Tower Near Arsht Center to Soar Higher Than Initially Planned
Miami’s skyline is about to undergo another transformation as plans for a new tower near the Arsht Center have been formally filed, revealing an increase in height beyond initial expectations. This development signals not only the city’s continued growth but also the adaptability and evolution of urban architectural projects.
According to recent filings submitted on June 6th to Miami-Dade officials for zoning approval, the tower is now slated to rise 30 stories above ground, reaching an impressive height of 353 feet. This significant increase surpasses the earlier projection of 27 stories, standing at 319 feet, as detailed in an April filing by the developer during a pre-application meeting request. The adjustment in height underscores the dynamic nature of construction projects and the iterative process of urban development.
Despite the upward revision in height, one aspect remains constant: the number of dwelling units. The tower is still planned to accommodate 283 units, maintaining its residential capacity as previously envisioned. This continuity ensures that the project retains its intended scale and functionality, providing housing options within the burgeoning cityscape.
Behind this ambitious venture is a dedicated team of professionals committed to bringing the vision to life. 14th Street Miami Investments, LLC spearheads the development, while RSP Architects of Miami lends their expertise as the architect responsible for crafting the tower’s design. The project’s engineering aspects, both civil and traffic, are entrusted to Kimley-Horn, ensuring the structural integrity and seamless integration with the surrounding urban infrastructure. Urban Robot contributes its landscape architectural prowess to enhance the green spaces surrounding the tower, while legal matters and land use intricacies are expertly navigated by Bercow Radell Fernandez Larkin + Tapanes. This collaborative effort underscores the interdisciplinary nature of modern urban development, where diverse skill sets converge to realize ambitious projects.
As plans for the tower near the Arsht Center take shape and surpass initial expectations in height, Miami’s skyline prepares for another striking addition. This development not only reflects the city’s ongoing evolution but also exemplifies the collaborative spirit driving urban innovation. With a dedicated team and meticulous planning, the tower is poised to become a prominent feature in Miami’s ever-changing landscape, contributing to its vibrant urban tapestry for generations to come.
Exploring the Future: Miami Beach’s Mixed-Use Project Proposal
Miami Beach, renowned for its vibrant culture and stunning beaches, is often a hub for innovative urban development. Recently, the city’s Planning Board has been abuzz with anticipation as they prepare to review a groundbreaking proposal: a five-story, mixed-use project set to transform a familiar landscape.
At the heart of this proposal lies a 30,000-square-foot site, currently serving as a parking lot for the adjacent CVS. However, if approved, this space will soon undergo a dramatic metamorphosis into a 60,000-square-foot marvel of modern architecture.
The project’s focal point will be the introduction of 38,805 square feet of office space, comprising a significant 64.7% of the total area. Complementing this commercial aspect will be 77 parking spots and 3,900 square feet dedicated to commercial use, promising a dynamic blend of work and leisure within the bustling cityscape.
The proposal also envisions a residential component, adding a touch of urban living to the mix. Eighteen townhomes, each spanning 1,980 square feet, will grace the landscape, accompanied by a charming 564-square-foot rooftop amenity deck. Positioned on the lower two floors, these residences will coexist harmoniously with the commercial spaces above, creating a vibrant community within the city’s fabric.
However, the project’s scope extends beyond mere construction – it seeks to honor the city’s rich history while embracing the future. 7410 LLC, the developer spearheading this endeavor, plans to breathe new life into the iconic CVS building, a relic from the 1950s. This revitalization effort will retain the building’s historical significance, preserving its original components for future generations to admire.
The CVS redevelopment is not just about aesthetics; it’s a testament to responsible urban planning. In addition to the 18 residences, the revamped building will offer 25 parking spots, over 8,300 square feet of retail space, and a rooftop pool, transforming it into a multifaceted destination for residents and visitors alike.
One of the most intriguing aspects of this proposal is its commitment to sustainability and preservation. By repurposing existing structures and incorporating green initiatives, the project aims to minimize its environmental footprint while maximizing its impact on the community.
Located at 7401 to 7425 Harding Ave in Miami Beach, FL, 33141, in Miami-Dade County, this ambitious venture represents a bold step towards the future of urban living. As the city’s Planning Board convenes to evaluate this proposal, all eyes are on Miami Beach, eager to witness the evolution of its iconic skyline.
Miami Beach’s mixed-use project proposal embodies the spirit of innovation and revitalization, promising to redefine urban living in the heart of this vibrant city. With its blend of commercial, residential, and historical elements, it stands as a testament to Miami Beach’s commitment to progress while honoring its rich heritage. As the project moves forward, it is poised to leave an indelible mark on the city’s landscape, shaping its future for generations to come.

In the vibrant heart of Miami’s Wynwood Arts District, a new chapter in urban transformation is unfolding. Morabito Properties, led by developer Valerio Morabito, has embarked on an ambitious expansion of their Wyncatcher development, adding another dimension to the dynamic landscape of this iconic neighborhood.
The recent acquisition of an adjacent warehouse at 2150 NW Miami Court marks a significant milestone for Morabito Properties.

From dynamic event spaces to cutting-edge offices and vibrant retail outlets, Wyncatcher II will cater to the diverse needs of Wynwood’s burgeoning community.
At the heart of this development lies a commitment to fostering collaboration and growth. Knotel, a flexible workspace operator backed by Newmark, has already committed to leasing Wyncatcher I, signaling confidence in Wynwood’s future as a premier business destination. With its elegant design and prime location, Wyncatcher I promises to be a magnet for innovation and creativity, offering a home for forward-thinking companies seeking to thrive in Wynwood’s dynamic ecosystem.
Valerio Morabito, CEO of Morabito Properties, encapsulates the vision driving this ambitious project. “Wynwood has evolved into a cultural hub where people want to spend their days,” he remarks. “Wyncatcher will be the community for it all.” Indeed, as Wynwood continues to attract millions of visitors annually, the expansion of Wyncatcher heralds a new era of growth and opportunity for this vibrant neighborhood.

With leading tech companies and top-tier hospitality offerings, Wynwood is a testament to Miami’s dynamism and diversity. And as the neighborhood continues to evolve, projects like Wyncatcher serve as beacons of progress, reshaping the city’s skyline and redefining urban living for generations to come.

This lavish estate boasts an array of amenities, including an outdoor kitchen and a “resort-style” pool, creating an ideal setting for relaxation and entertainment. Additionally, the home features an elevator, wine cellar, state-of-the-art kitchen, media room, summer kitchen, and cabana, embodying luxury and sophistication at every turn. Tyler Herro acquired this modern mansion in December 2022 for $10.5 million, setting a record for the highest sale in Pinecrest at the time of purchase.
Interestingly, Herro’s decision to list his mansion comes on the heels of his four-year, $120 million contract extension with the Miami Heat, signed just two months prior. With an additional $10 million in incentives, Herro’s lucrative deal underscores his value and potential in the NBA, further accentuating the significance of his mansion listing in the context of ongoing trade discussions and personal considerations.
