The render is misleading....the area around it is a giant construction site with Miami World Center and it's various buildings around it. Also, the notorious City of Miami central jail high-rise is adjacent

Here is the location so you can get a sense that it won't be alone:

Possibly my favorite!

Ha! Nothing says "luxury" like "Central Jail-adjacent".

Very unique design and I like how it currently stands alone without too many skyscrapers directly beside it.

The ads leave out that it would back right up against a pair of 55 story towers that were just built. Rather ugly ones too.
It would go on the fenced lot: https://www.google.com/maps/@25.7799...7i16384!8i8192

Finally, I love this building!

If this is a penis, then I say the more penises the better.

It's kind of comical that if someone referred to a building as being vaginal, many here would huff and puff and throw a fit.

Okan Tower’s Phased Foundation & Vertical Permits Reactivated This Week, Penthouse Units Released

Quote:

Okan Tower’s phased foundation permit has been reactivated, along with a phased vertical construction permit for the 70-story tower.

The developer also launched sales for ultra-luxury penthouse loft units, with pricing starting at $2,000 per square foot.

The phased foundation permit was first applied for in January 2020, but went into inactive status during the pandemic after Okan put the project on ice during the pandemic.

The phased vertical permit was first submitted in March 2020.

Okan relaunched sales for condo units at the project in October 2021, with Miami’s real estate market as strong as ever.

In December, a master construction permit for the project was reactivated, along with a tree permit.

Both of the phased permits were reactivated on April 25, with Suffolk Construction still listed as the contractor.

Okan said this week that it was launching the Loft Penthouse Collection as the tower “nears groundbreaking,” including some units that will have 22-foot floor to ceiling glass windows (there will also be single-story units with 10-foot glass windows in the collection).

“This limited assemblage of our premier units was designed to appeal to those seeking the ultimate in elevated living in an urban walkable setting,” said Bekir Okan, Chairman of Okan Group.

Sales have been strong this year, according to in-house broker Fortune International Group.

“Throughout the first quarter of 2022, we’ve experienced remarkable sales momentum and we’re confident these new unit offerings will move very quickly,” said Edgardo Defortuna, President and CEO of Fortune International.

Groundbreaking is planned for June, the developer said earlier this month.

I realized Miami Dade county jail is too overcrowded and very old jail. Why they can't build new county jail facility?? Way too overcrowded!! Too many criminals are in Miami Dade county jail for decades. Not enough staffing, not enough bed for inmate in the cell. It's time for change!

reminds me of this tower starting construction in Toronto right now, except a lot taller (The Toronto one is 552ft)

Quote:

Clearing of the Okan Tower site appears to be underway, after a tree permit was issued by the city.
Groundbreaking is “around the corner,” according to a May 20 email from Fortune International Group, which is handling sales for the tower.

Records show that the tree permit was issued on May 17 for the removal of 15 trees. Suffolk Constrution is listed as the contractor on the tree permit.
According to a covenant with the city, a total of five live oaks and six royal palms will be planted in the public right of way, per plans on file.

Fortune said that sales at Okan continue to be strong, with 54 sales in under 30 days.

It would be quite the shock if they held the groundbreaking around the corner.

Okan Tower Groundbreaking Is Days Away, Event Scheduled

Quote:

Groundbreaking for Okan Tower is now days away, according to an email sent yesterday by the project’s in-house brokers.

City records show that a Special Events permit for temporary tents at the Okan site is now pending.

According to the Special Events permit, the groundbreaking event will take place on June 17.

The tower will have an “alluring curved façade and soaring height,” the email says, providing a “striking profile against the downtown backdrop.”

Okan Tower will include 163 residential condo units, 236 short-term rental residences managed by Hilton, and a Hilton hotel.

The tower is planned to top off at 70 stories, or 902 feet.
