Below is the vision that Russell Galbut & Crescent Heights is envisioning for their project at 500-600-700 Alton Road. It is unusual for anyone to assemble this amount of commmercially viable property in any city, let alone Miami Beach (South Beach). There is an approved project that follows all of the existing zoning that takes up all three blocks with a dense ensemble of rental units. That project has been approved as of a few years back, but the Developer (Russell Galbut) is proposing an alternative:

Crescent Heights has decided to take a more visionary approach: the idea is as follows: WITHOUT adding any additional FAR, he would build instead a slim tower on the 500 Block that was designed to not block ANY views from the ICON South Beach condo building, the BENTLEY BAY or the FLORIDIAN, and transform the current site of former 7-Eleven building, parking lot & the South Shore Hospital shell (which is an eyesore) is the current gateway to South Beach via 5th Street. By concentrating the FAR in only one block, Crescent Heights is proposing to GIVE BACK to the community the entire 600 and 700 Blocks & turn them into a park.

The Developer is planning to use a landscaping design & technology that Landscape Architect Justine Velez worked on years ago (along with another firm), and hasbeen used successfully in Mill Creek Park in Mill Race Park in Columbus, Indiana. (see below) Just as in Miami Beach, Mill Race Park is located at the confluence of water elements, and much of the parkland is an active floodplain. Foremost among the constraints of the Mill Race site was the issue of annual flooding. Rather than attempt to prevent or shut out the regular flood waters, the design explores numerous ways to integrate this natural annual rhythm into the use and experience of the site.

Miami_Beach_beforeMill_Creek_After

The overall affordability and durability of the site materials reflect an intentional efficiency of materials in both the construction and the maintenance of the park. The fill generated in the excavation of Round Lake was used to build an earthen amphitheater as well as the berms around the basketball court. Many of the paved surfaces use reinforced concrete instead of asphalt, which can be peeled up by floods. The steel and glass block restroom walls are raised to allow flood waters to flow through; the playground is elevated on a wide earth platform; the amphitheater stage is nestled into the protected higher ground of the crescent landform.

Plantings include mostly hardy native species, including grasses that can weather drought and trees that can withstand saturated soils. Crescent Heights has informed that the SW corner of Miami Beach is the lowest point of the island, and often times floods when we experience heavy rainstorms. The pumps that have been installed are only a partial stop-gap (and have so far caused significant sewage drain into Biscayne Bay). Crescent Heights is proposing to design a park where ALL of the water would flow to, and without relying on artificial means, where water would gradually and naturally be absorbed into the aquifer after it has been recycled and cleaned.

Miami_Beach_500_Alton_Current

The recent impact of Hurricane Irma, along with the reality of global warming and water rise cannot be denied. I personally believe this to be an innovative and creative approach to addressing the issue of flooding and rising sea levels at the prominent entrance to Miami Beach. I'm sure there will be pockets of resistance to the proposed height of the tower. However, given the potential benefits to the city & community of having a large public space (in a prime location) it's a debate/ discussion well worth having.

In my opinion, the potential enhancement in value to the surrounding neighborhood / condo buildings justifies a building height compromise. This is potentially the "heighest and best use" of the 500 - 700 Blocks along Alton Road.

Downtown Miami

Downtown Miami has been experiencing a rebirth in recent years. Many new luxury condo high-rises now dot the cityscape, bringing with them new residents and new life to the area. If shopping is your thing, be sure to stop at the Bayside Marketplace where you’ll find boutique shops and retail chains. Or stop and dine and one of the many new restaurants and eateries that have popped up in Downtown, representing some of the best cuisine in the area.

Getting There

Don’t miss out on all the exciting scenery by taking Interstate 95. Instead, take the scenic route down A1A along the coast and enjoy the fabulous ocean views. This route will take you directly into Miami Beach where you will arrive on Collins Avenue, in the heart of it all.

