In South Florida’s most expensive office sale of 2010, the site for 1400 Biscayne Boulevard has been sold for $31.52 million.
The buyer is an affiliate of Miami-based developer Espacio USA. The site has approvals from the city of Miami to build 850 apartment units and 43,000 square feet of retail space on the site. The twin towers designed by Arquitectonica will be 64 floors and 58 floors, respectively.
The site is currently immediately north of the Arsht Performing Arts Center and will be served by two Metro mover stations.

Is this a sign that Miami's condo glut is being absorbed?

I thought I had read recently that all the condos were filling up nicely these days.

yes the condo glut is being absorbed. In the first quarter of 2010 over 72% of the newly built condos during the boom had already been sold. The remaining percentage of unsold condos are concentrated in a few buildings like ICON and a few are in foreclosure and sales have been halted.
This project as it stands is for rental apartments of which are sorely needed in Miami. Of course that can be changed to condos and currently there is a office building on the site that would have to be torn down to make way for this project.

nice good to see that miami is getting some more skyscrapers too.

but they should maybe change part of the base abit tho.

that white wall on one of the sides is kinda big

this has been changes to LED display boards

so no apartments, still better than nothing i guess

I like those LED buildings, they look really cool.

intresting development

it's good to see miami moving forward with some new proposals. a pretty generic looking tower but anything will be a benefit to the area right about now

Ugly building. With all the creative and innovative designs going up around the world, you'd think Miami could've found a better design.

You have the wrong site. The LED display boards would be across the street to the east of this proposed project.

Building is fairly standard but I'm more put off by the general area. From the aerials it looks like there's very little around it that would make someone want to live/play nearby. What's the streetlife in that immediate area? Is it walkable? Are there things to do?

Blends in with the buildings around it. Kind of conservative looking when compared to some of the other designs we've seen proposed in the Miami area.

Nice. Another one for Miami. Very Kewl...

:cool:

Yes, I agree. Its looks amazing! I haven't been down there to South Florida for a long time. I did not realize know its has lots of changed it for a long time.

What are the big arena type structures?

This project has had a redesign by Pei Cobb Freed & Partners Architects

Performing arts center.

There is no hope -.-

Downtown Miami desperately needs some 3-5 story mixed use infill to surround these condo towers and eat up some of the vacant areas.
