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.
Today, the Development Review Committee of the City of Pompano Beach will consider a major site plan review for Ocean Park Beach Residences, a two-towered luxury residential building proposed to rise 19-stories at 1508 North Ocean Boulevard. Designed by G3aec and developed by Mount Vernon Property Holdings, LLC, an affiliate of Strategic Properties led by founder Tomas Sinisterra, the development is proposed to yield 28 luxury condominium dwelling units and approximately 3,044 square feet of commercial space. The vacant property spans a net 0.62-acres, or 27,045 square feet, and is bound by Northeast 16th Street on the North, North Ocean Boulevard on the West, the La Costa Beach Club Resort on the South and Public Kite Beach fronting the Atlantic Ocean on the East. Pompano Beach-based KEITH is the civil engineer.
