Construction has officially started on Alexan at Mills 50, a residential complex in Orange County, Florida. The five-story apartment building will offer 246 apartments, 15 “live/work” units on the ground floor (included in the 246 figure), and a host of other amenities.
On July 20th, this past Wednesday, the Miami Beach City Commission voted 5-1 to move forward with the redevelopment plans of the former Deauville Beach Resort site at 6701 Collins Avenue in North Beach, Miami Beach. New York’s Related Companies, the development firm behind Hudson Hards and Deutsche Bank Center led by Stephen Ross, is leading the redevelopment of the property and has released the first glimpse of the proposed project designed by legendary expressionist architect Frank Gehry with a conceptual model unit presented at the commission meeting. The mixed-use project is to be Equinox-branded, and would comprise a 175-key high-end hotel and 150 luxury condominiums spread across two towers. Miami Beach residents are up next to vote on the fate of this project, and will be asked to approve zoning changes for increased height and density on November 8, 2022.
As it stands, Plantation Walk is a 27-acre mixed-use development that replaced Broward County’s Fashion Mall. The venture currently offers more than 300 apartments. Now, a second phase is in the works, which will add even more residences to the development.

Sidley Austin LLP, an international law firm with almost $3 billion in revenue and 20 offices worldwide, has confirmed that it is opening its 21st office in Miami. Sidley will join the growing roster of world-leading professional services firms and other companies at 830 Brickell, the new 55-story Class-A+ office tower nearing completion in Miami’s Brickell Financial District. Sidley signed a three-floor, 60,000 square-foot lease at the 55-story tower, marking the largest new-to-market office lease signed in the city’s urban core this year. The building, developed in partnership by OKO Group and Cain International, is the first stand-alone Class A+ office tower to be built in Miami’s Brickell Financial District in over a decade and is nearly 70 percent leased ahead of its late-2022 completion.
