On July 20, 2022, Miami’s Urban Development Review Board will consider proposals for M Tower, a 57-story mixed-use building planned for 56 Southwest 1st Street in Downtown Miami near the City’s Government Center. The applicants, Downtown 1st Street LLC, an affiliate of New York-based Lions Group NYC, and Miami-based Fortis Design + Build are proposing to improve the 1.046-acre property with a nearly 600-foot-tall, 906,307-square-foot mixed-use development consisting of a public parking garage for 694 vehicles and 10,531 square feet of ground floor commercial space, and a multifamily residential tower with 675 residential units. The project is designed by Nichols Architects with Naturalficial as the landscape architect, and Kimley-Horn is the civil engineer.

The latest renderings of M Tower depict the building from aerial and ground floor look-up perspectives, as well as some perspectives from the Interstate 95 ramp, revealing a major change to the design compared to earlier render. At ground level, the building enhances the streetscape with aluminum-framed window wall systems using laminated tinted glass, more specifically along Southwest 1st Street and 1st Avenue. The 8-story parking garage is screened from the public using a modular tensile fabric mesh with integrated art murals that are to be selected by the Miami Parking Authority.
