Milestones
42 Pine tops out in Miami Beach
JP Roosevelt has topped out at 42 Pine, the eight-story boutique condo going up in between Sheridan and Pine Tree Drives in Miami Beach’s Nautilus neighborhood. Sales launched in May 2022 and the building, designed by Arquitectonica, is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2024.
“This is a unique opportunity in a highly coveted pocket of Miami Beach,” says Allan Lebovits, CEO of BridgeCity Capital, which infused the project with $35.5 million to begin construction last year. “The sales velocity to date is a testament to the strong demand for new luxury residences.”
Arquitectonica principal Bernardo Fort-Brescia says the inspiration for 42 Pine came from the idea of a hill town. “The expression is one of individual villa clusters to create a vertical neighborhood,” Fort-Brescia said in a statement. The use of contrasting materials, he added, reinforces this concept of a “cubic village.”
When it’s complete, 42 Pine will offer 50 turnkey residences, ranging from one to four bedrooms, all outfitted with French white oak hardwood flooring and kitchens with marble countertops, Italian cabinetry, and Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances. Amenities will include a 52-foot pool, a yoga and meditation lawn, and lush landscaping by ULU Studio.
Zaha Hadid Architects–designed condo planned for site of Surfside collapse
DAMAC International has submitted an application for a luxury condo building at 8777 Collins Avenue in Surfside, Florida, the site of a tragic building collapse that killed 98 people in 2021. The Dubai-based developer purchased the 1.8-acre oceanfront property a year later for a reported $120 million. Now it’s filed two iterations of a 12-story design from Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA), based on differing interpretations of local planning ordinances.
Both blueprints have what a release describes as “a sculptural form modulated with nested crescents.” “These soft, cloudlike elements stretch, pull, and contract—emulating the ebb and flow of the ocean to animate the façade,” it adds. One layout slopes in on the south façade, while the other has a consistent elevation on all sides. ZHA director Chris Lepine said in a statement that the project was both an honor and “a great responsibility,” elaborating that “while no work of architecture can ever remove the pain of the past, nor should it, a truly ambitious work of architecture can respect such a significant site.”
The unnamed development replacing Champlain Towers South would include 57 condominiums, ranging from 4,000 to 15,000 square feet, as well as a 75-foot indoor pool and a 100-foot rooftop pool that bridges the atrium between the north and south wings of the building. If the DAMAC International proposal is accepted, it will be the second Miami building for ZHA, the firm founded by the late architect in 1979. The first was One Thousand Museum, a 62-story ultra-luxury highrise and Hadid’s first tower in the western hemisphere, completed in 2019.
