Condo Tower Coming To North Bay Village's Old Crab Shack

Quote:

On the north side of the 79th Street Causeway, at the site of a shuttered Crab Shack restaurant, and quite close to Shuckers, which used to be a neighborhood fave until that dock incident happened (has it reopened yet?), North Bay Village pols have given tentative approval for a 22 story tower called, very imaginatively, 1555 Kennedy Causeway. Maybe it's a working title. The building will have 127 residential units, as well as offices, shops, and restaurants, which could be kind of nice to walk to from Shuckers if they ever replace that damn dock.

Apartment Building To Be Built Around Enriqueta's Sandwich Shop In Midtown

Quote:

Three developers, namely Encore Housing Opportunity Fund, Adler Development, and the Fifteen Group are developing a luxury apartment building called Midtown 29, at the corner of 29th Street and NE 2nd Avenue, and wrapping (yes wrapping) it around arguably the best god damn Cuban restaurant north of Calle Ocho, Enriqueta's Sandwich Shop (Enriqueta's is really where those big trees at the center of the rendering are).

The building, which is being built on vacant lots and the site of a body shop, but not on the Enriqueta's property at the corner, will have about 300 units, ranging from studios to 3 bedrooms, and ground floor retail (to complement Enriqueta's hopefully).

It probably looks a lot different from when you last saw it. The city is continually changing.

Condos at Gulfstream? 21-story tower proposed

Quote:

HALLANDALE BEACH — A 21-story luxury condo tower may be coming to The Village at Gulfstream Park, making it the only pari-mutuel casino in South Florida with highrise housing.

The owner of the gambling emporium that has transformed Hallandale Beach into a tourist destination hopes to build 182 luxury units atop an existing parking garage. The tower would rise next to the open-air shopping and entertainment mall and overlook a giant 11-story Pegasus statue currently under construction.

"People will live here and use our shops and restaurants and gaming and everything else we have here," said Dennis Porter, senior vice president of The Stronach Group, Gulfstream's parent company. "It brings more people to our facility overall. This is pretty rare. I don't know of another facility that has what we have here."

Commissioners will vote on the proposal Wednesday night. If approved, construction would begin this fall and take two years, Porter said.

This is the first step in an ambitious plan to bring 1,500 highrise units, a 500-room hotel and a movie theater to The Village at Gulfstream Park. If all goes well, the next condo tower might not be far behind.

"This is the first of several," Porter said. "We don't know how many buildings we would build over the next several years. It depends on how the market reacts to the product and how the economy goes. Once we get this one nailed down and under way, and we have the success we think we will have, we won't be far behind with the second."

Sprawl could be incorporated efficiently with urban characteristics, and I see the changes in this metro that are appearing as a step forward to turn a spraw fiesta metro, into something that other U.S. cities could follow. A role model essentially.

Now, we just have to get the rest of the nation to think like this.

Yeah. Basically I would like to see the majority of communities east of I-95 (and a little bit to the west without reaching over the Turnpike) to become more urbanized. That's the part of South Florida that contains the most density and public transportation options but still has a sprawl problem. If this area is focused on, the area of the metro area west will follow suit while still maintaining its original characteristics as residential.

18-Story Condo Tower Proposed At Golden Sands

Quote:

An 18-story, 27-unit condo tower has been proposed behind the Lehman-tangled Golden Sands, just north of of Canyon Ranch in Miami Beach.
Miami Beach’s Historic Preservation Board had approved a plan in 2006 for a tower on the property located at 6901 Collins Avenue, but it was never built. The new plan would partially demolish the Golden Sands, as had been previously approved.

The developer is South Florida Condominium Management, Inc. The architect is Luis Revuelta, and the landscape architect is Lewis & Nielsen Design.

April 2014: Golden Sands is sold

Jackson Health to invest $1.4B in capital improvements

Quote:

Jackson Health System is planning a $1.4 billion expansion and renovation for its facilities over the next 10 years.
The capital plan comes on top of an $830 million bond approved by voters in 2013. It would include over 200 projects at Jackson’s three campuses and in new locations throughout the county, according to the South Florida Business Journal.

“Our mission is to make sure we provide the best quality health care to every Miami-Dade resident whether they can afford it or not and we want to make sure we provide great facilities as well,” Jackson’s CEO Carlos Migoya said.

The project’s largest components include $117.4 million for a new rehabilitation hospital, a $115.7 million hospital for the Miami Transplant Institute in partnership with the University of Miami, $40 million for a pediatric ambulatory care center, and $40 million to build urgent care centers in multiple locations around the county.

NEW HEADQUARTERS:

BBC Worldwide, a subsidiary of the British Broadcasting Corp., last week celebrated the opening of its new Latin American headquarters in Coral Gables. The new facility at 255 Alhambra Circle will serve as the company’s hub for all Latin American and US Hispanic operations and initiatives. The site will have a staff of 50 “multi-media professionals” for channel distribution, content, formats, digital sales, licensing and merchandising, the company said. “The opening of this regional trading hub represents a natural extension of 80 years of presence in Latin America and enables us to continue to increase our footprint in the region,” said BBC Worldwide Executive Vice President and Managing Director Fred Medina. “We have big ambitions for Latin America and the new headquarters are our launch pad,” said BBC President Global Markets.

No problem. I'm glad to share it. Miami has changed a lot since then, but you should try and visit again soon.
