MIAMI | Lima | 490 FT | 43 FL

[chris08876]

The ink hasn't even dried, but Kobi Karp has already released renderings for a proposed tower called Lima at the site of his recently sold office building, and the Starbucks next door, on 29th and Biscayne. Purchased for $19 million by Simon Karam and Biscayne Acquisitions, the site of the low-rise, MiMo office building built in the 1960s and adjacent surface lot was apparently issued a Major Use Special Permit back in 2007. And, word is, the new owners are keeping the already-approved designs. The permit allows for a 490-ft., 43-story tower with 206 residential units.

So, are they going to raze the Starbucks thats already there ? I looked at all the artist renderings on the Kobi Karp site and cant really tell.

Most likely. Unless they plan to incorporate near the tower. As more news comes up, i'll be sure to keep that in mind.

Stale proposal at this point.

Floors (above ground) 43
Parking places 402
Building costs $60,000,000
