Revised plans reveal 464-foot-tall residential tower above historic First Church of Christ, Scientist in Edgewater, Miami. By: Oscar Nunez 8:00 am on October 16, 2026 Revised plans have been submitted for a 464-foot-tall, 43-story residential tower rising above the historic First Church of Christ, Scientist at 1836 Biscayne Boulevard in Miami's Edgewater neighborhood. The proposal, led by Arden Group and designed by Arquitectonica in collaboration with R.J. Heisenbottle Architects, calls for 406 residential units, commercial space, and a multilevel parking podium while preserving substantial portions of the existing church. The latest submission introduces modifications to previously approved plans and is scheduled for review by Miami's Urban Design Review Board (UDRB). The First Church of Christ, Scientist was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998 and received local historic designation from the City of Miami in late 2015. Initial redevelopment plans emerged in 2019, proposing a residential tower above the existing church structure. The property subsequently changed ownership in late 2021 through a $20 million transaction involving Fifteen Group. Revised approvals followed in 2022, incorporating 16 waivers, including 10 related to historic preservation and six concerning zoning regulations. According to correspondence submitted to the city by the project's attorney, the latest application seeks targeted modifications to those approvals rather than an entirely new development authorization. The current proposal calls for 406 residential units, an increase from the 390 residences contemplated under earlier plans. The residential component would comprise studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom apartments, with one-bedroom layouts accounting for the largest share of the inventory. Residences would average approximately 917 square feet, with private balcony access incorporated throughout the tower. The development would include several floors of residential amenities, including coworking spaces, a children's playroom, fitness facilities, a clubroom and lounge, outdoor gathering areas, and a poolside grilling area. Additional recreational space is planned for the 43rd floor, where a rooftop swimming pool and deck would overlook the surrounding Edgewater neighborhood and Biscayne Bay. Approximately 14,803 square feet of commercial space would occupy the first and second floors, incorporating the adaptive reuse of portions of the historic church interior. The development would also provide 480 parking spaces within a multilevel podium. Architectural elevations prepared by Arquitectonica depict a contemporary tower rising 464 feet above ground level. The exterior features floor-to-ceiling glazing, continuous glass balcony railings, and stucco surfaces finished in shades of white, gray, and black. The tower's massing incorporates projecting balcony slabs and vertically arranged facade elements, while the podium is characterized by metal screening and stucco cladding. The latest revisions primarily address the relationship between the proposed tower and the historic church. Under the modified plans, the new construction would be set back nearly 70 feet from Biscayne Boulevard, increasing the visibility of the church's southern facade. Under the 2022 approvals, the proposed tower would have largely obstructed views of this portion of the historic structure. The ground-floor configuration has also been revised to introduce a pedestrian plaza along Biscayne Boulevard. Building infrastructure, service areas, and back-of-house functions would be relocated toward the interior of the development, allowing for a more open pedestrian frontage. Changes to the proposed demolition scope would preserve additional portions of the historic structure. Demolition would be limited primarily to the existing roof structure and rear facade along NE 2nd Court. The eastern facade along Biscayne Boulevard and northern facade facing NE 19th Street would remain intact, along with a substantial portion of the southern facade previously approved for removal.

