The Tallest Tower In Miami Beach Is Now Complete

Miami Beach has a new building that has taken the title of the city’s tallest.

Five Park, a 48-story, 519-foot tall luxury condo tower, received its TCO, its developers said.

It is now the tallest tower in the city of Miami Beach (although there are much taller buildings across the causeway in the City of Miami).

Condos range from 1 to 4 bedrooms, with prices from $1.5M (initial plans called for 280 condos). There is also 50,000 square feet of amenity spaces for residents.

The development includes the adjacent three-acre Canopy Park, which was built as one of the conditions for gaining approval to build at such a tall height. The park opened in 2022.

The Daniel Buren-designed Canopy Bridge, which will connect the park to the South of Fifth Baywalk, is set to break ground later this month.

Arquitectonica was the lead architect, with interior design by Gabellini Sheppard and design direction from Anda Andrei.

David Martin’s Terra and Russell Galbut’s GFO Investments are the developers.

Moss Construction oversaw construction and delivered the project on schedule. Moss recently began work at the Villa Miami tower in Edgewater, which is also a Terra development.

Fantastic addition to MB. The park we got out of this development makes it worthwhile. They did a great job on the park.

It’s about time Miami Beach has some height. Love this and looking forward to many more.

This comment got 17 likes??? We should turn South Beach into Hong Kong?

You know we have gridlock traffic nearly every weeknight evening already, right? There are only so many people you can fit on a little island.

Guarantee I’m the only actual South Beach resident commenting on this article. The rest are developer shills and phallically-obsessed skyscraper porn addicts.

The building is an obscenely disproportionate monstrosity. A towering monument to greed and corruption.

The building looks great, now they need to buy out all the properties further up the road between Alton and west ave, change zoning to allow for towers of 600ft, dissolve the alley way and create more developments Like this that encompass the entire city block. Looks like they could squeeze in 7 more towers up to 14th street.

Why stop there? Let’s raze the whole City north of 5th Street and replace all the structures with 1,500 ft towers!

pedestrian bridge?

Yeah, I’m kind of surprised that the city gave them the TCO without the bridge that was integral to the approvals.

But if I recall reading somewhere, the City was in charge of permitting and getting approvals for the bridge, so it’s their own fault.

Kind of crazy that the private sector can build an entire 500′ tower and a park before the city can build a pedestrian bridge.

The bridge is still happening. What’s the problem?

^^evidently the problem is the building already has its TCO and still no bridge

The City may have been in charge of permitting (not even sure if that’s true — seems like a conflict of interest) but they’re not building the bridge. The developer was supposed to build it, that was part of the deal for the height limit exemption.

Now that the TCO is issued the developers will pack up and go, and the City will end up having to sue them to force them to build that bridge. You read it here first.

Just like when the Flamingo built that waterfront Baywalk behind their buildings in exchange for permitting for various upgrades…then refused to open the gates on either end so the public could use it.

Developers say and promise whatever’s necessary to get what they want, then wipe their butts with the agreements they made. On to the next grift.

Good, it’ll be in the way for a Metrorail expansion.

I’m so in love with this beautiful ecliptical structure! It brakes completely with most of the boxy skyscrapers in our landscape.

Comparing all glass vs stucco is like comparing apples to oranges . Isn’t opera tower a dorm for the university of Miami ?

Great development. Further investments like these are necessary & less regulations. Which will happen for sure, thanks to the new upcoming era under Trump’s leadership.

But that would never be built here because the land is far too valuable to not build luxury – so you don’t really have a point.

Where’s that guy who told me I was lying about the Tower of Babel casting a huge shadow over that little parklet? You can see it in the pics! Based on the angle of it, those photos were taken at about 1:30 – 2:00 PM. It tracks clockwise across the park every day.

They should have put the park on the south side of the building. Then South Beach visitors entering on the Alton flyover would be greeted by a (little) bit of greenery instead of a giant parking podium right in their faces.

Because we don’t want a trashy casino in our evolving downtown area. That was one of the best decisions Miami has made.

Yeah…with 4,500 hotel rooms and convention space to rival Orlando and San Diego. Imagine if that was approved 14 years ago. The economic development would be staggering.

This tower should never have been built. It is too tall for South Beach.

I don’t think high rises should be built all over south beach but I do think this building at its height is in an appropriate location

Should be taller with more to follow. We need to bulldoze much of the rat-infested low-rises and replace with tall, beautiful towers.

Hell no!!!. Build those in Miami, sunny isles, etc… Miami Beach has its own character . I love tall buildings, but Miami Beach is unique in its character and the only decent historic area Miamihas. Please keep it as it is.
