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.
Mast Capital and a controlled affiliate of Starwood Capital Group broke ground on The Perigon, a 17-story residential development at 5333 Collins Avenue, noted for its unique position as the only new beachfront condominium project currently under construction in Miami Beach, with completion anticipated for late 2026. Designed by the globally acclaimed architecture firm OMA with ODP Architecture & Design as the architect of record and boasting interiors by Tara Bernerd & Partners, this building will feature 73 private residences. These homes offer expansive views of the Atlantic Ocean, the Miami city skyline, and Biscayne Bay, alongside over 20,000 square feet of unparalleled private amenities and exclusive dining experiences by Michelin-starred Chef Shaun Hergatt. Moss Construction is the general contractor, and Malcolm Drilling is the foundation contractor.
