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.
The Federal Aviation Administration received applications for permits to assemble two towers cranes for the construction of 575 Rosemary, a 21-story mixed-use tower to be developed at 575 South Rosemary Avenue in West Palm Beach by New York’s Related Companies, encompassing over 500,000 square feet of new construction including 364 state-of-the-art luxury residences, ground floor commercial space and parking. The project is designed by Boston-based Elkus Manfredi Architects and Omaha-based Leo A. Daly with Meyer Davis leading interior design. The new structure will rise in the heart of The Square, an upscale Mediterranean and Venetian-themed mixed-use complex owned by Related, offering residents easy access to the best of West Palm Beach’s local arts, culture and wellness programming, as well as entertainment and shopping corridors in the downtown area.
