Three weeks since our last update, and progress at the YOTELPAD Miami build site has moved ahead significantly. The recent arrival of heavy equipment and materials has transformed the site into a hive of activity, it to not be long now before excavation and shoring gets underway.

The 31-storey, mixed-use condo and hotel tower by Aria Development Group, AQARAT, and Stantec will be the first of its kind on the East Coast. Representing a pioneering foray of the YOTELPAD brand, the Miami development will likely set a new standard for the line.

Located at the corner of NE 2nd St and NE 2nd Ave in downtown Miami, YOTELPAD Miami will place residents and guests within easy walking distance to many of the city's best restaurants, nightclubs, and shops. The project will also be close to several transit options, including the Metromover, and the Bayfront Park waterfront.

The multi-use structure will feature 222 hotel rooms (CABINS), and 231 condos (PADS), which together will bring upwards of 500 residents to the vicinity. Once complete, YOTELPAD will be a fine addition to the core, its Skytop Lounge to be a magnet for residents and hotel guests seeking a good view and a slice of the good life from the top of the Miami skyline. 

SkyriseCities will be sure to return to this project as progress continues. For more information, check out the associated Database file and Forum thread, and as always, feel free to join the conversation in the comments section below.
