‘Floating’ Parking Garage, 352 Residential Units, Proposed Above Historic Biscayne Boulevard Church

Architect Add Inc has prepared a creative plan to preserve the historic church at 1836 Biscayne Boulevard, while adding 352 residential units and a parking garage.

Under a proposal scheduled to be reviewed by Miami’s Historic and Environmental Preservation Board next week, the church would be restored and retrofitted to become hurricane-resistant. Instead of a place of worship, a grocer would occupy the space.

A 34-story residential tower would be built next to the church. ‘Floating’ above the former church would be a parking garage. In total, up to 480 parking spaces are planned.

Developer Fifteen Group paid $14.25m for the property last year. R.J. Heisenbottle Architects is working alongside ADD Inc for Fifteen Group as a historic preservation consultant.

The church is directly across the street from Atlas Capital Group’s newly proposed 429-unit residential tower at 1900 Biscayne.

historic church at 1836 Biscayne Boulevard church has been sold to Fifteen Group for $14.25m.

The First Church of Christ, Scientist, had been sold in 2013 to an Eb-5 developer for $6.25 million. Plans for a glassy Arquitectonica-design restaurant that preserved the church were prepared by the previous owner but will likely be scrapped.

Fifteen Group has been an active land flipper in Miami. The company recently sold the Biscayne Beach site, as well as the former Electra site in Midtown. Fifteen recently bought the downtown FedEx property and is a partner in the Midtown 29 project.
