BrickellHouse Breaks Ground in Downtown Miami

MIAMI—Construction just began on the Downtown Miami/Brickell market’s first new-to-market luxury condominium development to be announced since 2008. Newgard Development Group is holding the groundbreaking ceremonies for BrickellHouse condo on Wednesday.

Located at 1300 Brickell Bay Drive, BrickellHouse is scheduled for completion in 2014. The 46-story, 374-unit condominium tower is already almost 90% sold. Newgard converted all contracts in just 45 days to meet its summer groundbreaking goal.

Genting downscales in Miami as it seeks to expand its global brand

http://www.miamiherald.com/2012/07/2...-miami-as.html

BY ELAINE WALKER

Malaysian casino giant Genting says it will move forward with more modest plans for its downtown Miami site. Globally, the company is seeking to expand.

Miami Mayor Tomas Regalado hasn’t seen them. Neither has Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez.

Nearly six months after the Genting Group failed to get legislative approval for a massive destination casino resort on the downtown Miami Herald site, both mayors are among the many who said they have heard nothing from the Malaysian company about its scaled down vision for a project without a casino.

Speaking publicly for the first time since the legislative defeat, Genting executives told the Miami Herald they remain committed to Miami and are slowly moving forward with a plan that could be presented to the city later this year or early next. Preliminary plans call for a luxury hotel with fewer than 500 rooms -- about one tenth of its original proposal -- plus two condo towers. The total space devoted to restaurants and boutiques would be no more than 100,000 square feet, or about the size of a small department store.

Genting is vetting about a dozen luxury hotel brands that have expressed interest in the project; once a flag is chosen, the plan will move forward, said Christian Goode, president of Resorts World Miami.

The hope is to start demolition in May 2013 when the Herald vacates the bayfront land it now occupies. Genting paid Herald parent McClatchy Co. $236 million for the 13.9-acre site in 2011.

Gone -- at least for now -- are the grandiose development plans for a $3.8 billion resort with 5,200 rooms.

“We’ve listened and we’ve heard what people said,” Goode said. “This will complement the existing downtown skyline. We want to make sure we put a project forward that everybody is happy with and that adds value to the city of Miami.”

Let's get on with it.

And I don't believe Miami forumers who morosely speculate that this will end up being a glorified Motel 8.

I think I agree as well. If they passed the bill. Last time, they denied the casino approval. Let's hope do the right thing to do. If they approved it.

50 condo towers proposed in South Florida

Four new condo towers proposed in Miami Beach and downtown Miami could potentially add 8,600 residences to the South Florida market.

If all the proposed projects are built, 50 new buildings will rise from the southeast corridor of South Florida, according to Condo Vultures.com.

Already one new tower has been completed and 10 high-rises are under construction.

As for the new additions, a seven-story building and a nine-story building are planned for an oceanfront site in the 300 block of Ocean Drive on Miami Beach. The project is being called 321 Ocean Drive.

An 80-story tower with 724 units is being proposed on land that is currently home to an office tower complex at 1101 Brickell Ave. Another group is planning a luxury condo tower where a parking garage is located at 1010 Brickell Ave.

The 643 foot tall Mansions at Acqualina in Sunny Isles just broke ground as well.

These guys have a pretty good list:

Re: Met III, MDM doesn't have the goods. Maybe they'll sell the tract to someone who can get it done.

I'd prefer that to the parking garage they intend to build instead.

That's good connectivity there. A connection to the airport really does wonders.
