Subdivisions in Miami, FL

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.

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.
