    Construction is nearing completion on the Ritz-Car Construction is nearing completion on the Ritz-Carlton Hotel and Residences, a 45-story skyscraper at 1185 Broadway in NoMad. Designed by Rafael Vinoly and developed by Marriott, Ritz Carlton Hotels, and Flag Luxury Properties, the 580-foot-tall tower will yield 250 guest rooms spread across 150,000 square feet, as well as a collection of 16 one- and two-bedroom penthouse residences on the upper levels. Lendlease is the general contractor for the project, which is located at the corner of Broadway and West 28th Street. The Erin Boisson Aries team at Christie’s International Real Estate is handling the sales of the penthouse residences. Photographs by @mchlanglo793 show more of the cladding on the podium and below the flat parapet. Some minor work still remains to be completed on these sections. Guests enter through the main lobby next to the motor courtyard along West 28th Street and will have access to food and beverages provided by ThinkFoodGroup. Michelin-starred Chef José Andrés will operate his Zaytinya and Bazaar restaurants within the Ritz-Carlton along with the planned rooftop bar on the 43rd floor that will come with two terraces. Andrés is also curating an in-residence dining menu. Also coming soon is a 6,800-square-foot spa and wellness center, a Club Lounge, multiple event spaces spanning 11,000 square feet with a 3,500-square-foot grand ballroom with 17-foot-high ceilings, and business and a la carte guest and owner services. A full list of services can be found on the Ritz-Carlton’s main website. The Ritz-Carlton should likely open in early 2022. Check out our New York YIMBY article to see the interior penthouse renderings and list of amenities and finishes.
    Safra National Bank is moving forward with their p Safra National Bank is moving forward with their plans to develop 3050 Aventura, a 12-story office building slated for 3050 Northeast 199th Street in Aventura, Florida. The 200-foot-tall structure is designed byFoster + Partners with ODP Architecture & Design as the architect of record. The City of Aventura granted the bank approvals for the project, allowing for the redevelopment of the site that is currently improved with a 2-story building occupied by Safra. Plans for the new building calls for the development of 113,650 square feet of office space along with two basement levels for parking. Renderings of the structure depict an inverted pyramid-like superstructure enveloped in a glass curtain wall. The 12-story tower is dressed with striking vertical and horizontal metallic lines, resembling the aesthetic of a diamond or some type of crystal. The design falls in line with the common traits of Foster’s buildings, often making great use of angled or inclined concrete columns. Site work is now underway for the new building as the demolition of the former wraps up. A schedule or time frame for construction has not been announced but Florida YIMBY will keep a close eye on this exciting project.
    One hidden architectural gem in NoMad is the Gilse One hidden architectural gem in NoMad is the Gilsey House, an eight-story building addressed as 1200 Broadway and located at the corner of Broadway and West 29th Street. The edifice was once a former 300-room hotel upon its completion 150 years ago and still stands as one of the most charming and elegant buildings within the Midtown neighborhood that's witnessing an ongoing hotel and residential construction boom. Directly across Broadway is Rafael Vinoly's Ritz-Carlton hotel and residences, while to the right of the photograph is his other NoMad skyscraper, 277 Fifth Avenue. Meanwhile the Empire State Building stands behind in the background. Photograph by @mchlanglo793
    Miami’s Urban Development Review Board (UDRB) is Miami’s Urban Development Review Board (UDRB) is currently reviewing proposals for 710 Edge, a 55-story mixed-use building at 710 Northeast 29th Street right on Biscayne Bay in Edgewater, Miami. The tower is being developed by 710 Edge LLC, a collaborative effort between several developers including Michael Konig, Alex Posth, Louis Birdman and Kevin Venger. ODP Architecture & Design is leading the design of the 650-foot-tall skyscraper, sharing a strong resemblance to the Zaha Hadid-designed 707-foot-tall One Thousand Museum on Biscayne Boulevard where the firm is listed as the architect of record. Plans call for 460,160 square feet of new construction between the tower and an attached garage, which includes 70 residential units, 13,037 square feet of commercial space and 160 parking spaces. Newly revealed renderings from ODP Architects depicts a slender superstructure towering over Biscayne Bay and nearby buildings. The design of the tower shares a strong resemblance to One Thousand Museum, using fluid curves and an exoskeleton. The tower will be clad in dark tinted laminated glass, dark grey anodized aluminum and clear glass handrails along the balconies. 70 units will be spread across 342,848 square feet, with each level featuring one or two residences at the most. The majority of the residences will begin on the 10th floor. The top floor will have a 1,025-square-foot event lounge and sky lobby offering unobstructed vies of Biscayne Bay and Miami Beach. A heliport will be perched atop the roof at 650-feet. Find out more about this exciting project on Florida YIMBY.
