Another supertall skyscraper has been proposed for Miami, this time at 888 Brickell Avenue in the city’s Financial District. Prominent New York City-based developer JDS Development Group and restaurant and hospitality company Major Food Group are teaming up to develop Major, a 1,049-foot-tall mixed-use development with the goal of building “the most luxurious residential tower in the world”. The building would rise on a 22,568-square-foot lot at the southeast corner of Southeast 10th Street and Brickell Avenue, and would replace an existing 7-story office building built in 1972. Plans for the supertall include developing 259 condominiums, hospitality spaces, and various restaurants and clubs.
New York City-based architecture firm Studio Sofield is mentioned as the design architect for the tower and interior designer for the lobby and residences; San Francisco-based Ken Fulk would design the food, beverage, and club spaces. The development is projected to yield approximately 1 million square feet, but no floor count is known as of yet. Nonetheless, it would occupy a prime piece of real estate in Brickell and take it’s spot in Miami’s rising skyline. Miami’s current tallest building, the 862-foot-tall Panorama Tower is a block away from the property, and is about two blocks away from the 724-foot-tall 830 Brickell office tower currently under construction. The Tenth Street Promenade Metromover Station is the nearest form of public transportation

JDS Development Group is reportedly under contract to purchase the property from Alphatur N.V. Corporation led by Mashud Mezerhane , which has been in the hands of the Mezerhane family since around 1984 according to property records. JDS is also developing the 773-foot-tall, 2.5 million-square-foot 1 Southside Park just a few blocks away at 145 Southwest 12th Street. Other notable projects in their portfolio include Brooklyn’s first supertall skyscraper, the Brooklyn Tower standing 1,066-feet, and the world’s thinnest supertall at 111 West 57th Street – the 1,428-foot-tall Steinway Tower.
This project would be the first of it’s kind for Major Food Group, who had wanted to enter the residential real estate market after dedicating much of it’s 11 year existence developing high end restaurants in multiple cities such as New York City, Las Vegas, Tel Aviv, Hong Kong, and several locations in South Florida. The company has made a shift to South Florida following the midst of the pandemic
