700 N. Miami Avenue Site at Miami Worldcenter Construction Update
New York-based developer, the Witkoff Group, is steadily working to change the Miami Arena’s former location. The thriving Miami Worldcenter’s premium real estate is getting ready to welcome three towers rising 57 stories tall.
Recently, Witkoff signed the utilities deal for the site at 700 N. Miami Avenue at Miami Worldcenter. The expected total for the connection fees for utilities and the Biscayne Basin Sanitary Sewer Special Connection fee is $2,085,466.50 and $1,265,004. Alex Witkoff signed the contract on behalf of the construction company, WG 700 North Miami LLC.
The signing of the utility deal and obtaining FAA height approvals for the towers are significant steps in the development process, even though Miami’s Building Department has yet to get construction licenses for the project.
On this large-scale undertaking, Monroe Capital, based in Chicago, is working with Witkoff Group. The location, which is within the confines of Northwest 8th Street, Northwest 1st Avenue, and North Miami Avenue, was previously slated to become the Marriott Marquis Miami Worldcenter Hotel & Expo Center, but is now in line for a dramatic overhaul. This includes the development of three imposing structures that could rise as high as 685 feet. Nichols Architects created the design.
The proposal promises a diverse mix of apartment buildings, shops, and dining establishments. With the utility agreement signed the 700 North Miami Avenue project is preparing for its vertical construction phase, marking an important step in the redevelopment of the former Miami Arena site.
This mixed-use project will undoubtedly become a landmark addition to Miami’s skyline due to its massive scale, prominent location, and reputation of its development and design team. It will also undoubtedly play a significant role in future developments at Miami Worldcenter.

Introducing Perigon’s Two Story Luxury Penthouse
New developments are popping up everywhere throughout Miami but one of the most opulent new construction towers in Miami Beach stands out from the crowd with the unveiling of its new penthouse at The Perigon.
Penthouse West is a $37 million residence situated over two levels and is the first penthouse to be unveiled at the new condominium project. Four bedrooms, five bathrooms, and expansive living areas are housed in 5,685 square feet of inside space, while an outside sanctuary is made up of an additional 6,487 square feet. The residence, positioned atop the contemporary 17-story tower, also offers magnificent views of the beach, the Atlantic Ocean, and the developing Miami cityscape.
Designer Tara Bernerd, renowned for her ultra-luxury work on single-family houses, yachts, and condo buildings, created the interiors of the building, including the penthouse. She used organic fabrics that go well with the stone, wood, and glass components as well as high-end finishes throughout the entire building.
The 22-foot ceilings in the double-height great room, one of the home’s many remarkable design features and amenities, steal the show. This space, which leads to a wraparound terrace, serves as the residence’s focal point. Here, Bernerd employed materials including Italian walnut, European white oak, and honed white marble with a subdued color scheme. With its high-end highlights and designer touches for occupants who are decor-conscious, the light-filled penthouse has the air of a five-star resort. Additionally, each room has a private terrace area and an en suite bathroom with a luxurious soaking tub.
Penthouse West is known for its indoor-outdoor lifestyle, and in addition to the various outside terraces, there is also a private, manicured rooftop. The landscapes featured in the facilities of the property and the garden in the penthouse were both designed by Gustafson Porter + Bowman, the same company in charge of the landscaping around the Eiffel Tower. The house also boasts a sundeck, a sunken 30-foot infinity pool, a full outdoor summer kitchen, and outdoor dining.
More than 20,000 square feet of amenity space are available to residents of The Perigon, including a breakfast and sunset lounge, a residents-only private restaurant, and a speakeasy run by chef Shaun Hergatt, a veteran of Michelin-starred establishments. Additionally, there is a cabana-equipped oceanfront pool, a terraced fitness center, a private salon, a screening room, a kids’ play area, and a pool room.
Vivo! Entertainment at Sweetwater Mall to Open Summer 2023
Thanks to a sizable new entertainment complex that combines popular national hotspots and a little bit of hometown Cuban flair, Miami’s Dolphin Mall is getting a little makeover.
Vivo! Dolphin Mall, a 62,000-square-foot dining and entertainment area, is slated to debut this summer at the Sweetwater Mall, which already contains a movie theater and a bowling alley. It is the creation of Live! Hospitality and Entertainment.
The new venues will make use of a vacant structure and be situated next to the Cheesecake Factory and the parking lot at the entrance to the mall.
Vivo! will feature Sports & Social, a restaurant, bar, and sports viewing venue with three bars, live music, and other entertainment. On game days, a 50-foot LED screen with fan live cameras, competitions, and music and lighting effects can display many games and matches while also having arcade games, foosball tables, and other amenities.
James Beard candidate Chef John Suley, who will handle lunch, dinner, and brunch options, will curate the cuisine. Consider beef barbacoa tacos, cacio e pepe arancini, crispy kataifi-wrapped shrimp, and truffle mushroom flatbread. A sandwich with Nashville spicy chicken will also be available.
PBR Cowboy Bar is located right next to the enormous sports bar concept and may be unfamiliar to Sweetwater. The lack of cowboy and country music-focused bars in Miami, according to Judy Moore, senior vice president of Live! Hospitality is what makes the location ideal. The entertainment ranges from mechanical bull riding to VIP bottle service.
The Blue Moon Garden Bar and a Miller Light Bar will serve beverages, and Miami classics like croquetas and pan con lechon will be available from neighborhood star Sergio’s Cuban American Kitchen. There will also be a variety of food trucks at the plaza, according to Moore.
Vivo! Dolphin Mall is located at 11401 NW 12th Street in Miami and will open this summer.

A modern fitness center, a wine cellar, and an outdoor kitchen and bar lounge are just a few of the exclusive Signature Collection building features. The price range for these villas will start at $2.875 million to $6.3 million. Later this year, construction is slated to begin, and it will likely be finished by the end of 2024.
