An elegant combination of ivory travertine and matte black steel beams will lend the skyscraper its expressly vertical appearance.

— Miami Pre-Construction Condos: Watchlist
Equinox Hotel & Residences by Frank Gehry – North Beach
With a 25% stake in the property, Miami-based developer Terra Group has joined the redevelopment team at the former site of the Deauville Hotel. With plans of reconstructing the 1950s-era Deauville hotel to its former glory, the developer now holds a minority stake in the oceanfront property along with Deauville Associates, led by the Meruelo family.
Previously, developer Stephen M. Ross, the New York-based billionaire owner of the Miami Dolphins, had the fire-damaged hotel under contract with plans to replace it with two ultra-luxury condo-hotel towers designed by New York’s legendary Frank Gehry. The new design was to pay homage to the original Deauville without increasing density. However, with Miami Beach voters rejecting plans in 2022 and no further details mentioned by Terra, the future of the condo tower remains unclear.
Fort Partners Purchases Condo Dev Site – Surfside
Fort Partners paid a total of $60 million this April to close on two development sites next to the Four Seasons Surf Club Residences. The assemblage includes a 25,171-square-foot lot at 8995 Collins Ave. and another 8,250-square-foot parcel across the street.
Under contract for several years, the site is already approved for an 11-story building with 19 units. Designed by Kobi Karp Architects, the oceanfront building would range from 2,550 to 9,195 square feet. A pool was proposed for the lower levels.
Urbin Miami Beach to be Auctioned – South Beach
With Federal Judge Jacqueline Becerra in charge, Location Ventures’ development site for its Urbin-branded condo project at 1234 and 1260 Washington Avenue will be sold at auction. The Coral Gables-based development firm ran into trouble last summer when its CEO, Rishi Kapoor, was accused of embezzling funds and investor fraud.
Foreclosure Action on Dev Site – Coral Gables
Another development site owned by Rishi Kapoor’s Location Ventures is the target of foreclosure action in Coral Gables. The 1.6-acre parcel at 1505 Ponce de Leon Boulevard was to carry an 87-unit condo building with 10,500 square feet of retail. The site will now be foreclosed to pay off a $10 million loan that matured last November.
