10-Story Condo Building Designed By Arquitectonica Planned In Miami Beach

Developers have filed plans for a 10-story condo building in North Beach.

The property is at 6940 Abbott Avenue and was formerly owned by AT&T.

The new building is planned to include:

  • 96 residential units
  • ground floor retail and co-working space
  • rooftop pool, lounge, fitness, and pickleball court
  • 90 parking spaces on levels 2 and 3

21 of the units will be below 550 square feet (only counting as 0.5 units under Miami Beach zoning). Another 63 units will be between 550 and 850 square feet, with 12 units between 850 square feet and 1250 square feet.

The developer told the SFBJ that condo sales are planned to start in Q2 of this year, with prices starting at under $1m. Short term rentals are likely to be permitted.

Companies controlled by Rainer Viete, Jose Boschetti, and Eduardo Otaola own the developing entity.

Ought to be pretty far under $1 million for 550 sq ft.

550 sq ft in that neighborhood no water view can’t command anywhere near $1million. If they do get buyers near $1million, I wanna get the names and phone #’s of the buyers as I got some other “great” deals for them.

Prime is 50ish st & Collins, or anywhere in Bal Harbor. There’s a difference between Prime and just desirable.

We’re the most rent burdened metro in the country, everything is prime.

^^Ok, tell us you don’t understand what prime location is without telling us.

By your definition, Florida City and Miami Gardens are Prime.

Oh, well if it has good bus service, I’m sure the millionaires will line right up for it! Please stop trying to make buses happen.

Yes, because I would definitely take the “phenomenal” bus service if I’m paying that price, just like I would take the electric beer can.

Another Boring building by Arquitectonica.. It is sad because they used to be good and interesting. Now, this firm is all over the place in the city but with sterile buildings. Questions: don’t we have other local architects? or not local like: Peter Eisenman, Daniel Libeskind, Norman Foster, BIG, Christian de Potzamparc, Renzo Piano, Zaha Hadid studio, Frank Gehry, Santiago Calatrava….etc.?

With the sizes of the apartments and the allowance of short term rentals, sounds like it will be bought by investors for air bnb rather than as residential-

The address of the ATT building is 6780 Harding … it’s west of Publix

Wrong building. ATT has multiple properties.

It would look better if the balcony columns lined up. Too much going on with the facade and it looks cheap.

This area needs more luxury buildings like this. This area will be the next Bay Harbor in a few years.

With the exception of Five Park, why can’t Miami Beach build anything taller. It looks like a great location to build something in the range of 400-500 ft. Hopefully Miami Beach grows up and eventually builds a lot more skyscrapers and even some supertalls (with respect to the historic districts) from South Beach to even North Beach.

NIMBYs would would rather have giant elongated slabs rather than taller buildings with articulation and massing that look better and minimize adverse impacts.

wanderer34

It seems the NIMBYs are all over Miami Beach. In Miami, you can build as high as the FAA wants, and even so, the FAA has a stranglehold on how tall buildings in not only Miami can be built, but also in Tampa and Orlando. If only the FAA can lift the stupid height limits which are currently stunting Miami’s growth.

The voters in the City of Miami Beach voted for the “Save Miami Beach” ordinance which prevents any waterfront building from rising over 15 stories.
Five Park is not on a waterfront plat.
Apogee negotiated forever to get the height that they currently have.
Continuum, Caribbean, Blue & Green Diamonds were the last tall ones to be finished.

Assembling enough non-waterfront land to build tall (profitably) is very difficult.

I think the “Save Miam Beach” are a bunch of old, archaic NIMBYs that don’t want any growth to happen to Miami Beach. They need to die soon so a new generation can direct Miami Beach’s future growth!

Have you taken a ride through sunny isles at all? and then gone to the beach directly after? because of these tall buildings, there is next to no sun on the beach for the second half of the day. im sure shady beaches will be awesome for tourism

Tremendous amount of dead space to the east of the bushes on top of the podium. Attractive but not otherwise remarkable.

Everybody apparently needs engaging open space when facing the parking lot of a neighboring building.

Too much parking. The design doesn’t work with that parking garage base either.

replying to anonymous

It works since the lowest unit is on the 4th floor so they overlook on top of the 2 floors buildings around. and the parking in these case is less than 1 parking per unit.

Have you seen almost every other Arquitectonica building?
