JEM Miami Worldcenter Gets Approval For 800 Foot Cranes (Photo)

Several very tall construction cranes have been approved for the site where the 67-story JEM Private Residences is being built at Miami Worldcenter.

Developer Naftali Group is building 786 residential units, of which 259 will be condos. Condo owners will have a separate entrance from the remainder of the residential units.

The Federal Aviation Administration issued a determination letter regarding the cranes on March 24.

The first crane is planned to reach a height of 820 feet above ground, or 828 feet above sea level.

The second crane is planned to rise 777 feet above ground, or 785 feet above sea level.

The permanent height of the tower will be around 700 feet.

Groundbreaking for JEM took place in April 2024. A site work permit was issued in October, and a phased vertical permit was issued in February.

Naftali does flawless projects. So happy this is being built in Miami. It will be gorgeous to our growing skyline.

Very nice! They have a great reputation.

They also chose Arquitectonica. These developers must know something that the average guy doesn’t.

Miami Worldcenter is a development in Miami’s Park West neighborhood. Hope this helps.

Miami Worldcenter is in Park West, which is Downtown, which is in Miami, which is in Florida, which is in America, which is in the World! 💁🏼‍♀️

Park west was scrapped a long time ago – probably because it’s not a good name. They removed the sign and name on maps

Look at that 395 traffic, when will Miami ever learn?

Eventually they’ll realize that we need actual 21st Century public transportation. Every new building brings in around 1,000 new residents, and in Downtown it feels like a new building is being announced every week. Don’t they see how infeasible traffic will be?

21st Century public transportation, which is not a 1970s APC with maximum speeds of 30 MPH and low capacity a.k.a. Metromoober.

Probably not quite that many, and metromover ridership is still abysmal as of early 2025, compared to how high it got in the early to mid 2010s. Rail and MM peaked from 2012 to 2016, before Uber, and bus peaked well before that in the late 00s during that boom where gas prices were almost higher than minimum wage.

Uber was 100% a thing before 2016 lmao. What revisionist history.

Rail ridership is lower because the people running it have had multiple stations shut down (entire the entire inner loop of the MetroMover for a year +) and there’s more delays. They need to get their act together, but it almost seems as if they’re doing it on purpose.

Uber launched its service in Miami in June 2014. To claim Uber didn’t catch on in full force until around 2016 is quite reasonable. And the Metromover loop shutdowns didn’t occur until 2022, 6 years after the ridership peaked and began to trend downwards.

Infeasible, huh?
So….what is your prediction?

New buildings have been built since at least 1992. Every year some whiner is whining about traffic. Every year that certain type of person predicts that everyone will leave because it’s too crowded.

Never heard anyone say, when the population increases and new development enters the market that is a sign of “infeasible”.

Can you please explain?

I can assure you that all the residents of 10 Museum Park and 1000 Museum are NOT excited about the JEM. With the two E11ven towers going up – do we really need 5 – 700 foot tall towers in a 3 block radius? 2nd Ave traffic is already horrific with the Kaseya Center and Adrienne Arscht center.

There will actually be another building between this and I-95 but also, there will be an iconic “bridge” a huge park underneath that which will connect to a waterfront park, this is also close to museums, art and concert venues, a university, a train hub. It’s also in between the Brickell, Wyndwood, Midtown, and the beach…and 15 minutes from the airport. So yes, a lot of people would want (and currently want!) to live here!

Miami is becoming a big city and this is a normal thing. We aren’t in a small town in Ohio, sorry.

According to Ana Navarro, it’s an only a shell city that houses her city Coral Gables, which she never leaves.
