Plans Unveiled For 598-Unit ‘Wave Pattern’ Tower Across From Midtown Miami

Plans have been filed for a 35-story tower across from Midtown Miami.

The design of the tower will use vertical frames in a wave pattern to add visual interest, according to an architectural narrative submitted with the filing.

The development is being proposed under Florida’s Live Local Act. Exactly 40% of units will be income restricted (and they will be studio units).

The tower is planned to rise 400 feet and include:

  • 598 residential units
  • 18,108 square feet of commercial
  • 4,547 square feet of office
  • 654 parking spaces

Plans are for 41% of units to be studios, 30% 1-bedrooms, 20% 2-bedrooms, and 10% 3-bedrooms. 66% of the units will be below 650 square feet.

A 30% parking waiver is being requested.

A hearing before the Urban Development Review Board is scheduled for November 20.

Arquitectonica is the architect.

Cymbal DLT is the developer.

Beautiful tower. Much better design than the horrendous Mercedes tower in West Brickell. And better location too. Midtown is better than West Brickell.

Well at least the waves make it to the top for a decent crown. If anything, a design like this should be the bare minimum for a filler.

Looks radically out of place – design makes zero effort to draw from it’s surroundings

This is front running whats to come along that corridor – someone has to be first.

The first skyscraper ever built was also radically out of place by this logic,

I’m not talking about the size – I’m talking about the architectural language.

The “first skyscraper” is considered the Home Insurance Building in Chicago – which drew heavily from it’s surroundings for it’s architectural inspiration

I thought Wynwood Norte was going to be a low rise urban district?

The LLA bypasses local regulations to allow taller buildings in proximity to other taller buildings, with some exceptions. At least this one is along a major street and short enough to be a transition to low-rise areas.

Awful. And so out of scale for the neighborhood. Not a NIMBY but without zoning regulations, you get Houston (only major city without zoning laws in the US) which has skyscrapers in residential neighborhoods, like we see here.

It’s Midtown Miami. You make it sound like they’re putting a 35 story bldg in the middle of Pinecrest.
