November 2024: Miami New Development and Pre-Construction Condo Update
Dec 17, 2024 December 17, 2024
Miami’s preconstruction condo market continues booming as Newgard and Two Roads launched sales for the second Standard-branded residences in the city. While The Standard Residences Brickell will be a purely residential concept, BLDG Ventures also launched sales for a short-term rental-friendly concept in Coral Way this month.
Further, two landmark towers broke ground in Brickell this November: The St. Regis Residences and The Residences at 1428 Brickell. While the former promises to bring storied hospitality with a waterfront nautical theme to Miami’s financial district, the latter will become the world’s first solar-powered residential tower, and ultra luxury at that.
Read on to find out how Peru-based developer Grupo T&C is expanding its footprint in Miami’s Edgewater neighborhood, along with other exciting updates in our monthly Miami condo pre-construction news roundup for November 2024.

The Standard Residences Brickell – Brickell
Groundbreaking – N/A | Completion – November 2027
With The Standard Residences Midtown nearly sold out and approaching completion, Midtown Development announced the launch of another Standard Residences in Miami’s financial center. This time, the hospitality brand has partnered with Two Roads and Newgard Development to build the 45-story luxury tower. This new tower will be the second of three towers planned for the $1.5 billion One Brickell Riverfront project, the first being Lofty Brickell.
Designed by Miami’s award-winning Arquitectonica, The Standard Brickell will rise 45 stories with 407 luxury residences. Unlike its Midtown location, this riverfront development will not be allowing short-term rentals to protect owner and resident privacy. Units will range from 432 to 963 square feet in size. Goodrich will handle interiors in collaboration with The Standard’s In-House Design Studio, delivering the residences completely finished with porcelain floors and Miele appliances.
Standout amenities planned for Miami’s second Standard Residences include a 45th-floor rooftop pool deck with summer kitchens, a club lounge, a 10th-floor Standard wellness spa with plunge pools, a fitness room, a yoga/pilates room, a movie room, a bowling alley, and a pet spa. There will also be a ninth-floor restaurant and bar with a ground-level Avra Estiatorio restaurant along the riverfront.
Prices start at a competitive $600,000, with a choice of studios to two-bedroom residences. If you’ve like more information about the The Standard Brickell, contact us today. We can provide details on floor plans, and how this Brickell development differs from the almost complete Standard Residences in Midtown, or to schedule a private presentation and get your pick of floor plans before anyone else.
Atelier Residences Miami – Coral Way
Groundbreaking – Q2 2025 | Completion – 2027
Envisioned to offer “approachable luxury,” BLDG Ventures launched sales for Atelier Residences Miami this November. Located at 1265 S.W. 22nd Street/Coral Way, the 10-story building will introduce attractively-priced short-term rental-ready condos to Miami’s The Roads neighborhood. The developer is currently in the process of closing the deal with owner Delia Hospitality LLC.
Designed by Gensler, the mid-rise will feature 148 condos ranging from 360 to 1,500 square feet in size. Interior design will be handled by Miami-based Pfeifer Haus. As the developer took over a stalled project, he intends to keep the floor plans and structural components approved by the city intact and only improve on the design.
Developer Rene Bello plans to ensure unit owners receive at least 90% of their rental revenue. To achieve this, he is collaborating with several homesharing platforms to allow guests to pay a cleaning fee and “resort” fee directly to the condo owners, thus cutting down on their expenses. By eliminating the need for a brand or hotel front desk, which can take away a good portion of the revenue, Bello hopes to further maximize profits for owners.
A social club called Caya, named after the Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, will be the highlight of amenities. The club will emphasize wellness by offering a variety of spa treatments, including IV therapy and hormone balancing. There will also be a pool, a restaurant, and a fitness center.
Prices range from the mid-$400,000s to $2 million, with a choice of studios to three-bedroom residences. Call, text, or email us to seize this well-priced investment opportunity in Miami’s beautifully lush Coral Way neighborhood.

Groundbreaking – November 2024 | Completion – 2028
Developer Ytech broke ground on the world’s first (partially) solar-powered residential high-rise capable of generating its own electricity this November.

