MIAMI | Downtown 1st | 557 FT | 58 FLOORS

MELO GROUP SUBMITS PLANS TO BUILD THEIR TALLEST EVER TOWER: 58-STORY DOWNTOWN 1ST



Quote:
Miami’s Urban Development Review Board is scheduled to review a new Melo Group proposal to build a tower in the Central Business District called Downtown 1st.

The tower is proposed to rise 58 stories, or 557 feet in total (the roof is proposed at 537 feet, with the elevator equipment roof rising 20 feet higher). That is the tallest ever for Melo Group, which has become Miami’s most prolific developer.

Downtown 1st will include:

560 residential units
2,925 square feet of commercial space
12,930 square feet of office space
453 parking spaces


A 14-story podium will be lined with office space on all levels that include parking space (floors 2-13). There will be synthetic grass adorning the garage on the south side, which faces ramps to I-95.

The 15th floor will include two pools on the north and south sides, as well as a fitness center and amenity space. There will also be air condition compressor units on the floor, along with five residential units.

Melo Group’s in-house architect is designing the tower.

Miami is a bit of hit and miss or the metro should I say but there are a lot of stellar towers rising or planned. Ingel's (BIG Group) project that was proposed in Miami Beach is stunning. Aston Martin tower, which is u/c, another gem IMO.

downtown Miami is still growing. Brickell and Sunny Isles absorbed much of the demand of the past two decades. Between Edgewater, World Center and the myriad of projects in the core of downtown, Miami's skyline is going to fill in nicely this next decade, even if none of the proposed supertalls rise.

Construction Underway At 60-Story Downtown 1st, Tallest Ever For Melo - Marking more than 10+ skyscrapers under construction in Miami, if I'm correct.

https://www.thenextmiami.com/constru...ever-for-melo/

Melo Group has broken ground on their tallest tower ever, Downtown 1st.

The tower will rise 60 stories, or 557 feet above ground. The roof will be at 537 feet, with the elevator equipment roof rising 20 feet higher.

At that height, it becomes the eighth tallest tower currently under construction inside city of Miami limits.

Downtown 1st will bring hundreds more residents into downtown Miami’s Central Business District.

The project will include:

560 residential units
2,925 square feet of commercial space
12,930 square feet of office space
453 parking spaces
The developer purchased the Downtown 1st property at 34 SW 1st Street for $13 million in 2018.

Melo is currently wrapping up construction on a twin 53-story tower project called Downtown 5th, which will have 1,042 apartments – more than any other apartment complex ever built in the Central Business District.

As always with Melo rental projects, Downtown 1st is being designed by their in-house architecture team.

I would hate to walk on the street between that parking garage and the podium of this tower. There is only so much you can do with large swaths of concrete. It's a shame they couldn't incorporate retail or something at street level.

^ The immediate neighborhood is never going to be a nice one to walk around. Highway onramps and government buildings.

Melo Group’s 58-Story Downtown 1st Nearing Completion, Leasing Underway



Quote:
Finishing touches are now being put into place at Melo Group’s 58-story Downtown 1st, a photo by Kyle Merville shows.

The external elevator system used during construction is now being removed, Merville wrote.

Test piling for the tower began in March 2021, with a tower crane installed by May of that year. In June, the foundation was poured.

Opening is scheduled for November 2022, according to the project’s social media. That would make total construction time around 1 year and 8 months, incredibly quick for a building of this size.

Downtown 1st will include 560 apartments.

Leasing is now underway. Prices start at $2050 for a 1 bedroom, $3050 for a 2-bedroom, and $3550 for a 3-bedroom.
