Subdivisions in Miami, FL

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.

Oak Row Equities has broken ground on 2600 Biscayne Boulevard, a 41-story tower in Miami’s Edgewater neighborhood that will offer a mix of multifamily residences and office spaces. Coastal Construction Group is tasked as the project’s general contractor. The design is spearheaded by the internationally acclaimed architecture firm Arquitectonica, with interiors by Portland-based Vida. The building’s design will incorporate an original elaborate mural by artist Derrick Adams, displayed on the western portion of the facade visible from multiple neighborhoods. The project has successfully pre-leased half of its commercial space and has obtained a construction loan of $181 million from Bank OZK, reflecting the project’s significant scale within South Florida’s real estate landscape.

2600 Biscayne comprises an entire city block and is conveniently located one block from the planned Northeast Corridor rail stop. The tower features 187,000 square feet of prime office, retail space, and 399 luxurious studio to three-bedroom (plus den) rental residences. With exceptional design, ample private outdoor space, modern finishes, stunning views, and state-of-the-art amenities, these residences will rival new condo construction homes.

The residential portion of the tower will begin 135 feet above the ground, ideal for residents looking for the quintessential Miami view.  Multiple levels of residential amenities include a pet spa, private lounge, yoga studio, and top-of-the-line fitness center. A wraparound 12th-floor amenity deck will have a lap pool, cold plunge, hot tub, well-appointed cabanas, and BBQ grills. The tower’s 41st floor will feature a coworking lounge and rooftop deck with some of the best views in Miami.

Residents will enjoy a seamless arrival experience via a dedicated residential porte-cochére with lush, covered waiting areas for ride shares. 2600 Biscayne will have EV charging stations and over 600 parking spaces for added convenience.

2600 Biscayne will be Gold Certified National Green Building Standard. The tower’s offices are almost 50% pre-leased and will be located on the first ten floors within a sculptural pyramid-like structure. Office tenants will have access to touchless entry points and elevators to easily divisible floor plates with 14’ ceilings. There will be floor-to-ceiling glass throughout the spaces, private tenant balconies, and a wide range of indoor and outdoor wellness-focused amenities.

Outdoor amenities exclusive for the office tenants include a landscaped rooftop terrace, exclusive padel court, open-air seating, covered picnic areas, an outdoor wellness and yoga deck, and more. Inside, there is a dedicated business lounge, private meeting areas, conference rooms, and an entertainment room with a golf simulator.

Vehicular arrival for office tenants will be via a private porte-cochére and a designated lobby. Dedicated valet and tenant parking will be available along with 24/7 security and access.

Edgewater offers lifestyle amenities such as the lush eight-acre Margaret Pace Park, and robust retail and culinary options. Wynwood, Midtown, and the Design District are moments away. Whole Foods and a Northeast Corridor rail station will be within blocks upon completion. Miami International Airport, I-95, Miami Beach, and Brickell are easily accessible from Edgewater.

A site work permit has been issued for 2900 Terrace in Miami’s Edgewater neighborhood. The city’s Building Department approved the application on May 18. Coastal Construction is listed as the contractor, with Ortus Engineering as the permit runner. The permit follows an earlier tree permit issued on April 30. A master construction permit for vertical development remains under review, having entered the approval process in April 2024.

The project, developed by Oak Row Equities and LNDMRK Development under the 2900 Terrace Owner LLC, is planned as a 38-story, 380-foot-tall rental tower at 401 Northeast 29th Terrace in the Edgewater neighborhood featuring 324 apartment units. The residences will be larger than typical multifamily units, including walk-in closets, expansive great rooms, and, in most cases, a study or den. The building will include 8,000 square feet of full-service restaurant space and an additional 8,000 square feet of ground-level retail. More than 500 parking spaces are planned.

Arquitectonica is serving as the design architect. The design team also includes Vida Design Inc. (interior design), Aquadynamics Design Group Inc. (pool and water features), Landscape Design Workshop (landscape architecture), and De Los Reyes Engineering (structural engineering). NV5, MG Engineering | MGE Unified Technologies, Paramount Consulting and Engineering, LLC, Schwebke-Shiskin & Associates, and Power Design, Inc., is providing additional consulting and engineering support.

The 2900 Terrace project adds to the ongoing development momentum in Edgewater, one of Miami’s most active submarkets for high-density residential construction. The tower will join a growing skyline of residential buildings reshaping the neighborhood along Biscayne Bay.

Urban Network Capital Group (UNCG) and Vertical Developments have filed plans for a condo-hotel development to be reviewed by the city’s Urban Development Review Board on January 17. The project, strategically located between Miami Design District and Edgewater, involves a 19,292-square-foot site at 445 and 455 Northeast 36th Street and extends to 3618 and 3630 Northeast. Fifth Ave. Currently occupied by four small apartment buildings, the site is conveniently positioned south of Interstate 195 along the exit ramp.

In September, Residences at 5th Avenue LLC, an affiliate of UNCG and Vertical Development, purchased the property for $13.5 million. The proposed plan envisions a 27-story structure designed by Miami-based Kobi Karp Architecture & Interior Design with KEITH as the civil engineer and landscape architect, spanning 175,557 square feet, featuring 180 hotel rooms, 7,290 square feet of retail space, and 121 parking spaces, including vehicle lifts and 24 electric vehicle charging stations.

