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.
The St. Regis Residences, Miami, a 50-story residential tower at 1809 Brickell Avenue on the Biscayne Bay waterfront in South Brickell, is now under construction. A groundbreaking ceremony for the development was held on the morning of November 21, featuring 152 bespoke residences—including penthouses, sky villas, and two stand-alone garden villas. The project offers a rare opportunity to experience the timeless elegance and five-star services synonymous with the St. Regis brand. Coastal Construction is overseeing the build, with completion expected in 2027.
Palm Beach-based real estate investment firm Frisbie Group and global real estate development firm Hines have officially unveiled South Flagler House, a two-towered 27-story residential development planned to rise at 1315 and 1401 South Flagler Drive in West Palm Beach, Florida. Designed by Robert A.M. Stern Architects (RAMSA), it will be the globally renowned architecture firm’s first luxury residential high-rise in Florida; global design firm Stantec will serve as the architect of record. One of the country’s top agents, Suzanne Frisbie, along with Corcoran Sunshine Marketing Group will exclusively lead sales and marketing. Sales are expected to launch later this year.
