Miami’s Review Board Approves New Construction Development in Overtown- Block 19
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.

Avra Estiatorio Opens Second South Florida Location at Lofty Brickell
Avra Estiatorio, a Greek eatery with a Manhattan origin, will open a second location in South Florida at the newest residential tower, Lofty Brickell.
Restaurateurs Nick Tsoulos, Nick Pashalis, and Marc Packer, the partners behind the upscale brand, have secured a lease for the bottom level of Brickell’s Lofty condo complex by Newgard Development Group.
The 15,000 square foot, 15-year contract, which has the possibility to be extended, can seat up to 300 patrons and a 3,000 square foot outdoor seating space with views of the Miami River. The triple net asking rent was $150 per square foot.
Once Lofty Brickell is complete, Ava Estiatorio will open. Only 1,500 square feet of retail space remain at the Lofty property after the Avra lease.
The first Avra Estiatorio restaurant debuted in New York’s East 48th Street in 2000. Now, the restaurant has three locations: two in Manhattan and one each in Beverly Hills.
Approval Pending for Construction on 10 Story Residential Tower in Miami Beach
An application has been submitted for design review approval to build a new 10-story mixed-use building at 6940 Abbott Avenue, the location of a former BellSouth office and parking lot that is no longer in use in the North Beach neighborhood of Miami Beach. The application was filed by 6940 North Beach LLC, a joint venture between entities controlled by Rainer Viete, Jose Boschetti, and Eduardo Otaola.
The 130-foot-tall structure will feature 134,573 square feet of space, including 96 multi-family units, 21 of which would be co-living units, 2,192 square feet of ground floor retail, and 90 parking spaces. It was designed by Arquitectonica with Biscayne Engineering serving as the land surveyor and civil engineer.
Unit floor plans include studio, one, and two bedrooms. The regular size units would be between 550 and 1,250 square feet, while studio units (co-living) will be between 403 and 437 square feet. A cafe, fitness facility, pickle-ball court, and a lap pool will all be on the rooftop.
The traffic engineer is David Plummer & Associates, while the landscape architect is Christopher Cawley Landscape Architecture. The interior of the building will be thoroughly illuminated by natural light thanks to the use of grey glass windows and a glass railing. Mixing these materials will produce a striking, modern appearance that blends nicely with the nearby North Beach neighborhood. A stunning concrete frame with spherical motifs grouped in a bond-like pattern wraps around all elevations of the residential component of the building, emphasizing its distinctive form.
The development organization has also offered hurricane-proof impact windows, passive cooling systems, resilient planting, a study of the elevation of the property and the elevation of neighboring properties, and a recycling or salvage strategy for partial or complete deconstruction. To integrate the loading and parking driveways, they also ask for a waiver. The granting of this waiver will enable the project to be better designed while still adhering to the TC-C district’s development restrictions and without the requirement for variances. The project’s anticipated construction cost is approximately $14,692,224.
Exclusive: Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen’s Indian Creek Waterfront Mansion Construction Update
After 13 years of marriage, Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen announced on Oct. 28 2022 that they officially divorced putting a pause on construction of their 5,000+ square foot teardown located on Indian Creek.
The Billionaire Bunker residence on Indian Creek Island was originally purchased by the couple in 2020, but their divorce was only finalized in late 2022. The estate, which sits atop a plot of land in the “world’s most exclusive municipality,” is arguably the most noteworthy of Tom Brady’s residences. It is one of just 34 properties with waterfront views of Biscayne Bay that are offered across 300 acres in South Florida’s Atlantic region.
The house was one of the nicest in the world, and Tom and Gisele were planning to live there forever with their kids, Benjamin Rein and Vivian Lake Brady. Although they are no longer together, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback has reportedly continued to develop and refurbish the property, according to The Daily Mail(opens in new tab).
Aerial images recently obtained by the British publication reveal that “production has advanced dramatically” since its initial inspection of the house in September 2022. To begin with, Tom and Gisele demolished a 5,772-square-foot house with the intention of building a contemporary, eco-friendly mansion on the property.
Gisele, a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Environmental Program since 2009, knew she had to build an eco-friendly home.
Together with solar panels, an organic garden, a yoga deck, a cabana, and a sizable outdoor kitchen, the new estate will also contain these features.
Gisele Bündchen bought a lavish Florida home that is situated directly across the water from Tom’s mansion as he continues to develop. She also covertly paid $1.3 million for a cottage in Florida, which she began to remodel last year. Billionaires Bunker is close to her new residence (likely convenient for co-parenting with her former husband).
Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, and billionaire businessman Carl Icahn are some of the other noteworthy residents. Whenever building is finished, Tom Brady will live next to Icahn.
