Developer Plans Luxury Office Building in Miami’s Design District

March 10, 2022

As companies and tenants flock to Miami, the demand for office space is increasing. Craig Robins, a Miami Developer is looking to build his first Class A office building in Miami’s Design District. Partnering with Miami Design District Associates, Robins recently revealed plans for a 15 story building at 30 Northeast 39th Street, the Ursa.

The building is anticipated to feature 180,000 square feet of office space spanning over 10 floors. There will be retail space on the ground floor and a rooftop deck that will only be available for tenants of the building.

According to Robins, “We are thrilled to be bringing the Ursa to the Miami Design District. integrating state-of-the-art workspaces into the neighborhood has always been a part of our plan. People want to work in centers of creativity, culture, and commerce; and the district really provides the type of environment where innovation can take flight.”

Arquitectonica is responsible for the design of the tower with New York artist, Daniel Arsham, designing the furniture and the public art for the retail spaces.

From the renderings, the Ursa appears to have a lot of outdoor space with lush greenery on the rooftop as well as on varying terraces. The floor-to-ceiling windows provide tenants with views of the Miami Design District. On-site, the building will be fully integrated with the most up-to-date technology as well as 24/7 security and property management services.

The Miami Design District Associates already owns 1+ million square feet of commercial space in the Miami Design District.

Miami-Dade County has already proved the site for utilities for the Ursa and the county records show an application for the demolition permit. The property was purchased in 1995 for $680,00 and is expected to be completed in fall 2024.