Abu Dhabi's Lulu Island primed for revamp as development plan confirmed. Real estate developer Eagle Hills Properties to oversee project years in the making. August 25, 2026 An Abu Dhabi island left largely untouched for decades is primed for transformation in the latest step forward in the capital's long-term expansion drive. Eagle Hills Properties, one of Abu Dhabi's leading real estate companies, has confirmed it is overseeing a development project on the man-made Lulu Island. The island, which is about 500 metres from Abu Dhabi's Corniche, was built in the 1990s to serve as a breakwater against high tides and is only accessible by boat. With large beaches, clear waters and panoramic views of the city, it has long been earmarked as a site with huge potential for major residential and development projects. Previous masterplans over the years have failed to get off the ground, but the prospect of the sprawling island welcoming its first residents in the years to come is becoming a reality. "We can confirm that the development will be undertaken by Eagle Hills Properties," the developer told The National, without disclosing specific details of its plans for the island. "Further information regarding the project, including any additional details, will be communicated in due course through our official channels and those of our partners," they added. Boats from Blue Shark Boat Rental have been ferrying workers to the island, where many cranes and excavators are already in use. A handful of show homes have popped up in recent weeks facing the city. The real estate developer is headed by Mohamed Alabbar, the Emirati real estate giant behind Emaar and projects such as Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall. Eagle Hills has projects in more than 20 countries and is the developer behind the masterplanned Ramhan Island, a luxury waterfront community in Abu Dhabi. A history of Lulu Island. Named Al Lulu, or pearl in Arabic after the pearls for which Abu Dhabi was famed, the 400 hectare island was created from reclaimed sand. Work on the project started in 1986 and was completed in 1992. Contracts to develop the island were awarded as far back as 2002, when Al Geemi Contracting won a Dh25 million development contract. In 2007, the island opened to the public with a few facilities, including two restaurants, four coffee shops, a track for camel and horse riding, two artificial lakes and a passenger ferry service connecting it to the city. In the same year, Sorouh Real Estate appointed Miami's Arquitectonica to conceive the masterplan for the island. The 2008 financial crisis halted progress, and Sorouh merged with Aldar Properties in 2013. In January 2009, the ferry service halted, and the island was made less accessible to the public. In 2023, the island was opened to visitors daily during Public Art Abu Dhabi. Buses brought visitors around the abandoned land, and art installations breathed life into the island's sand and shrubs. What could the future hold? The Plan Abu Dhabi 2030 framework, part of the government's broader Vision 2030, provides some insight into possible development of the island. Figures show the island's projected population is an estimated 20,000 people. Beaches and green spaces could be abundant. Recent aerial photos show a canal being formed through the middle of the island. "Al Lulu Island is identified as perhaps the most important element of the Capital City Framework. Situated at the head of Abu Dhabi Island, every trip to the downtown ends with a view of it. It has immense symbolic importance and is proposed as a primary site for unfolding the story of Abu Dhabi's history, achievements, personality and culture," reads the document. Prime location. Lasse Frederik Pedersen, a senior investment adviser at Dubai's Equiti Real Estates, believes ambitious plans could swiftly take shape. "What we're aware about is that they want low-rise buildings and hopefully, in the next 12 months, we should be allowed to have information about apartments, villas and mansions coming to the islands for maximum three or four-floor low-rise buildings," he said. Bridges are expected to connect Lulu Island to Abu Dhabi Island, making the location prime real estate and providing a connection to the Mina Zayed development. "Lulu Island's convenience is its location," added Eyal Ashur, a UAE property sales consultant and founder of Nooma Properties. "The fact that you have three [potential] connections; you can have a connection to Marina Mall, you can have multiple entries to the Corniche and also to Mina Zayed." Property boom. In recent years, Abu Dhabi has witnessed numerous off-plan launches including developments on Ramhan Island, projects in Saadiyat Island and even private villas on the grounds of the Emirates Palace. Experts say that even during the war and the rent freeze currently in place, demand remains. "During the conflict, so many hedge funds and family offices have been set up," Mr Pedersen said. "So the fundamentals are absolutely prime for Abu Dhabi." Mr Pedersen cited examples from recent months when sales in Hudayriyat Golf Estates broke sales records, even during the war. "Modon managed back in June this year to sell more than 1,800 units in six days as a sales record in the UAE. People really believe in Abu Dhabi," he said. He said investment in buying property in the capital has grown since freehold ownership by foreigners was permitted in 2019. Mr Ashur agreed that there is plenty of space on the market, and it has not become oversaturated. "There is a huge shortage of ultra-luxury residential buildings in Abu Dhabi," he said. "Abu Dhabi is changing and attracting high net-worth individuals looking for big houses of high quality. They want to be next to a golf course, next to water, and they want to have their own private space." Mr Pedersen believes that Lulu Island will be "next level" when completed and highlighted Abu Dhabi's growing appeal for investors. "I think Abu Dhabi wanted to build slowly, quietly, and respect nature. It is what attracts all the high-end people coming. They want quietness, they want wellness and nature," he said.

