Downtown 6th: Melo Group’s 58-Story Tower Takes Shape in Miami’s Urban Core

Vertical construction is now in full swing for Downtown 6th, Melo Group’s striking 58-story residential tower rising at 46 NE 6th Street and 530-550 NE First Avenue in the heart of Downtown Miami. Designed by Melo Architecture and G3AEC, with De Los Reyes Engineering Inc. as structural engineer, the tower will reach an impressive 574 feet above ground (587 feet above sea level), encompassing over 1 million square feet of space. The development will feature 824 luxury apartments, 2,500 square feet of ground-floor retail, and 640 parking spaces within a concealed garage, along with a ninth-floor pool deck offering skyline views.

Strategically positioned just west of the College North Metromover Station and adjacent to the historic Christ Fellowship Church, the project benefits from seamless connectivity and a prime urban location. Melo Contractors Corp leads as general contractor, with L&R Structural handling shell construction.

Construction Progress in High Gear

Recent updates reveal rapid advancement beyond the foundation phase, with vertical formwork now towering above street level. The podium structure is taking shape, particularly at the southwest corner, where new concrete slabs and perimeter walls will integrate with neighboring developments, including Melo Group’s Downtown 5th twin towers and the nearby Okan Tower.

Key highlights from the site:

• Shear walls and structural columns ascending floor by floor
• Reinforcing steel and formwork prepped for upcoming concrete pours
• Scaffolding and temporary supports framing the concealed parking garage
• Two Morrow tower cranes dominating the skyline, flanked by staging areas and construction materials

A Hub of Urban Growth

The project sits amid a dynamic wave of development, surrounded by prominent towers such as:

• Okan Tower
• 501 First
• 600 Miami Worldcenter

Its prime location ensures walkable access to major transit hubs, including the Metromover, Metrorail, and Brightline station, making it a magnet for urban professionals and investors.
