Can get an idea of how much the city has changed. Tower City. Also a nice close up of 1000 museum earlier on. The nice feature about this boom and in the last 10 years or so are the canyon effect that has developed. You'd think it's a tropical Chicago.

Cool video.

Man, the Zaha Hadid tower is going to have major street presence!

Yes, just like a tropical Chicago! Except for the fact that there's only a handful of people or no one around, and that it's much less dense, and that you're basically in the suburbs by the end of the video.

Enough with the Chicago comparisons... it's silly, weak, and needy.

Hey Chris, thank you so much for sharing this. I haven't seen it yet. It's been a long time. Everything changed. I remember everything. Gosh! I miss South Florida. We will go back to Florida for next year. I will try to take more pictures. Can't wait to be done soon.

The change and contrast to S. Miami Ave is even more staggering.

Drone Photos Show Construction of Luxury Miami Condominium

Quote:

Miami's oceanfront properties are hot commodities, where real estate investors and wealthy buyers won't hesitate to spend millions to reserve their own piece of the Florida coastline. But comparably sized properties just a few blocks away offer more space and privacy while softening the blow to your pocketbook. That's the credo behind Mast Capital's Louver House, a new low-rise boutique condominium with homes between 2,088 and 2,432 square feet.

I guess you are not from Miami. It is hardly in the suburbs by the end of the video. That area is the southern part of Brickell with skyscrapers condos on the east side of the avenue. With Brickell City Center opening soon, and the ton of skyscrapers and condos under construction or planned, Miami's skyline will look more and more like Chicago's. By the way, I walk on Brickell all the time and there lots of people walking around with South Miami Ave (not on the video) been the busiest.

^Don't fall for the bait.

No, I'm not from Miami... and that's totally irrelevant anyway. So annoying when people say that on here, as if being from somewhere somehow bestows knowledge supreme. Though I am a part-time resident, and have had a home a couple blocks from where this video ends for 20 years. So yeah... I'm just a bit familiar with the area.

This is where it is... it's certainly not urban (particularly in the urban sense of Chicago).

I'm not suggesting that it's the suburbs as in Kendall or Westchester, but it's certainly nothing like Chicago or any other urban American city immediately adjacent to the central business district. Once you cross 15th, Brickell starkly becomes suburban in form... and that suburban atmosphere only increases on S Miami Ave and into the Roads.

Miami is nothing like Chicago... other than their skylines are a linear in form along a shoreline that characterize the skylines. But anyone who's been to Chicago and Miami could easily see the obvious contrast between the sheer mass and density and height and variety of the buildings in Chicago vs. the relatively sparse, short, sameness of Miami. Since you walk on Brickell all the time, you should go to Chicago and walk around and compare.

Miami is Miami... it does what it is good at very, very well, so stop with the neediness of being compared to a bigger city.

What's useless are the continual mentions of the obtuse comparison of Miami with Chicago. It's far beyond a tired act. Chicks don't dig desperate guys.

Be happy and cool with what Miami is.

Charles Sieger’s Liquid Lofts is now shovel ready after getting approval from the City of Miami’s Planning Department on July 18.

The developer had requested setback waivers that would allow the tall building to be built on a small lot at 35 Southwest 1st Street.

Liquid Lofts is proposed to include 482 apartment units.

FAA approval for an 866 foot building height was granted last year.

set to rise !

Wow, looks like Chicago's skyline by Lake Michigan. Can't believe this photo that was taken not to long ago is already outdated.

Miami Riverside Center May Be Razed for Apartment Project

Quote:

There are plans to replace the City of Miami's administrative building with two 36-story towers, according to The Next Miami. The Adler Group's project, called Nexus Riverside Central, features 900 apartments, 150 hotel rooms, and 20,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space.

The Next Miami reported that if the project is approved, the city would get a percentage of the revenue generated by the project. Adler would also replace the office building lost due to the project.

The architect behind the project is Stantec.
