The permit was issued on August 26, with Coastal Construction listed as the contractor, records show.

Three towers are planned on the property, to be built in phases.

Eventually, the development will include 2,350 residential units and 1,924 parking spaces in three towers.

It would be nice to see more effort in connecting Park West and Brickell by revitalizing the historic section of Downtown Miami in between these two neighborhoods. The Flagler Street remodel is almost done but little activity in restoring the buildings around it sadly

It’s a 10 minute walk… but yes the are in between needs major work. Flagler especially could become amazing but not there yet…

Why not Flagler?

Miami has outstanding buildings and construction company’s.The more the rest of the city of Miami looks great the more the lack of positive action in the Flagler district should be questioned less than four months from 2025.

I don’t even know where to begin with this design. This is not architecture.

I wonder how many cool new businesses these towers will bring to Park West.

Witkoff really packed it in on this one. Lazy

Maybe the developer didn’t cough up enough $$ for a better design.

You can tell because the previously released ground floor from a year ago showed three cylinder-like towers (similar to the design for the Hyatt).

When this was released, it was clear they ran the numbers and decided to change directions and go with three boxes. And they are not even nice boxes 🙁

I don’t remember that proposal… Previously, it was a box, watered down from two preceding, solid proposals.

I was hoping for a better design but it’s great for density.

These towers are atrocious and Witkoff should be embarrassed to have their name on this product.

Not that bad but they could have had some innovative design, for sure.

This is one of the most prolific development groups in the world we are talking about. And their contribution to the city is essentially 3 melo buildings. Embarrassing.

The traffic will be insane with all these thousands new residents moving to downtown. We need better infrastructure so people can leave their cars at home or we will spend hours in our cars to go a couple of miles away.

This property is steps from the Metromover, Metrorail, Brightline, and TriRail.

What else do you think this development “NEEDS”?

One thousand people – half of the building – will descend on a metromover station between 8:30 to 9:30. How many hours that will take ? The other half will take one thousand cars to go to work – in groups of ten cars per traffic stop.
Nobody is going to be able to even use the Brightline station.
There is absolutely no human or vehicle transit design been done in Miami. There will gridlock for bikes…

We need fillers, I get it, but these could and should not be fillers. It’s a prime location and they are tall enough to make them iconic. Please update the design.

Agreed. Couldn’t the city have made more demands on the developer? Correct me if I am wrong, but aren’t the developers getting enormous tax breaks building in this area — designated a distressed area?

It’s an upscale housing project.

Yeah it looks like soviet housing

If Soviet housing had floor to ceiling glass windows, glass balconies, marble lobbies, and swimming pools for both the sunrise and sunset, you would be correct.

My least favorite upcoming project…boring, out of scale and so lacking for that premier spot.

Build up Flagler street. Fix the Olympia theater and turn it into a destination for concerts in downtown , build more music venues there. And restaurants Put tv screens make it like Times Square. Make Flagler street a vibrant destination.

This ugliness brings the city down. It’s like having a rat infestation . Someone mentioned Soviet. That’s a perfect description. If they painted them white or used a joyful color.. it would help.

Sure it is.
“Perfect” description.
Can someone take a moment to show me what “Soviet housing projects” look like?
