Lalezarian Properties Releases Renderings for New Towers at Miami Worldcenter
The entire vision for Miami World Towers, a massive mixed-use project slated to drastically transform Block E within the 27-acre Miami Worldcenter complex in downtown Miami, has been revealed in new renderings and site plans. This project, which consists of four buildings and is expected to further transform the Miami skyline, was created by Nichols Architects with Kimley-Horn serving as the landscape architect. Miami World buildings LLC, an associate of Lalezarian Properties, is the project’s developer.
The recently released designs and images feature a 25-story North Tower, a 68-story South Tower, a 68-story West Tower, and a 557-unit East Tower, The East tower is presently under construction. It is anticipated that these new towers will add about 2,137,110 square feet of space, including 2,040 residential units, amenities, and 810 extra parking places. The four towers will produce 2,600 residential units and 3 million square feet of space. On September 20th, Miami’s Urban Development Review Board is scheduled to examine the proposal.
According to the renderings by Nichols Architects, the four-tower complex will be extremely dense and take up nearly the entire block. The facades will vary and include Miami’s first examples of many architectural styles. Tower 3, despite being significantly taller, follows the same design aesthetic as Tower 1. It has floor-to-ceiling glass windows, elegant silver aluminum frames, and glass balcony handrails that enhance the façade while subtly highlighting the superstructure’s distinctive wave-like concrete balcony slabs. This beautiful mix highlights the tower’s characteristic exterior curves, giving the impression that the edifice is moving.
On the other hand, Tower 2 introduces a series of white diagrid aluminum-clad columns for both its 25-story and 68-story tower facades, featuring diamond-shaped patterns between the columns, various chamfering edges, sections of staggered slabs, and glass curtain walls. This design is reminiscent of the Foster + Partners-designed, 46-story Hearst Tower in New York City, as well as an office tower Hines has planned for their Miami Worldcenter site.
The Miami World Towers’ units will come in a range of floor plans, with sizes from 380 to 1,286 square feet and comprising studios, one-bedroom, one-bedroom with a den, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom designs. The majority of amenities will be located on the 14th floor, while rooftop pools can be found on levels 65 and 66 of the two larger towers.
Miami World Towers, which strategically places more than 2,000 residential apartments close to a number of Metromover and Metrorail stations, adds to the city’s urban appeal by providing inhabitants with easy access to Miami’s enormous public transit system. The property includes 2,994 square feet of commercial space on the ground floor, which adds to its attraction by enhancing the streetscape and promoting a lively pedestrian environment.
Additionally, the proposal places a high priority on pedestrian connectivity by constructing a publicly accessible promenade that effortlessly directs people from NE 8th Street to the opulent lobby of Tower 2. The Miami Worldcenter Promenade is accessible to locals and guests via this lobby connection that extends to a pedestrian paseo. This ground-breaking promenade, created especially for pedestrians, connects Biscayne Boulevard and the larger Miami Worldcenter Area in a busy east-west corridor, further enhancing the project’s role in encouraging vibrant urban interactions.
Dolce & Gabbana Partners with 888 Brickell on 90-Story Residential Tower
Dolce & Gabbana debuts its first real estate project in Miami at 888 Brickell Avenue in Downtown Miami. Designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana ‘selected’ the condominiums, which come in several marble selections and colors.
Michael Stern, CEO and founder of the developer JDS Development Group stated that the involvement of the fashion house in residents’ daily lives will go beyond the structure of the one- to four-bedroom condos and/or the building’s opulent amenities. Instead, each of the 259 homes will have a full “curation” of everything inside.
The three color schemes include: white with Bianco Striata Marble, black with Nero Marquina Marble, and gold with Giallo Imperiale Marble.
According to Stern, the homes include “very elaborate marbles, amazing light fixtures… and an incredibly luxurious palette.” People have a lot of freedom to make from the options for their units.
The building was designed by Studio Sofield, the same company that also worked on notable projects like New York’s rail-thin Steinway Tower, and depictions show opulent details like Venetian chandeliers and freestanding bathtubs in front of expansive ocean views.
