Witkoff Proposed 3 Tower Development at Former Miami Arena Site
Three tower development has just been proposed to the Miami Urban Development Review Board at the site of the former Miami Arena.
In May 2023, developer Witkoff signed the utilities deal for the site located at 700 N. Miami Avenue at Miami Worldcenter.
The original design for the tower showed the tallest out of the three buildings to reach 57 stories tall. This revised proposal states that the three towers will rise 577 feet, 589 feet, and 615 feet with the tallest of the towers to reach 54 stories. The ground floor supermarket was in the original plans for the development but according to the proposal, it is no longer included.
The 700 N. Miami site proposal also includes 30,535 square feet of commercial space, 2,078 parking spaces on levels 2 through 9, and 2,346 residential units. Amenities for the development will include an amenity deck, indoor lounges, rooftop amenities for each tower, and pools for each tower.
Kobi Karp is listed as the architect for the project. The Urban Development Review Board is scheduled for June 21, 2023.
Civica Center Phase II Receives FAA Approval
Civica Center Phase II, a 27-story residential skyscraper planned for construction at 1050 Northwest 14th Street in Miami’s Allapattah district, has received Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approval. The project is being developed by Boston-based The Congress Group and Taurus Investment Holdings, LLC. Kimley-Horn is the civil engineer and landscape architect for the 301-foot-tall building that was created by CUBE3 Architects.
The structure will be able to rise 310 feet above mean sea level or 301 feet above ground level thanks to the building permissions that were acquired. The FAA claims that, under certain circumstances, the planned structure won’t violate obstruction rules and won’t be dangerous for air navigation.
The Civica Center Phase II designs, which were initially intended to be a 22-story office tower, underwent significant revisions after being submitted to Miami’s Urban Development Review Board in December 2022. The original plan was for an office tower with a generous 731,472 square feet of space to be built in place of an existing surface-level parking lot behind the first phase. But the developers adjusted their strategy in reaction to market developments and Miami’s rising demand for residential real estate.
According to the updated Civica Center Phase II plans, there will be 342 residential units, with floor designs ranging from small studio apartments to roomy two-bedroom homes with 552 to 1,240 square feet. Additionally, the construction will include seven parking levels with room for up to 584 vehicles. The design of the 27-story tower features a tasteful blending of white stucco, glass, and architectural components embellished with striking gold alucobond panels. The location of the site is convenient; it is bounded to the north by Northwest 14th Street, to the south by State Road 836, to the east by Northwest 10th Avenue, and to the west by Northwest Highland Road.
Developers for Cove Edgewater Launch Sales
Sales have officially started at the 40-story Cove Miami Tower in Edgewater. According to the developers, it will be a boutique premium condo development with sweeping views of Miami’s whole city as well as Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic Ocean.
There will be 116 residential units at Cove Miami, with 2 to 4 bedrooms. From $1.3 million to above $3.5 million will be the price range.
The UDRB received the plans in October 2022. Plans at the time indicated that the tower would have a top height of 465 feet and include a new baywalk section.
The architecture was created in collaboration with Kobi Karp and Dieguez Fridman, whilst Dieguez Fridman was the only designer of the interiors. The project is being developed in collaboration with Hazelton Capital Group and New York’s SB Development.

New Tower Proposed in Miami-Clear Residences
Clear Residences, a 52-story tower proposal is now being examined by the Miami Planning and Development Department. Located at 130 SE 1st Street, the site itself sits on 0.55 acres or 23,750 square feet, with the current site now being used as parking.
The proposal with a letter of intent was submitted to the review board in December 2022 with Clear Residences featuring 545 residential units, 4,190 square feet of ground floor retail, and 199 parking spaces.
The tower would rise 694 feet tall with Kobi Karp listed as the architect.
The developer is listed as Clear Communities Miami North Limited Partnership, and Bercow Radell Fernandez Larkin & Tapanes is their legal counsel during the approval procedure.
