82-Story Supertall Planned In Downtown Miami

Sonesta International Hotels Corporation says it has executed an agreement to build The James Hotel & Residences Downtown Miami.

The 82-story $850 million, building will be a supertall, a press release said.

A separate press release by AD1 Hospitality says the building will be the tallest in Miami.

It will also have the highest elevation luxury bar and restaurant in the Americas.

There will be around 336 fully furnished and decorated residences, with sales to begin in Q2 2025.

A four story club planned. Amenities will include snow and rain rooms.

Groundbreaking is expected in Q1 2026, with opening in January 2028, the release said.

“We are excited to collaborate with Sonesta on The James Hotel & Residences Downtown Miami, a development that embodies the vibrancy and sophistication of Miami,” said Daniel Berman of Mint Developers.

Anyone know where this building is to be located? I can’t find an address on the press releases.

Flagler? Are we sure? I don’t think this is the plan for that street

Judging by the rendering on their website, it might be the vacant corner lot between NE 1st St and NE 3rd Av, opposite of CVI.CHE 105

That website is not the developers website. It is the website for “Miami Dream Real Estate”.
231 E Flagler St is on the north side of Flagler, West of that ratchet Marshall’s store.

The actual address is 231 W Flagler St, Miami, FL 33130. catty-corner to the Library.

Ah….yes, this makes much more sense.

Yea, the photo on their website shows it directly east of I-95 and directly north of the downtown distributor. So West Flagler makes more sense than East Flagler.

On second thought… some of the other photos show it in close proximity to 50 Biscayne. So it looks like whomever was working on the 231 Flagler website made an error in making those mockups showing the building footprint near I-95/the downtown distributor.

Thanks for the link! This will be near Waldorf. Love the colors and exterior with exoskeleton. They sound serious about this. Hope it happens! 🤞

It’s always a great day to see something tall like this get built. Now to the politicians, let’s build an infrastructure to accommodate this.

For a functional and meaningful infrastructure in Miami, we need to restructure Miami’s government first.
We keep electing the same old dinosaurs that treat Miami like the town it was 60 years ago.

Literally build this on any other street than E Flagler. The spot across from C.Viche 105 would be fine on NE 1st but this is going to kill the vibe of the historic street and make it take so much longer for it to become a nice area

when they don’t show the parking garage, you know its going to be tacky mural

They can’t have an ugly parking garage on East Flagler. It’s the one street in Miami lined with historic buildings with character. Tacky wouldn’t even begin to describe doing that there

Normally I would like this building, but it’s quite underwhelming for a supertall. Then again, so is stacked boxes.
