FAA Application Submitted For Two 600+ Foot Cranes On Biscayne Boulevard

Two filings were made with the Federal Aviation Administration yesterday for tower cranes at a Biscayne Boulevard construction site.

The site shown in the application is at 2600 Biscayne, where a 40-story tower is planned.

According to the August 16 filings, the cranes are proposed to rise 627 feet above ground or 635 feet above sea level.

The permanent height of the building is 521 feet above ground, or 529 feet above sea level, according to a June FAA filing.

2600 Biscayne was recommended for approval by the UDRB in July 2022. According to plans shown to the board, it is planned to include:

  • 399 apartments
  • 106,343 square feet of office
  • 9,030 square feet of retail
  • 686 parking spaces

A site work permit, vertical construction permit and tree permit are all in process with Miami’s Building Department, with Coastal Construction the contractor.

Oak Row Equities is the developer, and Lndmrk Development is a minority partner.

Arquitectonica is the architect.

I really like this tower. Even though the parking podium is partially exposed, they tried to at least hide it somewhat. The angled glass office space is pretty sick too

Hide what? The horrible mural makes it even more blatantly obvious like a bald spot combover.

I’m concerned that the city is permitting extensive high-density development in an area that relies on car transportation, which I fear will lead to increased traffic congestion.

It is on the outside, there’s no metro, it’s like Jersey city or Westchester without any convenient public transportation.

Metro? Are you serious. Why not bring back horse and buggy while you’re at it. We need to plan for the future of transport, the train is dead. Also, edgewater is about as center of Miami as you get.

The train is dead? Tell that to Brightline which is going to extend to Tampa next. What’s your alternative? A ferry to downtown and brickell?

Brickell is pretty much direct center – check out the metro map and see how far south it reaches, encompassing even those high-demand neighborhoods like Coconut Grove and Coral Gables. On the flip side, Edgewater is way up north, right on the edge, and it’s a bit of a haul to get within that 15-minute metro radius. Unless they go ahead and expand the metro line, I don’t think Edgewater will ever truly become part of the core Miami metro area.

Miami Beach has no metro either, is that not a city…? What an dumb comment. Miami’s urban core goes from brickell to design district.

Miami Beach is a vacation spot and retired area. It’s not in the city core – it’s like Staten Island, without the ferry.

Miami Beach isn’t even in Miami, and it’s a side-show tourist attraction.

The core is anywhere within a 15 minute walk of an existing metro stop. Unfortunately, edgwater is not in the core but it’s a good alternative outside the core if someone wants more affordable waterfront and doesn’t care about being in the urban core.

We true Miamians don’t call Metrorail or Metromover “the metro”. Nobody living/working here says that.

Anonymous

That’s not true. In Miami we say “metro” for both the rail and mover, which interconnect and share the metro prefix. Even the County officially calls them jointly the Miami “metro” system. Get with it and learn about your own city, which we share together.

You share the lingo of non-Miamians…it is MetroRAIl and MetroMOVER, not “the metro”. Tell me you’re not here or from here without telling me.

I am a Miamian, and I say “metro” – we have an expansive metro system that connects. It’s one system, with different metro lines.

The Miami METRO system, which combines the metro rail and mover, and defines the City Core.

So funny to hear these uptown newcomer hipsters preaching about walkability and public transit and do nothing to help rejuvenate the expansive metro system that is already in place in Miami! How about moving to a metro stop area and revitalizing it for a change!?!

This project is on point for the area given the height and aesthetic. Perfectly blends with surroundings

We need more office retail in this area of downtown. This project will definitely add much needed space

This isn’t remotely close to downtown. It’s not even in the Miami city core. It’s an extension with zero connection and I haven’t heard any plans to update the infrastructure and connect it to downtown town and Brickell. Hopefully they can build a metro because traffic is going to be a nightmare.

If anything this is so far UPTOWN, it is full of strip malls and single story homes.

Just because you type in all caps UPTOWN, doesn’t mean this is uptown. All these transplants need to stop trying to change our neighborhoods…

you’re the transplant changing things, when the core is around the Miami River and our metro systems. It was always this way until some kushy-connected developer tried to make money off an area outside the core.
