Chetrit Wants To Build Four 60-Story Riverfront Towers, Marina

In the shadow of I-95, a developer plans to build four 60-story towers on the Miami River to include a marina, hotel and 1,449 condo units.

The ambitious plan was reviewed May 14 by the Urban Infill & Greenways Subcommittee of the Miami River Commission.

Miami Riverwalk’s towers would cluster the condos and 300 hotel rooms on about 6.5 acres. The plan also calls for retail and office uses, a riverfront restaurant, public riverwalk and other dedicated green space, a small marina and parking garages.

The project is planned for a three-block area bordered by the river, Southwest Seventh Street, Southwest Third Avenue and Southwest Second Avenue.

Committee Chairman Jim Murley was pleased by the presentation on the project, including several renderings of the planned towers, but said he didn’t feel the time was right for an advisory vote to the full river commission.

The developer, New York-based Chetrit Group, had just hired a landscape architect and a firm to evaluate the need for a new seawall, so there was design work yet to be done, the committee learned.

The committee may review a more detailed plan in late June, with a river commission review possible July 7.
