The developer of predominantly bland apartment buildings in Edgewater and Downtown Miami, as well as a few not-so-bland newer projects, has installed an eight foot high polished stainless steel sculpture of a violin by artist Helidon Xhixha in front of his recently completed Melody Tower. There will be an official unveiling tomorrow so Mayor Regalado can give Melo a key to the city.
If you haven't figured it out by now, Melo's Melody Tower is located across the street from the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts. Unfortunately the Melos didn't draw any deeper creative inspiration from the Arsht for their Melody Tower beyond the violin and its name, because the building itself is little more than a white box with balconies and marginal decoration, but hey, a giant, eight foot tall violin is a giant eight foot tall violin, and Miami hasn't had one of those before.
