This 81-story mixed-use skyscraper, designed by Studio Sofield with ODP as the architect of record, promises to be a striking addition to Miami’s ever-evolving skyline.
The Dolce&Gabbana Tower, located at 888 Brickell Avenue, is set to rise 1,049 feet, making it one of the tallest buildings in Miami. The skyscraper will house 259 luxury residential units and feature 102,805 square feet of commercial space. The commercial areas will include high-end retail shops, gourmet restaurants, a state-of-the-art spa, and a modern gym. The development, led by JDS Development Group, will also provide 273 parking spaces, reaching the maximum height permitted by the FAA in this part of Miami.
This ambitious project is strategically positioned on the north side of SE 10th Street, just west of Brickell Avenue/US-1, occupying a property that spans approximately 22,568 square feet (0.51 acres). Currently, the site is home to an office building constructed in 1972. The tower’s location offers unparalleled convenience, sitting just half a block from the Tenth Street Metromover Station, making public transportation readily accessible for residents and visitors alike.
Earlier this year, JDS Development Group secured the property for a staggering $61 million, a testament to the high stakes and significant investment involved in this development.
In exchange for project approval, the developer has committed to a substantial public benefit contribution. The Board of County Commissioners approved a Special Exception for a General Development Plan on June 20, 2024, which includes a one-time payment of $1.5 million from the developer. These funds are earmarked for critical infrastructure improvements in the area, including the installation of a new traffic signal at South Miami Avenue and SW 10th Street. Additionally, the funds will support repairs and upgrades to the Tenth Street Metromover Station and its surroundings. Planned enhancements include updates to mechanical systems, restrooms, painting, signage, accessibility features, streetscape improvements, and wayfinding support, all of which will significantly benefit the community.
The Dolce&Gabbana Tower is the result of a collaborative effort involving several key players in the industry. DeSimone is responsible for structural engineering, while MG Engineering handles MEP engineering. The renowned fashion house Dolce & Gabbana is contributing to the interior design, ensuring that the tower’s interiors are as luxurious as its exterior.
SLS is managing code/ADA compliance, while Kimley Horn takes charge of landscape, civil, and traffic engineering.

With its strategic location, world-class amenities, and significant contributions to public infrastructure, the tower is set to enhance the city’s reputation as a global destination for luxury and innovation.

New Edgewater Tower Receives FAA Approval for 637-Foot Height
Edgewater, one of Miami’s most rapidly developing neighborhoods, is set to welcome a striking new addition to its skyline. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has officially given the green light for the height of a new tower planned for the area. According to a determination letter dated August 19th, the FAA has approved the tower to rise to an impressive 637 feet above ground level, or 641 feet above sea level.
The letter was sent to Meridian TC Real Estate Group LLC, the company responsible for overseeing the project. The approved height paves the way for the construction of Edge House Miami, a luxury condominium building that will also allow for short-term rentals—a feature that is increasingly popular in the Miami real estate market.
Edge House Miami is set to be a 57-story architectural marvel, with a design crafted by the renowned architect Kobi Karp. Known for his innovative and contemporary designs, is expected to bring a modern aesthetic to Edge House Miami, further enhancing Edgewater’s reputation as a hub for luxury living.
The developer behind this ambitious project is Peru’s Grupo T&C, a company with a growing portfolio of high-end developments. Their decision to invest in Edgewater reflects the area’s burgeoning appeal, particularly among those seeking upscale residential options with flexible rental opportunities.

