Miami news




Challenging, but not quite beating Brickell CityCentre's planned supertall tower for supremacy, mega-mall developer Jeff Berkowitz has submitted plans to the City of Miami for an observation tower called "Skyrise Miami"  that would be located on an existing pier behind the Hard Rock Cafe at Bayside Marketplace and would rise to 1,000 feet above sea level. (the FAA has already approved)
The swooping Arquitectonica-designed tower resembles a giant crowbar or the 'R' in 'Rise' and will include three observation decks with what seem to be uninterrupted views of Downtown, Brickell, and Miami Beach. The exposed structure gives the tower a rather industrial aesthetic which might read quite nicely against the Port of Miami backdrop. More imporantly, the entire development would provide a terminus for the Bayfront Park boardwalk and encourage people to activate the entirety of the waterfront. Additional amenities include a restaurant, nightclub, private lounge, ballroom, movie theatre, and some vagueamenities/amusement rides only known as "Skyplunge" and "Skyrise Drop." Whatever your opinion, it's hard to argue with the fact that Miami has been longing for a new landmark building. Could this be it?

Apple to launch store on Lincoln Road

Architect says design will reflect on the automotive history of the area


A rendering of the new Apple Store
A rendering of the new Apple Store
Construction has kicked off on a 14,000-square-foot Apple Store on Lincoln Road.
The new two-level store will be located at 1021 Lincoln Road next to the new Gap store, according to Exmiami. The retail space has been vacant since the 1940’s when an Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg auto shop was destroyed.
The architect, Touzet Studio, aims to evoke the site’s history as an auto salon and reflect the glassy automotive showrooms that were once ubiquitous along Lincoln Road