June 11, 2026 by Anthony Teles Topped off No. 31 Condos nears exterior completion in the Distillery District. Five months after UrbanToronto's previous update, construction continues on No. 31 Condos at the west edge of Toronto's Distillery District. Rising at 31 Parliament Street, the 46-storey condominium tower designed by Arquitectonica, with Arcadis as Architect of Record, is being developed by Lanterra Developments and Westdale Properties. Since its January, 2026 look at the project, work at No. 31 has shifted increasingly toward exterior enclosure while the neighbouring 32-storey Goode Condos has reached completion. Looking across Parliament Street in May, 2026, No. 31 Condos is topped off at its full 46-storey height, its stepped massing clearly expressed along the west elevation as the tower recedes toward the upper floors. Brick-pattern precast cladding now wraps much of the west and south faces, while extensive window wall glazing and dark spandrel panels enclose the lower and mid-rise levels. At grade, exposed cast-in-place concrete walls and structural columns remain visible behind construction fencing, with sections of blue weatherproofing applied around column bases and several window openings still temporarily boarded with plywood. The tower's prominent south-side crash wall remains exposed above the street and next to the Union Station Rail Corridor. Looking northeast from Parliament Street to No. 31 Condos, image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor zuzivalente In a distant view from Lake Shore Boulevard at Cherry Street, the tower's slim profile is featured in its narrow east elevation. Precast cladding has advanced nearly to the top of the building, stopping just below the mechanical penthouse, while the crane remains in place above the roofline. A distant view looking west to the east elevation and crane, image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor zuzivalente Looking north to the south elevation this month, No. 31 Condos appears largely enclosed, with brick-pattern precast cladding now extending continuously to the top of the tower, where Urban Toronto see sections of bare concrete at the mechanical penthouse. The building's stacked massing is emphasized by a series of prominent step-backs, where fully glazed levels create horizontal breaks within the precast-clad facade. Black glass balcony guards have been installed to approximately the 17th floor, while the residential levels above continue to show exposed concrete balcony slabs and soffits awaiting railing installation. Looking north to ongoing balcony and facade work, image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor zuzivalente Looking southwest from the base of the tower, a close-up view highlights the precast cladding. Along the east elevation in the foreground, window wall installation continues behind the precast frame, with mullions, glazing panels, and louvred sections at varying stages of completion. Several openings remain unfinished, exposing insulation and temporary backing panels where glazing has yet to be installed. Above, on the east face, precast installation has progressed to within several storeys of the mechanical penthouse. A close-up view looking southwest to facade and glazing installation, image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor xmyth_2 No. 31 Condos stands 153.63m and will house 467 condominium units. Looking northeast to the previous design for No. 31 Condos, designed by Arquitectonica for Lanterra Developments and Westdale Properties, with Arcadis Architect of Record UrbanToronto will continue to follow progress on this development, but in the meantime, you can learn more about it from its Database file, linked below.

NoMad Residences Wynwood officially opens in Miami's arts district. By Iuliia Tore / May 7, 2026 / 2 minutes of reading NoMad Residences Wynwood, the first residential project from the globally recognized NoMad Hotels brand, has officially been completed in Miami's Wynwood district. Developed by Related Group and Tricap alongside Sydell Group, the nine-story property at 2700 NW 2nd Avenue is now welcoming residents, with more than 90% of the 329 residences already sold or accounted for. NoMad Brand Expands Into Residential Living The project marks the first residential expression of the NoMad Hotels brand, which originally gained international recognition in New York City. Developers said the concept was designed to translate NoMad's hospitality-focused identity into a permanent residential environment blending luxury, culture and lifestyle experiences. Located steps from Wynwood Walls, the development sits in the center of Miami's rapidly evolving arts and entertainment district. The project was designed through a collaboration between Arquitectonica, DesignAgency and Sydell Group. Fully Furnished Residences Feature Flexible Ownership The residences range from studios to two-bedroom homes spanning between 464 and 931 square feet. All units are delivered fully furnished with curated turnkey interiors combining industrial-inspired design, vintage influences and contemporary finishes. Developers said interiors incorporate stone, wood and brass materials alongside floor-to-ceiling glass doors opening onto private balconies. Kitchens feature Bosch appliances, Italian-designed cabinetry and stone countertops, while bathrooms are styled with a luxury hotel-inspired aesthetic. The project also offers flexible ownership options with no rental restrictions, supported by in-house property management services. Luxury Amenities Inspired By Boutique Hospitality NoMad Residences Wynwood includes a rooftop pool deck with panoramic views across Miami, private cabanas, fitness facilities, cold plunge areas, summer kitchens and resident lounges. Additional amenities include the NoMad Library and Lounge, featuring coworking areas, private dining rooms and social spaces. On the ground floor, Casa Tua Cucina is scheduled to open with its signature food hall and open-kitchen concept, bringing one of Miami's best-known dining brands into Wynwood. A rooftop restaurant and bar is also planned for the property. Art And Design Central To Building Identity In keeping with Wynwood's reputation as Miami's leading arts district, the building incorporates museum-quality artwork throughout both public and private spaces. The property includes works from the Jorge M. Pérez Collection as well as commissioned installations inspired by Wynwood's mural culture. British artist Alex Chinneck created a large-scale sculptural façade installation featuring oversized knot-like tubular forms appearing to emerge from the building exterior. Meanwhile, artist Dean Barger designed a large mural featuring palm leaves, ocean imagery and tropical motifs reflecting Miami's coastal identity. Developers said the project helped establish new pricing benchmarks for Wynwood residential real estate as demand accelerated throughout construction.
