Construction is progressing on The Standard Residences, Brickell and LOFTY Brickell, a pair of high-rise residential towers rising side by side along the Miami River in the heart of Brickell. Both designed by Arquitectonica, the 45-story Standard tower will yield 422 residences, while the adjacent 44-story LOFTY Brickell will deliver 363 units, being developed by Newgard Development Group in partnership with Two Roads Development. Standing approximately 530 and 540 feet tall, the towers are rising concurrently and are joined by a shared podium, which will house parking and amenities. At 99 SW 7th Street, GT McDonald Enterprises oversees construction for both projects.
Recent construction photos from mid-March highlight the steady rise of The Standard Residences, Brickell and LOFTY Brickell, two adjacent towers underway at 99 SW 7th Street. LOFTY, located on the northern portion of the site along the Miami River, and The Standard, fronting SW 7th Street to the south, are progressing in tandem. With KD Construction of Florida leading as the shell contractor, core wall construction appears slightly more advanced on The Standard, with LOFTY close behind. Decking at the time of photography had reached approximately the tenth floor on The Standard and the sixth floor on LOFTY. Two tower cranes frame the development site, and the shaping of the concrete slabs reveals early signs of the buildings’ anticipated curvilinear designs.

Amazing to finally see everything Florida YIMBY has been reporting on for years, with actual construction photography rather than just renderings. Another very interesting project along the river.
Happy to finally capture construction photos and share them here!
Yes, a totally better viewing experience. Keep up the good work, Oscar.
Love this project..Miami skyline looking awwwwmazing..
Newgard and Two Roads are in the entire deal together, both Lofty and Standard. The article says Lofty is being developed by Newgard alone and that is incorrect.
Just corrected it.
Gorgeous! All the new buildings in the new Miami River Project are impressive. G. T. McDonald always delivers quality, and the designs here match his standards.
