Tree Work Begins At Site Where 800+ Foot Mandarin Oriental Tower Planned

Tree removal and relocation appears to be underway at The Residences at Mandarin Oriental site on Brickell Key, according to a post on the Brickell Living Facebook group.

DERM records also show that an application for a $3.2m seawall rebuild at the property was filed in recent days.

The property is privately owned by developer Swire Properties.

According to a tree permit approved earlier this year for the site, the following was planned:

tree relocation – 25
tree removal – 10
tree removal (prohibited species) – 3
tree replacement planning – 4
The Residences at Mandarin Oriental is planned to rise over 800 feet, and will have 220 residential units.

Next door, a second tower is planned to rise around 400 feet. It will include 151 guest rooms, 61 private residences and 28 hotel residences.

Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates is the architect.

So is this one approved/under construction?

This is some way out from being under construction. They'll need to demolish the current Mandarin Oriental hotel building, which is somewhere in the neighborhood of 16-20 stories. If and when they do, highly recommend seeing if you can buy any of the furniture if they are getting rid of it. The rooms are rather nice.

Yeah its in the very early preliminary states. Still ways to go.

Ah thanks!

Ultimate skyscraper to live in if you don't want any views to be blocked.

What's the construction status thus far?

[BrickellBased]

Last time I saw the site (about 3 weeks ago) they have the park closed and fenced off, there is some digging in the ground with some backhoes etc but no foundation equipment on site.

So I'd consider it 'site prep'. I think @Atloic could add this to his 'site prep' category for Brickell in the rundown he did in the general Miami construction thread.

Thank you for the status update! I'll add it to my most recent update

[BrickellBased]

Cool

The full rundown you did in the Miami thread is incredible. Thanks for that. There's so much going on in the city - it's quite exciting. The city is on track to transform itself again over the next 5 years.

I'll try to upload some more pics to return the favor!

I can remember the days of the failed Met III and thinking Miami would never be able to top that boom.

I'm glad you were wrong

Anyone know or have reference to the crane count in Miaimi or in the region? It curiously tends to be left off such indices. Going by Altoic's under construction projects averaging 1 crane per project, that would put it at 50 cranes...

Meanwhile Toronto going up Dubai style https://www.bdcnetwork.com/construct...e-high-q1-2023

Fascinating we don't hear more hype about it - construction there is meteoric.

Nothing like Toronto in the Western Hemisphere. I expect it to overtake Chicago if it hasn’t already.

That may happen within about a decade or so. It seems like Chicago has slowed down recently when it comes to new proposals and construction products, the only one that comes in the top of my head right now is the Tribune East proposal in River North.

What will really push Miami into the level of Chicago and LA is expanding it's mass transit system, starting with the Metrorail North extension into Hard Rock Stadium, and the Tri Rail project along the FEC ROW that Brightline currently uses for it's service to Orlando, as well as MIA introducing more international carriers fro Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and especially from Asia and Australia.

Finally, more supertalls by getting rid of that stupid height limits imposed by the FAA, and drafting new flight routes away from Downtown Miami north of 14th St and south of SW 15th Rd, so Downtown Miami can grow into a commercial behemoth similar to Midtown Manhattan and the Chicago Loop.

Wow. Swire is asking for 100m for the penthouse.
