Fort Lauderdale has seen an influx of construction projects come to life in recent years; a construction boom cycle so to say. And developers have wasted no time in taking advantage of lucrative opportunities to build as the migration of people to South Florida has created favorable real estate market conditions.
Construction nears topping out on Society Biscayne at 400 Biscayne Boulevard, a 571-foot-tall mixed-use skyscraper in Downtown Miami. Designed by Sieger Suarez Architects, the 49-story tower is one of the most recent to rise along Biscayne Boulevard and amongst the tallest under construction within Miami’s city limits, located near the American Airlines Arena and Bayfront Park, and one block north from the site of the upcoming Waldorf Astoria Hotel and Residences. The developers of the tower are Property Markets Group and Greybrook Realty Partners.
The reinforced concrete superstructure on the first of three towers has reached it’s parapet at Smart Brickell, a 25-story, multi-building complex under construction at 239 Southwest 9th Street in the western section Miami’s Brickell neighborhood. HAC Architects and Urbanists is the design architect with Gensler as the architect of record, and Arquitectonica Interiors is handling interiors. Habitat Group is the developer behind the project.
A 10-story residential building is set to rise at 1445 Northwest 14th Terrace in Grand View Park within Miami’s Allapattah neighborhood. The 97-unit structure would rise at the northeast corner intersecting with Northwest 15th Avenue, on a mostly vacant plot of land that combines lots 9, 10 and 11 on block 4. The site is located within Miami’s Urban Core Zone and is currently zoned T6-12-0. The owner of the property and applications for construction is listed as Modern Miami Property Owner, LLC.
Exterior work is nearing completion on the newly constructed CitizenM Brickell, 277-foot tall hotel in Miami’s Brickell neighborhood. Addressed as 955 South Miami Avenue, the building is designed by Gensler and developed by CitizenM Hotels, a hospitality brand founded by hotelier Rattan Chadha. The 21-story hotel will include 252 lodging units, mostly micro-sized rooms starting at 157 square feet, and up to 4,174 square feet of commercial space at the ground floor.
