YIMBY recently checked in on the progress of the Moxy Wynwood under construction at 255 Northwest 25th Street in Wynwood, Miami. The 120-room boutique hotel, the second for Marriot’s Moxy Hotels brand in Miami-Dade County, is designed by Kobi Karp Architecture & Interior Design Inc. and is being developed by a 50/50 joint venture partnership between real estate investment firm Dolphin Capital Partners and hotel development and management company Baywood Hotels under the Wynwood Hospitality Holdings LLC. Craft Construction Company LLC is serving as the general contractor for the 12-story structure, alongside JGR Construction, Inc. as the structural contractor.
YIMBY recently stopped by The Tampa EDITION Hotel & Residence, a 27-story mixed-use building at the recently completed first phase of Strategic Property Partners’ 56-contiguous-acre Water Street Tampa mixed-use development, addressed as 500 Channelside Drive (Hotel) and 1000 Water Street (Residence). The project was designed by Morris Adjmi Architects alongside Nichols Architects as the architect of record and contains 38 luxury residences and a 5-star, 172-key hotel with interiors appointed and curated by Roman and Williams via Ian Schrager’s EDITION luxury lifestyle brand. Suffolk Construction served as the general contractor for the 319-foot-tall tower, which completed construction earlier this year.
New renderings have been revealed for 6701 Collins Avenue, a two-towered mixed-use development currently in the planning stages and set to become the replacement of the former Deauville Beach Resort in North Beach, Miami Beach. Designed by renowned architect Frank Gehry of Gehry Partners, LLP and developed by New York’s Related Companies, the development firm behind the $25 billion Hudon Yards complex, the transformative project calls for two similarly designed towers rising as high as 375 feet and comprising a 175-key high-end hotel and a residential component with 150 luxury condominiums. The development gained approval from the Miami Beach City Commission in July, and will now be considered for approval by North Beach residents in the next referendum on November 8, in which Related has asked for zoning changes to increase height and density.