Joseph R. Colletti is listed as the officer for Clear Communities Miami North Limited. Clear Communities originally purchased the site in 2019 for $18 million while obtaining a mortgage for $10 million through the Pacific National Bank in Miami. The price equaled $756 per square foot.
According to the site’s T6-80-O zoning, an 80-story tower could be built there, requiring Federal Aviation Administration height approval.
New Renderings Released for Hilton Hotel Concept at Okan Tower
The projected Hilton Hotel inside the Okan Tower has just released new renderings.
Okan Tower recently underwent thorough piling tests, as required by the city’s building ordinance for extremely tall structures. The pile drilling phase has begun, and the developer declared, after all, the pilings passed their testing successfully. The foundation work’s contractor is named Jacob Companies Inc on permits issued by Miami’s Building Department. Ant Yapi Construction, a Turkish company with a Miami office, and Civic Construction, a Miami-based company, are the general contractors for Okan Tower.
Okan Tower, a mixed-use development with 70 stories and a tulip-shaped design that is destined to become a landmark in Downtown Miami, has revealed a new exterior rendering. The 902-foot towering megaplex, which was created by Okan Group and Behar Font & Partners, is situated at 555 North Miami Avenue at the intersection of Miami’s shoreline, with great dining, entertainment, and culture. A Hilton Hotel will be the development’s focal point, and there will be a variety of upscale facilities available in the homes.
When Okan Tower is finished, it will include more than 900,000 square feet of space, including a 64,000 square foot “Class A” office building, a 316-key Hilton Miami Bayfront Hotel, 163 Sky Residences with amenities solely for owners, 236 Short-Term Rental Residences powered by Hilton Hotels & Resorts, and 236 such residences. The development is slated to grow to be one of Miami’s tallest structures.
According to the architect’s website, the Okan Tower’s delicate profile was modeled after the tulip in honor of the company’s Turkish roots, where the tulip is the national flower.

Miami Riverbridge Project Receives Approval for Construction in Downtown Miami
On May 11, Miami commissioners voted overwhelmingly to accept the waivers required for the reconstruction of the Hyatt Regency in downtown Miami, Miami Riverbridge. This new supertall tower has also seen the release of new renderings.
Estimated to cost approximately $1.5 billion, the project calls for three new towers, two of 61 stories and one 95-story supertall, which would contain over 1,500 residential units, a new flagship 615-key Hyatt Regency hotel and 264 branded serviced apartments, 190,000 square feet of Class A meeting and events space, commercial and retail spaces, over 1,000 parking spaces and 50,000 square feet of open public space including a 480-foot-long rejuvenated riverwalk.
Arquitectonica is the architect of the Miami Riverbridge, which is being built by Hyatt Hotels Corporation and Gencom under the HRM Owner LLC.
The public benefits that the massive project would bring to the site and vicinity were underlined by Miami Riverbridge’s developers. Improvements to the streetscape for a better pedestrian experience and quicker access in and out of Miami’s urban core would relieve the congestion and traffic flow in this area of the city, which is frequently crowded and polluted by traffic.
The developers consented to give $25 million to help fund affordable housing in Miami. The project’s development would result in the creation of 4,500 jobs, with a rise in permanent employment from 350 to 900. Miami RiverBridge would bring in nearly $1.5 billion in city taxes, levies, and ground rent that could be used to expand public benefits throughout the city. Land leasing rent would rise from $250,000 to a minimum of $2,500,000, or 2.5% of gross receipts. A project park impact fee may also be used to pay for the renovation and reopening of the nearby Fort Dallas Park and the preservation of the nearby historic Flagler Worker’s House, which is located on city-owned property.
The convention center and the 40-year-old Hyatt Regency would be demolished to make room for the new complex if the proposal were to be accepted. By 2023’s end or the beginning of 2024, the developers hope to secure financing. The third tower is expected to be completed in Q3 2029, with the first two towers arriving by Q3 2028. Construction is anticipated to start in 2025.
