Though Miami's pre-construction condominium market has been struggling lately, with a surplus of unsold inventory indicating a reversal of fortunes in the city's constant boom-bust development cycle, the buildings that are currently under construction show no signs of stopping. With a severe slowdown in skyscraper development potentially looming, Forum contributor PhilipPessar has been savouring and capturing scenes of construction activity across the city.
Set to be the tallest building in Miami when construction wraps up, the 85-storey Panorama Tower at 1101 Brickell Avenue will reach a pinnacle of 253 metres. This mixed-use development by Florida East Coast Realty will contain 821 luxury apartments, 208 hotel rooms, 100,000 square feet of office space, and 500,000 square feet of retail space. Of course, the project will feature a variety of bespoke amenities, including a fitness centre, steam room, spa, interactive water feature, and four pools. Images from the site show the tower's current state and how the balconies form the bulk of the exterior expression.
Another huge skyscraper slated for Miami's revered Brickell neighbourhood is a 64-storey tower with 549 units inside. Designed by Luis Revuelta for CMC Group, the amenity-rich Brickell Flatiron comes with a rooftop pool bordered by a variety of seating options. An additional two-level amenity deck further down the building features a second pool accompanied by a theatre, wine room, and event space. With completion on the horizon in 2019, the building has just pushed above grade.
The massive Miami Worldcenter development will also have a transformative impact on the skyline. Developed by CIM Group in partnership with Falcone Group, the mixed-use development is the second largest urban development project currently being undertaken in the United States, behind only New York's Hudson Yards project. The multi-tower master plan is anchored by a signature tower, PARAMOUNT Miami Worldcenter, which began construction last March.
After breaking ground last October, the two-tower Square Station development by Melo Group has surpassed grade. The 34-storey pair of buildings nestled within the city's Arts and Entertainment District will house 710 apartments and approximately 15,000 square feet of restaurant and retail space. With the Metromover overlooking the site, getting around the city without a car is still feasible. Expect the duo to be delivered in 2018, adding another project with wavy balconies to Miami's building stock.
