Construction Progresses on E11EVEN® Club Hotel & Residences and E11EVEN® Residences Beyond in Downtown Miami

Construction is steadily advancing on the highly anticipated twin-tower development in Downtown Miami’s Park West neighborhood—E11EVEN® Club Hotel & Residences and E11EVEN® Residences Beyond. Rising at 20 and 90 NE 11th Street, these two soaring structures—64 and 67 stories tall, respectively—are reshaping the skyline with a bold mix of luxury living and hospitality-inspired amenities.

Developed by Property Markets Group and E11EVEN Partners, and designed by Sieger Suarez Architects with interiors by AvroKO, the towers are set to deliver a combined total of 1,006 residences—456 units in Phase 1 and 550 in Phase 2. CHM Structural Engineering, LLC serves as structural engineer, while John Moriarty & Associates oversees construction.

A signature skybridge will connect the two towers, granting residents access to shared resort-style amenities, while Club Space, a famed nightlife venue, remains nestled between the two high-rises.

E11EVEN® Club Hotel & Residences (Phase 1) has officially topped off at 700 feet, its 64 stories now dominating the Park West skyline. The majority of the tower’s glass façade is already in place, and exterior finishes are steadily progressing at the podium level. Recent aerial images captured by photographer Oscar Nunez show the tower standing tall, nearly fully enclosed, with the final touches on its curtain wall system revealing a sleek, reflective bluish tint as protective films are removed.

To the east, E11EVEN® Residences Beyond (Phase 2) is quickly catching up. Vertical construction has reached around the 13th floor, with the tower now clearly rising above its podium base. Notably, curtain wall installation has already begun on lower floors, a strong indicator of the fast-paced momentum. A visible cutout in the eastern podium wall of Phase 1 suggests the future location of the amenity bridge that will link both towers.

Both towers will feature an impressive array of hospitality-style amenities, offering residents a lifestyle that fuses luxury, wellness, entertainment, and convenience.

The exterior showcases a muted yet elegant palette of gray and white tones, interspersed with bands of blue-tinted floor-to-ceiling windows and inset balconies. These elements provide depth, texture, and a sense of lightness to the streamlined structure. Select portions of the façade feature textured cladding and framing details, adding a layer of sophistication to the design.

On the ground level, construction fences have been removed, and final touches are being made to the outdoor plaza fronting SW 2nd Avenue. The space will soon feature planters, street trees, and a bold architectural expression marked by robust diagonal columns. Interior buildouts for the residential units and amenity spaces are also nearing completion, signaling an opening date on the horizon.

Located on a prime 1.7-acre parcel at 3101 Grand Avenue, where Grand Avenue meets Matilda Street and Florida Avenue, Ziggurat will introduce a seamless blend of luxury residences, modern office space, and curated retail—all infused with the rich spirit and history of the Grove.

In a move that reflects the project’s deep respect for the neighborhood, the Espinosa family—owners of Grove Laundry & Cleaners since 1961—will partner on the development and return with a new outpost of their beloved business once construction is complete. Their long-standing ties to the Grove help root Ziggurat in the authentic fabric of the community.

“It was essential for us to ensure the project embodies the incomparable spirit of Coconut Grove,” said a representative of the Espinosa family. “We believe we’ve found the ideal partner in Allen Morris Co. to preserve and enhance the Grove’s uniqueness.”

Designed by Oppenheim Architecture, with lush landscape work led by Andres Arcila of Naturalficial, Ziggurat will mirror the natural beauty of the Grove through oolite stone cladding, native materials, and green-filled spaces.

Additionally, the Allen Morris Company and the Espinosa family plan to partner with the City of Miami on improvements to Kirk Munroe Park and Fuller Street, enhancing the civic and pedestrian heart of Coconut Grove.

Summit Brickell Enters Construction Permitting Phase, 65-Story Tower Moving Forward

The highly anticipated 65-story Summit Brickell tower has officially entered the construction permitting phase, signaling a major step forward for the transformative project in Miami’s Brickell district.

A permit application was submitted to Miami-Dade County in late February, and review is now actively underway. Turner Construction has been named as the project’s general contractor, bringing their extensive high-rise experience to the development.

Miami-Dade’s zoning review for Summit Brickell was already completed late last year, clearing a key regulatory hurdle for the project.

Once complete, Summit Brickell will rise to a height of 750 feet, making it one of the tallest residential towers in the neighborhood. The building is set to include 505 residential units, 1,933 square feet of ground-floor retail space, and 500 parking spaces within an internalized garage—an efficient design that maintains a sleek, vertical profile.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has granted approvals for both the tower’s permanent height and a 989-foot temporary construction crane, allowing vertical construction to proceed without delay.

With permitting in progress and all major approvals secured, Summit Brickell is well on its way to reshaping the Brickell skyline.
