First spotted by @Dale @BrickellBased, good eyes! Used to be called Two31 Flagler.

This project is no longer a vision, it's moving forward with serious financial backing hence the new post.

Mint developers and Sonesta International Hotels Corp have joined ties to develop ‘The James Hotel & Residences Downtown Miami’ according to Hotel Investment Today. The property is among the many supertall residences planned in Miami, with an estimated construction cost of $850 million for 82 floors of hotel rooms, residences, and parking spots. Specifically, there will be 336 fully furnished residences with approximately 200 units participating in a hotel leaseback program, amenity space, and restaurants that include the highest bar and restaurant in the Americas. Sales for the development will begin in the second quarter of 2025.

Mint developer’s Daniel Berman said funding is secured for the first round of funding, with groundbreaking on the first quarter of 2026 and completion estimated in 2028.

An homage to the St. Regis in Chicago.

I love everything but the podium. Flagler Street is one of the last remaining "old school" vibe/styled streets in Miami and has a street wall which is uncommon in Florida ( https://maps.app.goo.gl/UXneNxx6ZMM1rZ7F9 ) . Let's see what the interaction is at street level.

"A four story club planned. Amenities will include snow and rain rooms."

"A press release by AD1 Hospitality describes it as the tallest in Miami, likely meaning it will reach the FAA-imposed height cap of 1,049 feet above sea level."

"Groundbreaking is expected in Q1 2026, with completion anticipated by late 2028. Sales for the residences are set to launch in Q2 2025, with an exclusive pre-sale offer available to Sonesta Travel Pass members."

Exactly my thoughts - especially the early iterations of Vista.
