Love it! Waiting for the high rez renderporn :)

The color version gives more details & the facade looks like waves rippling upwards. I also noticed there is no parking podium.

podium is behind the building (see it on the left covered in greenery) unfortunately only covering about half of Infinity's awful podium

SLS Brickell to open in 2015

BY HANNAH SAMPSON
HSAMPOSN@MIAMIHERALD.COM

As expected, the chic SLS hotel brand is heading downtown -- and adding condos.

The SLS Brickell, a condo and hotel at 1300 S. Miami Ave., will open in 2015. The project was announced late Tuesday by The Related Group and entertainment, real estate and hospitality company sbe, which are partnering on the development.

News about the project had been spreading for weeks, but officials with both companies would not confirm the rumors before Tuesday.

With 450 condo units and 133 hotel rooms, the property will also include meeting space, a spa, two pools and more than 10,000 square feet of restaurants, lounges and bars. The project will be the first SLS branded residences and the second SLS hotel in Miami-Dade. The Los Angeles-based company also bought the iconic Raleigh hotel with Tristar Capital’s David Edelstein last year.

Chef José Andrés, whose restaurant The Bazaar is a hit at SLS Hotel South Beach, will be in charge of food and beverage venues, which will include a restaurant with local favorite Michael Schwartz. Philippe Starck, who designed the South Beach SLS, will do the same for the hotel and residences.

The project is expected to break ground in the middle of 2013. The Related Group, which bought the site for $18.5 million last year, plans to open a sales center later this month.

May not be so boring after all. Looks like they may put some color on it. Has some pretty good ground floor retail as well.

^ Thanks for the update dave8721! So this will be Miami's fifth building over 500 feet/152 m that is currently under construction in the city. This will become Miami's 32nd. tower over 500 feet when completed.
Shouldn't this thread be moved now that construction has started? Can a MOD move this thread to "Highrise Construction" now?

Official groundbreaking ceremony is tomorrow.

Yes it does! :tup: It looks exciting. Good luck with your SLS, as well. The ground level on the Miami Proposal looks incredible! Hopefully it comes out like the renderings. (I saw you had dropped by the Philly thread's version of SLS.) I like them both! :cheers:

The building was approved by the FAA at 599 feet above sea level so the building should be about 591 feet tall or so.

Here is a rendering with the big "S L S" on top:

Reminds me of a Vegas design. Nevertheless, its very trippy, and adds to Miamis growing collection. :cheers:

Groundbreaking occurred in January 2014. This one is good to go and is rising. :cheers:
