A proposal to build a 54-story tower called Downtown 6th easily passed review by Miami’s Urban Development Review Board.
The UDRB vote to recommend approval was at its February 15 meeting unanimous.
Two recommendations were given by the board to the designers of the tower:
- Evaluate the relationship between the historic building (church) across the street
- Simplify the design language with the horizontal and vertical aspects
The developer of the tower, Melo Group, has reputation for building quickly.
Melo completed two adjacent 53-story towers called Downtown 5th, with top off taking place just 47 weeks after foundation work began.
Demolition at the Downtown 6th site was completed in 2019. As of this morning, there does not yet appear to be a construction permit.
Downtown 6th is planned to include:
- 824 residential units
- 2,427 square feet of commercial space
- 639 parking spaces, with a garage masked with habitable liner units
