Hyatt and Gencom Proposed 3 Tower Development

Hyatt and Gencom have recently formed a partnership with the goal to redevelop downtown Miami’s Hyatt Regency into a 3 tower development site located directly on the Miami River. This development is expected to enhance access in and out of the city, and revitalize a major section of Miami’s riverfront.

The proposal calls for a privately funded makeover that includes a reinvented Hyatt Regency hotel with over 1,500 residential apartments, meeting space, and open-air public space along the Miami River.

Three skyscrapers are planned for the site. 682 multifamily apartments, a 615-room Hyatt Regency with over 100,000 square feet of conference space, and 264 serviced apartments will be housed in Towers 1 and 2, which will rise 61 stories.

Tower three, which is expected to have 860 residential units, will be one of South Florida’s highest structures dubbing it a supertall tower. According to a spokesperson of the joint venture, the supertall tower would be 1,049 feet tall, which is the highest height allowed by Miami’s zoning standards.

The towers will be above a podium structure with 190,000 square feet of Class A conference space, which is a 50 percent increase over the James L. Knight Center’s current capacity.

Tower Proposal

  • 1,806 apartments
  • 20,000 sq. ft. of co-working space
  • 615 rooms under the Hyatt Regency hotel brand
  • 190,000 sq. ft. of meeting space
  • 12,000 sq. ft. of food and beverage/retail space
  • Restaurant and lounge located in a skybridge linking the two shorter towers just 700 ft high
  • 50,000+ sq. ft. of public space
  • 1,100 parking spaces
  • Rebuilt riverwalk spanning 480 feet
  • Covered pedestrian bridge connection to Metromover’s Knight Center Station

Arquitectonica is listed as the architect. Construction on the Hyatt Regency Miami property is planned to begin in 2025 if voters approve the project in November 2022.

Plans Submitted in Miami for S-Shaped Mixed Use Tower

S-shaped Proposed Construction Tower in Miami

In 2018, plans for a 60-story mixed-use project located at 1370 NE 2nd Avenue in Edgewater was proposed. The proposal was expected to bring 100,000 square feet of office space, 1,100 residential units made up of condos and rentals, and 1,100 parking spaces. The developer, Cresent Heights purchased the land in March 2017 for $64 million but the project came to a standstill.

Now, alternative plans for the site have been submitted that still would include a large mixed-use complex. The developer for this project will still be Cresent Heights and they will be combining the $64 million dollar property with land owned by the School Board of Miami-Dade.

The 1.13-acre development site will be designed by Rafael Viñoly Architects and the towers themselves will take the shape of an S. The project will include 1,441 residential units, 100,000 square feet of office space (dedicated offices for the School Board of Miami-Dade County), auditorium, 19,673 square feet of office space for Cresent Heights, 5 levels of amenities, and nine levels of parking. The towers will rise 43 stories reaching 649 feet tall.

Amenities:

  • bowling alley
  • indoor basketball court
  • indoor lap pool
  • indoor running track
  • management office on the ground floor
  • 9 parking levels (3 public, 6 restricted)

The developer has chosen to have the proposal reviewed by Miami-Dade County under the Metromover Subzone Zoning Standards. The move permits them to avoid the more stringent planning, zoning, and design approval required by the City of Miami.
