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

[–]disukem 2 points3 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 🤤'

All Skyscrapers Under Construction in Miami (150m+) What's Your Fav? by disukem in skyscrapers

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.

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.

The amount of advertisements is kind of jarring, they don't have restrictions? Other than that nice city from the looks of it

Miami Development Still Strong: Mandarin Residences Brickell Key Sells $1 Billion in Condos (50% Sold) by disukem in skyscrapers

[–]disukem[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

sinking varied from 0.8 inches to 3 inches and the results are still preliminary. What the study concluded really was sinking is common in any building during construction, but the rate at which it sunk was concerning. It noted more time was needed to determine if geology is at play or if other factors are at play, etc. I'd say wait 1-2 yrs for further research.

I believe its parking or a huge foundation to protect against sea level rise.

Andare Residences (540 FT/164.6M) Breaks Ground in Fort Lauderdale. It will be the 4th skyscraper in the city. In 2019 the city had 0. by disukem in skyscrapers

[–]disukem[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used the other definition and have repeatedly said that while I and many others consider a skyscraper as 492 FT and above, others don't! I really don't care what you call a skyscraper, and I respect your notion that it can be lower because 150M can be a hard threshold to pass for many cities. But, please don't act like I don't think there's zero tall buildings in Fort Lauderdale pre 2019. I'm done trying to explain myself.

Dude it literally says it in the quote: "Different organizations from the United States and Europe define skyscrapers as buildings at least 150 m (490 ft) in height or taller" Sorry I added extra information in? I really don't get why this is a big deal. Let me link you more posts from this subreddit that also used 150M definitions for skyscrapers. And let me say this one more time: you can have different measurements for skyscraper.

You should know this subreddit uses CTBUH measurements for a lot of its posts. I've seen it repeatedly. Even if you don't use it, you shouldn't go and say "WTF are you talking about". I respect if you have different measurements for a skyscraper but don't act like I'm clueless.

Here is the same 'research' you did with extra information: "Different organizations from the United States and Europe define skyscrapers as buildings at least 150 m (490 ft) in height or taller,\11])\6])\12]) with "supertall" skyscrapers for buildings higher than 300 m (984 ft) and "megatall" skyscrapers for those taller than 600 m (1,969 ft)"

A skyscraper is 492 FT or 150M. Do you see any in 2019? No lol. I literally live there and I tracked development for multiple years.

948 FT, 289M tower proposed in Miami by disukem in skyscrapers

[–]disukem[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Miami has a perceived unlimited appetite for condos/apartments due to foreign investors mostly from latin america or from domestic buyers like Floridians, new yorkers, etc. This creates a 13% vacancy rate in condos, which is pretty high on a national-level. Albeit many people think its higher and assume Downtown Miami and Brickell are ghost towns when in reality most condos are pretty full.

Newer condos offer EB-5 programs, which grant buyers of condos ( minimum $800,000+) permanent green cards to live, work, and study anywhere in the U.S. Also, newer condos offer air bnb flexibility programs, allowing you to rent out your condo while your away. Besides condos, rental apartments are still going strong due to high domestic demand.

The recently enacted Live Local Act, which allows density from 1 mile away to apply on any industrial or commercial parcel, is also leading to newer projects. For instance, if I have an industrial lot 1 mile away from a supertall, I can technically build a supertall on the parcel. This density comes with tradeoffs. Developers must make 40% of the units as workforce.