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. Showcasing contemporary architecture, the building is meticulously designed to harmonize with and enhance the evolving aesthetic of the Edgewater area. 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.

The project prioritizes pedestrian engagement and urban vibrancy, particularly at the bustling intersection of NE 36th Street and NE 5th Avenue. It achieves this through the thoughtful placement of spaces encouraging foot traffic and interaction, enhancing the street-level experience for residents and visitors. This contributes to the lively urban fabric of the neighborhood. The overall architectural vision blends modernity, functionality, and community-centric design, reflecting a deep understanding of the area’s developmental trajectory and the needs of its inhabitants.

The hotel’s accommodations will vary, with room sizes ranging from 393 to 2,127 square feet. The layout includes 17 studios, 85 junior suites, 51 one-bedroom suites, 20 two-bedroom suites, three three-bedroom suites, and four four-bedroom suites, with the larger units located on the upper floors.

Ytech has secured a $19.5 million predevelopment loan from Israel Discount Bank for two parcels at 41 and 75 Southwest 15th Road, dubbed 41 and 75 Broadway, in Miami’s Brickell neighborhood. The combined 0.3-acre site, situated two blocks west of Brickell Avenue and across the street from Mast Capital’s Cipriani-branded luxury condo complex, is set to become home to a new ultra-luxury condominium development.

Demolition of the existing single-story multifamily building and two-story office structure, dating back to the late 1940s and 1950s, is underway. According to property records, Ytech, led by CEO Yamal Yidios, assembled the parcels between 2018 and 2020 for $8.2 million.

Details of the new project at 41 and 75 Broadway remain under wraps. However, the secured financing and demolition progress signal momentum for Ytech as it expands its luxury residential portfolio in one of Miami’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
 

Miami’s Urban Development Review Board has unanimously approved 7737 Northeast 2nd Avenue, an unnamed 12-story mixed-use development in the city’s Little River neighborhood. Designed by ODP Architecture & Design, with Kimley-Horn serving as both the landscape architect and civil engineer, and developed by Little River Cedar Property Owner, LLC, an affiliate of Chicago-based developer Cedar Street, the 159-foot-tall structure will contain over 200,000 square feet of floor area. This space will include 188 residential units, approximately 7,668 square feet of ground-floor retail space, and 289 on-site parking spaces. Osborn Engineering is the structural and MEP engineer, while SLS Consulting is the life safety consultant.

The approved design skillfully interprets Miami’s architectural vernacular, infusing it with an industrial flair that marries the city’s vibrant spirit with a contemporary aesthetic. The structure is a modern interpretation of the city’s traditional typologies, exemplified by its refined geometry, a balanced palette of colors and materials, and the inclusion of industrial elements like exposed steel beams, raw concrete surfaces, and large windows. This blend creates a unique visual dialogue between Miami’s historic architectural roots and a bold, modern industrial sensibility.

With an elegant articulation of form, the building presents a commanding presence. Its façade is a thoughtful composition of neutral-toned stucco and expansive glass, accentuated by the strategic use of red stucco that adds a touch of warmth and character, particularly on the upper levels. Black balcony handrails on the neutral and red-toned elevations inject a sharp contrast, enhancing the design’s visual depth and contemporary feel. The pronounced perimeter columns stand out as a design feature, punctuating the building’s height and diffusing the mass of the shell superstructure. This interplay of color and structure nods to Miami’s rich architectural tapestry and a modern branding element that captures the eye.

In a departure from Mediterranean-style arches seen in the previous design, the ground level of the building adopts a more contemporary approach with rectilinear forms and storefront glazing. This modern reinterpretation lends the building a sleek and updated appearance, aligning with the clean lines and geometric precision that characterize the structure’s overall design language.
The visible side of the parking garage is effectively masked by a grid of reddish-hued panels, creating a cohesive visual link with the building’s upper sections. Positioned between pronounced concrete columns, these panels are patterned with geometric shapes that allow for ventilation and a glimpse into the structure while maintaining an orderly aesthetic. The garage façade’s interplay of light and shadow, provided by the recessed placement of panels, adds depth and a modern texture that resonates with the building’s overall design ethos.

The apartments, ranging from 467 to 2,068 square feet, offer a variety of layouts, including studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, two-bedroom with den, two-bedroom with loft, three-bedroom, and three-bedroom with loft configurations. Studio units span 467 to 747 square feet, one-bedroom units from 638 to 866 square feet and one-bedroom with den from 862 to 1,041 square feet. Two-bedroom apartments measure between 1,110 and 1,335 square feet; two-bedroom with den between 1,289 and 1,402 square feet; two-bedroom with loft from 1,878 to 2,068 square feet. Three-bedroom units range from 1,346 to 1,594 square feet, with three-bedroom plus loft units at approximately 1,430 square feet. Complementing the living spaces, amenities include a landscaped deck with a pool and spa, a fitness center with a sauna, and a suite of additional interior amenities for residents’ enjoyment.
