Hey Brickell, do we have a dedicated thread for Miami World Center? I see portside Miami but I do not see one for this?
Edit: I created one. I think a 30 acre project consisting of many towers should have one . Especially with all of the recent news on the project as of this month.
There probably was one but it seems that threads that are inactive for like 6 months or something tend to disappear. That happened to a bunch of older Miami threads.
NYC developer drops big investment on Miami riverfront
Quote:
New York developer Kar Properties LLC just dropped $33 million on a 2.9-acre site on Miami’s riverfront — triple the amount it sold for in March 2011. While plans for the lot have not been announced,the property at Southwest Third Street between Miami Avenue and Southwest First Avenue, can hold up to 920 apartments and 100,000 square feet of office and retail space, the Daily Business Review reported.
Last year, Kar purchased another 1.8-acre riverfront plot at 24 Southwest 4th Street for $27.5 million, which the developer intends to turn into a residential condominium building.
I hope that the condo towers look like marine life.
I'm hoping that they look like '80s-style coke mirrors.

Yes, it will. It will also be nice if we can get some halfway decent design out of it. While it was perhaps shortsighted when the Herald building was built right on the bayfront, it was Miami history... in a city with a very short one. I don't see it as progress if a prime example of MCM architecture which represented an era of tremendous growth for Miami is demolished in favor of cookie-cutter condo/apartment towers which have become so commonplace that they do not define any particular historical era of the "city's" built environment.

Demolition underway at former Miami Herald building
Quote:
The former Miami Herald building officially turned its last page Monday morning, as demolition commenced at the one-time home of the media outlet. The site will eventually give way to a resort and residential complex.
The 14-acre site, purchased for $236 million by Malaysian 🞵🞵🞵🞵🞵🞵🞵🞵 giant Genting in 2011, will house a mix of condo towers, a 500-room hotel and ground-floor commercial space for shops and restaurants. Genting originally planned to build a mega-resort casino on the property located between MacArthur and Venetian causeways on Biscayne Bay, but squashed its proposal after facing a backlash over the project’s size.
Consultatio gets $332M mortgage for Oceana Bal Harbour
Quote:
Eduardo Costantini’s Consultatio received a $332 million construction loan for its luxury Oceana Bal Harbour condo project.
The Argentine developer told the Miami Herald it obtained the mortgage from a consortium of lenders led by HSBC. Consultatio started building the 240-unit Oceana in December 2013. The all-glass tower is rising on the former site of the Bal Harbour Beach Club.
Miami-Dade County has not recorded the transaction.
“We thought it would be convenient for the company to obtain such a credit facility,” Costantini told the Herald.
The firm is close to finishing its first U.S. development, Oceana Key Biscayne. The project is slated for a July completion. Consultatio did not receive outside financing for the Key Biscayne project.

328 residential units, along with 20,000 square feet of retail space, are included in the ‘eco-friendly’ project. Interiors are being designed by Hirsch Bedner Associates.
The project is down the block from Icon Bay, which includes a public park.
