Shoreline Review Submitted for “The St. Regis Residences” in Miami
Related Group’s “St. Regis Residences” submitted site plans for a shoreline development review on July 18th. The tower, announced in the past, will rise 48 floors and feature 152 residences. Part of the site plan highlights the benefits to pedestrian connectivity and experience. On both the east and west portion of the property, there will be a public baywalk access path that leads to 450 additional linear feet of baywalk. The property is raised from the ground, making steps and a sloped pathway necessary for accessibility. The tower will be setback 50 feet from the water. Likewise, If plans materialize, the baywalk will have a public “lawn sculpture”, cast in place benches, and other lighting features to enhance the pedestrian experience. Along both the property’s frontage and baywalk will feature adequate native and foreign greenery. The tower will be the 621 FT tall, the tallest on the strip. The Design Architect is RAMSA (Robert A.M. Stern Architects), and the Architect of Record is CFE (Cohen Freedman Encinosa & Associates). The tower will rise at 1809 Brickell Ave.
FAA Grants Crane Approvals to Ombelle in Fort Lauderdale
Ombelle, a project in Fort Lauderdale featuring two 43 floor towers, has recently received approval for two tower cranes. Both tower cranes will rise 620 FT on different portions of the site. In a document by the FAA, both filings were given a “determination of no hazard to air navigation for temporary structure”. The document also mentioned that the cranes exceed obstruction standards, but aren’t a hazard to air navigation. These filing approvals come at a time where fence permits, demolition permits, and more were approved. The current site today shows wooden fencing installed and a cleared lot. Construction permits like structural or foundation permits aren’t filed yet, but the developer (Dependable Equities) still has movement in the Accela portal. Ombelle will include 1,100 apartments, 11,217 SF of commercial space, and 1,100 parking spaces at 300 3rd NE 3 Ave. Photos and plans credited to ODA Architecture.
