New designs of the planned One Bayfront Plaza in downtown Miami surfaced in December filed by Florida East Coast Realty, calling for 902 apartments, 200 hotel rooms, 532,000 square feet of office space, 103,959 square feet of retail, and over 1,000 parking spaces in a new behemoth tower at 100 South Biscayne Boulevard.

In an interview with Miami Today, via The Next Miami, we learn Tibor Hollo, the founder of FECR, plans to break ground on the 92-story high-rise in January 2019, taking an estimated three years and change to complete.

"This will be the building of the future -- it is totally different,” Hollo said. “We're still building for yesterday, but this building is the future. We're starting on One Bayfront Plaza in January 2019. It's 1,049 feet tall, and if you look at other buildings they look like yesterday. This looks like tomorrow. The whole demeanor of the building will be different.”

Hollo clarified there will actually be 1,052 apartments and 200,000 square feet of retail, with the giant tower connecting to a Metromover station. The design architect is Kohn Pedersen Fox and ODP Architecture & Design is the architect of record.

Miami’s current tallest building is the under-construction Panorama Tower in Brickell, another FECR development, which will rise to 830 feet upon completion and also includes luxury apartments (821 units) in addition to retail, hotel, and office components.

Another planned development expected to rise to the maximum allowed 1,049 feet was recently announced in The Towers by Foster + Partners, with FECR also part of that development team.

Miami Beach’s Eleven on Lenox, which launched sales over the summer, has released new renderings showing off more of the interiors, which are being designed by AD 100 designer Charles Allem of CAD International.

The Shoma Group luxury townhome development comprised of 11 “ocean-inspired beach houses” is located at Lenox Avenue and 15th Street, a few blocks away from Lincoln Road. Zyscovich Architects is the architect.

The three-story residences start at $2.9 million and 4,403 square feet, each including a Poliform kitchen with Gaggenau appliances, four parking spaces, private elevator, and a rooftop terrace with a summer kitchen and a pool.

“We focused on a specific palette for the residences, utilizing shades and textures reminiscent of the ocean and sand,” Allem said. “The materials we selected – including honed materials, stone and marble – appeal to all senses, particularly sight and touch.”

Allem is offering two turn-key packages that can be purchased by buyers.

As the Miami International Boat Show and Yachts Miami Beach both wrap up today, we thought it would be fun to take a look back over the weekend and absorb both massive boat shows in an Instagram highlight reel of sorts.

Photos were compiled from three locations across Miami:

1. A makeshift superyacht marina along Collins Avenue in Mid-Beach across from the Eden Roc (Yachts Miami Beach)
2. Virginia Key (Miami International Boat Show)
3. The Island Gardens Marina on Watson Island just off the McArthur Causeway (Yachts Miami Beach)
