Miami's Missoni Baia has topped out at 649-feet ab Miami's Missoni Baia has topped out at 649-feet above sea level in Edgewater, Miami. The 57-story luxury residential skyscraper is designed by Hani Rashid of Asymptote Architecture for OKO Group with Cain International as an investment partner. The property is addressed as 777 Northeast 26th Terrace and has 200-feet of frontage along Biscayne Bay and will consist of 249 residences with Paris Forino handling interiors. Recent photographs by @skyalign show the state of construction at the development. The concrete core walls have reached their final elevation, which is just slightly above the roof line and final residential level. All that is left to build atop the structure is the parapet and concrete eyebrow on all elevations, hence the rebar protruding from the corners. Curtain wall installation is approaching the last few levels as well, with about 8 stories or so to enclose. The southern elevation has the most work left to be done as far as glass installation goes, where only half of the upper section of the structure has been enclosed. Upon completion, Missoni Baia will stand as one of the tallest skyscrapers in Edgewater, meeting the current maximum permitted height in the area of 649-feet. The 249 residences will be priced from $600,000 – $9,000,000, ranging from 1-bedroom through 5-bedroom layouts. The units will be sized from 776-square feet to as expansive as 3,778 square feet. Construction is expected to wrap up by the end of the year. See our Florida YIMBY article for additional photographs.
Construction is complete on 40 Bleecker Street, a Construction is complete on 40 Bleecker Street, a 12-story residential building at the corner of Mulberry and Bleecker Streets in NoHo. Designed by Rawlings Architects and developed by Broad Street Development, the property yields 61 one- to five-bedroom units with interiors designed by Ryan Korban. Sales and marketing are being led by Fredrik Eklund of Million Dollar Listing: New York fame, as well as John Gomes and Sarah Burke of Douglas Elliman Development Marketing. Edmund Hollander Design is carrying out the landscaping for the private outdoor terraces and the 5,600-square-foot rear courtyard. ​The building has a warm-colored brick façade with a tight grid of floor-to-ceiling windows, dark rectangular frames and spandrels, and a series of elegant curved corners on the northern edge of the building. This finish continues upward along the stepped setbacks that make way for private outdoor terraces lined with glass railings that will provide occupants with views over the surrounding NoHo district, as well as the Lower Manhattan and Midtown skylines. Shrubbery and large trees already populate sections of the terraces. The main entrance to 40 Bleecker Street is located on the northern side of the structure facing Bleecker Street and is protected under a dark canopy, and decorative ornamental metal screens surround the front doors. Overall, 40 Bleecker Street visually respects the low-rise nature of the vicinity and contextually blends with the older brick-clad buildings surrounding it. Photographs by @mchalnglo793
Last week, Chicago YIMBY had the opportunity to to Last week, Chicago YIMBY had the opportunity to tour JDL Development‘s two-tower megadevelopment known as One Chicago, designed by Hartshorne Plunkard Architecture and Goettsch Partners. At 2.1 million square feet, the mixed-use project will yield a combination of 55,000 square feet of office space, 812 residential units, restaurant and banquet space, and a new 65,000-square-foot Whole Foods at its base. The western tower reaches a height of 49 stories and 574 feet, while the taller eastern tower stands 76 stories and 971 feet, making it Chicago’s eighth tallest building. Both towers are situated above a 10-story podium, occupying nearly the entire block. There will be 735 rental units and an additional 77 condominiums. Rental units will be subdivided into three distinct offerings, known as One Chicago Apartments, 23 West Apartments, and 23 West Lofts. These apartment types tailor to different interior tastes and price points. The 23 West Lofts are housed within the podium, 23 West Apartments is entirely within the shorter tower, and One Chicago Apartments occupying the lower half of the taller east tower. The 77 condominium units are all housed within the east tower, beginning on the 44th floor. Homes begin at 1,271 square feet for a one-bedroom and scale up to 10,412 square feet for a five-bedroom penthouse duplex. Prices begin at $1.75 million and max out at $28 million. Power Construction is the general contractor. Pre-leasings are currently underway, with first-move ins expected for this coming October.

Curtain wall installation is getting closer to com Curtain wall installation is getting closer to completion on 181 Mercer Street, NYU‘s new 750,000-square-foot building in Greenwich Village. Designed by Davis Brody Bond and KieranTimberlake, the development consists of three towers rising from a full-block podium between Houston, Mercer, and Bleecker Streets and I.M. Pei’s University Village complex. Photographs by @mchlanglo793 show the reflective glass façade panels having made significant progress and now envelop almost the entirety of the structure. Only the final few floors of the northernmost volume have yet to be enclosed. The tallest tower on the southern corner appears to be the furthest ahead, while the shorter central and northern towers are not too far behind. The podium and shorter towers feature an intricate envelope with various angles implemented in the design and layout of the curtain wall. The color of the façade also appears to shift subtly depending on one’s viewpoint and the time of day. 181 Mercer Street is planned to provide new dormitories for students and housing for faculty, additional office space and dining areas, and outdoor landscaped rooftop terraces atop the podium. Indoor athletic facilities include a six-lane swimming pool, a running track, four basketball courts, squash courts, a wrestling room, and multiple fitness rooms. There will also be space for additional classrooms, studios, multiple theater rooms, practice and rehearsal rooms, a cafe, and a theater complete with balcony and mezzanine seating designed to accommodate up to 556 people. 181 Mercer Street is slated for completion this winter.

Looking north from the East River at the crown and Looking north from the East River at the crown and architectural spire of Kohn Pedersen Fox's 1,401-foot tall One Vanderbilt. Developed by SL Green Realty, the supertall office is located in Midtown East to the immediate west of Grand Central Terminal and is soon going to have its three-story indoor-outdoor observatory, called "The Summit," open later in October.
