I know for a fact there are over 30 towers U/C in and around Miami.  This may be a conservative figure, depending on whether something is in buildout or U/C.  from CBD, Brickell, Biscayne, Dadeland, etc...  truly impressive development which also includes new retail.  someone from there needs to do an itemization.

the bold projects are the ones that I know to be U/C; I know there's a few more, but not those 3 Trump bldgs., the Jades; Met 2?(they haven't even finalized the new design); Trump Royale?; Capital, etc... Infinity-- I dnk.   thanks for the list.  Icon I'm not sure about yet... not that I'm the authority on it;

Where's Loft II?
Also, according to a photo I saw one of the Icon towers is U/C; don't know about the other two.  So is Paramount Bay (is that Paramount at Edgewater?);

so there's about 30 at that height in Miami-Dade... and a bunch more that aren't as high, like the Dadeland & Midtown projects, Loft I, etc...

Miami is impressive.  It's funny though, according to Colliers, by comparison, Atlanta metro (similar size but smaller) has TWICE the industrial space that Miami 3-County has.  I had no idea about the disparity.  But, it's skyscraper numbers are way more than Atlanta's, except that ATL has more taller office bldgs.  most of Miami's talls are residential except for a handful of tall offices.  My take is that more offices will come; it's an evolution.

* I excluded Sunny Isles since I'm not sure what is going on there but all of these are under construction except as noted:
500 BRICKELL / PARAMOUNT @ EDGEWATER / status unknown.

MET 2 has begun pile driving at the site and as for the final design:



from late September 06' :

[JRS1]

is that the Met 2 w/ Marriott Marquis?  they were at this stage of construction on Trump's Tampa tower and on Eola Place and the result was nothing.  I can appreciate site clearing, but...  BTW, what's U/C to the left, Dupont, or part of the Met 1 complex?

Also, one of the websites is still taking contracts for preconstruction on the Icon towers, is it outdated info that hasn't been updated?  The reason I ask is b/c isn't Icon the Miami Circle project?  To me, it's a very important project to frame the mouth of the Miami River w/ One Miami directly across the way; it would create a stunning gateway en route to Neo Vertika and Latitude and Wind and the like.

same with Capital at Brickell.  Is Infinity really U/C?  Plus, which Paramount is U/C?  Paramount Bay is mentioned on a thread at SSC.

^ the pic is looking southeast....yes that is the Marriot and the building under construction is across the river. That is Brickell on the River 2. Not seen in the pic is EPIC which is where the Dupont Hotel used to be to the left. Infinity is U/C as well as ICON.

Not to dwell, but did Epic replace the Dupont project?

[123]

What part exactly is that cluster of Plaza, Icon, and 500. is that near the miami river or more south into brickell.

[asonj23]
