A developer has proposed a supertall skyscraper in Miami-Dade County. Walter Defortuna, the brother of Fortune International Group’s CEO, wants to move forward with an 81-story building.
Florida YIMBY has learned of two Miami-based projects: one that has finished construction and another that could break ground next year. Here’s what we know.
Optimum Property Management hopes to get approval for a high-rise tower in Miami-Dade County. Plans call for the demolition of a low-rise apartment complex built in 1960. In its place would rise a 50-story building comprising close to 560,000 square feet of new construction.
Strategic Property Partners LLC (SPP) has announced plans for three new developments within Downtown Tampa’s 56-acre Water Street Tampa (WST) neighborhood. These projects include a residential condominium, an office complex, and an entertainment venue near the Amalie Arena. Slated for an area currently in development north of the 900 and 1000 blocks of East Cumberland Ave, the office and residential towers aim to expand the Water Street corridor. The proposed entertainment hub, north of Amalie Arena between South Morgan Street and South Jefferson Street, plans to house a service hotel, an event parking facility, and diverse entertainment spaces.
Water Street Tampa is set to immerse itself in interactive art with two internationally renowned pop-up installations. Starting next week, Tampa will host the captivating creations of Netherlands-based Studio Roosegaarde: Waterlicht and Dune, thanks to the collaborative efforts of developer Strategic Property Partners and local gallery CASS Contemporary.
