New Development in Overtown Receives FAA Approval, Paving the Way for Innovation

New Overton Tower Receives FAA Approval
New Overtown Tower Receives FAA Approval

Last week marked a significant milestone for Overtown, a neighborhood poised for transformation, as the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) greenlit a groundbreaking development project. This ambitious initiative, planned to span multiple blocks, promises to reshape the area’s landscape and inject a new vibrancy into the community.

The development, meticulously designed to harmonize with the neighborhood’s dynamic, encompasses four distinct structures strategically positioned along Northwest 2nd Ave, bordered by Northwest 11th St, Northwest 10th St, and Northwest 9th St. This strategic location is not just a testament to the project’s scale but also its potential impact on the area, signaling a new era of growth and opportunity for Overtown.

Historic Overtown Partners, LLC, the entity behind this visionary project, received the FAA’s approval letter, marking a crucial step forward in the development process. The company, which shares an address with the renowned developer Terra, is at the forefront of this initiative. Further cementing the project’s solid foundation is the involvement of Lion Development, an affiliate recognized as a manager of the company in state records, showcasing a robust partnership poised to drive the project to success.

The FAA’s approval highlights the project’s adherence to stringent safety and regulatory standards, with the tallest structure approved to reach a height of 162 feet above ground, or 173 feet above sea level. This approval not only underscores the project’s ambitious scope but also its commitment to integrating seamlessly into the urban fabric while respecting the surrounding environment.

At the heart of this development is the proposal for the Technology Arts Media Innovation Building, a collaboration between Terra and Lion. Situated near the newly approved FAA site in Overtown, this building is envisioned as a beacon of innovation and creativity. It aims to serve as a hub for technological advancement, artistic expression, and media innovation, reflecting the project’s broader goal of fostering a vibrant, forward-looking community.

Miami’s Urban Development Review Board has given the green light to Overtown Block 19, a 25-story mixed-use development slated at 1159 Northwest 1st Court in Overtown.

The approximately 275-foot-tall building, which was designed by Nichols Architects with Witkin Hults + Partners serving as the landscape architect, is being developed by RNG Overtown LLC in Morganville, New Jersey. It will have 606,942 square feet of space divided between two towers connected by a podium, including 413 multifamily units, about 20,000 square feet of ground-floor retail, and 505 parking spaces.

The property is surrounded by Northwest 11th Terrace, Northwest 1st Court, NW 12th Street, and NW 1st Avenue and is part of Block 19 of the Alice Baldwin Subdivision. Within the Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Agency (SEOPW CRA) section of the city, the site consists of unimproved land.

The land is a part of a 1.16-acre Transit Oriented Development District (TOD) that spans from 1129 to 1159 Northwest 1st Court and 105 to 113 Northwest 11th Terrace. It is located four blocks north of the Overtown/Lyric Theatre Metrorail Station and south of Interstate 395.

Aluminum and clear glass window walls, smooth off-white, green, and light blue painted stucco reinforced masonry walls, and cast-in-place concrete wall projections make up the outside facade of the structure. The building’s pedestal will have panels with wood patterns, aluminum and glass storefront systems, art murals, and horizontal aluminum louvers. The balcony slabs will have dark metal railing systems.

As it combines cultural arts, produces sustainable jobs, promotes the neighborhood as a destination for culture and entertainment, and enhances the quality of life for Overtown inhabitants, Overtown Block 19 complies with the Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA Redevelopment Plan.

Construction jobs, long-term jobs for on-site facility maintenance, and commercial use will all be created by the project, which also includes artwork by a local artist to activate the facade and raise cultural awareness in the neighborhood.

David Beckham has made good on his promise to bring Major League Soccer back to Miami. Earlier this week at an event held at the Adrienne Arsht Center, Beckham and his partners were awarded with an MLS franchise, making it official that MLS soccer would return to Miami. The team will begin play in 2020. Home games will be played at a temporary site until the permanent stadium is ready in 2021. The $200 million privately-funded stadium will seat 25,000 fans in an airy and open concept, with Overtown being the current site of construction. Jorge Mas – one of the team’s co-owners – said that there are plans to include a fan plaza outside the stadium, as well as a “March to the Match” along the Miami River – giving fans a unique fútbol experience in the heart of Miami.

The team’s name and colors will be unveiled in the coming months with input from fans. An upcoming social media campaign will invite fans to suggest the team name, colors, logo, and jersey design – giving Miamians control over the look of their new franchise.
