Construction Update for Cipriani Residences Miami
In a cityscape that’s constantly reaching for the sky, the 80-story Cipriani Residences Miami construction site in Brickell has its eyes set on new heights, quite literally. Recent filings with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) have lifted the veil on the ambitious plans for the tower cranes that will oversee this monumental project.
According to the filing submitted just last week, the dimensions of these cranes are nothing short of awe-inspiring. The first crane is slated to ascend to a staggering 1000 feet above ground, equivalent to 1003 feet above sea level. Not to be outdone, its counterpart will soar to 980 feet above ground, or 983 feet above sea level.
These towering cranes serve as beacons of progress, symbolizing the monumental task at hand as the Cipriani Residences project takes shape.

Once completed, Cipriani Residences is set to stand proudly at a permanent height of 940 feet above ground, or 950 feet above sea level.

Yet, Cipriani Residences is not a solitary endeavor. It’s part of a larger vision for the area. Alongside the main tower, two additional structures are slated to rise, standing 50 and 60 stories tall.

With such grand plans come meticulous timelines. Completion of Cipriani Residences is projected for the year 2028, promising a new era for Brickell and setting a high bar for future developments in the city.
M-Tower Construction Update: Building Towards Miami’s Future
At a recent gathering hosted by the Miami Parking Authority (MPA), developers of the eagerly anticipated M-Tower provided an insightful update on the project’s progress. Nestled in the heart of Miami, this architectural marvel is set to redefine the city skyline, and the latest developments shed light on the innovative strides being made.
The construction of M-Tower stands as a testament to collaboration between public and private entities. Situated on a blend of MPA land and adjacent private property owned by the developer, this fusion exemplifies synergy in urban development.
A significant milestone was reached with the recent demolition of an MPA garage, clearing the path for the grand ascent of M-Tower. This strategic move underscores the commitment to progress and innovation in urban planning.
In a bid for excellence, the developer has dedicated resources to value engineering, resulting in notable enhancements. The refined façade, enhanced balconies, and increased glazing reflect a dedication to superior aesthetics and functionality.
With an eye towards meeting growing demand, an additional 90 units have been integrated into the design. Emphasizing accessibility, all units will be available for rent, catering to diverse lifestyles and preferences.
In a bid for structural efficiency, an extra floor has been seamlessly incorporated into the design. This strategic addition not only enhances stability but also allows for innovative approaches to construction, such as reduced rebar usage and elevated ceilings.
While the footprint for amenities has been streamlined, the essence of luxury remains uncompromised. Spanning the ninth level, an array of upscale amenities awaits residents, including a lounge, co-working space, poker room, game room, grab-and-go options, pool lounge, pet spa, and expansive gym. Additionally, a dedicated health and wellness area promises rejuvenation with features like a sauna, steam room, experiential showers, and relaxation lounge.
Thanks to meticulous planning and refinement, the revised design circumvents the need for further review by the Urban Development Review Board, streamlining the path to realization.
In a bid for excellence, a private provider has been enlisted for plan review, ensuring adherence to the highest standards throughout the process.
The commitment to excellence is mirrored in the substantial investment made thus far, totaling $17.1 million. This financial dedication underscores the magnitude of the project and the vision driving its execution.

