With construction underway on its first North Miami Beach apartment tower, The Estate Companies wants to dive into another multifamily project in the city.
Estate proposes a 28-story building with 363 units at 16375 Biscayne Boulevard, on a lot immediately south of the Soleste NoMi project that it is developing.
Its latest proposed tower, called Soleste on the Bay, would have over 14,000 square feet of ground-floor retail and restaurant space and 645 parking spaces, according to the developer’s application to the city. Form Group is the architect.
Estate’s Soleste NoMi, a 23-story building that will have 367 units when completed, is rising on a waterfront site that’s almost 2 acres at 16395 Biscayne Boulevard. Estate paid $13.1 million for that development site in December 2020. A year later, it paid $21.3 million for the Soleste on the Bay site, which also spans 2 acres.
The entire 4-acre property was once planned for a three-tower project that would have spanned over 1.5 million square feet, city records show. In 2015, another developer obtained approval for a 32-story Riverwalk North residential building on the site where Soleste NoMi is under construction. Estate got city approval to tweak these development entitlements in 2020.
For the firm to build Soleste on the Bay, it needs the city to tweak the seven-year-old site plan that had allowed for a Riverwalk South project with an 18-story hotel and a 30-story residential tower, the city records show.
If the city approves Soleste on the Bay, construction is expected to start in the fourth quarter. Completion is anticipated for the fourth quarter of 2024, according to an Estate spokesperson.
Estate, a prolific multifamily developer, for years focused on Miami-Dade County, including in West Miami, Palmetto Bay, and Miami’s Overtown.
