Brightline Developer Proposes Glassy New Courthouse Tower On Flagler Street

Quote:

MiamiCentral and Brightline’s parent company, Florida East Coast Industries, is proposing to build a tall, narrow courthouse tower for Dade County.

FECI, along with affiliates of Hunt Construction and Moss Construction are part of New Flagler Courthouse Development Partners, which submitted an unsolicited proposal last month.

The new courthouse would be located on Flagler Street. Renderings appear to place it on a narrow, county-owned lot just west of the current courthouse and just south of the MiamiCentral supertowers.

FECI says they have already invested over $1 million in planning the new courthouse. Two possible designs by architect NBWW, one for 600,000 square feet and one for 450,000 square feet were submitted.

Gene Stearns an attorney who has been advocating for a new building, told Dade commissioners at a meeting yesterday that the current courthouse facilities are “third world” and an “embarrassment.”

At the meeting, commissioners voted to proceed with negotiations with FECI, while also issuing an RFQ to other possible developers. Mayor Carlos Gimenez opposed both the negotiations and the proposed site, saying he preferred a location next to the Children’s Courthouse and didn’t want FECI to have a perceived edge over competitors.

I haven't heard anything on that particular design in ages. That was suppose to be residential functionality. Looks like it was part of the court house redevelopment. I'd probally archive it.

Looks like there is co ownership of the lots used for this project. I don't think its happening (54 Flagler)

Beautiful building.

I like this design but it is the second ranked proposal not the first. The county has moved the vote to Dec. 17.

City Council: “Can we see the most banal design please ?”

CONSTRUCTION WILL BEGIN IN FEBRUARY ON NEW 23-STORY CIVIL COURTHOUSE IN DOWNTOWN MIAMI

Quote:

Dade’s new civil courthouse is set to break ground next month in downtown Miami after county commissioners voted to finalize a deal to build it.

Groundbreaking is set for February, a spokesperson for the developer told the Herald after the December 18 commission vote.

Plenary Group of Australia will develop the 23-story building and then operate it for 30 years, in a public-private partnership.

Miami-Dade won’t make any payments until the building is completed. The county will then make payments starting at $25 million per year if the developer meets certain operating metrics.

Several other bids that came in significantly more expensive were rejected.

The existing courthouse dating to 1928 is so rundown that it has not had a certificate of occupancy since 1976, according to Law.com.

The historic courthouse will likely be sold and repurposed. County commissioners have pledged it will be preserved and restored.

HOK is the architect for the new tower. Tutor Perini is the contractor.

Completion is expected in early 2024.

AUSTRALIAN DEVELOPER SUBMITS APPLICATION TO BUILD 435-FOOT MIAMI-DADE CIVIL COURTHOUSE IN DOWNTOWN TO FAA

Quote:

An Australian developer is quickly moving forward with plans to build a civil courthouse for Miami-Dade County in downtown Miami.

Plenary Group was awarded a contract to build the 23-story courthouse late last year, and has said it will break ground in February.

The company is based in Melbourne, Australia – around 10,000 miles away from Miami.

Last week, the developer submitted plans to the Federal Aviation Administration for a permanent courthouse building height of 435 feet above ground, or 443 feet above sea level.

A work schedule sent to the FAA lists a May 2020 start date for construction.

Plenary has incentive to build a quality building as quickly as possible. Miami-Dade won’t begin making payments until the building is open, and subsequent payments will be based on operating metrics.

HOK is the architect for the new tower. Tutor Perini is the contractor.

Completion is expected in early 2024.

Foundation Equipment Arrives On Site Where 474-Foot Courthouse Will Be Built (Photos)

Quote:

Downtown Miami’s Civil Courthouse appears to be finally starting foundation work.

Photos show that equipment from foundation contractor Malcolm is now on the site.

Construction on the tower has been delayed as the developers moved through the approval process and worked to move 5G equipment from the site.

The courthouse tower will rise 25 stories, but high ceilings mean that it will be more like a 50-story building in height, rising 474 feet above ground.

The old courthouse is a beauty. This one calls attention to itself too much. It's not pretty but tries to take the attention away nonetheless. So not digging the design.
