A developer is proposing to demolish the Exxon gas station on Alton Road in South Beach, replacing it with a 5-story mixed-use structure.
In a letter to Miami Beach planners, an attorney for the developer described the proposed design as “elegant.”
1840 Alton Road is planned to include:
- 17,113 square feet of office (levels 3 and 4)
- 2,496 square feet of retail (ground floor)
- a 7,999 square foot residential live/work unit (level 5)
- 44 parking spaces (mostly on level 2)
The project was reviewed by the Miami Beach Planning Board in July, and is scheduled for a hearing by the Design Review Board in September.
Miami Beach has significantly more gas stations per resident than New York or San Francisco even if the Exxon is demolished, according to a presentation from the developer.
Kobi Karp is the architect. Arkadia Property Group is the developer.
