If this project is making the downtown NIMBYs who pushed ultra out angry, then I’m all for it.

It’s ugly, heavy handed, no glass cladding, no spire, just square roofs. Does not stand out in a good way. Resembles something from the former Soviet Union. Look at the rendering of Biscayne Blvd in the post. Horrible!

Yeah but it’s a dumb move of Paramount not to purchase this lot right in front of its million dollars units! Who wants to pay millions to have the views blocked by this thing?

I think it won’t happen the way it is portrayed in those renderings because I went to the architects website and they describe the project as an ‘investigation’ where they ‘explore’ this ‘strategy’. I am sure Chataeu Group has plans for this site and most likely will not end up being a square simply because they need to make money out of their investment but It won’t end up being as this study. Hopefully they integrate the design well with the pedestrian needs and help to make Biscayne more appealing to residents to walk by because during day is just very uncomfortable to walk because there are not enough trees and there isn’t enough commercial activity to attract people.

Can we get a rooftop infinity pool? You know, something new and luxurious?

This project is serving Minneapolis skybridge circa 1980 and it isn’t fresh or new.

Agree about the offices but don’t think this is ugly. Maybe once all the prime real estate is built with condos they will start to infill the back lots with offices since the views aren’t as important. CEO’s move there offices close to their houses so maybe it’ll workout.

Downtown Office vacancy is pretty high now. Why don’t you build an office and give it a shot? Especially 7 blocks from the core, and wasting the water views.

Who asked for units at Paramount though? Also just because Paramount WorldCenter has a stunning complex doesn’t mean you have to use biased propaganda to make others believe that other development projects will not be built. If you’re telling the truth, at least use facts from the developers themselves.

Waterfront views?

That’s always been the problem with the thinking of a lot of people concerning Miami. Unless the thinking of what’s worthwhile and what isn’t is changed when it comes to the makeup of Miami, progress and change is always going to be slow for this city.

People are attracted to Miami because of the water. If you think water views don’t matter here, then you have zero grasp of the Miami market.

Sadly you are right, but as I tell all my clients if you want water views you have to purchase in a building that is on the edge of the baby, even if it is only a block away, chances are you will eventually lose it.

Sorry but you have to be pretty stupid to buy in a building with water views that has a empty lot in front of it and not presume another high rise will rise there blocking your view. Stop blaming the brokers for buyer stupidity !

The area around the freedom tower should get landmark status and be a beautiful open area in the middle of the future busy and dense downtown. That’s how you make a city beautiful, by preserving some and rebuilding some others

“The skybridges would include event spaces and skylounges as amenities for residents, as well as the city of Miami.”

Now that’s kool. And it also appears that the Metromover will be incorporated into this project.

Nice render but that’s all! This won’t happen not ever not in Miami… It’s to nice I’m 100% sure the board will find a reason to stop it… Some other developer will file some bogus lawsuit. After all that the render will be dumb down to nothing more then 2 square stucco buildings on pedestals as usual!

Miami architects don’t know how to design and build a Square. That takes a little inguinity, plus city leaders would make sure it’s watered down.

Yes, spires are so creative. Why don’t you offer your fully integrated and compliant design, price it, and then see if you can make a decent return on your investment. Cheers.

How are you gonna be biased about flat-roofed buildings? There’s plenty of buildings just like that including the U.S. Bank Tower, and even the Renaissance Center in Detroit. Either calm down, or please do some research before you make your claim.

Why do we want to be like another big US city. Should we really be striving to become another boring city like Portland or Atlanta. Part of Miami’s charm is that it’s fun and doesn’t take itself to seriously. Let’s stop becoming boring
