A developer has proposed a supertall skyscraper in Miami-Dade County. Walter Defortuna, the brother of Fortune International Group’s CEO, wants to move forward with an 81-story building.
Florida YIMBY has learned of two Miami-based projects: one that has finished construction and another that could break ground next year. Here’s what we know.
Optimum Property Management hopes to get approval for a high-rise tower in Miami-Dade County. Plans call for the demolition of a low-rise apartment complex built in 1960. In its place would rise a 50-story building comprising close to 560,000 square feet of new construction.
Construction work is nearing completion as the final touches are underway on Cora, a 23-story residential building located at 1011 East Cumberland Avenue within Phase 1 of the 56-acre Water Street Tampa development. Developed by Strategic Property Partners (SPP), the 283-foot-tall structure will bring 388 high-end rental units to Tampa’s real estate market, featuring thoughtfully-designed interiors by Edit Lab at Streetsense. New York City-based COOKFOX Architects is responsible for the design of the tower along with ODP Architecture & Design as the architect of record.
An area once known for being underdeveloped, filled with parking lots and vacant plots of land, isn now transforming into a sprawling new mixed-use development in the city of Tampa. Developed by Strategic Property Partners, a joint venture between Jeff Vinik, current owner of the Tampa Bay Lightning, and Cascade Investment, LLC, a company owned by Bill Gates, the 16-block $3 Billion mixed-use mega development known as Water Street Tampa is permanently changing the Downtown Tampa skyline with the rise of multiple new buildings.
