Florida East Coast Realty On Track To Begin Construction On KPF-Designed Supertall One Bayfront Plaza In Early 2019

Miami is set to get its first supertall in the fast emerging Downtown neighborhood, as Tibor Hollo's Florida East Coast Realty is gearing up to begin construction on the 1,049', 92-story, Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF)-designed One Bayfront Plaza in 2019. Demolition of an existing office building on the current site is scheduled for the first half of 2019. The tower will reportedly be grandfathered into old Miami zoning codes, allowing Florida East Coast Realty to avoid the 30,000 SF floorplate limit under Miami 21 and build at 36,000 SF floorplates, making the office space more attractive compared to other offerings on the market. The 1,049' design by KPF maximized the height approved by the FAA. One Bayfront Plaza will feature 902 apartments, 200 hotel rooms, 532,000 SF of Class A Office Space, 103,959 SF of retail, pedestrian bridge to the metromover and 1,055 parking spaces. The residences and hotel will feature a sky recreation deck which will have 2 pools, one being for residents and one for hotel guests. There will also be another amenity deck on the 40th floor. One Bayfront Plaza is expected to be delivered in mid to late 2022.