The company’s CEO, Alfonso Dolce, indicated that the ultimate objective is to become “ambassadors of ‘Made in Italy’ in the world” and to expand “the perimeter of the company’s activities with a view to an all-round lifestyle experience.”
The amenities that are often found in high-end buildings, such as restaurants, bars, fitness centers, shared offices, and conference rooms, will be available to 888 Brickell residents. Additionally, there is a 4,000-square-foot pool deck with a 44-foot pool and views of Miami Beach, Biscayne Bay, and the Atlantic Ocean.
The most luxurious condos will cost more than $35 million, with prices starting at about $3.5 million.
Dolce&Gabbana is not the only luxury brand investing in Florida in this way. Bentley and Porsche, two Volkswagen Group-owned car companies, have also built towers along the state’s coastline, while Armani provides residents with access to a private beach from its skyscraper.
Meanwhile, the number of fashion industry leaders opening branded hotels throughout the world has increased recently. Examples include Bulgari, Versace, and Roberto Cavalli. They do this by drawing on their well-established aesthetics and identifiable designer brands.
New Residential Tower Announced in Brickell
Chicago-based developer Focus has recently released renderings for a new 39-story residential tower in Brickell. The abandoned Starlite Motel land in Brickell is where the residential tower will be built. The Starlite Motel has already been demolished in preparation for construction.
On August 30, Miami-Dade County received the zoning and general plan applications. The project is being approved through the county’s Rapid Transit zoning procedure, which has grown to be a popular substitute for the City of Miami approval procedure. From a pre-application submission on August 4, renderings have been revised. Gensler is the architect.
Development Information:
517 residential units
8,282 sq. ft. of ground floor
indoor/outdoor and rooftop amenity space
506 parking spaces
According to a letter from the developer, the project also has cross-block connectivity on the ground floor via a driveway and walkway on the west side of the property, which will enhance both vehicular and pedestrian circulation inside and outside the development.
New Restaurants to Open at Miami Worldcenter in 2024
The long list of tenants at Miami Worldcenter, a $6 billion, 27-acre mixed-use complex remaking the center of Downtown Miami, will grow by four national food and beverage concepts.
A dual-concept location for BurgerFi and Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza & Wings has been signed by the development’s ownership group, as well as leases with Serafina, an internationally renowned Italian restaurant group founded in New York City; Sixty Vines, a sustainable restaurant with an exciting wine-on-tap program and food inspired by vineyards.
The development’s exceptional lineup of recently opened food and beverage outlets, which already includes three concepts from Michelin-starred Chef Michael Beltran of Ariete Hospitality Group’s Brasserie Laurel, Chug’s Express, and El Vecino Cigar & Cocktail Bar, as well as two more eateries anticipated to open soon, Earls Kitchen & Bar and Chicago’s Maple & Ash, will be strengthened by the development’s newest restaurants, which are anticipated to open in 2024.
The 300,000 square feet of retail, dining, and entertainment space at Miami Worldcenter, one of the largest privately owned and developed urban real estate developments in Florida, complement the diverse mix of residential, commercial, and hospitality uses that it offers. Approximately 84% of the retail space in the property is leased. In collaboration with CIM Group, Miami Worldcenter is being built by master developers Miami Worldcenter Associates, headed by Managing Partners Art Falcone and Nitin Motwani.
Ten city blocks make up Miami Worldcenter, which is next to Museum Park, home to the Frost Museum of Science and Pérez Art Museum Miami, Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts, and Wolfson Campus of Miami Dade College. Miami Worldcenter is the largest and best-connected transit-oriented development in Florida thanks to its proximity to Brightline’s MiamiCentral station, which provides direct train service to Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, and Orlando and access to Tri-Rail, the Metromover, and the Metrorail.

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.

The company includes architectural designers and top-tier certified architects that provide knowledge of Japanese construction and interior design for people looking for a home that simply redefines attention to detail.