When traveling from South Beach to Downtown Miami, make sure to head over on the MacArthur Causeway. This busy road spans the Biscayne Bay and gives commuters unparalleled views of Star Island to the north with its spectacular mansions, where celebrities such as Gloria Estefan, Shaquille O’Neal, Rosie O’Donnell and Lenny Kravitz reside. South of the causeway is Cruise Ship Alley which just might get you in the mood to head out on a water excursion of your own.

Miami is unlike any other city in the nation. Not only is it an important business center, but it is an epicenter of cultural activity for the Latin community. It is quickly becoming home to more and more Europeans who are choosing to make Miami their home away from home.

Miami Beach South of Fifth Condos

Late Spring and Summer Events in Miami & Miami Beach

As the summer months and "low season" is upon us, there's much to do in Miami and Miami Beach. Even as the slower-paced time of year is here, there's so much to do and see in and around Miami Beach for year-round residents and homeowners.

Dining & Nightlife

Cozy Bar is a must for the nearby condo residents. This is where the owners and residents of The Continuum on South Beach, The Portofino Tower, Apogee, The Murano at Portofino, and the other local South of Fifth residents gather to hear live music, Wednesday - Sunday, beginning around 9:30pm. You can go to www.thecozybar.com to see their line up or stop by my desk for the calendar.

Joe's Stone Crab has officially begun it's summer hours: From now until July 31, 2011, they will be closed for lunch. Dinner hours are as follows: Wednesday, Thursday & Sunday: 6pm -10pm, Friday & Saturday: 6pm - 11pm, Closed: Mondays & Tuesdays. A Miami Beach South of Fifth Neighborhood classic is now available year-round!

Pied a Terre (1701 James Ave., 2nd floor of the Cadet Hotel) gets mentioned in the Miami Herald. Seems like it's a hidden jewel worth sampling: http://www.miamiherald.com/2011/05/05/2200667/pied-a-terre-a-south-beach-hideaway.html

Thali Indian & Thai (754 Washington Avenue) gets a nice write up by Lee Klein in the Miami New Times: http://www.miaminewtimes.com/2011-05-12/restaurants/thali-indian-and-thai-fresh-and-affordable-in-south-beach/

Lou Lou Le Petit Bistro comes to Brickell. See what the Miami Herald has to say: http://www.miamiherald.com/2011/05/12/2211841/lou-lou-le-petit-bistro-adds-french.html

Haven has just opened at 1237 Lincoln Road (next to Alta Mare). A "gastro-lounge" focusing on small bites with many local and organic offerings, Haven infuses a bit of nightlife into your dining experience. http://havenlounge.com/

The Brooklyn Water Bagel Company just opened on 1115 5th Street (ground floor at The newly completed Fifth and Alton Shopping Center). Owned and conceived by CNN's Larry King, the best Bagels from New York City and the water is supposedly brought in from New Jersey!http://www.brooklynwaterbagels.com/index.php

The Continuum on South Beach South Tower condo building was completed in 2001. This is THE premier location Condominium Building in all of Miami Beach, especially in the much coveted and fashionable South of Fifth Neighborhood. What many of today's potential buyers may not know is that the Developer of The Continuum, Mr. Bruce Eichner, had a few construction issues related to some of the finish work that was performed by various sub-contractors at the time of original construction i 2001.None of these were considered structural or major, but have been a minor nuisance to condo owners and residents over the past few years. The most serious problems have dealt with water leaks (long since resolved) and some of the sliding glass doors not opening and closing correctly.

After a long and protracted process between The Continuum South Tower Board of Directors and The Developer, the Continuum South Tower Condo Association has finally resolved all remaining original construction issues. Also, as part of this resolution, the South Tower Condominium Association has now undertaken a much needed facelift to the Continuum South lobby and common areas. The new Continuum South Tower lobby will be one of the most beautiful and luxurious contemporary condo buildings in all of South Beach.

Below are a few pictures and renderings of this spectacular and well designed renovation, which is being overseen by Pepe Calderin Design. This is an architecture and interior design firm with over 20 years of experience, and is known as one of the best design firms for Miami Beach Real Estate. All of these renovations and improvements will keep the Continuum South Tower as the premier condo building in Miami Beach's ultra luxury condo market.
