The developer of Wynwood Urby has signed a utilities deal and applied for a demolition permit.

According to the August 25 utilities deal for water and sewer service from Miami-Dade County, Wynwood Urby will include:

A demolition permit to clear the site was applied for in July, city records show.

Urby is a joint venture between David Barry and Brookfield Properties.

Amsterdam’s Concrete is the design architect, with 5G Studio the architect of record.

Might think about burying power lines here

Is there a reason for why they wouldn’t bury these (aside from cost)? Wynwood has power lines everywhere and it looks terrible.

I noticed lately people are putting art on the wires

Because that comes from the city, not private developers. Miami doesn’t invest in it’s public like that (civic projects, libraries, beatification, transportation systems). The nice stuff is all private.

What about the UNDERLINE park and the planned park under the SIGNATURE BRIDGE?

Wasn’t the Underline entirely privately-funded?

Yes it’s all donation based to maintain with federal grant money in the mix to develop (the development is fully funded)

The Underline land is Miami-Dade County owned, and was not purchased by a Private entity. The funds raised to plan, design, and build came a many sources; some private, and some public.

The Underdeck has some City land, some County Land, some DOT controlled land, and some FECI controlled land. The funds used to plan, design, and build are coming from private and public sources.

No. The Underline was not “entirely privately-funded”.

Umm, no. The utility poles and privately-owned. Either the city or developer pick up costs.

??? Of course voters in Miami do invest in Civic projects,. Who the hell convinced you that “Miami doesn’t invest in it’s public”? Don’t believe anything else that person tells you.

Property owners are responsible for the power lines from the street to their connection, and FPL/Municipalities are responsible for them on the streets.

They need the powers lines for the new train station on 27 Street. It will be electric.

Costs are the only real reason.

One reason is that when it rains, underground lines become underwater lines. Another reason is that underground lines are more expensive to access and service.

Wynwood will be unrecognizable in five years time.

And it will be for the better.

Still wondering when it will get its first grocery store. With all these apartments opening up soon, it’s bound to happen sooner or later. And I understand Trader Joe’s and (soon) Whole Foods are in Midtown, but I believe Wynwood proper needs food options too.

Totally agreed if wynwood is gonna be a walkable neighborhood it needs a grocery

Are you saying that people don’t walk in the neighborhood right now?

He is saying “NEEDS” when he really means “WANTS”. They must have stopped teaching kids the difference at some point.

the airbnb guests/tiktokkers/onlyfans set that will rent out all of these units eat out or do the ubereats and dont need no stinkin grocery store…the regular permanent residents of miami leave in other neighborhoods nearby…let em walk their drunk asses to traders joes or get the prepacked groceries at target…

The Midtown development is in Wynwood. Calling them separate would be like calling MWC a separate neighborhood from Edgewater. “Greater” Midtown is Wynwood and Edgewater.

Midtown has been officially redefined as its own neighborhood.

buddy I pay extra taxes because im in midtown not wynwood

Midtown is Midtown. Downtown is Downtown. Wynwood is Wynwood. Edgewater is Edgewater.

By the way, I thought that the Midtown Community Development District’s budget was funded from bonds and parking facilities income…are there additional Property Taxes paid for owners in the Midtown CDD?

Are you serious? Edgewater and MWC are absolutely separate and I have never heard anyone consider them the same until now. Get a clue.

Oh please, anything but Publix

Why all the hate on Publix in here? Far as Ik it’s the only decent quality grocer.

Good, eastern wynwood needs the density.

🚨Melo is sigma and Chad do you really need to post the same comments everyday? We all know that you want taller buildings, no more empty lots, and everything build as fast as Melo. Man please!

he loves playing sim city but never builds the city economics

More overpriced shoebox living sans balconies for the suckers lol

Another unintelligent comment made by a member of the ignorant crowd.

airbnb for the mouth breathers..

They should get those power lines underground!!!

Does anyone know if Shelter and/or Beaker & Gray will be torn down for this development, or if it will just be built in the vacant lot to the left of Shelter?

It will be just beyond Shelter and B&G – the lot was already cleared, so those two establishments will remain!

“Urby,” LOL. So maybe “Lofty” doesn’t sound so bad?

Looks like a converted warehouse. Not good. Go back to the drawing board.

Trust me, the people who are going to rent units in this building doesn’t givashit about your opinions.

tust me the people renting units in this building will not live here either and we will see tiktok videos of airbnb guests filmed here…onlyfans too

Trust me, the people renting units in this building have and make more money than you.

Because this was the lot that was on the market and made business sense for them to buy.
