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.
Reservations have launched for The Perigon, a 17-story ultra-luxury condominium development set to rise at 5333 Collins Avenue along the stretch between Indian Creek and the Atlantic Ocean on the sands of Miami Beach. Designed by Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas, founder of internationally acclaimed firm OMA New York and developed between Miami-based Mast Capital and Miami Beach-based Starwood Capital Group, The Perigon will become one of the most recognizable buildings in the Mid Beach neighborhood and will feature 82 spacious two- to four-bedroom residences elegantly designed by Tara Bernerd & Partners spanning 2,100 to 6,700 square feet. Landscape architecture firm Gustafson Porter+Bowman will surround the development with lush gardens and serene water features.