Why Miami's Most Powerful Neighborhood Is Just Getting Started. By Adrienne Faurote, Fashion & Jewelry Director / Editor-in-Chief of Haute Time Brickell has long been known as Miami's financial district - a neighborhood of gleaming office towers, global headquarters, and one of the most concentrated corridors of corporate power in the Southeast. But in 2026, the neighborhood is redefining itself well beyond its professional identity, drawing world-class restaurants, landmark residential development, and a new permanent resident base that is reshaping the area from the ground up. Today, Brickell is one of the fastest-evolving urban neighborhoods in the United States, drawing global investment, world-class restaurants, and a new permanent resident base that is reshaping the area from the ground up. Photo Credit: Courtesy of Seia The Real Estate Boom Brickell is in the middle of a significant residential construction cycle, with several ultra-luxury condominium towers either under construction or recently completed along its main corridors. Cipriani Residences Miami at 1420 S Miami Ave is among the most closely watched. The 80-story tower - designed by Arquitectonica and developed in partnership with the Cipriani brand - will deliver 405 luxury residences with water and city views upon completion. The Residences at 1428 Brickell, notable for its solar-powered façade and panoramic views of Biscayne Bay, has attracted significant buyer interest from international investors and domestic relocators alike. UNA Residences at 175 SE 25th Rd rounds out a trio of high-profile waterfront developments that collectively signal the scale of Brickell's residential ambitions. The buyer profile driving this market has shifted considerably. Finance executives, technology founders, and international investors are choosing Brickell as a primary residence rather than a secondary one - a distinction that has real implications for the neighborhood's long-term development. The arrival of major firms, including Citadel and Microsoft, to the Miami area has further accelerated this trend, drawing a professional class that is investing in the neighborhood at every level. The Dining Scene Brickell's restaurant landscape has expanded significantly over the last two years, and the caliber of new openings reflects the neighborhood's growing affluence and global character. Amazónico at 800 Brickell Ave - the Miami outpost of the celebrated international restaurant brand with locations in Madrid, London, and Dubai - has become one of the neighborhood's most in-demand reservations since opening. The South American-inspired menu, live music program, and dramatic jungle-themed interiors have made it a consistent draw for both residents and visitors. Claudie at 1101 Brickell Ave, a French-Mediterranean restaurant with a late-night DJ program, has similarly established itself as a neighborhood fixture, particularly on weekends. For those seeking something more under the radar, Panamericano Bar at 900 S Miami Ave operates as a speakeasy-style cocktail destination built around themed drink ceremonies - one of the more original concepts to arrive in the neighborhood in recent memory. Seia, the newest addition to the Brickell dining corridor, opened in March 2026 and is already drawing attention from the local food community. Brickell's transformation is the result of several converging factors: a favorable tax environment that has drawn businesses and high-net-worth individuals from the Northeast, a residential development pipeline that has brought genuine luxury inventory to the market, and a dining and hospitality scene that has matured to match the neighborhood's ambitions. The energy on Brickell Avenue on any given evening in 2026 is markedly different from what it was five years ago - and the development pipeline suggests it is only going to intensify from here. * News Why Miami's Most Powerful Neighborhood Is Just Getting Started * Haute Shopping Silvia Tcherassi Launches the Sofia Tennis Bag Just in Time for the Miami Open 2026 * Art Wynn Las Vegas Unveils Museum-Caliber Art Collaboration at Zero Bond * News Natalie Portman Joins Tiffany & Co. as Global House Ambassador * Haute Scene Hollywood's Biggest Nights: Inside the Most Exclusive Parties of Oscar Weekend 2026 Natalie Portman becomes Tiffany & Co.'s newest global House ambassador, starring in a campaign photographed at The Landmark on Fifth Avenue.
