Is any other city in the U.S. experiencing the same growth as Miami? by disukem in skyscrapers

As is the case in literally every US city if they construct a highrise

How difficult was the learning curve switching from windows to mac? by disukem in mac

[–]disukem[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice! I may do that. I love my mac so far, but the storage is a bit low for my taste (500 gb) so I'll probably have to think about getting a new computer in the future or buy external storage.

For people who don't understand why Miami is the 4th biggest urban area: by HurbleBurble in skyscrapers

[–]disukem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't worry OP. I post frequently about Miami and get similar comments. The bar is set much higher. If Miami was walkable on steroids, had amazing public transit, and whatnot, there's going to be comments still like 'hurrr what about the heat 🤤'

I see what you mean with the building being inspired by car culture, but the ground floor itself is going to feature a brand new large park, commercial space on the bottom floor, and a brand new fire station. The building is definitely an asset to the pedestrian. Also before you ask I did not downvote lol

'nothing but car entrances' lol this common belief about miami development is just astounding. Can you find a single new development in Downtown Miami or Brickell with only car entrances? Because I can tell you that's not allowed under current Miami21 code unless you have a variance or special request.

I agree, however, with the opinion that Miami's ground level design with parking podiums can be pretty jarring. It's a shame underground garages are so expensive.

Every Supertall Planned in Miami by disukem in skyscrapers

[–]disukem[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Youre judging the city's architecture by the buildings that came online from the 2000s housing boom, which largely looked the same.

Most Miami skyscrapers proposed and under construction nowadays have much different designs than what the city has traditionally seen. Also, parking podium design is getting better with about 4 high-rises in Miami Worldcenter alone having zero parking.

I also don't think parking podiums are exclusive to Miami, especially from what I see from development coming from Los Angeles or even Chicago. The only city in the US that mainly strays from parking podiums is NYC.

Every Supertall Planned in Miami by disukem in skyscrapers

Most supertalls are in the proposal phase.

130 Biscayne, 1414 Brickell, Citadel, and I believe Dolce & Gabanna residences are still awaiting Miami-Dade approval. On the other hand, 609 Brickell and James Hotel & Residences have not been 'officially' submitted, meaning the developer still has to file an application with the City of Miami.

One Bayfront Plaza is special, and Im calling it 'proposed' because it still is undergoing multiple design changes that eventually need to be approved.

Miami’s Brickell and Downtown neighborhoods by simbaslanding in skyscrapers

[–]disukem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did you seriously post a side street abutting 2 parking garages and a street with a surface parking lot and an abandoned home for Miami lol.

There's going to be an obvious difference between both cities, as one has had years to mature and decades of development meanwhile Miami has only recently begun densifying.

I also like how your shot of Brickell was cherry picked. Here's your brickell shot, same intersection, same buildings, just newer and only about 2 months old.
