Miami-based Adler Group proposed a 36-story residential tower, designed by Nichols Architects on a Downtown Miami site that was once slated to be new offices for the city of Miami.

The 345-unit project, called Nexus 1B in the proposal, is planned for a vacant site at 230 Southwest Third St. along the Miami River. Adler had originally agreed to build a new administration office on the site as part of a deal with the city, but Miami officials have instead opted for a build-to-suit office building on a site near Inter Miami’s planned soccer stadium.

Nexus 1B, which will go before Miami’s Urban Development Review Board on Nov. 15, is adjacent to Miami Riverside Center, the city’s administration building, and Modera Riverside, a 428-apartment building being built by Adler and Boca Raton-based Mill Creek Residential, and designed by Nichols Architects.

Nexus includes a small retail section on its ground floor, sitting below an eight-story, 393-space parking garage that would have a mural on its south and east facade. An amenity deck on the ninth floor would include a coworking space, a game room and a fitness center.

Residential units starting on the 10th floor would range from studios to three-bedroom units, according to the site plan. The rooftop would include a pool deck and social room. A letter submitted with the proposal doesn’t indicate whether the units would be apartments or condos.

Nexus was designed by Coral Gables-based Nichols Architects with landscape design from Witkin Hults, according to planning documents. Adler didn’t respond to Bisnow’s request for comment.
