Now that the existing office building has been demolished at 1444 Biscayne Boulevard in the Miami Art District, two tower crane permits have been submitted to begin bringing Casa Bella by B&B Italia out of the ground. The permits were submitted on August 23, according to The Next Miami.
In the permits, it is specified that one crane will reach a height of 674 feet above sea level and the will reach 714 feet above sea level. When completed, Casa Bella will reach 731 feet into the skyline. Work should take just under two years.

About Casa Bella
With 312 total residences distributed among 57 floors, Casa Bella by B&B Italia was designed by Arquitectonica and is being developed in a partnership between Related Group and ALTA Developers. All of the companies are based locally and famous for their contributions to the Miami skyline.
The project is located at 1444 Biscayne Boulevard, directly adjacent to Genting’s waterfront mega-site that is under consideration now for over $1 billion. Also within walking distance is the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing arts, the Miami Ballet and the Ziff Opera House. Just on the other side of the Miami Signature Bridge (that will be completed around the same time as Casa Bella), you will find the Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science and the Perez Art Museum… hence the name “Miami Arts and Entertainment District”.
