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.
Swiss-Italian global cruise line MSC Cruises and Italian shipbuilding company Fincantieri Infrastructure recently broke ground at PortMiami on North America’s upcoming largest cruise terminal capable of berthing three next‐generation cruise ships simultaneously and turning around 36,000 passengers a day. Located at the eastern most end of Dodge Island, along Port Boulevard, the new 4‐story, 492,000-square-foot, state‐of‐the‐art terminal will become an instant architectural wonder and Miami landmark. Designed by Miami‐based Arquitectonica led by visionary Bernardo Fort-Brescia, the terminal projects a powerful wave-like, flowing profile that takes advantage of the length of the site.