Mixed-use Project by Allen Morris Co. – Coconut Grove
Groundbreaking – Q3 2025 | Completion – N/A
Partnering with the Espinosa family that owns the 1.7-acre site at 3101 Grand Avenue, developer Allen Morris Company announced plans to build a mixed-use project on the parcel. Situated a block west of Cocowalk, the developer plans to relocate its corporate headquarters from Coral Gables to a 15,000-square-foot office space in the new development. The site is currently home to a retail building with a laundry business owned by the Espinosas.
Designed by Miami-based Oppenheim Architecture, the five-story mixed-use structure will feature 100,000 square feet of office space, while a separate three-story building will house 20 luxury condos. Units will likely range from 1,500 to 4,000 square feet. Together, the two buildings will house 40,000 square feet of retail and a rooftop restaurant with views of Biscayne Bay.
In exchange for approvals, the developer has offered to fund improvements to Kirk Munroe Park and Fuller Street to enhance the walkability status of the area. Landscaping will be handled by Naturalficial’s Andres Arcila.
Prices are expected to range from $2.5 million to $8 million.
140-unit Condo Building – Wynwood
Developer FH Investments LLC, managed by Fay Hezemans, has filed plans to develop 140 condos at the 1.1-acre assemblage inclusive of 3233 and 3225 N.W. 5th Avenue, 444 N.W. 33rd Street and 431 N.W. 32nd Street in Wynwood. The site currently features a 12,958-square-foot warehouse and two houses.
Designed by Belgian architect Binst Architects in collaboration with Miami-based Charles H. Benson & Associates, the six-story building will feature 140 condos and retail space. Units will range from 452 square-foot studios to 3,031 square-foot three-bedroom residences.

There will also be 10,456 square feet of retail space, of which 14 will be “micro-retail” bays spanning an average size of 484 square feet for local tenants.
57-story Condo-Apartment Tower by Grupo T&C – Edgewater
After successfully launching sales for Edge House in April, Peru-based Grupo T&C decided to expand its Miami portfolio by picking up a 0.8-acre vacant property at 404, 412, 416, 420, 432, and 436 Northeast 35th Street for $15.1 million. The site is zoned to carry a 36-story tower with either 124 residential units or 248 hotel rooms.
Separately, Grupo T&C is working on plans to develop a 57-story tower in Edgewater featuring both condos and apartments. Grupo will likely file plans for the assemblage in Q1 2025, with the condo units likely allowing flexible rentals. The developer will have to apply for several bonuses to add density to the site. This is Grupo’s third purchase in Edgewater, including a 0.8-acre assemblage on Northeast Fourth Avenue between Northeast 27th and 28th streets.
Four New Condo Towers for Jungle Island – Watson Island
Okaying two separate referendums this November, the city has set the ball rolling for massive condo development on Watson Island. The Jungle Island redevelopment proposed by ESJ Capital Partners and Terra Group entails the construction of luxury condos and a public park. On the other hand, the mixed-use project dubbed Watson Harbour, proposed by BH3 Management and Merrimac Ventures, involves building condos, offices, and implementing infrastructure improvements.
To develop condos in place of the eco-adventure theme park, developers ESJ and Terra have agreed to return 13 acres of land to the city, construct a new waterfront park, cancel the lease on the existing theme park and hotel, and contribute $15 million towards affordable housing, infrastructure, and other public benefits. In exchange, the city has agreed to sell 5.4 acres of land to the developers at an estimated $135 million to build the 40-story luxury condo with around 500-600 units.
To build Watson Harbour, BH3 and Merrimac are looking to purchase 3.2 acres of land from the city for an estimated $25 million to build 105 condos with about 221,000 square feet of office and retail space. In exchange, the duo has agreed to extend the lease on the rest of the site by 24 years, expand the bayfront public promenade, and contribute $9 million towards affordable housing and infrastructural improvements. Once zoning and other permissions are secured, further details on the individual projects and progress will be revealed.
Deauville Hotel Redevelopment – North Beach
Groundbreaking – 2026 | Completion – N/A
With Terra Group on board, the Meruelo family is making big strides in their reconstruction plans for the now-demolished Deauville Hotel. Submitting plans to the city’s Planning Board this November, the developer partners are pushing for a higher floor area ratio (FAR) than currently allowed. While current zoning allows for the construction of 570 units with a floor area of 500,000 square feet, developers seek approval to build two (taller) condo towers and partially reconstruct the historic hotel, totaling nearly 900,000 square feet.
Designed by Foster + Partners, Shulman + Associates, and ODP as the lead architect, the oceanfront redevelopment will feature a smaller version of the Deauville with 280 rooms and a combined 140 units in two separate luxury condo towers. To secure approval, developers must incorporate historical architectural elements from the original hotel, construct a pedestrian pathway from Collins Avenue to the beach, cap the condo tower height at 400 feet, and agree to prohibit short-term rentals in the residential towers.
This project was initially designed by Frank Gehry and called the Equinox Hotel and Residences, but it was rejected in 2022 for seeking a higher floor area ratio (FAR).
Bjarke Ingels-Designed Luxury Condos – Surfside
With site plans already under review by Surfside’s Planning and Zoning Board, five historically significant apartment buildings could be redeveloped into a Bjarke Ingels-designed condo project. Located at 9040 Collins Avenue, the one-acre assemblage falls under Collins Avenue’s Historic District and so the building façades are required to be repurposed and incorporated into the new condo project.
Designed by the Bjarke Ingels Group in collaboration with Shulman + Associates, the new three-story building will feature 36 spacious luxury condos, of which 22 would be two-bedroom units and 14 would be three bedrooms. Floor plans will average 1,207 square feet for a two-bedroom and 1,610 square feet for a three-bedroom. There will also be a pool and 72 underground parking spaces.

