Little River Tower Submitted To FAA, Demolition Permit Issued

A tower planned in Little River under Florida’s Live Local act is advancing.

Miami’s Building Department issued a total demolition permit for the property on September 9, records show.

On September 17, the FAA received a submission showing a proposed structure height of 360 feet above ground, and 368 feet above sea level on the property.

The 28-story tower had a hearing before Miami’s UDRB in July.

The board unanimously voted to recommend approval of the development, with the following conditions:

  • Improve the detail of the arches
  • Add large-scale glazing to the northeast corner of the tower to elevate the design
  • Articulate the roof of the retail building to enhance the overlooking views

The tower is planned to include 454 residential units (of which 182 will be Live Local affordable, nearly all in the podium)

There will also be 19,219 square feet of commercial, and 697 parking spaces spread over 7 levels of garage.

8038 And 165 Owner LLC is the developer. Arquitectonica is the architect.

I like the effect of balconies that don’t appear to be protruding from the building.
Good design.

Nice looking project but the nearest urban area is all the way down in the design district. Wish they connected the city more rather than building high buildings spread out…

Give it time. There are several proposals to density the area in between.

If they built 3-4 story walk ups in between maybe then it could connect

Design district ends on 44th street, this is near 79th street that’s a huge area in between. They would need to build row houses and townhomes (no high rises) in that area to fill it in and still would take decades. It would be cool if they did that but developers refuse to build anything low scale here.

it's fisl, baby

this area of 2nd between 79th and 82nd is miserably gridlocked in the mornings and afternoons. 454 added housing units on should help with that!

Just add light rail and median buffer-protected bike lanes with shade trees like in Medellín.
