[**River Village To Be Built In Three Phases, With Rafael Viñoly Designing The First**](http://www.thenextmiami.com/index.php/world-renowned-architect-rafael-vinoly-designing-first-of-three-towers-at-downtowns-miami-river-village/) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/3/0/30c383d7589f4de22e12f188b907e7a10584a8d6.jpeg) Rafael Viñoly is the architect designing the ultra-luxury 60-story condo tower in downtown Miami that was revealed last week. The tower is being built by KAR Properties as part of Miami River Village, a three-tower project planned next to the Ivy, Wind and Mint condos on the Miami River. According to company documents, the five acre property is zoned for up to 4 million square feet. At 60-stories, the first tower will include 1 million square feet, of which about 600,000 square feet will be sellable. High-end retail, restaurants, and ‘interactive components’ will also be built as part of the first phase. Phase 2 of the project calls for a 50-story tower with a 150-room boutique business oriented hotel, along with 300 branded luxury condos on the upper floors. In the the third phase of the project, a luxury multi-family apartment tower will be built. The third phase is still in the planning stages. Viñoly was born in Uruguay and has designed projects throughout the world, including the Tokyo International Forum and 432 Park Avenue in New York. His 20 Fenchurch Street project in London was recently criticized by the Guardian as being ‘bloated, inelegant, and thuggish.’ London-based Gardiner & Theobald has been hired by KAR as the project manager for Miami River Village. The firm has offices in Miami Beach, where they are overseeing construction at Faena District. KAR is an affiliate of AlphaTerra Partners, an investment firm headquartered in New York. The company is co-managed by Shahab Karmely, who will soon relocate from New York to Miami, and Brian Brille, who is based in Hong Kong. Brille is the former Chairman & President of Bank of America Merrill Lynch Asia Pacific in Hong Kong. ---

Miami is certainly getting a major skyline, but this is kind of ugly, no? ---

I think for now this isn’t the final product. While its a working concept, and a serious proposal, it will be tweaked as it goes through the design phase. To be honest, this is way better than some of the bland proposals in Miami. And it gets a lot of them too. Usually in the form of condos that all share a similar white facade with endless balconies and a touch of green. ☹ There are some amazing projects in Sunny Isles going up or planned. Now that area has amazing towers and designs, but theres quite a few that are good for Brickell and the Edgewater neighborhoods. Panorama Tower will be nice. Currently slated to be the tallest. But other projects will eclipse it in time due. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/4/9/49de268cf8969863d59353bf17f5c983fa1deda6.jpeg) But in terms of 400 S. Miami Ave, I like the idea of the two towers side by side interlocking at the top with a waterfall at the base. Lets keep the fingers crossed that they don’t botch it up. Nice in theory, but sometimes the reality is unsettling. ---

That one much better! And at the very least, the skyline will be filling out so dramatically that anything too unsightly will likely be hidden in Miami’s newfound concrete jungle. 😄 ---

Yea for pm just click the avatar of a user, and click message. The forum allows for many things such as full image posting (so no more using flickr or imgur), video posting, and so on. Search feature is a quick way to find projects. Just type in keywords. Also, categories for just focusing on certain cities.
