Foundation Pour Completed for JEM Private Residences at Miami Worldcenter, Marking Major Construction Milestone

Vertical construction is officially underway at JEM Private Residences, the highly anticipated 67-story luxury tower rising at 1016 Northeast 2nd Avenue in Downtown Miami. On May 30th, general contractor Coastal Construction completed the massive foundation pour, a major milestone that signals the start of vertical development for one of the most iconic projects within the Miami Worldcenter district.

The pour began at 9:00 p.m. and continued through the night, lasting approximately 18 hours. It involved 8,400 cubic yards of concrete transported by 840 truckloads—an extraordinary logistical feat that reflects the scale and ambition of the project.

Designed by Arquitectonica with interiors by Rockwell Group and landscape design by ESDA, JEM Private Residences will soar over 700 feet into the Miami skyline. The building will house 278 luxury condominiums beginning on the 43rd floor, each offering wraparound terraces and sweeping views of Biscayne Bay and Downtown Miami.

Setting a new benchmark for elevated urban living, JEM will feature an expansive amenity suite on its 50th floor. Residents will enjoy a Sky Lounge, a 60-foot outdoor pool with sweeping vistas, a state-of-the-art boxing arena, yoga patio, and a full spa suite complete with a Himalayan salt room, sauna, and steam room. Other amenities include co-working lounges, private dining areas, a game lounge, and a curated spirits tasting room.

The architecture embraces a resort-like atmosphere with flowing, wave-inspired forms and organic textures that emphasize natural light and indoor-outdoor harmony.

Slated for completion in Q4 2027, JEM Private Residences continues to shape the future of luxury living in Miami. OneWorld Properties serves as the exclusive sales and marketing partner for the development.

LIVWRK Unveils Visionary High-Rise Community in Wynwood Arts District

A bold new chapter is on the horizon for Miami’s Wynwood Arts District. LIVWRK, a Brooklyn-based developer known for forward-thinking urban projects, has submitted plans for a massive mixed-use development that will bring the area’s first high-rise towers to life. Designed by MKDA, the proposal—dubbed LIVWRK Wynwood—calls for three striking 45-story towers reaching 465 feet in height.

Located at 2400–2418 North Miami Avenue, the project spans an impressive 1.81 million square feet. It replaces a previously approved mid-rise plan and utilizes Florida’s Live Local Act to surpass local zoning height limits, enabling increased residential density in exchange for much-needed workforce housing.

In total, LIVWRK Wynwood will introduce 1,363 new residential units to the neighborhood. Notably, 529 units—representing 40% of the total—are earmarked as workforce housing. This includes all 494 studios and 35 one-bedroom units, which are expected to rent for approximately $2,800 per month. Residences will range from 453 to 1,306 square feet and offer a range of floor plans from studios to three-bedroom layouts.

At the base of the towers, an expansive parking and amenity podium will house 912 parking spaces and over 88,000 square feet of retail and shared amenities. Each tower will feature dedicated amenity decks on the ninth floor, along with lounge spaces on the 29th floor, offering elevated city views and recreational experiences.

The architecture, according to MKDA, embraces Wynwood’s artistic roots and industrial texture. The façade will feature raw materials like exposed concrete, perforated metal, and loft-style window frames, blended with lush green elements and art-driven details. A landscaped paseo will slice through the site, prioritizing pedestrian movement and linking NW 24th Street, NW 25th Street, and North Miami Avenue.

Carefully planned for walkability and community engagement, the ground level will be activated with retail, art installations, and widened sidewalks. Entry points will be recessed to create inviting alcoves, and murals will bring the street frontage to life. Meanwhile, the parking garage will be fully wrapped by occupied space on the lower floors to ensure an attractive and seamless pedestrian experience.

Balconies will vary in openness and rhythm, especially at higher floors, to allow natural light and airflow throughout the towers. The podium and upper levels will serve as platforms for large-scale sculptures, bringing a curated, gallery-like dimension to daily life for residents and visitors alike.

As one of the most significant proposals filed under the Live Local Act, LIVWRK Wynwood not only seeks to redefine the district’s skyline but also to create an inclusive, vertically integrated neighborhood that reflects Miami’s evolving urban identity.

