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.
Developer Mast Capital has completed the largest mat foundation concrete pour in Brickell this year for Cipriani Residences Miami, marking a significant milestone in constructing the brand’s first North American ground-up residential project. The pour, spanning approximately 16 hours, involved 11,500 cubic yards of concrete and 2,500 tons of reinforcing steel, making it the largest recorded along South Miami Avenue, a primary corridor in Miami’s Brickell district. Moss Construction led the effort, coordinating over 50 team members and 750 concrete truckloads.
Moss Construction marked a pivotal moment in the transformation of Brickell’s skyline with the groundbreaking of Mast Capital’s Cipriani Residences Miami on February 13. This event heralds the rise of what is set to become Brickell’s tallest edifice, reaching an impressive height of 950 feet above ground level. Designed by the esteemed Arquitectonica with interiors by 1508 London., the development will tower over 1420 South Miami Avenue as an 84-story, nautical-inspired skyscraper. It is slated to house a collection of 397 residences featuring lavish penthouses complete with private pools.
