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.
Fisher Brothers has topped off construction on Wynhouse Miami, an 8-story mixed-use development located at 2200 Northwest 1st Avenue in the heart of Miami’s Wynwood neighborhood. This construction milestone, achieved by national contractor Suffolk Construction, brings the project closer to opening its doors in Q1 2025. Designed by Nichols Architects with interiors by ID & Design International (IDDI), Wynhouse Miami will deliver 308 rental residences, approximately 26,000 square feet of ground floor retail and paseo space, and nearly 25,000 square feet of expansive indoor and outdoor amenities.