East Tower of Oasis Hallandale Prepares for Vertical Rise as Development Nears Final Phase

Progress continues at Oasis Hallandale, where vertical construction is about to begin on the highly anticipated East Tower. Located on a prime 10-acre site in Hallandale Beach, the mixed-use community is entering its final stage as the West Tower has officially topped out and remains on track for a late 2025 delivery. The East Tower, now poised to rise, is scheduled for completion in 2027.

The brainchild of developer Giuseppe Iadisernia and designed by internationally renowned firm Arquitectonica, Oasis Hallandale encompasses two residential towers with 500 total units, paired with thoughtfully integrated retail, office, and entertainment components. The project’s contemporary design, walkable layout, and high-end finishes have attracted buyers from across the globe, including the U.S., Latin America, Canada, and Eastern Europe.

The East Tower will bring a new collection of residences ranging from 900 to 4,750 square feet. Designed with luxury and lifestyle in mind, units will feature floor-to-ceiling glass, expansive balconies, imported Italian finishes, and open-plan living spaces. Some residences will offer unique two-level layouts, walk-in closets, and powder rooms.

An extensive amenity program will span 70,000 square feet and include:

• Resort-style pool deck with cabanas and yoga lawn

• Wellness spa and state-of-the-art fitness center

• Co-working lounge and social areas

• Indoor and outdoor cinemas

The already completed commercial sector comprises 60,000 square feet of dining and retail plus 35,000 square feet of office space across five low-rise buildings. Current tenants include KC Market, Oasis Dental, Davinci Café, and Oasis Fit, adding daily convenience to the residential community.

In addition to Arquitectonica’s bold design, the project features lush landscape elements curated by ArquitectonicaGEO, including a signature six-story waterfall, shaded pathways, and vibrant green spaces designed for relaxation and recreation.

With momentum building, Oasis Hallandale stands as a flagship development redefining modern living in Hallandale Beach—joining a wave of high-profile projects like Shell Bay by Auberge Resorts and the revitalized Diplomat Hotel to elevate the city’s profile on the luxury real estate map.

Braman Motors Advances Ambitious Mixed-Use Campus Redevelopment in Miami’s Edgewater

Braman Motors is pressing ahead with the major redevelopment and expansion of its Edgewater campus under the Braman Miami Campus Special Area Plan (SAP), initially approved in 2022. With design contributions from Arquitectonica and Wolfberg Alvarez, the project received conditional approval from the City of Miami’s Urban Development Review Board on April 23, and is set for further evaluation by the Planning, Zoning, and Appeals Board on June 4. A final vote on the SAP amendment is expected in July.

The sprawling master plan spans 21 parcels—including three sites acquired for $13 million in 2022—and will be developed in multiple phases. Once completed, the site will encompass a dynamic blend of automotive facilities, high-rise residential towers, office and retail space, and public infrastructure focused on enhancing walkability and urban connectivity, while preserving Braman’s flagship automotive operations.

The first phase introduces an 11-story, 185-foot-tall automotive facility along NE 20th Street. Designed to serve both operational efficiency and architectural appeal, the structure will feature:

• An 8,500-square-foot service lounge

• A 14,300-square-foot parts warehouse

• A 44,200-square-foot paint shop

• A 51-bay body shop

• A 243,000-square-foot service center

• A garage with 1,869 parking spaces

The building will be wrapped in a sleek façade inspired by automotive elements like car grilles, artfully masking the functional components of the parking podium. This phase also includes a pedestrian-friendly redesign of NE 20th Terrace, complete with widened sidewalks, decorative pavers, public art, lighting, and landscaping. The corridor will function as a shared space for cars and pedestrians and will be programmed for events and vehicle showcases.

Phase two brings a 60-story, 649-foot residential tower featuring 624 residential units, ranging from studios to three-bedroom layouts. The podium will offer:

• 1,111 parking spaces

• 27,520 square feet of retail space

• 57,176 square feet of office use

A rooftop restaurant is proposed on the 13th floor, although specific details remain flexible. This phase strengthens Edgewater’s skyline while aligning with demand for luxury vertical living.

The third phase introduces another 60-story tower, slightly taller at 655 feet. This building will include 550 residential units—primarily two- and three-bedroom layouts—but will forgo on-site parking. Instead, residents will utilize adjacent parking facilities. The tower’s podium will house a 50,669-square-foot showroom. A skybridge will connect the two towers’ 12th and 13th floors, merging resident amenities and encouraging fluid connectivity between the buildings.

