Another Brickell Condo Bets on Boom
By Jennifer LeClaire | Miami

MIAMI—The Brickell Financial District is seeing plenty of construction action, including the groundbreaking of Le Parc at Brickell. Le Parc is now becomes Downtown Miami’s newest luxury condo under development.

A joint venture partnership between South Florida-based developers Strategic Properties Group and ALTA Developers, the 12-story boutique-style building is located just off Brickell Avenue overlooking the historic Simpson Park at 1600 Southwest 1st Avenue. Le Parc at Brickell is set to open in late 2015.

“Le Parc at Brickell will deliver a one-of-a-kind living experience that you won’t find anywhere else in Miami,” says Henry Pino, a partner with Strategic. “Our unique location offers residents the best of both worlds—the convenience of being connected to the energy of Brickell just a few blocks away, with the privacy that comes with living in a quiet neighborhood away from the congestion.”

Le Parc’s 128 residences will include one-, two-, and three-bedroom units, as well as studios and exclusive two-story townhomes. Units will feature private terraces with views of Simpson Park, the Miami skyline, and Biscayne Bay. The building’s common area interior designs and furnishings will be inspired Ligne Roset. Preconstruction prices range from the low $300,000s to about $700,000.

Luis Revuelta, of Miami-based architectural firm Revuelta International Architecture, in collaboration with Archiplan USA, designed the luxury condo. Building amenities include a fourth-floor pool deck; rooftop SkyLounge with a plunge pool and outdoor bar/lounge area; fitness center; clubroom and entertainment area; executive business lounge and conference center; private porte-cochere entrance; and multi-level garage parking.

I think your signature will need to be updated in the next year or so frequently
bobdreamz . Third and Fourth Quarter 2014 will see the construction of a couple of towers that are 500ft or greater.

The two renderings for Panorama Tower look considerably different. Any thoughts as to which version is being built? The cleaner, eliptical massing looks a lot better, in my opinion.

The cleaner one is. I updated the original highrise thread with the official renderings from the projects website.

Brickell House will officially top out on February 12th. with a party. Welcome to a exclusive club officially becoming the 29th. skyscraper towering over 500+ feet | 152 m in Miami !!!

I just saw the 1981 movie Absence of Malice which is set in Miami. So amazing to compare Miami of today to the Miami of just 35 years ago. Utterly phenomenal growth.

Paul Newman and Sally Field! Remember it well.

Absence of Malice was a very good movie and captured the Miami I grew up in. We can even go back 20 years ago and watch the movie "True Lies" with
Arnold Schwarzenegger & Jamie Lee Curtis and the difference is amazing especially in the Brickell area.

Miami Blues is a good late '80s-era Miami movie as well.

Check it out if you haven't -- interesting to see the portrayal and remember Miami then. And, Baldwin is pretty good as a psycho nut.

[Johnland]

Ok, not beat this to death, but I just thought of Scarface with Al Pacino. That one I remember because there's that South Beach scene with the chain saw in the apartment. That was soooo before the glitz and the glamour. Reminds me of my 1st time to SB in the late 80's..a little old lady showed me an apartment for rent for about $400. If that building still stands, it'd be $400/sq foot at least!

Brickell's Second SLS Hotel, Styled 'Lux' Will Look Like This

With Related's first SLS Hotel in Brickell thoroughly under construction, they're wasting no time in planning a second 'SLS'-tagged hostelry, this time within the two-three towered Brickell Heights megaproject and co-developed with the Allen Morris Company (yes, that Allen Morris that donated that park). The boutique sized SLS Lux Hotel (read: small but plenty of fancy stuff) according to renderings sent along by project reps will still have lots of stuff for guests and, if the name is any indicating, will probably be more luxurious too.

Renderings are of an amenity deck that fits a pool and tennis court, an outdoor dining sort of area at said amenity deck, a giant Botero sculpture on the sidewalk with a lobby or restaurant-ish space behind, the obligatory 'flying balcony shot', and the also obligatory 'entire building shot.' Looks like the SLS Lux will be in the Brickell Heights' westernmost building, and also its tallest.

Aria On The Bay To Include 647 Residential Units

Melo Group’s planned Aria on the Bay project is set to include 647 residential units in a 50-story tower, according to the developer’s website.

Arquitectonica is the architect for the project. In 2005, an Arquitectonica-designed project called On The Park was approved for the Aria site at 1770 North Bayshore Drive – south of the 1800 Club, and north of Bay Parc Plaza.

Aria will also include 40,000 square feet of commercial space, along with 1,035 parking spaces.

Melo’s Melody project is much further along in the approval process than Aria, so the specifications for Aria could be changed. Construction on Aria is targeted to begin in fall 2014.