Brickell’s Dolce&Gabbana Tower to Fund Transportation Upgrades
In a significant development for Miami’s Brickell neighborhood, the developer behind the highly anticipated 90-story Dolce&Gabbana supertall condo hotel has reached an agreement to fund crucial transit and transportation upgrades in the area. This agreement is a pivotal step in the ongoing review process as the project progresses under Miami-Dade’s Rapid Transit zoning plan.
The Dolce&Gabbana tower, a striking addition to the Miami skyline, is currently under scrutiny by Miami-Dade’s review process, which falls under the Rapid Transit zoning plan. This zoning plan is designed to ensure that new developments contribute to the public good, particularly in areas like transportation and transit infrastructure. The approval of developments within this zone is often contingent upon providing significant public benefits, which in this case, includes a substantial financial commitment from the developers.
On August 13th, a Declaration of Restrictions was officially recorded with Miami-Dade County, outlining the public benefits that will accompany the approval of the Dolce&Gabbana tower. One of the key components of this declaration is a commitment to a $1.5 million contribution from the developer. This one-time payment will be allocated to a series of much-needed upgrades and improvements in the Brickell area.
Traffic Signal Installation: A new traffic signal will be installed at the intersection of South Miami Avenue and SW 10 Street. This upgrade is expected to enhance safety and traffic flow in one of Brickell’s busiest areas.
Metromover Station Enhancements: The Tenth Street Metromover Station and its surrounding vicinity will receive repairs and upgrades. These improvements will include updates to mechanical systems, restrooms, painting, signage, accessibility features, streetscape improvements, and wayfinding support.
Additional Commitments: The $1.5 million contribution will be in addition to any permitting or impact fees that are already due to the County as part of the development process. However, if the County Director determines that any portion of the contribution is duplicative of impact fees, the developer may be eligible for an offset equivalent to the value of those fees.
The agreement was signed by Michael Stern, representing the developing entity. This commitment to improving the infrastructure around the Dolce&Gabbana tower underscores the developer’s dedication to enhancing the community and addressing the needs of Brickell’s growing population.
As the Dolce&Gabbana supertall condo hotel moves closer to realization, this agreement marks a significant milestone in ensuring that the development not only adds luxury and architectural grandeur to Miami’s skyline but also contributes meaningfully to the city’s infrastructure. The upcoming transit and transportation upgrades funded by the developer will play a vital role in supporting the continued growth and vibrancy of the Brickell neighborhood.

Jacob Companies, the project’s general contractor, has been actively sharing updates on the tower’s construction progress. Last week, they posted a series of photos on Instagram that provided a behind-the-scenes look at the ongoing activities at the site. The images captured various stages of the building process, from the installation of rebar to the formation of concrete slabs. The pouring of columns in the site’s northeast corner is visible, alongside significant progress on the south wall.
The construction team, including Okan Construction, Moore Group, Efco Forming, and US American Concrete, is making remarkable strides in the tower’s structural phase. As the year progresses, we can expect to see Okan Tower start to make a substantial impact on the Miami skyline.
Okan Tower’s residential offerings are divided between 163 condominium units on floors 51 through 70, tailored for private residences, and 236 condo-hotel units on floors 36 to 50. These condo-hotel units are designed for short-term rentals, offering all the services and amenities of a luxury hotel. The residential units vary in size, with studios starting at 447 square feet and expansive three-bedroom residences reaching up to 2,183 square feet, catering to a wide range of lifestyle needs.

Located at 9317 Collins Avenue, Ocean House is set to epitomize the Surfside lifestyle with residences ranging from two to five bedrooms.

The vision for Ocean House includes expansive east, south, and west views, meticulously crafted by the celebrated architect Bernardo Fort-Brescia. The interiors, curated by designer Carla Guilhem—known for her work in both yachts and homes—offer sophisticated spaces that seamlessly integrate with the oceanfront setting.
What sets Ocean House apart is its dedication to privacy and tranquility, offering an extensive range of wellness-focused amenities across three thoughtfully designed floors. Residents will find spaces beautifully infused with beach-inspired hues, wooden accents, and natural stone flooring. The development features a rejuvenating spa complete with a treatment room, salon, steam room, and an expansive rooftop pool deck.

Marcelo Kingston, Managing Partner at Multiplan REAM, emphasizes this unique approach: “Unlike the impersonal high-rise developments prevalent in South Florida, Ocean House offers an intimate, exclusive experience. It is a harmonious blend of privacy, architectural brilliance, and unparalleled amenities, designed with the sophisticated buyer in mind. With breathtaking waterfront views, lavish interiors, and a limited collection of residences, Ocean House is a truly exceptional offering within Surfside’s coveted coastline and Miami’s burgeoning luxury real estate market.”

Phil Gutman underscores the project’s unique market position: “Surfside has become the most sought-after market to live in South Florida, the scarcity of either available land or new projects in this area makes Ocean House a true gem in the strong Miami condo luxury market. Our project stands out in this community as a true luxury, boutique development offering buyers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a villa in the sky on the ocean.”
Multiplan REAM has already commenced the demolition of the old Regent Palace Condominium to clear the site in anticipation of groundbreaking, slated for the first quarter of 2025. Ocean House is expected to be delivered in 2027, bringing with it a new standard in luxury living.
“Our go-to-market strategy will be highly selective and focused.

With its visionary design, unparalleled amenities, and prime location, Ocean House is set to redefine luxury living in Miami, offering a rare opportunity for discerning buyers to own a piece of Surfside’s coveted coastline.
