Shelton, a Turkey-based developer with completed projects in Bodrum and Ankara, is planning its first U.S. venture in North Miami. First reported by Floridian Development, the project, called Shelton Miami, is proposed for 1998 NE 135th Street along Little Arch Creek and will rise 11 stories with 18 residential units. Designed by Kobi Karp Architects, the building will stand 121 feet tall and introduce large-format residences to the area.
On September 18, the North Miami Planning Commission reviewed the proposal and offered recommendations, with final approval still to be determined by the City Council. The development exceeds the lot’s allowable density of 8.8 units, or 25 units per acre, and requires a Conditional Use Permit to allocate nine additional units from the city’s density pool.

Residences will be luxury-oriented, averaging around 3,000 square feet. The building’s layout will provide two five-bedroom homes per floor from levels three through eleven. According to the developer, “Shelton Miami offers the ultimate in seaside living. With its private pier and boat services, it provides an experience akin to a yacht club. In a region like Miami, where supply is low and demand is high, these limited-edition residences promise an exclusive lifestyle. Shelton Miami is not just a living space but also a high-yield investment opportunity.”
Planned amenities include a private pier, swimming pool, sauna, steam room, and gym. The ground floor will accommodate 38 parking spaces through mechanical lift systems, a solution that eliminates the need for ramps and allows the second floor to house the lobby and amenity areas. Mechanical parking lift systems have become increasingly common in Miami developments seeking to maximize efficiency on constrained sites.
The exterior will be composed of white stucco, frameless glass railings, wood paneling, fluted stone accents, and expansive glazing.
