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.
The Horizon Group has broken ground on 9900 West, a residential development at 9900 West Bay Harbor Drive along the Indian Creek waterway in Bay Harbor Islands. This 8-story boutique condominium, designed by Frankel Benayoun Architects, aims to provide waterfront living with private boat slips. The development will offer 23 fully finished residences, including expansive two- to four-bedroom homes with additional den/home office spaces.
Fortune International Group, in collaboration with Blue Road, has officially announced the groundbreaking of Nexo Residences, a 15-story condominium project offering full home-sharing capabilities at 13899 Biscayne Boulevard in North Miami Beach. Designed by Frankel Benayoun Architects Inc. with consultation from internationally-renowned architect Carlos Ott, and common areas, residential interiors, and landscaping curated by Urban Robot, the development features 254 fully furnished residences, giving homeowners complete discretion over their usage. Prices start from the mid $600s, offering a range of options from studios to four-bedroom townhomes, from 531 to 2,190 interior square feet. Nexo Residences, exclusively marketed by Fortune Development Sales, is expected to be completed in 2026.
