The Tallest Tower In Miami Beach Is Now Complete

Miami Beach has a new building that has taken the title of the city’s tallest.

Five Park, a 48-story, 519-foot tall luxury condo tower, received its TCO, its developers said.

It is now the tallest tower in the city of Miami Beach (although there are much taller buildings across the causeway in the City of Miami).

Condos range from 1 to 4 bedrooms, with prices from $1.5M (initial plans called for 280 condos). There is also 50,000 square feet of amenity spaces for residents.

The development includes the adjacent three-acre Canopy Park, which was built as one of the conditions for gaining approval to build at such a tall height. The park opened in 2022.

The Daniel Buren-designed Canopy Bridge, which will connect the park to the South of Fifth Baywalk, is set to break ground later this month.

Arquitectonica was the lead architect, with interior design by Gabellini Sheppard and design direction from Anda Andrei.

David Martin’s Terra and Russell Galbut’s GFO Investments are the developers.

Moss Construction oversaw construction and delivered the project on schedule. Moss recently began work at the Villa Miami tower in Edgewater, which is also a Terra development.

Fantastic addition to MB. The park we got out of this development makes it worthwhile. They did a great job on the park.

It’s about time Miami Beach has some height. Love this and looking forward to many more.

The building looks great, now they need to buy out all the properties further up the road between Alton and west ave, change zoning to allow for towers of 600ft, dissolve the alley way and create more developments Like this that encompass the entire city block. Looks like they could squeeze in 7 more towers up to 14th street.

Why stop there? Let’s raze the whole City north of 5th Street and replace all the structures with 1,500 ft towers!

Miami Beach needs housing. This is the perfect location, east facing properties will have indefinite unobstructed views of all of Miami Beach and the ocean. West facing condos above 400 ft will have amazing city and bay views. If they excavate down 40ft for subterranean garages, the spoil could be used as fill for expanding north bay village to the north. The ground floor and podiums could be used for luxury car dealerships. Even if these 7 more towers were developed, that would only be about 2-3 thousand units.

The people that will live in the building can afford it. And by living there those same residents aren’t bidding up the price of housing in some other building or neighborhood.

Because it wouldn’t be appropriate to build a 1500 ft tower anywhere in Miami Beach. Maximum height should be capped at 650 ft and in only certain areas. There’s really not that many areas on the beach to build that tall, also, would prefer the fire station built into the new development versus on the park. Eventually the single family neighborhood between Alton and flamingo park will be razed to expand the park so that it’s more like a Central Park setting.

pedestrian bridge?

Anonymous

Yeah, I’m kind of surprised that the city gave them the TCO without the bridge that was integral to the approvals.

But if I recall reading somewhere, the City was in charge of permitting and getting approvals for the bridge, so it’s their own fault.

Kind of crazy that the private sector can build an entire 500′ tower and a park before the city can build a pedestrian bridge.

The bridge is still happening. What’s the problem?

^^evidently the problem is the building already has its TCO and still no bridge

The City may have been in charge of permitting (not even sure if that’s true — seems like a conflict of interest) but they’re not building the bridge. The developer was supposed to build it, that was part of the deal for the height limit exemption.

Now that the TCO is issued the developers will pack up and go, and the City will end up having to sue them to force them to build that bridge. You read it here first.

Just like when the Flamingo built that waterfront Baywalk behind their buildings in exchange for permitting for various upgrades…then refused to open the gates on either end so the public could use it.

Developers say and promise whatever’s necessary to get what they want, then wipe their butts with the agreements they made. On to the next grift.

I heard they were sued about the bridge by a neighboring property directly south a fifth hence the delay

Great development. Further investments like these are necessary & less regulations. Which will happen for sure, thanks to the new upcoming era under Trump’s leadership.

Where’s that guy who told me I was lying about the Tower of Babel casting a huge shadow over that little parklet? You can see it in the pics! Based on the angle of it, those photos were taken at about 1:30 – 2:00 PM. It tracks clockwise across the park every day.

They should have put the park on the south side of the building. Then South Beach visitors entering on the Alton flyover would be greeted by a (little) bit of greenery instead of a giant parking podium right in their faces.

Supposedly, the US capital will be moved from DC to Miami, so a lot more towers will clearly be built.

But that would never be built here because the land is far too valuable to not build luxury – so you don’t really have a point.

Because we don’t want a trashy casino in our evolving downtown area. That was one of the best decisions Miami has made.

Yeah…with 4,500 hotel rooms and convention space to rival Orlando and San Diego. Imagine if that was approved 14 years ago. The economic development would be staggering.

Call it “luxury” all you want. We all know a casino in Miami would turn in to a large version of the Clevelander. No thanks.

Should be taller with more to follow. We need to bulldoze much of the rat-infested low-rises and replace with tall, beautiful towers.

Hell no!!!. Build those in Miami, sunny isles, etc… Miami Beach has its own character . I love tall buildings, but Miami Beach is unique in its character and the only decent historic area Miamihas. Please keep it as it is.

Nobody is touching the historic properties. What should be up for grabs are the shitty low-rise apartment buildings surrounding Washington Ave.
