Midtown 6, originally planned as a tower of 398 condo units in the previous cycle, will feature 447 residential units as well as ground floor retail, following the success of existing retail on Midtown Boulevard.

“We’re looking forward to another successful collaboration with Magellan Development and setting a new standard for luxury apartments in South Florida,” said Alex Vadia, Principal of Midtown Development, the development affiliate of Midtown Opportunities.

Magellan Development Group and Midtown Development are currently developing Midtown 5, a new mixed-use addition to Miami’s Midtown. When complete, it will have 400 luxury apartments, retail and office space. Construction is expected to be completed by end of year 2016. Midtown 5 topped off in April 2016.

Midtown Development is the development affiliate of Midtown Opportunities, a real estate investment company that purchased 22-acres in Midtown Miami in December of 2010. Magellan Development Group is Chicago’s premier real estate development company, responsible for the architecturally iconic Aqua tower in downtown Chicago. Similar design elements of this iconic Chi-town building are present in the design of Midtown 5 and can be seen in its undulating façade with a sculptural quality. Magellan Development Group will break ground this summer on the Wanda Vista, positioned to be Chicago’s newest luxury high-rise and third tallest building in the city.

Designed by Chicago-based bKL Architecture, Midtown 6 is slated to break ground in 2017.

Miami board approves Midtown 6, 7 on second try

After a one-month delay, Miami’s Urban Development Review Board gave Midtown 6 and Midtown 7 its blessing Wednesday afternoon.

Last month, board members put off recommending approval for the mixed-use project’s special use permit until developer Magellan Development Group submitted more detailed drawings.

Architect Grace Ames satisfied the board’s request during a 30-minute presentation. “I am happy that you responded to us,” said board member Neil Hall. “Sometimes, I feel we make comments that go unheeded.”
Hall said the new drawings provided a much clearer picture of how the project will look. “I like the scale and the positioning of the buildings,” Hall said.

Magellan is partnering with Alex Vadia, who owns the land, to build two 32-story towers that will house a total of 838 apartments and 39,718 square feet of retail space in the podium underneath the two towers.

Despite recommending approval by a 4-0 vote, some members were still not satisfied with the design. “I find the treatment of the large facade unacceptable,” Anthony Tzamtzis said. “I find it monotonous and too plain.”
Robert Behar agreed with Tzamtzis. “There should be more continuity between the podium and the tower,” he said. “I don’t think it is there yet.”

Recently, Magellan executives told The Real Deal that Midtown 6 and Midtown 7 would cost between $100 million and $200 million to develop. The company also has an unnamed institutional investor that is acting as an equity partner.
Magellan is seeking approval for a major use special plan and other rezoning requests from the planning and zoning board. However, the company won’t begin construction on Midtown 7 and its 391 units until seeing how successful its Midtown 5 project, which is close to completion, will be.

Renderings Reveal New Design For Midtown 7 At 3001 NE 1st Avenue In Midtown Miami
https://floridayimby.com/2022/09/ren...own-miami.html

New renderings from Arquitectonica reveal a new design for Midtown 7, a 31-story residential highrise planned for 3001 Northeast 1st Avenue, one of the last undeveloped parcels in Midtown Miami. Developed by AMLI Residential (AMLI), the 330-foot-tall structure is proposed to yield 421,101 square feet of space, including 389 residential units, 28,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space, and 501 parking spaces. Under the PPF AMLI 3001 NE 1ST AVENUE LLC, the developer filed a warrant application with Miami’s Urban Development Review Board requesting approval for several modifications to the Major Use Special Permit (MUSP) cemented for the site in 2017. Previously approved plans called for a 309-foot-tall structure with 386,779 square feet of space, including 391 residential units, 30,709 square feet of ground-floor retail space, and 505 parking spaces.

The updated renderings reveal a vastly changed design from the previous proposal, which features a new set of materials and design modifications that include more excellent articulation and increased space programming along the frontages. The developer states the change would create an improved aesthetic character and pedestrian experience per the design review criteria in Miami 21.
