Construction Permit Submitted For 650-Foot M-Tower, Contractor Named

Downtown Miami’s M-Tower has moved into the construction permitting phase.

According to Miami Building Department records, an application for a construction permit to build the tower was filed on October 24.

The filing states that the tower will rise approximately 56 stories, or 650 feet.

M-Tower will have 675 living units, the permit filing says.

A filing with the UDRB earlier this year showed the project would also have 694 parking spaces and 10,531 square feet of commercial.

Total hard construction cost is estimated at $191,710,751.

Balfour Beatty is listed as the contractor. Downtown 1st Street LLC of Great Neck, New York is listed as the owner.

The full construction plans have not yet been filed, so review is not yet underway.

A tree permit was also applied for on the same day.

A demolition permit was applied for in May, and is still being reviewed.

“Boring design?”

People are going to live there, not date the building.

Because that is the Downtown distributor that serves it’s purpose of connecting Downtown streets with I-95. Do you people on here ever use common sense?

As much as I-95 gets clogged, I have never seen the Downtown Distributor crowded. It should have been dismantled fifteen years ago for the “Grand Boulevard” scheme, and better buildings would have followed suit.

^^that means it’s functioning well and should be left alone. “Grand Boulevard” means Grand Traffic Nightmare.

How do you expect people to get on I-95 then? Into and out of Downtown?

Since May a permit is still under review. Downtown board reviewers should be handing out incentives for projects like these.

If it’s one thing Miami’s gonna do, it’s build. Over 1,200 units are being delivered on SE 1st St by this project and the new Melo tower next door. Kind of a shame that *so* many parking spaces are included with all the available transit nearby tho, it just makes for an ugly podium and attracts more traffic downtown.

All these parking spaces can initially be apartments for more density in downtown. Build metrorail to west and north.

This is as tacky and uninspiring of a design as it gets. And I love big box buildings too. Just no. Go back to the drawing board please.

The paint scheme is interesting but the structure resembles soulless 70’s architecture. Perhaps the concept art is simply a placeholder.

The painting is just as bad.

This tower hasn’t even been built yet, and it already looks dated. Come on, it doesn’t take much to make it a bit classier.

These better be workforce apartments. The architecture is so bland and boring.
