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.
Total demolition permits have been filed for a 10-story commercial building at 700 Brickell Avenue in Brickell, Miami’s financial district. The 190,963-square-foot structure is listed as built in 1971 and has since been used for office purposes with an attached parking garage, occupying an L-shaped 47,610-square-foot lot on the western frontage of Brickell Avenue between Southeast 7th and 8th Streets. The application was created on January 20 and awaits plan acceptance from Miami’s Building Department to begin the review process. Alpha Wrecking Group is listed as the demolition contractor, with an estimated price tag of $1,350,000 for the scope of work.
Construction is ongoing on Palmetto Industrial Park, a $229 million venture taking shape in Manatee County, FL. Florida Construction News reports that the general contractor broke ground in Summer 2022.
