Downtown 5^th, a multifamily development in downtown Miami’s central business district, is one step closer to competition. Construction crews have topped off the project’s 52-story East Tower.  The West Tower is expected to be completed later this month.

It took 37 weeks from Downtown 5^th’s foundation pour in February to complete vertical construction of the first tower. The twin tower development comprises 1042 rental apartments and approximately 1161 m² (12,500 sf) of ground floor retail. Construction is expected to be completed in summer 2021.

“We are bullish on the long-term future of downtown Miami. Despite a global pandemic, we never stopped building for locals who want to live and work in the urban core,” said developer Carlos Melo, principal of Melo Group[2]. “Our strategy has always been to build for what the market demands, and we are seeing a continued need from the community for good quality, attainably priced apartments in a convenient, walkable location with access to public transit and nearby amenities.”

Units will feature expansive balconies with bay and city views, floor-to-ceiling sliding doors, energy-efficient tinted glass, European-style kitchen and bathroom cabinetry, granite countertops, double door refrigerators, stainless steel appliances, spacious living and dining rooms, ceramic tile and laminated wood flooring, and full-size washer and dryers. Building amenities will include three swimming pools, a state-of-the-art fitness center, social room, game room, and café.