The Faena Residences Miami (formerly One River Point) – Miami River
Groundbreaking – Late 2025 | Completion – Late 2028
Developers Kar Properties and Fortune International revealed a more concrete construction timeline for Miami’s Faena 2.0. Following the epic success of Mid-Beach’s Faena House and cultural district, the developer duo is partnering with Alan Faena to construct two 60-story condo towers at 90 Southwest Fourth Street under his luxury lifestyle brand.
Designed by New York’s highly acclaimed Rafael Viñoly Architects, the riverfront skyscrapers will rise with a total of 440 residences and a two-story cultural facility connecting them at the top. The 45,000-square-foot amenity space will feature programming by Faena. The striking luxury towers will be part of the three-block Faena District Miami River – a multi-phase cultural epicenter with curated spaces, public art, wellness facilities, and a marina within the only 14-acre private park along the river.
Prices are expected to start at $1 million, with a choice of one- to four-bedroom residences. Sales for The Faena Residences Miami River are expected to launch before the year ends, so do contact us for access to early bird prices and your pick of floor plans.

Groundbreaking – N/A | Completion – 2026
Developer Fort Partners closed on a $110.7 million construction loan this November to begin constructing their latest beachfront venture. With site prep underway, the Four Seasons developer is likely to break ground soon on Surf House.
Designed by Kobi Karp, Surf House will be a boutique oceanfront community rising 11 stories with only 19 oversized condos.

Urbin Miami Beach’s Former Dev. Site Approved for Sale – South Beach
The former development site of Urbin Miami Beach has been approved for sale to Pakman Miami Beach LLC for $17.5 million by U.S. District Judge Jacqueline Becerra. Bernice C. Lee, the court-appointed receiver, had filed a motion in September to sell the parcel, including land at 1234 and 1260 Washington Avenue.
The sale’s proceeds will be used to pay off $16.74 million to a first-priority lender, who is owed a total of $19.3 million, along with other bills and taxes. However, buyers who made deposits worth $10 million will likely receive no returns.
In 2022, a groundbreaking ceremony was held for Urbin Miami Beach at 1234 and 1260 Washington Avenue. The 69-unit co-living low-rise was set to replace two commercial buildings. However, in June 2023, the City of Miami Beach halted all construction work on the 33,525-square-foot site due to a lack of proper permits and plans completely fell through once Location Ventures’ ex-CEO, Rishi Kapoor, was entangled in litigation.
Solaris at Brickell Bay Buyout – Brickell
Billionaire Ken Griffin is speculated to be attempting a bulk buyout of the condos at Solaris at Brickell. Located at 186 Southeast 12th Terrace, next to where Griffin plans his bayfront supertall, similarly named Delaware LLCs have purchased nearly half the units at the 22-story, 141-condo tower over the last two years.
The Citadel founder’s $1 billion-plus project is planned to rise at 1201 Brickell Bay Drive. Primarily home to the future headquarters of Citadel and Citadel Securities along with other Class-A offices, it will also house a 212-key hotel, fine dining restaurants, a 5,239-square-foot health/spa area, open spaces, and more.
We’ll be back with more updates if the takeover of Solaris at Brickell leads to the construction of a new condo tower to meet the housing needs of employees in the adjacent office tower.
Oak Row Equities’ $500M Bid – Brickell
Developer Oak Row Equities plans to buy Aimco’s 4.25-acre waterfront assemblage for $500 million. Located at 1001 and 1111 Brickell Bay Drive, the parcel sits on 485 feet of continuous Biscayne Bay frontage and is currently home to a 32-story office tower and a 31-story rental building.
Zoned to carry several towers rising 1,049 feet, the property is likely to be redeveloped into a luxury condominium. Last year, the waterfront assemblage was listed with an asking price of $650 million.
