The second permit is for 530 NE 29th Street which totals 4,590 square feet estimating $25,250.

On both permits, Dade Wrecker Service is identified as the demolition contractor.

The projected height of 710 Edge is 55 stories, or 646 feet (649 feet) above sea level. 710 Edge will include 70 residential units, 193 parking spaces, 16,000+ sq. ft. of commercial and retail, a rooftop helipad, and a public baywalk.

Location Ventures Proposes New Tower in Coral Gables

A 16-story condo development by Location Ventures has officially been given the green light by the Coral Gables City Commission this past Monday.

Location Ventures plans to construct an 87 condo tower on a 1.6-acre plot at 1505 Ponce De Leon Boulevard, as well as at 122 and 126 Menores Avenue. According to the meeting, the project would cost over $350 million and with only 87 condo units, the average price per unit would be north of $4 million.

The new condo would have 319 parking spaces, 10,500 square feet of retail space, and 87 homes in its almost 500,000 square feet. The fourth story would have an amenities deck. A full board room for private meetings, as well as a spa with a steam room and sauna, were among the features listed by Kapoor. Along Mendoza Avenue, there would also be a public dog park located outside the building.

The majority of the condos would have three or four bedrooms, with a few one- and two-bedroom apartments. According to Kapoor, prices would start in the mid $1 million level or roughly $1,000 per square foot.

The site is mostly unoccupied, however, there is a 1925 structure that is 5,736 square feet in size which Location Ventures consented to refurbish and restore that structure so that it might house restaurants.

The owner of Location Ventures, Rishi Kapoor, plans to partner with a high-end luxury brand to market and design the property but no luxury brand has been named in the agreement documents.

Location Ventures anticipates starting construction in late 2023 and starting sales this fall.

As it nears completion later this year, Civic Construction has topped off 830 Brickell, Miami’s first Class A office tower to be constructed in the urban core in more than ten years, at 55 floors (724 feet tall).

In addition, 830 Brickell is the only Class A office tower being constructed in Miami’s Financial District at a time when national and international businesses are relocating and developing there. It was developed by OKO Group and Cain International.

Microsoft, Blackstone, Thoma Bravo, A-CAP, CI Financial Corp., Marsh Insurance, AerCap, and WeWork are just a few of the prestigious tenants that have signed leases on the 640,000 square foot office skyscraper, which is already more than 60% leased. One of the biggest airplane leasing firms in the world, AerCap, obtained a 20,000 square foot lease in February and will be moving its new offices to the entire 50th floor.

An investment company from Canada called CI Financial stated a month earlier that it would quadruple the size of its lease at 830 Brickell, increasing it from the previous 20,000 square feet to around 40,000 square feet for its American headquarters.

To house its Latin American regional team, Microsoft inked a lease for 50,000 square feet in September. Private equity firm Thoma Bravo also negotiated a lease for 50,000 square feet, beginning in the spring of 2021.

In Miami, where the city’s business-friendly atmosphere, quick population expansion, and appealing climate are promoting office investment and development, 830 Brickell is currently the largest office skyscraper under construction. As of June, the active pipeline consisted of nearly 2.4 million square feet of office space spread over 18 sites, according to data from CommercialEdge. The Brickell submarket and central business district saw the most of the construction.

The Brickell submarket and central business district saw the most of the construction.

In a prepared statement, Vlad Doronin, chairman and chief executive officer of OKO Group, stated that 830 Brickell is meeting the needs of prestigious users from all over the world who are drawn to the tower’s new quality of construction, technology, and design-led services.

The $300 million construction loan from MSD Capital, secured in 2019, was used to fund the project, which was created by Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture. Once the COVID-19 pandemic started in 2020, building plans were modified to include the most recent health standards for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems, as well as contactless entrance and exit technologies. Construction started that year.

The property, which will be near the intersection of Brickell Plaza and SE 9th Street, will feature sweeping views of both the city and Biscayne Bay. Iosa Ghini Associati, an Italian architecture and design firm, is creating the interiors of the tower.

Building Amenities:

  • Rooftop bar/lounge
  • Fine dinning restaurant
  • Health and wellness center
  • Conferencing facilities
  • Outdoor terrace
  • Cafes
  • Street level retail

The Metrorail and Metromover, the Brightline, walking and cycling trails, and bay access points are just a few of the close transportation alternatives. Design District, Wynwood, Edgewater, and Miami Beach are just a few of the best residential and lifestyle neighborhoods in Miami that are close by.

Twin Condo Towers Proposed in Aventura

Jeffrey Soffer, CEO of YCM Acquisition LLC, has submitted a site plan to build on a section of the 18.4-acre site located at 19500 and 19735 N.E. 36th Street in Aventura. The current site is comprised of 7.6 acres of buildable land and 10.8 acres of submerged land.

Currently on the site is a marina, a 50-room hotel, a clubhouse, a spa, and tennis courts. The two proposed condos would replace the hotel, eight tennis courts, and a portion of the parking lot that is currently on the site.

The twin towers would be labeled as towers north and south and would rise 24 stories tall. The north tower would equal 398,000 square feet in the first phase of the project, with 145 condominiums, 10 service apartments, and 320 parking spots.

The residential units would range from 1,730 square feet for the two-bedroom floor plan to 4,990 square feet for the three-bedroom floor plan.

The service apartments would be smaller and range from 367 to 638 square feet. These suites would only be for guests of owners and can be purchased by the owners.

Each condominium would have its own pool, exercise facility, and social areas. Two additional tennis courts would also be built in the south tower.

Soffer is making a name for himself in Aventura, first with the Turnberry Ocean Club and a building north in Tequesta and now with this new development.

No dates have been submitted for the review of the proposal. Arquitectonica is the architect for these twin towers.

Miami is Getting St. Regis Branded Twin Condominium Towers

St. Regis Residences in Miami
St. Regis Residences in Miami

The Related Group and Integra Investments are teaming together to transform the beachfront site of an affordable senior living housing facility in Miami into a pair of luxurious St. Regis-branded condo buildings. The towers are expected to rise 48 and 47 stories tall on 3.16 acres on 1809 Brickell Avenue.

The same architect who designed 220 Central Park South and 30 Park Place in New York will be the designer for this twin tower 354 unit development, Rober A.M Stern Architects. The interiors will be designed by the Rockwell Group, a New York-based design firm that is also responsible for NEMA and Treehouse Hotel.

Since 2014, Miami-based Integra has owned the existing bayfront building, formerly known as the Stanley Axelrod Towers. Integra paid $14 million for the 17-story tower currently located at the pre-construction site called the George Humphreys Tower built-in 1966.

According to documents from the Department of Housing and Urban Development withdrew the building from its affordable housing agreement in summer 2021. This implies that one of the remaining affordable housing complexes in Miami’s Brickell Financial District, one of the most expensive districts, will be demolished shortly.

According to a principal at Integra, Nelson Stabile, “Given the insatiable demand for top-tier residential product, we feel the market is ready for a bespoke building of this caliber — a masterpiece with an elevated lifestyle experience that only the iconic St. Regis brand can deliver.”

Units are expected to range from 1,300 to 7,000 square feet with prices starting at $2 million. Throughout the twin towers will span 55,000 square feet of amenities that will include a St. Regis Tea Room, an indoor lap pool, and a residents-only restaurant.

While the building will not include a hotel and short-term rentals will not be authorized, St. Regis Hotels & Resorts, located in New York, will provide services to future condo tenants.

Related and Integra expect a $2 billion sellout once the St. Regis Residences have been completed. The sales center is expected to launch in 2022 simultaneously with the sales. The ground breaking is expected to occur in 3rd quarter of 2022.