The last phase involves redeveloping an existing Shell gas station on the property, built in 2009. Plans feature a redesigned retail structure of 838 square feet and sculptural awnings that echo hubcap forms—blending function with design-forward aesthetics.

Braman’s master plan prioritizes pedestrian mobility and multimodal access. According to the project’s letter of intent, new shared roadways and redesigned streetscapes will encourage walking and biking, with enhanced public spaces to foster community engagement.

When completed, the Braman Miami Campus redevelopment will stand as one of Edgewater’s most transformative private developments in terms of both scale and scope. It reflects Miami’s urban evolution toward higher density, mixed-use vibrancy, and pedestrian-centric design, setting a precedent for future growth in the neighborhood.

2900 Terrace Breaks Ground in Edgewater as Plans Progress for 38-Story Tower

Miami’s Building Department has officially issued a site work permit for the 2900 Terrace project in Edgewater, marking a key milestone for the anticipated luxury rental development. The permit, granted to Coastal Construction, signals the start of physical work on the site located at 2900 NE 2nd Avenue.

This is the second permit approved for the property, following a tree removal permit that was issued on April 30. While groundwork begins, a master construction permit for the project’s primary tower remains under review. That process has been underway since April 2024.

Once approved, 2900 Terrace will rise 38 stories and bring 324 oversized apartment residences to the growing Edgewater neighborhood. Designed with spacious living in mind, units will feature large walk-in closets and great rooms, with most floor plans also offering a dedicated study or den.

In addition to the residential component, plans call for 8,000 square feet of full-service restaurant space and 8,000 square feet of retail, reinforcing the project’s mixed-use appeal. Over 500 parking spaces are also planned.

The development is being led by Oak Row Equities and LNDMRK, both known for their forward-thinking contributions to Miami’s urban landscape. As site work begins, all eyes are on the progress of the main tower permit as the next step in bringing 2900 Terrace to life.

Luxury Living Meets Artful Design at NoMad Residences Wynwood as Construction Progresses

Construction is moving steadily forward at NoMad Residences Wynwood, the highly anticipated nine-story condominium project located at 2700 Northwest 2nd Avenue in Miami’s Wynwood Arts District. The latest progress includes near-complete exterior work, bringing the structure closer to the aesthetic vision originally presented in architectural renderings. The project is especially notable as it marks the first-ever residential concept by the globally recognized NoMad Hotels brand.

Developed by Related Group in collaboration with Tricap, the building was designed by acclaimed architecture firm Arquitectonica, with interiors curated by DesignAgency and lush landscaping from Naturalficial. Once complete, the project will deliver 329 fully furnished residences—from studios to two-bedroom floorplans—designed to embody the artistic, boutique-hospitality sensibility that defines the NoMad name.

Recent aerial images from Beauchamp Construction showcase the building’s striking façade, which now reflects the original design vision. The primary frontage along NW 27th Street features a sleek, flat façade with a bold interplay of white and black stucco, balanced by gray accents that line balcony interiors and add texture and contrast. The rear façade, facing NW 27th Terrace, is composed of recessed bay volumes that enhance depth and introduce a play of shadow and light across the structure.

Soft curved design motifs can be seen throughout, helping to soften the building’s boxy silhouette and adding a refined sculptural character. Bronze-toned vertical trim elements are being applied, offering a rich, metallic contrast against the neutral palette. Meanwhile, GM&P Consulting and Glazing Contractors, Inc. is finalizing balcony glass rail installations.

The building’s engineering was overseen by Johnson, Avedano, Lopez, Rodriguez & Walewski Engineering Group, Inc., with JGR Construction, Inc. managing the shell construction phase.

At street level, progress is also visible along NW 2nd Avenue and NW 27th Street, where storefront framing and sidewalk reconstruction are currently underway. NoMad Residences Wynwood will offer an impressive array of lifestyle amenities, including a rooftop restaurant and bar, resort-style pool, and curated artwork from the Jorge M. Pérez Collection—all carefully crafted to mirror the creative energy of the surrounding neighborhood.

With a projected delivery in Q4 2025, sales remain robust: over 80% of residences are already under contract. This success speaks to the sustained appetite for branded luxury residences in one of Miami’s most walkable, culturally vibrant districts. As the exterior work nears completion and interiors begin to take shape, NoMad Residences Wynwood is well on its way to becoming a standout address in the Miami residential market.
