The Federal Aviation Administration has approved two 43-story towers in Downtown Miami. The project in question is 222, also known as Namdar Towers, an approximate 1.3 million-square-foot mixed-use development planned for a 1.26-acre assemblage at 222 Northeast 1st Avenue. Designed by Behar Font & Partners with De Los Reyes Engineering, Inc. as the structural engineer and developed by Namdar Group, plans for the project call for 1,394 residential units, 7,984 square feet of ground floor commercial space, 336 vehicles parking spaces, and racks for 1,394 bicycles.