Unveiling the Santander Tower – A Beacon of Innovation on Brickell Avenue
Excitement is buzzing in Miami’s vibrant Brickell neighborhood as plans for the new Santander Tower unfold. With the latest updates surfacing, it’s time to delve into what’s in store for this striking addition to the city’s skyline.
According to reports, the fate of the Santander Tower is still pending, with a final decision yet to be reached. In a significant development, Santander Bank has already taken steps to solidify its presence in Miami’s bustling landscape. The bank secured a lease agreement with Miami Worldcenter for a prime retail space spanning over 4,000 square feet. This strategic move underscores Santander’s commitment to establishing a strong foothold in one of Miami’s premier destinations.
The lease, inked on January 31st, not only marks Santander’s proactive approach but also grants the bank exclusive rights within the retail banking domain at Worldcenter—a testament to the institution’s foresight and strategic planning.
Last week, the Urban Development Review Board delivered a unanimous vote in favor of recommending the new tower’s approval. However, this endorsement comes with a twist—the board proposed the incorporation of shade trees instead of the conventional palm trees at the northwest corner of the property, reflecting a nod towards sustainability and environmental consciousness.
With the demolition permit for the existing 14-story office building nearing approval, the stage is set for the grand entrance of the Santander Tower. Standing tall at 40 stories, with an impressive height of 765 feet above ground and 778 feet above sea level, this architectural marvel promises to redefine Miami’s skyline.
The tower’s ambitious design encompasses 612,918 square feet of top-tier office space, along with 107,953 square feet dedicated to food and beverage outlets—a nod to Brickell’s reputation as a culinary hotspot. Additionally, the inclusion of a multi-level urban club adds an enticing dimension to the tower’s offerings, catering to the diverse needs of Miami’s cosmopolitan populace.
Parking, often a concern in urban landscapes, is addressed with finesse as the tower boasts 1,496 parking spaces—a thoughtful touch that enhances convenience for tenants and visitors alike.
Environmental sustainability takes center stage with the Santander Tower slated to achieve LEED platinum certification—a testament to its eco-conscious design and commitment to minimizing its carbon footprint.
Behind this architectural masterpiece lies the vision of Handel Architects of New York—a firm renowned for its innovative designs and transformative urban projects. With their expertise at the helm, the Santander Tower is poised to set new benchmarks in architectural excellence and urban living.

Transforming Miami: Forum Park’s Vision for Urban Renewal in Ojus
Miami, a city known for its vibrant culture and ever-evolving skyline, may soon welcome a new addition to its landscape: Forum Park. Developers are eagerly awaiting approval for this ambitious mixed-use venture set to transform the Ojus neighborhood. Spanning across 302,223 square feet of new construction, Forum Park promises to inject fresh energy into the area while meeting the diverse needs of residents and businesses alike.
The centerpiece of Forum Park is a striking 11-story building, poised to become a focal point of the neighborhood. With floorplates ranging from 11,600 to 14,500 square feet, this structure aims to redefine modern urban living and working spaces. The building is designed to house 120,000 square feet of office space, spanning from the second floor to the tenth floor, catering to the growing demand for innovative work environments in Miami.
In addition to the office spaces, Forum Park will feature 4,400 square feet of commercial space, offering opportunities for retail and dining experiences that complement the vibrant fabric of the community. Furthermore, the project includes a thoughtful residential component, with 12 one-bedroom apartments housed in a separate two-story building, providing a blend of convenience and comfort for those looking to call Ojus home.
Beyond the main building, Forum Park incorporates an eight-story structure designed to accommodate up to 394 vehicles, addressing the essential need for parking in Miami’s bustling urban environment. Situated on a 1.32-acre site currently owned by Sunny Isles-based Aventura Office Center LLC, the development marks a significant investment in the area’s future. Originally purchased for $7.5 million in 2022 from the CK Prive Group, the site has remained vacant, awaiting transformation into a dynamic urban hub.
The journey to Forum Park’s realization has seen its share of twists and turns. In 2017, CK Prive Group envisioned a mixed-use venture for the site, featuring office condos and multiple mixed-use buildings. However, the project never materialized, leading to the eventual sale of the land five years later. Now, with Forum Group spearheading the initiative, the project is in its pre-application stage, seeking feedback from Miami residents and city officials.
If approved, Forum Park could soon break ground at 18820 W. Dixie Highway, Miami, FL, 33180, marking a significant milestone in the ongoing evolution of Miami-Dade County. As the city continues to grow and diversify, projects like Forum Park serve as catalysts for economic development and community enrichment, embodying Miami’s spirit of innovation and progress.
Stay tuned for updates as Forum Park moves closer to becoming a reality, reshaping the skyline and redefining the essence of urban living in Miami’s vibrant Ojus neighborhood.
