Our sources report that two developers have broken ground on a mid-rise hotel in Miami Beach. The Dolce by Wyndham Miami is a five-story venture offering 90 rooms, occupying a 15,000-square-foot property that once hosted a 36-unit condo, which has been demolished.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has officially approved the height of 848 Brickell, a 51-story Class-A office and retail development in Miami’s Brickell neighborhood. Planned by Key International in collaboration with Sterling Bay, the project has been given the green light to rise 764 feet above ground, or 775 feet above mean sea level. This approval, issued on September 5, 2024, marks a significant milestone for the development designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM).
The Shops of Sunset Place, which was built in 1999, has become mostly vacant in recent years. Currently home to a movie theater, 40 apartments, and some office and retail space, the venture could soon find new life as a massive, mixed-use venture. The revitalization, known as “Sunset Place”, would span 1.47 million square feet amongst nine high-rise towers.
Plans have been submitted for potentially redeveloping the Whale & Star building in Miami’s Wynwood Arts District into a mixed-use project. The site is located at 2215-2237 Northwest 1st Place, 175 Northwest 22nd Street, and 170 Northwest 23rd Street, and spans 37,822 square feet. Currently, the property contains 27,406 square feet of commercial buildings, which would be demolished under the proposal.The city’s Wynwood Design Review Committee has approved the plans, which are now set to be reviewed by the Urban Development Review Board (UDRB).
The Graham Cos. is shifting plans for a multi-family housing development in Miami Lakes. Previously, the developer secured a zoning approval for a senior living facility on the 9.5-acre site. Now, it hopes to move forward with the Lakeside apartments, which would offer 220 units in four four-story buildings.
