Developer Gets Utilities For 27-Story Gallery At Lummus Parc

The developer planning to build the Gallery at Lummus Parc has completed an agreement with Miami-Dade to connect it to the county water and sewer system.

According to the agreement recorded January 28, the development will include:

  • 256 apartments
  • 1,200 square feet of retail

The development was originally planned to include two 30-story towers with 452 units, but according to the most recent filing with planners it will include just one 27-story tower.

The latest plans also include a garage with 207 parking spaces.

The ground floor will be activated with 430 square foot of traditional retail space and a 725 square foot local heritage space.

40% of units will be income restricted as part of a development agreement with the county.

CFE is the architect.

Related Urban Development Group is the developer.

Hideous. Pool facing the highway instead of the river. Bland and ugly box with almost half the units originally planned? What a mess and an opportunity lost to add a quality tower on the river…sad

Why would the developer choose to position the pool facing the river instead of the apartments? You do realize that river-view apartments come at a premium. Residents would much rather have their units face the river.

There are trade-offs with every development—at least now the car can spot the bikini girls sun bathing! Haha.

Because people will pay a premium to have a pool facing the water. Views from the pool matter than what you see looking downward from your balcony.

Makes no sense what you said. That side of the tower would still face the river even if they had put the pool closer to the river.

And no liner units facing the river. Instead cars will get a waterfront view

This part of the river? It is a wonder that anything is being built at all (there hasn’t been a 27 story riverfront building north of Flagler Street in decades).

The splash of color looks stupid and misplaced.

I agree—the color itself is hideous, with nothing tropical or tranquil about it. It’s way too saturated, almost like a taxi cab, and it looks cheap when paired with dark grey.

I also dislike how buildings simply paint flat walls in a solid color—it comes across as inexpensive and uninspired.

Instead, color should be used in trims and finer details, or at least applied in a way that adds texture and depth. If you’re going to paint, create an illusion of dimension—just don’t slap a solid color onto a flat wall anymore, please!

The Lummus Park neighborhood used to be a relatively posh area before the construction of I-95 sixty-five years ago. Frankly, this is wrong for the area.

To have this monstrosity on the same day as the building from Zaha Hadid on surfside, it is funny

This looks a lot like the facade of the new courthouse but even worse in sheet white color.

Still an atrocious cluttered mess of a facade. Lummus Park and the gateway to Downtown Miami deserve far better.

Designers, horizontal lines can all be the same weight and still create a beach vibe, like the umbrellas lining the Côte d’Azur.

Love all the waterfront facing interaction! 👍🏼 But the yellow color looks so kiddish in terms of tone and placement. The inconsistent horizontal and vertical lines make me dizzy. 😵‍💫 Is this designed to look like bees nest? If this is the theme then use honey comb designs and different shades of yellow, but be very subtle, so the theme almost goes unnoticed by most and just looks beautiful.

Remember, “bee” intentional about every detail and have a motif that carries throughout.
