Detroit Tower Intended to Signal City’s Rebirth

The City of Detroit’s Downtown Development Authority has approved a plan to build a 52-story, 734-ft.-tall mixed-use tower designed by New York City’s SHoP Architects and Detroit’s Hamilton Anderson Associates that would be the tallest in the city and, ideally, signal Detroit’s rebirth, Architect’s Newspaper reported. Developed by Detroit’s Bedrock on the former Woodward Avenue site of Hudson’s department store, at one time the tallest department store in the world, the project would include residences, retail and parking built around what SHoP Principal William Sharples calls “a huge and inspiring new public space.” If all goes as planned, groundbreaking will take place on December 1.

Latest Proposal for Miami’s Brickell Neighborhood

Karam Group and Claro Development have proposed a 76-story residential tower at SW 8th Street and S. Miami Avenue in Miami’s rapidly transforming Brickell neighborhood, SkyRise Cities reported. Inspired by the growth of a flower with balconies getting larger as they go up, “18” would have approximately 390 condominiums, a 66,618-sq.-ft. retail podium and 464-spot parking garage. Designed by Nichols Brosch Wurst Wolfe & Associates, Inc., 18 would have an expansive outdoor amenity area atop the podium. It would be built on the site of a Burger King restaurant, immediately south of downtown.
