Just one week after Dezer Development won approval from the North Miami Beach City Commission to redevelop the Intracoastal Mall into a mixed-use project named Uptown Harbour, the Commission has called for a revote without a scheduled date. The issue is tied to two ordinances, including zoning amendments and a 30-year development agreement, as well as two commissioners being absent from the initial vote which was decided with three yes and two no votes. The project is also still pending approval from the Florida Department of Transportation. The Intracoastal Mall is located at 3501 Sunny Isles Blvd. on a 29.1-acre site. The traditional retail center currently features 234,026 square feet of retail and 33,260 square feet of office.
Uptown Harbour would feature condos, retail, offices and hotels complete with a waterfront promenade with restaurants and retailers. When complete, the mixed-use development would bring over 2,000 residential units, which would be split between 1,750 for-sale condos spread across five towers, 200 rental apartments and 50 townhomes. Uptown Harbor would also feature 250 hotel rooms, 375,000 square feet of retail, and 200,000 square feet of office to the area. Dezer Development would also fund public improvements including building a police department, fire station, community center, a 6-acre park and infrastructure as part of the proposal. Towers would have a maximum height of 40-stories. Uptown Harbor is designed by Zyscovich Architects.