    Looking south at the Lower Manhattan skyline durin Looking south at the Lower Manhattan skyline during golden hour. Herzog & de Meruon's 56 Leonard Street in Tribeca and Skidmore, Owings & Merrill's One World Trade Center in the neighboring Financial District are the most prominent skyscrapers in the skyline from this perspective. It will be nice to one day hopefully see Norman Foster's revamped supertall design of 2 World Trade Center come into view between these two New York icons and reshape the skyline. No finalized renderings have been released, but YIMBY will keep an eye out for that architecturally and historically long-awaited moment. Photograph by @mchlanglo793
    Core formwork has reached several levels above gro Core formwork has reached several levels above ground on NATIIVO, a 51-story mixed-use building under construction at 601 Northeast 1st Avenue in Downtown Miami. The 588-foot-tall structure is designed by Arquitectonica for Sixth Street Miami Partners LLC. The development will yield nearly 932,859 square feet of space for mix of dwelling and lodging units, office spaces, retail venues and a parking garage. Located just south of the Miami Worldcenter complex, the property is bounded by Northeast 1st Avenue to the west, Northeast 6th Street to the south and Northeast 2nd Avenue to the east. Photos by @skyalign show the Doka Frami Xlife formwork swiftly being assembled with the rising steel rebar, forming what will eventually become the core walls for the elevator shaft and overall structure. Several perimeter and interior columns have been poured in and solidified throughout the ground floor level with rebar rising into the next floor awaiting more framing units. The ground floor level will feature at the least double height ceilings if not triple height considering the appearance of the concrete perimeter columns along Northeast 6th Street. Pumps from shell contractor L&R Structural Corp can be seen hovering over and into the core formwork pouring concrete. The tower will yield 448 residential condos, 100 Gale hotel rooms and 140 Gale hotel-condo units, 127 Creative HQ office condos, 70,000 square feet of shared amenities by LDV Hospitality. The ground floor will offer commercial spaces, a Bodega Taqueria and a Dolce Mercato. Urban Robot Associates is designing the interiors. NATIIVO should top out some time toward the end of 2022 and be done in 2023.
    Scaffolding has begun to come down from FÖRENA, r Scaffolding has begun to come down from FÖRENA, revealing portions of the brick façade of the 12-story residential building at 540 Sixth Avenue in Chelsea. Designed by Morris Adjmi Architects and developed by Landsea Homes and DNA Development, the 80,000-square-foot building will yield 50 units in one- to three-bedroom layouts marketed by Fredrik Eklund and John Gomes of The Eklund Gomes Team at Douglas Elliman. Ryder Construction Co. is the general contractor for the project, which is located at the corner of West 14th Street and Sixth Avenue. Photographs by @mchlanglo793 show the gradual dismantling of scaffolding, offering a first look at the masonry wall and window grid. The craftsmanship already looks promising from the small exposed section of the exterior. The bricks cover about two thirds of the overall façade, while the upper levels on the southwestern corner are clad in gray metal paneling. Renderings show FÖRENA with its grid of recessed windows surrounded by gray brick walls. Starting on the eighth floor, a number of uniform setbacks step away toward the northern and eastern edges of the structure. Each setback will act as a private terrace and will be lined with dark metal railings and topped with shrubbery and trees. Above the setbacks, the upper portion of the building is enclosed in a sleek metal envelope resembling exposed steelwork. Above the parapet are several slightly extended mechanical sections covered in horizontal metal grilles that will be mostly obscured from street-level view. YIMBY last reported that FÖRENA will be finished later this year. Check out our New York YIMBY article from last Friday to see the list of amenities and interior finishes.
    With nearly all of its glazing installed, the 50-s With nearly all of its glazing installed, the 50-story skyscraper at 320 S Canal Street, aka BMO Tower, can now be seen in its final form along the Chicago skyline. Co-developed by Riverside Investment & Development alongside Convexity Properties, the 727-foot-tall behemoth is one of the city’s tallest new structures, let alone office buildings. The structure is situated in West Loop Gate directly south of the iconic Union Station, and is replacing a former parking and retail structure. Chicago-based Goettsch Partners is the project architect. The firm’s tower at 320 S Canal tapers via a series of step-like setbacks that also house the aforementioned terraces. The glazing meanwhile, comprises of a corrugated glass and metal. The metal panels extend downward into six V-shaped trusses. The large majority of the 1.5 million square feet will be office space, ranging between 29,000- and 32,000-square-foot floor plates. Tenant features include floor-to-ceiling windows with wide city views, 12-foot-high ceilings, and private terraces on select floors. Also within the tower will be a fully-equipped fitness center, a conference center, and restaurant space at the base. Bordering the west side of the property will be an urban park designed by Wolff Landscape Architecture, now a part of Confluence. This 1.5-acre green space will come with an oval-shaped grass area, meandering pathways, flora and walkable garden areas, and various seating alcoves. With a construction price tag at $900 million, Clark Construction has served as the general contractor. A full completion and move-in is still on track for spring 2022. Photographs by @jckcrwfrd
    Visitors that come to the four-story indoor-outdoo Visitors that come to the four-story indoor-outdoor Summit One Vanderbilt observatory are first greeted with the southern views of New York City that go beyond Lower Manhattan toward the Verrazzano Narrows Bridge and Atlantic Ocean. Meanwhile the opposite view looking north gives an equally remarkable vantage point with the residential supertalls along Billionaire's Row, along with Central Park, the Upper West Side and Upper East Side, the George Washington Bridge, the Hudson and East Rivers, and even as far north as White Plains and New Rochelle on a clear day. The slender towers peak above the horizon with their thin profiles and unique engineering aspects that make them stand at such dizzying heights. Photograph by @mchlanglo793
