Floridian Development

🧵I've started a website! 🌐 As long as I can remember, sharing development updates on X felt limiting. Word/image limits and other quirks held me back. Although X premium could solve some issues, it can't match the freedom of a blog (in bio). Q&A below for transparency! ⬇️

Some cool renderings from SmartPixel of Miami's 2nd supertall, Delano Residences:

@RealMikeSchall I didn't expect a milquetoast statement to be so controversial 🤣

@FloridianDev “Ugh this is awful” - People in this thread

The lack of funding for mass transit in South Florida is a joke. This region will never reach its full potential until they get serious.

On the ground floor will be 7,550 SF of retail space, and 236 parking spaces in the podium. The development is moving forward administratively, meaning no public hearings can delay the project. Read more on the Floridian Development website

🧵120 S Dixie Highway: West Palm Beach Florida's tallest mass timber building has been proposed in West Palm Beach, set to rise 25 floors. The development will feature 366 units, of which 40% are workforce (aka 148 units) due to the Live Local Act. 📜Carlo Ratti Associati

@JbcTrader @NeverFearTheFal The dedicated taxes for roads exist because of usage. If you under invest in transit there's no incentive for funding. If you invest, build ridership, then the same tax base follows. You're using the absence of investment as an argument against investing

@JbcTrader @NeverFearTheFal Those taxes do help but they actually don't cover the whole cost. Since 2008 congress has transferred over $275 billion in taxpayer money to cover shortfalls because fuel tax revenues and other taxes couldn't cover the entire cost. Also your logic is circular-

@JbcTrader @NeverFearTheFal Roads do not pay for themselves except if you mean the investment they spur. That is the exact same case for public transit. If you want less traffic when you drive then investing in transit to take cars off the road is a no brainer. This shouldn't be controversial.

@NeverFearTheFal @FloridianDev Roads more than pay for themselves. Your politician owners tell you that they don't because they want to hide the fact that over 25% of the revenue created by motorists are spent on other projects like mass transit.

@digthecataclysm @NeverFearTheFal @JbcTrader That's not to say we shouldn't strive for better safety on public transit

@digthecataclysm @NeverFearTheFal @JbcTrader Or you can get killed by a drunk driver, someone texting, or any other scenario 🤷‍♂️

@BillBishopKHOU I'm sorry temporary?? lol

World Cup preps in East Downtown TxDOT contractors are paving the paths to the 2026 FIFA World Cup Fan Festival. Pictured here, a new temporary sidewalk and sod added along St. Emanuel between Preston and Texas....and a temporary sidewalk and ramp at St. Emanuel and Capitol St.

there will likely be multiple variances, including one for height boosts from the 65-ft currently allowed on-site. The venue is planned to seat 4,300 and generate $80 million annually and create more than 400 jobs. Kettler and Darryl Shaw is leading the development.

The applicant said they exhausted all reasonable preservation and redesign options, citing code issues. However, commissioners argued there wasn't enough evidence, and urged for a redesign. Because Ybor City faces strict zoning regulations, if the project is redesigned-

Live Nation (Update): Tampa A Live Nation venue planned in Ybor City's GasWorx neighborhood hit its first setback this week. Tampa's Barrio Latino Commission reviewed both the proposed venue & a variance for a grand oak removal. The removal of the oak was the point of dispute.

@TODNewsHub @BoredElonMusk Mooore!!!

@BoredElonMusk MORE!

There is no reason that downtown LA shouldn't look like this.

The building will rise 11 stories or 153 FT. Juneau Construction is serving as the general contractor while Niles Boston Associates is the architect. Completion is targeted in Fall 2028 ahead of the beginning of the semester. Read more on the Floridian Development website!

110 South Boulevard: Tampa UTampa and RISE RE has filed construction permits to construct the University of Tampa's largest dormitory hall ever. The 238-unit project will have 833 beds, targeting 1st & 2nd-year students. There will be 2,040 SF for dining & 46 parking spots.

The tower is being designed by Foster + Partners and co-developed by Related Companies. Read more on the Floridian Development website in the bio.

It aims to tax luxury homes not used as primary residents, but has spurred threats by Ken Griffin to cut investment in NYC for Miami. This movement is a result of that, with office space expanding by nearly 150,000 SF. Crews are currently working on the tower's foundation. 4/5

🧵Citadel’s Miami HQ Loses Supertall Status in Shift to Nearly All Office Space Updated plans for Citadel's New HQ have been revealed today, and multiple changes have been made. For one, office space in the tower expanded from 1.485m SF to 1.642m SF, killing hotel space. 1/5
