1315 Partners LLC has submitted a 50 floor tower in Miami’s growing Omni District. The tower, designed by Behar Font Partners, will be the tallest tower in the Omni District if built. The developer recently had the property added to the Metromover Subzone RTZ. Under section 33C-15 of the county code of ordinances, notable development parameters are required in the development like 12.5% of the units being workforce housing, elderly housing, certain density bonuses, and no parking requirements.
In total, the project will include 378 units (of which 48 are workforce), 1,150 square feet of commercial space, 321 parking spaces, and 12 bicycle parking spaces. Units range from studios, 1 bedrooms, and 2 bedrooms. The development will rise 516 feet to the highest occupied floor, not including mechanical space making the tower measure around 530 feet.
A generous pedestrian realm is included with a 10 foot sidewalk and a 15 foot colonnade, creating 25 feet of sidewalk space. The parking podium is screened from outside elements, although Miami-Dade code stresses the importance of residential units lining podiums. A large lobby is also added between NE 13th Terrace and NE Miami Court.
The site’s location is 1315 NE Miami Ct.
