22-Story 72nd & Park Around Halfway Up In North Beach

In North Beach, the shell of the under-construction 72nd & Park tower is now nearly half complete.

72nd & Park is planned to include 270 residential units, of which 121 will be micro-units, according to a school concurrency agreement recorded in September 2022.

Around 12,000 square feet of retail is also planned, along with a 326-space parking garage, according to an earlier filing with the city of Miami Beach.

Arquitectonica is the architect.

KGTC LLC, which is primarily controlled by Russell Galbut and Matis Cohen, is the developer.

Great addition to the community. Much needed in an area that feels depressed and falling behind the rest of Miami Beach. Voters lost an opportunity with the recent referendum and if anti-development sentiment continues, this area will lag the rest of the county. Very sad that an area so close to the beach is one of the most dilapidated.

Real question is when are they starting construction on Ocean Terrace Hotel.

I’ve seen this building rise from my balcony and I can’t express to you the speed at which they’re working. They complete a story every 2-3 days. It’s impressive. A great addition to the North Beach area. Lots of exciting projects happening in this area.

I drive by it daily and it’s unreal, having lived in other areas of the country i feel like i live in singapore or something. Miami contractors do not waste time or maybe it’s that miami local goverment stays out of their goddamn way

Until infrastructure and transportation are updated, over-development will make the beach unlivable for its current residents.

probably 15-10 contiguous retail frontages between finvarb site and this project across byron, carlyle and 72nd. This area sotuth of the park, east of dickens, west of collins and north of 71st is very suitable to a cocowalk style situation.

I know this will be an unpopular comment, but the residents of this neighborhood don’t want this building. It was approved as part of a shady deal by city leaders and doesn’t fit with its surroundings. Instead of building it along the beach with the other high rises, it was built on a quiet residential street with 2-story apartments. The infrastructure of this area is not designed to handle towers filled w Airbnb dormitories like this one. I’m all for progress, but this development stinks.

We need more housing

If you kept that neighborhood 3 stories you’d get $5m townhouses due to demand. The choice between this and a 2 story affordable housing neighborhood doesn’t exist, the choice is mixed use or mega expensive.

I love the waterfront townhomes on normandy isle across the bridge on 71st. Lived there for a few years and got priced out… more townhomes on the beach please.

Nice looking project but too much parking. Micro units should be allowed, 0.25 space/unit, AT most.

So then the other 75% of residents will what, just sit around collecting welfare? How will they drive to work? Will they all walk to work at the Publix up the street and bag groceries? Take $40 Uber rides back and forth to their jobs on the mainland? See why the developer didn’t hire you?

The vast majority will drive, which is why the developer included so much parking. He knows his customers.

So true. 71st Street and adjacent streets are always in gridlock.

The bike path on the beach is already awesome but maybe this will force us to use it even more beyond recreation. I leave my apartment at 73rd and ocean terrace on my bike and im on 5th in south beach in 20 minutes. Quite nice to never even see a car.

Sure, they’ll take the bus just like Brickell residents take Metromover…

Please give it a rest with parking. You are obsessed with your war against the car.

With no public transportation we need more parking spots. Only 2% of citizens use public transportation, maybe less.

Parking Yes

There is not enough parking. The public park across the street needs more public parking.
