PALMA’s Vision For The Basel Miami At 205 Southwest 3rd Street

Plans to redevelop the site of an old warehouse at 205 Southwest 3rd Street in Downtown Miami have been in the works for quite some time now. The owner of the property, Blys Plank Inc., a company owned by Sean McCormick, has tapped Jo Palma from renown architectural firm PALMA, currently pursuing the new Joint Government Center In Fort Lauderdale, to design a 36-story mixed-use glass skyscraper called The Basel, which is set to rise in to the skyline and over the Interstate 95. The developer, who’s owned the site since the early 1970’s, looks to bring this project to life through a joint venture, as the property is located within what is deemed as an opportunity zone.

Envisioning The Future Supertalls Of The City Of Miami

In recent years, the city of Miami has seen an influx of proposals for supertall skyscrapers; this supertall is defined as a building reaching the height of 300 meters or greater, or a minimum of 984 feet. Various developers have put together elite teams of architects and engineers to bring the phenomenon to South Florida, yet as of today, none have been constructed. Skyscraper construction is no myth in the area as the city’s skyline is densely packed with hundreds of high rises, and perhaps even some that visually appear to come close to 300 meters, but a legitimate supertall has yet to come to fruition. This could be due to various factors, such as funding or engineering obstacles; maybe in the past the demand wasn’t there. But what we do know is that the FAA, the Federal Aviation Administration, has approved a handful of supertall skyscraper proposals. These are the most recently proposed and approved projects.
