It's a derogatory remark that I've even seen ads educating people about. We should refrain from using offensive terms because they are all moronic!

Current specs are putting Echo Brickell at 750 feet, but we've seen renderings that indicate they might be trying to get approved to go taller with it because the building is almost completely sold out already.

wow, i'm so depressed, the miami beach convention center poobahs recommended the ingels design over the clearly superior ace (oma) proposal. :(

so that means no jackie gleason theater

The Great one must be rolling in his grave right now.

A new (actually a resubmittal of an old boom era submission) tower: The Chelsea (1550 Biscayne Blvd). 52-floors, 647 feet tall. Mixed use: 23 stories of condo's on top of an office tower. The site is across the street from the Omni mall and whatever Genting ends up building on that site.

In other news, yet another west Brickell project is in the works: the 8-story 421 unit Broadstone Brickell is coming to 145 SW 13th ST west of the Metrorail tracks.

One of those "human scale" projects that add tons of density:

Miami is still the truth here.

I like this. Thanks for posting, dave.

Magic City TRUTH in yo face, muthafucka!

Cool. Finally some more projects aside from the regular condo offerings. Hopefully they don't just develop Brickell but also the rest of the city from its suburban-like characteristics.

The old Beacon at Brickell Village (across the street to the south of Brickell CityCentre) may finally return from the dead after being emroiled in a several years long foreclosure suit:

Broadstone Brickell
 

The Broadstone Brickell renderings don't seem to show any ground floor retail. Does anyone know if that block is strictly residential?

Im pretty sure both the Tishman proposal and the Portman proposal for the convention center site keep the Gleason Theatre, and revamp it.

You can specifically see it in this video, actually being added to a bit.

Hey! Watch your mouth!! You are not allowed to used a bad language. Please don't do that again.

Is this the truth or are you being sarcastic? It's so hard to tell on this website!

A bunch of projects going before the UDRB on July 17th. Zaha Hadid's One Thousand Museum and a re-incarnation at the Element site among them. Plus a new CBD tower called "River Tower"

The one-sided 550-foot buildings Related is putting at the old Element site on NE 31st Street in Edgewater. Designed by Arquitectonica of course.

typical arquitectonica bland stucco walls and exposed hallways on the back side of the building:

More proof that the "city" doesn't matter? Only views and garages...

Another day, another tower. Here is River Tower. Another western CBD building. Not the most lovely location (surrounded by an FPL substation, I-95 and its ghastly on-ramps)
