First Resident Moves Into Panorama Tower, Florida’s Tallest

·55 Comments

Over 1,000 new residents are about to move into Brickell, after Florida’s tallest tower opened to residents yesterday.

Panorama Tower was granted a TCO from city building officials, and the first resident moved in yesterday, according to a social media account operated by the developer.

There are 821 rental apartments in the building.

Rising 85-stories and 868 feet, Panorama is the tallest tower ever built in Florida.

Ok so people are complaining about this being a rental. So which do you rather expensive condos rich people only live in twice a year? Or a rental that maybe you can live in without having to be rich that you can live in all year? I don’t understand why the hell are you complaining about!

Actually, more rich people buildings are needed in Brickell to attract wealthy business people who don’t want to live next to 500 (or 800) of their closest friends, or a beach with sea level issues. Brickell doesn’t have a lot of luxury product inventory (fine finishes, great architect/ID, boutique # of units).

That said, the rents at Panorama are as high as some of the rentals at the expensive condos for rich people…

Just saying…

Have you seen Brickell when it floods? We need the rich people to pay the taxes for infrastructure to mitigate flooding, or as some put it, sea level rise. The issue is people in Miami Beach are fighting against it, until another flood comes and this time, costs millions in property damage.

I see your point, but there are a few flaws. By that logic, corporate tax trumps individual lux property tax and brings more hard traffic. Taxable corporate income is then accelerated by a dense downtown workforce as well as commuters. That will also attract federal subsidies for problematic infrastructure.

Also the location still operates as a taxable property, so the delta on tax revenue versus a mega luxury building is negligible.

Yes. It does so very rarely, and lasts for a few hours.
Once a year or less.

The Club at Brickell Bay, Tibor Hollo’s other building in Brickrll, is worse. At least PNorama has glass balconies instead of those nasty aluminum railings.

Yes. They are good. Not great. Bottom tier Bosch is good, the laminate flooring is horrible. The fixtures are okay. They are renting upper floors at $3.50 per sq ft. There are several building with MUCH higher finishes for less.

How many times are they going to point out that it’s the tallest building in Florida? As if that’s a big deal, there is a tower being built that’s 3,000ft yet we haven’t even reached 900ft.

Ya’know, I was going to point out the same thing, but decided not to. I feel like you, BIG DEAL!.. the Okan Tower (if built) will easily pass this building in height.

This building is hideous and it will get trashed in approximately 36 months from the renters. Just look at all the buildings with a lot of rentals in front of Pace Park.

Renters paying 4k a month arent trashing the building.. They’re also forced to have renters insurance

If I’m experiencing the streets in the area, my mind and eyes are focusing on what’s there to visit, see, and enjoy at ground level, not wondering if some “building” is trying to insult me.

So you’re not wondering when you’re walking on the narrow sidewalk a few feet from a colorless, formless 120′ high concrete podium wall, blocking the light, trapping you close against the busy Brickell Bay Drive traffic? What exactly will your mind and eye be focusing on then? What will you be experiencing? I’d be thinking about the other side of the street. Cheers

Wondering what mondocondo? Yeah, I certainly would be wondering what that hot chick walking towards me would like in my pad with no clothes on. And if the action is better on the other side of the street, then yeah, that’s where I’m headed.

I’d rather walk 50 yards to the east on the Bayfront than on Brickell Bay Dr. Who cares about “the pedestrian experience” except some nutty professor and the zombies who think that commenting on “the pedestrian experience” makes them sound smart.

Absolutely right. That’s because Tibor was able to get the project built with a decade old approval under the prior building code. Miami 21 be damned. Maybe someday the city will start applying its fancy “new urbanism” building code, but in the meantime Tibor gets a pass on all his projects. Cheers.

For the life of me, I just don’t understand how this made sense as a rental building. If you took every person living in Brickell and moved them in here, it wouldn’t fill it to occupancy. I question how the upkeep of this building will go as a rental, and the amenities, will likely be stressed to the max. Just look at that pool for 1,000 people.

Right. I mean, I lived in NYC for 15 years and now work 50 feet from this building. I actually like the project. But if I am a developer in Miami, I question whether the market can absorb several hundred additional apartments that will rent in the $2500-$4500 price range. With a rental buidling, you essentially remove the possibility of demand from foreigners. I really don’t care one way or another, I just thought given the prime location, a luxury condo buidling would have been easier to sell that rentals.

Magazine, you do realize that this building includes amenities from a movie theater all the way down to it’s own restaurants, don’t you? Literally, once inside you practically don’t have to leave this building for anything and that justifies the $2500 – $4500 price range.

Nope, not when you can walk a block away to a legit movie theater in BCC.

The ‘music room’ for example at Panorama is just a room, with no instruments, nada. You can just go in there and ‘jam’ – just a PR stunt.

Certainly the gym won’t be better than Equinox, much less LA Fitness in MBV.

Dude, you sound like a person who drives a Mercedes Benz complaining to his friend about his Lexus while riding on the passenger side. Both cars have a stereo radio with CD player, air conditioning and heat, electric seats and windows, and gets you from point A to point B in comfort.

I’m not paying at least $2500 a month in a building that has it’s own theater and fitness room and not use it because there are bigger ones down the street.

The point was one wouldn’t pay a premium because there is a “move theater” in a resi rental building when one can go to a much better theater a block away. In other words the theater amenity example doesn’t justify the higher rent.

People who have the money pay for things you or I wouldn’t dream of spending that amount on because we don’t have it. Don’t knock em, just keep trying to get on their level.

Disagree, just because you ‘have it’ doesn’t mean you will spend it, this is why those who ‘have it’ often ‘have it’ while every receptionist in Miami leases a BMW…

You are clearly not a developer.
Nor a demographer, or that thoughtful.
You wrote, “If you took every person living in Brickell and moved them in here, it wouldn’t fill it to occupancy.”
Really? 34,000 people in Brickell, and they wouldn’t fill an 821 unit rental building?

Go back to old articles – most people never believed rentals would work at Panorama and thought the intention of the developer was to convert to condos.

I am sure the views are great, but what do the finishes and floorplans look like? Tibor has classically been known to deliver cheap product i.e. Club at Brickell, Opera Tower…essentially renter/frathouse/roommate cess pools.

It is likely this was brought to market as rentals as the only way TH was able to get a construction loan was to do it this way… time will tell.

Owning the land for basically nothing helps. His rents are aggressive. Who knows what he values the hotel for. Cheers
