Proposal For Tower At 2600 Biscayne Submitted To FAA At 529 Feet

Plans for a tower at 2600 Biscayne have been submitted to the Federal Aviation Administration.

According to the April 13 filing with the FAA, the tower is proposed to rise 521 feet above ground, or 529 feet above sea level.

In July 2022, a partnership of developers announced they had closed on the purchase of 2600 Biscayne, and have unveiled development plans for the property.

In January, the developers completed a utilities agreement for 399 apartments, 174,524 square feet of office, and 9,260 square feet of retail.

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

Arquitectonica is the architect.

Biscayne needs one less lane, better timed traffic light and a bike lane.

Yes, homes around Biscayne Blvd where people will live inside and eventually walk out of them to cross the boulevard, which now is not suitable for the increasing foot traffic of pedestrians.

Tough shit, they bought there knowing it’s a busy street. Working people need to be able to drive in and out of the offices and taking away lanes will make traffic worse. And yes, MOST downtown office workers live nowhere near a Metrorail or mover station and therefore won’t be taking it downtown.

Well then based on your argument, you bought a car knowing that there would be traffic. Why expect the building of more roads? Deal with it.

Non sequitur. Taking away a lane of traffic isn’t the same as requesting more roads being built. Keep what they got. Can’t pedal your bike on Biscayne like you did as a kid in the burbs? Deal with it.

Yes because building more roads doesn’t take away from parks or anything else. Roads are apparently created in imaginary places🙄🙄🙄

This is a city. Bikes belong here just as much as cars. Deal with it.

Racism has no place in Miami. White people aren’t leaving and have been valuable residents and contributors to the city since it was founded. Miami is a melting pot of people from around the country and world, and that is what makes it great. On a separate note, the city benefits from new ideas and elevated standards, and has never been better.

That’s not true. Most people live next to the mover or rail and commute regardless of socio economic status. We have the most robust transit systems in Florida and it’s a huge asset for growth and quality of life.

Biscayne needs to close for more street festivals, like a City of Miami LGBT pride festival. Miami Beach is a good example!

There is no City of Miami LGBT pride festival. Do you mean the Wynwood one?

No, we need a City of Miami sponsored and promoted one, city-wide, down the main city corridor Downtown and Brickell, and it can loop around to Midtown and Wynwood.

Those aren’t festivals. They’re brawling spring breakers from Baltimore and Atlanta on bath salts.

Biscayne needs an overlay

Biscayne Boulevard needs a streetcar line, from 163rd Street and the Miami River, with western curves along 163rd Street to Golden Glades on the northern end, and down Brickell Avenue to 8th Street, to 37th Avenue on the south end (which could be a future transfer point for a Metrorail extension down 37th Avenue to Douglas Road Station).

This article is about a tower being planned, not your North Eastern Midwestern walkable city story.

I love the roof detail and the glass base facing Biscayne. The NEMA building on the other hand will have a yucky painted mural facing Biscayne…

…and this one will have a yucky mural on the side and still visible from Biscayne Boulevard. Still, NEMA is a terrible looking building as a whole

I’m looking forward to seeing this built. It will stand out from the essentially boring buildings that surround it.

I love that the building is going up on the west side of Biscayne Blvd. I’m into the design.
