The Related Group, one of South Florida’s most active condo developers, and Merrimac Ventures, led by the Motwani Brothers, have teamed up for the development of The Crosby, a 31-story residential tower announced to rise at 601 North Miami Avenue within the 27-acre Miami Worldcenter complex. The project is comprised of 450 fully furnished units ranging between 350 square feet to 825 square feet, configured in studio, one-bedroom and two bedroom floor plans; over 22,000 square feet of amenities and 4,000 square feet of ground floor commercial space. Residences at The Crosby will have no rental restrictions, meaning owners will have the option to offer their units as short-term rentals. Miami Lakes-based Cohen Freedman Encinosa & Associates, the architect behind the 43-story Caoba tower, is leading the design with New York City-based AvroKO named as the interior designer.
The development site is specifically located on the northeast corner of the intersection between North Miami Avenue and Northeast 6th Street, made up of two parcels of land spanning 24,000 square feet which was acquired by Miami First LLC, the joint venture between Related and Merrimac, for $12 million back in December 2021. At 31 stories, YIMBY estimates the structure will likely range between 290-feet to 320-feet in height, based on the standard 9-foot ceiling heights plus any additional enclosures or crown features built above the roof level. The project will sit directly across the street from the 70-story Okan Tower site at 555 North Miami Avenue and south of Caoba at 698 Northeast 1st Avenue.
“The sales launch of the Crosby comes during a period of immense activity for Miami’s real estate market, with downtown Miami one of the key beneficiaries,” said Nick Pérez, senior VP of Related. “Buyers are looking for multiple ways to live and invest, and the Crosby allows them to do both within the city’s most notable address, Miami Worldcenter.”
