The Coronet 300 (formerly the Smith Empire Building) was constructed in the early 1920s, where it’s risen 11 stories over St. Petersburg for 100 years. Now, the city’s Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) hopes to move forward with demolishing the building and replacing it with a boutique hotel.

Construction has reached a major milestone at Villa Miami, a 56-story waterfront residential tower underway at 710 Northeast 29th Street in Miami’s Edgewater neighborhood. Designed by ODP Architecture & Design with DeSimone Consulting Engineers as the structural engineer, and developed by Terra and One Thousand Group in collaboration with Major Food Group, the 650-foot-tall copper-clad skyscraper has officially completed its concrete foundation pour, setting the stage for vertical construction on what will become one of the tallest buildings along the Biscayne Bay shoreline.

Two developers hope to move forward with a residential venture in Miami-Dade County that would offer workforce housing. The venture, known as Summer Breeze, would offer 192 units in three four-story buildings, with floorplans spanning studio to three-bedroom apartments.

Construction has officially topped off on the second phase of Society Las Olas, a 42-story residential tower at 140 Southwest 2nd Street in Downtown Fort Lauderdale. Developed by Property Markets Group (PMG) in partnership with Toronto-based Greybrook Realty Partners, the 450-foot-tall project marks a major milestone for what is set to become the city’s largest multi-residential development. John Moriarty & Associates is serving as the general contractor, with full completion expected in early 2026.

Construction is anticipated to start on a high-end residential development in Naples. The project, led by Kolter Urban, will comprise two eight-story towers, offering a total of 51 “expansive units.”
