Miami-based La Chanson Overseas has plans to build a 600-foot tower – the maximum zoning height – at the Miami development site it recently purchased for $22 million, exMiami reported.

The developer picked up an eight-property portfolio between Southwest 7th and 8th streets and Southwest Third and Fourth avenues, according to Miami-Dade County records. The site includes an eight-unit apartment building, small warehouse and six vacant lots totaling 1.4 acres. The transaction closed on Nov. 14 and was recorded by the county last Friday.
