his own relocation to the Magic City. The arrival of Amazon would be a game-changer for the Wynwood area, further cementing Miami’s reputation as a burgeoning tech and business hub.
Wynwood Plaza is poised to be a revolutionary development in Miami’s iconic arts district, featuring a mix of commercial, residential, and retail spaces designed to cater to the evolving needs of a modern city. Key features include:
Class AAA Office Tower: Spanning 266,000 square feet, this state-of-the-art building, designed by architectural firm Gensler, promises cutting-edge office spaces tailored to top-tier businesses.
High-End Apartments: With 509 luxury rental apartments, Wynwood Plaza will offer a premium residential option in the heart of Miami’s most vibrant neighborhood.
Retail & Dining Spaces: The development will feature 32,000 square feet of retail space, including 6,600 square feet of outdoor dining, contributing to Wynwood’s lively atmosphere.
Half-Acre Outdoor Plaza: Designed by James Corner Field Operations, this large, open-air plaza will be the largest of its kind in the Wynwood Arts District and one of the largest in Miami. It’s set to become a communal space where art, culture, and leisure converge, enhancing the neighborhood’s walkability and appeal.
Developed by L&L Holding Company and Oak Row Equities, alongside partners Shorenstein Properties and co-investor Claure Group, Wynwood Plaza is not just another development but a bold statement about Miami’s future. The Claure Group, which will establish its headquarters within Wynwood Plaza’s office tower, adds a local anchor to the project, fostering a collaborative environment for local and global businesses alike.
With the office towers already topped off, Wynwood Plaza is on track for a 2025 opening, promising to redefine the landscape of Wynwood and draw further interest from influential brands and businesses.
If finalized, Amazon’s presence would accelerate Wynwood’s transformation into a premier destination for innovation and business. As a brand synonymous with forward-thinking technology and global reach, Amazon would bring an influx of talent, new opportunities, and perhaps inspire other tech giants to follow suit. For Wynwood and Miami at large, Amazon’s investment would amplify the city’s standing as an attractive base for technology and corporate growth.
With Amazon potentially leading the charge, Wynwood Plaza’s cutting-edge design, vibrant community spaces, and strategic location set it up as a beacon for what Miami’s business future could hold. For now, all eyes are on Wynwood as it awaits the official announcement.

New 600-Unit Apartment Development Planned at Pullman Miami Airport Hotel Site
London + Regional Properties, operating through its subsidiary LR Miami Airport Hotel, LLC, recently submitted an Administrative Site Plan Review (ASPR) application to Miami-Dade County on October 24th, revealing plans for a new residential project at the Pullman Miami Airport Hotel site at 5800 Blue Lagoon Drive. This ambitious proposal includes two eight-story mixed-use buildings on the hotel’s current parking lot, bringing 600 new residential units to the area. The developer initially purchased this 10-acre property, which houses a 15-story hotel with 281 rooms, back in 2019.
The development envisions two distinct buildings, each housing approximately 300 units with sizes varying from 570 to 1,718 square feet, spanning studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom layouts. Key features include three parking structures totaling 1,344 spaces, with 1,020 spaces allocated for the apartments and 324 reserved for hotel guests. Additionally, the parking facility closest to the hotel will incorporate 6,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space. Residents will also have access to two pool and clubhouse areas, measuring 6,200 and 4,900 square feet, respectively.
The east building will contain 319 units across its eight floors, with:
32 studio units averaging 578 sq. ft.
191 one-bedroom units averaging 803 sq. ft.
90 two-bedroom units averaging 1,093 sq. ft.
6 three-bedroom units averaging 1,380 sq. ft.
The total leasable area for this building is projected at 278,600 square feet. The parking plan includes 452 spaces, divided into ADA, van, and standard spots, with a consistent distribution of 30 to 42 units per floor featuring a variety of floor plans.
The west building will offer 281 units across eight floors, comprising:
32 studio units averaging 561 sq. ft.
151 one-bedroom units averaging 768 sq. ft.
98 two-bedroom units averaging 1,108 sq. ft.
The total leasable space here will cover 242,492 square feet, and parking will be available in the form of 420 spaces, including 8 ADA-accessible spaces, with no compact or tandem options.
An essential component of the ASPR application includes a request to adjust the site’s inclusion in the Blue Lagoon Development of Regional Impact (DRI) to align with the project’s goals. The developer is pursuing variances to amend zoning conditions, particularly regarding parking and setback regulations, to better accommodate the new residential structures. Designed as a transit-oriented development under the Miami-Dade County SMART Corridor Subzone guidelines, this project is strategically located within a quarter-mile of the East-West Corridor of the SMART Program.
London + Regional Properties has partnered with an experienced development team to execute this project:
Architect: Bizi Arq, based in Palmetto Bay
Civil Engineer: Hadonne
Landscape Architect: Kimley-Horn
Traffic Consultant: Traf Tech Engineering, Inc.
The project application further requests an exception to continue hotel operations during construction, emphasizing a smooth transition to accommodate both current and new uses.
This proposal, if approved, will transform the existing Pullman Miami Airport Hotel site into a modern mixed-use destination, enhancing residential options and bringing convenient transit and lifestyle amenities to Miami’s Blue Lagoon area.
