MIAMI | Liquid Lofts (37 SW 1st Street) | 866 FT | 76 FLOORS

866-Foot Downtown Miami Tower Called Liquid Lofts In The Planning Stage



Quote:
Architect Charles Sieger could be planning a residential tower in downtown Miami.

Earlier this month, an application was submitted to the feds to build an 866-foot tower called Liquid Lofts. It would be located at 37 SW 1st Street, on what is currently a parking garage. The applicant could not be determined.

The current owner of the property is a company controlled by Michael Werner.

Records show that Sieger Suarez registered several websites in December 2013, including liquidloftsmiami.com, liquidcondominium.com and other related domains. In the same month, a Florida corporation called Liquidlofts, LLC was formed, which lists Sieger as the sole manager.

The property is adjacent to the downtown Macy’s, which sold to New York’s Aetna Realty Group in 2013 and has been in play as a potential site for a new courthouse.

The height is actually 857 feet above the ground and it will be 76 floors. They are going before the Miami Planning board on Wednesday seeking setback variances, the planning department is recommending denying the variances (something to do with fire safety codes). We will see.

Details: It is to have 482 units plus retail space and 314 parking spaces.

rendering (hope a better one comes out soon):


Really big pdf (almost 200 pages) with the plans and the planning board submittal:

Quote:
Charles Sieger, head of Miami Beach-based Sieger Suarez Architects, wants to build the 482-unit Liquid Lofts tower at 35 S.W. 1st Street. The half-acre site currently has a four-story parking garage. Sieger’s Liquid Lofts LLC is under contract to buy it from First 35 Inc., which is owned by Michael Werner and Gene and Elise Howard.

The project would total 726,654 square feet. In addition to the apartments, it would have 5,795 square feet of commercial space, 4,400 square feet of restaurants, a pool, a theater, and a wine room. The lower floors would be decorated with art on the exterior.
Sieger wants the city to relax the minimum setback for the building from the street on the upper stories, which would allow for more density.

Liquid Lofts And Edgewater’s Tallest Tower Approved By FAA, City Review Pending

Quote:
The FAA has approved the height of both Liquid Lofts and 2000 Biscayne, even before the city has approved the two projects:

Liquid Lofts was approved for a height of 866 feet above ground, or 875 feet above sea level. Miami’s Planning and Zoning Department is recommending denial of setbacks needed to build the 76-story tower at 35 SW 1st Street. The tower is proposed to include 482 units and ground floor retail or restaurant space. In July, the Planning, Zoning and Appeals Board deferred a decision until October.

2000 Biscayne was approved at a height of 646 feet above ground, or 649 feet above sea level. Verzasca Group has the property in contract and has said that the tower is being designed by a ‘world renowned architect’ and that it will be tallest in Edgewater. It is proposed to include 450 units, but hasn’t been approved by the city yet.

Just to stay relevant, they should change the name from "Liquid Lofts" to "Box of Lofts". Would be much more reflective of the design.

It could have been much bigger. It would only have about 0.5 parking spaces per unit but on such a thin, constrained lot the only way to fit the parking is to go up (or down but this is Miami so thats not going to happen). Its 482 units and like 300 parking spaces.

80-Story Liquid Lofts Gets Approval From Planning Department
By TNM Staff on July 28, 2016

Charles Sieger’s Liquid Lofts is now shovel ready after getting approval from Miami’s Planning Department on July 18.

The developer had requested setback waivers that would allow the tall building to be built on a small lot at 35 Southwest 1st Street.

Liquid Lofts is proposed to include 482 apartment units.

FAA approval for an 866 foot building height was granted last year.

Exciting news on Miami's second tallest tower (over 850+ ft. | 260+ m)
set to rise !

76-Story Liquid Lofts Is Still OK With The FAA

Quote:
Federal Aviation Administration officials have reconfirmed their approval of the Liquid Lofts project.

In a letter sent this week at the request of Greenberg Traurig, the developer’s attorney, the FAA stated that the proposed height of the tower remains acceptable to the agency.

Liquid Lofts is proposed to rise 866 feet above ground.

Approval was granted in 2015, but had expired. The new expiration date for construction to commence is December 2018.

The FAA also reconfirmed their approval of the 800-unit rental towers under construction at MiamiCentral. Those towers will rtop off at 419 feet above ground.

It's going through the regular process of design, permits, approval stage (various steps), studies if applicable (environmental, zoning, etc.) and financial planning. It will rise, just have to be patient thats all. Remember that it takes a while for the soft cost stage. Even in places like NY that seem like they start instantly, its actually years for a lot of them in terms of the process of getting to construction. Sometimes we just don't hear about it right away, but any time we hear about a revealing of some design, there's often months if not years behind the planning. A lot of parcels that were bought in 2014/2015, are now starting to see the beginning of construction.

76-Story Liquid Lofts Resubmitted To The FAA

Quote:
Charles Sieger’s Liquid Lofts, which is proposed to become one of Miami’s tallest buildings, is again requesting Federal Aviation Administration height approval.

The proposal to build a 76-story apartment tower was submitted to the FAA in 2015, and approved. An extension was later granted with expiration in late 2018.

On June 1 , the building was submitted once again as a new application, while referencing the previous approval. If another approval is granted, it would allow for yet more time to begin work.

According to the new application, Liquid Lofts will rise 866 feet above ground or 875 feet above sea level – the same as in the original application.

In total, 482 apartments and 311 parking spaces are planned.

76-STORY LIQUID LOFTS APPROVED BY THE FAA (AGAIN) AT 866 FEET ABOVE GROUND

Quote:
Liquid Lofts has received approval for a building height of 866 feet above ground from the Federal Aviation Administration.

It is the second time the FAA has approved the height of the building. An identical height was approved in 2015, but approval expired in 2018.

Law firm Greenberg Traurig represented the applicant. The FAA took about 16 months to approve, with the application submitted in June 2018.

If built, the 76-story tower will essentially match the height of Miami’s tallest building, Panorama Tower. Liquid Lofts will top off at 866 feet above ground, and 875 feet above sea level. By Comparison, Panorama is 868 feet above ground, or 876 feet above sea level.

The project has been proposed to include 482 residential units and 314 parking spaces, to be designed and developed by Charles Sieger of Sieger Suarez architects.

No construction permits are pending. A listing on the Loopnet website earlier this year showed that the property had been listed for sale, but the listing was removed over the summer.

Here is a timeline of the Liquid Lofts proposal so far:

March 2015 – Liquid Lofts revealed by The Next Miami to be in the planning stages with an 866-foot tower
July 2015 – Proposal submitted to Miami’s Planning, Zoning and Appeals Board with a request for a zoning change
August 2015 – FAA approves Liquid Lofts height of 866 feet above ground
April 2016 – UDRB reviews plans, send to Planning Director
July 2016 – Planning Department approves plans
June 2018 – Height resubmitted to FAA after expiration of previous approval
February 2019 – Property appears to be listed for sale on Loopnet. It was removed in July
October 2019 – FAA approves height, again

I LOVE Miami, but it is addicted to terrible, boring architecture. As they say in Miami: "Es una lastima!" and "Oy vey!!!"
