The following are pics of the Fontainebleau Hilton Resort Spine Connector that is now under construction.
These 2-storey high corridors will connect guests within the resort. The lower level is the service corridor and retail areas. The upper level is the main guest corridor.
The big canopy is the arrival area or port cochere and is the centerpiece of these corridors.


Bird's Eye View. This picture taken from the penthouse terrace of Tower 2 (37th Floor).



This is an interior view of the upper level connector leading to Tower II.



Exterior View of the Tower II Connector.
A lot of work still has to be done. The arched concrete silhuette by the concrete block wall (right side) represents the future connector for tower III.



Glass Eyebrow. These are beautiful architectural elements located at the arrival area. A partial view of the big canopy can be seen beyond.



Connector to Old Chateau This is the connection to the hotel.



Entrance to Tower 2 and 3 Connector.
One of the two entrances to the connectors from the arrival area. A partial glass eyebrow can be seen unglazed.

MIAMI BEACH ZONING RESTRICTIONS:

They flat out suck. This new height restriction is BS. Why not just limit it to everything north of SoFi? My god, with the Muranos, Icon, and Continuum (I & II), they could have filled in more lots with contemporary scrapers and made that district even that much more dramatic. That height restriction is BS. They did the same thing in Daytona Beach Shores this year. Apples and Oranges, I know. But DB Shores was the main part of Daytona with the most 20+ story condo towers. Now, they are a thing of the past.

These aren't in the newspapers yet but if you look at the Miami Beach government website they have design review boards...it's where the developers go to get their projects approved.

Look at Design Review Board and Historic Preservation Board.

New projects from the past few months that haven't been mentioned....

Saxony Hotel at 3201 Collins Avenue wants to restore and partially demolish the existing 12 story hotel and build a 19 story condo by its side.

Seville Hotel at 2901 Collins Avenue wants to put a rooftop addition on their 12 story hotel and also build a 21 story condo by its side.

With Price Tags Up to $15M Per Unit, Apogee Raises the Mark
By Marita Thomas
Last updated: November 29, 2004 01:34pm

MIAMI BEACH-Jorge Perez, CEO of Related Group of Florida, is collaborating with Miami-based Sieger Suarez Architectural Partnership to develop Apogee, a 67-unit condo designed to raise the price bar along South Beach’s exclusive “South of Fifth” neighborhood. Located on 2.7 acres at 800 South Pointe Dr. overlooking Government Cut, 22-story Apogee will occupy the last remaining waterfront parcel on the southern tip of South Beach.

There will be four units per floor, built out to buyers’ specs, and they are being marketed at prices ranging from $2 million to $15 million, in keeping with the building’s name, which translates to “pinnacle” and “apex.” A typical floor plan for an interior unit ranges from 1,030 sf to 3,100 sf and contains three bedrooms, three baths and a balcony. A representative plan for a more expensive exterior unit ranges from 2,400 sf to 4,150 sf and contains four bedroom, three baths and a balcony.

All units have a private elevator, full-size gourmet kitchen, and built-in, automated technology systems. Interiors are by the Yabu Pushelberg design team, which worked with Perez on One Miami in Downtown Miami and Beach Club in Hallandale and also designed interiors for the new Four Seasons Hotel in Tokyo and the Tiffany & Co. flagship store in New York. Sieger Suarez, which is known for floor-through designs that afford views in multiple directions, previously collaborated with Related Group on the neighboring Portofino Tower and Murano at Portofino, located, respectively, at 300 and 1000 South Pointe Dr.

Perez declined to disclose the estimated construction cost of Apogee. Marketing begins next month and details are accessible to buyers only through a password-protected website.
