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.
The St. Regis Residences, Miami, a 50-story residential tower at 1809 Brickell Avenue on the Biscayne Bay waterfront in South Brickell, is now under construction. A groundbreaking ceremony for the development was held on the morning of November 21, featuring 152 bespoke residences—including penthouses, sky villas, and two stand-alone garden villas. The project offers a rare opportunity to experience the timeless elegance and five-star services synonymous with the St. Regis brand. Coastal Construction is overseeing the build, with completion expected in 2027.
Fortune International Group and Château Group have broken ground on The St. Regis Residences, Sunny Isles Beach, which will be the tallest residential towers on the ocean in Sunny Isles Beach at 750 feet, positioned along 435 linear feet of pristine beach. Designed by the visionary architecture firm Arquitectonica, the residences boast interiors envisioned by acclaimed São Paulo-based designer Patricia Anastassiadis and landscape design by EDSA, offering the unique opportunity for an elevated lifestyle in one of South Florida’s most sought-after destinations. Coastal Construction will lead the construction of the project. The eagerly anticipated South Tower, the first to be completed, will showcase a collection of 175 luxurious residences.
