Melo Group has recently expanded the development potential of its property at 1700 Biscayne Boulevard in Miami’s Arts & Entertainment District. The developer is now authorized to construct 2,471 residential units on this property, marking a substantial increase from the previously allowed 1,518 units. This enhancement in development capacity comes from acquiring rights for an additional 955 units from an affiliate of Stiles Corporation, which owns the Publix property across the street at 1776 Biscayne.

As reported by The Next Miami, the transaction included transferring 400,000 square feet of Floor Lot Ratio (FLR) and an impressive 730,000 square feet of bonus FLR from the Publix property to Melo Group’s site. This strategic acquisition of density and FLR rights significantly bolsters the scope of the proposed development project.

In 2021, Melo Group acquired the city block opposite the Omni at 1700 Biscayne for $105 million, laying the groundwork for an ambitious multi-tower development. At that time, the developer unveiled plans to erect four towers, each potentially soaring up to 60 stories. The envisioned project would integrate a mix of apartments, condos, and retail spaces, creating a multifaceted urban hub.

The development project is structured to allocate development rights across two parcels, A and B. Parcel A, measuring 132,313 square feet, is permitted a base FLR of over 2.9 million square feet and a bonus FLR of approximately 1.16 million square feet. On the other hand, Parcel B is smaller at 83,091 square feet, with a base FLR and bonus FLR rights reflecting its size. The additional FLR acquired from the Publix property will undoubtedly play a pivotal role in realizing the full potential of this development.

The conceptual rendering for 1700 Biscayne envisions a striking complex of towers, each exhibiting a sleek, contemporary design. The structures ascend with angular prominence and a harmonious display of linear accents. The base of these structures appears to be activated with glass-fronted spaces hinting at bustling retail and communal areas. Balconies and lush plantings intersperse the facade, blending urban living with touches of greenery, indicative of Miami’s vibrant fusion of culture and nature.

Construction for Phase I is targeted to begin in the first quarter of 2024, with completion anticipated by the first quarter of 2027.

Aetna Realty, a fully integrated New York-based real estate investment company, has unveiled conceptual renderings of a potential redevelopment of 22 East Flagler Street in Downtown Miami. The 1.65-acre property comprises two parcels situated along South Miami Avenue between East Flagler Street and Southeast 1st Street and was once home to a Macy’s and now defunct Burdines department stores. The property boasts over 500,000 square feet of commercial space with its current improvements, which are two 75-year old multistory structures connected via a sky bridge hovering over South Miami Avenue. According to Aetna Realty, the property is primed to become another one of their crown jewels with two soaring skyscrapers spanning 50 to 55 stories.

The renderings reveal to modern towers on each parcel rising from L-shaped multistory podiums.  The western tower appears to be the tallest of the two, potentially the 55-story structure mentioned above, and features a super slender profile with grids of windows on the exterior. The eastern tower looks to be the shortest but largest of the two, as the footprint of that parcel is much larger. This structure has a unique mix of fenestrations on the exterior that’s less uniform compared to the thinner tower across the street.

The development strategy involves acquiring two transfers of development rights from other city property owners to achieve the desired density. The design features a fifth-floor lobby and a rooftop pool deck, offering panoramic views of Biscayne Bay and Miami Beach.

Emphasizing functionality and visual appeal, the structure includes habitable visually engaging and practical spaces, lined with aesthetically pleasing architectural screening. This approach effectively internalizes the loading area, seamlessly integrating it into the overall design while maintaining its sleek appearance.

Developers 13th Floor Investments and Key International are moving forward with their ambitious project at 609 Brickell Avenue in Miami, designed by Sieger Suarez Architects. The First Miami Presbyterian Church, located at this address, had previously agreed to a deal with the developers that could lead to the construction of one of Miami’s tallest and most iconic buildings—an 80-story luxury condo tower on the church’s property.

The Miami-based developers and the congregation have entered into a “transaction and development agreement,” as indicated in a memorandum recorded with Miami-Dade’s Clerk of Court on March 2. The terms of the agreement include the developer’s right to acquire the property, their obligation to construct the project on the property per the agreement, and their obligation to convey the new church improvements to the church after substantial completion. The full terms of the agreement were not made public, with only a memo confirming the existence of the agreement being recorded.

The developing entity is listed as 13K-BP Brickell Owner LLC, with Arnaud Karsenti as the authorized signator for the developer on the memo. The project aims to preserve the main church building while utilizing the land currently occupied by a parking lot and a religious school building at the rear of the property.

The deal, which could have a value of $240 million to the church, includes several benefits for the congregation. The church will be entitled to 90,000 square feet of space in the new building, 148 parking spaces, and a small park as part of the agreement. In return, the church will receive $48 million in cash, 15 percent of condo sales (estimated at $125 million), and a percentage of sales from the ground-floor restaurant.

The 3.4-acre site at 609 Brickell Avenue is one of the last vacant pieces of land in the popular Miami district, where condo units sell for millions. The historic First Miami Presbyterian Church, built in 1949 and designated as a historical landmark in 2003, will remain intact. The church had previously faced financial difficulties, including a $7 million tax bill in 2018 due to using some of its lands for profit.
