And Sunny Isles Beach keeps building, not for people only, for your car too. The Porsche Tower is 60 stories. Sunny Isles Beach just approved another behemoth. I think the County should crack down on Sunny Isles Beach. They are out of control with their high rises. I rate it the worst place to live for traffic because they cause it everywhere around them, including inside the buildings themselves.
I don't blame The Dezer's they just give the people what they want. I blame the county and state for not being stern with the Mayor and Commissioners. Jail could be an option. They approved yet another 60 story tower, it is denser, I think 300 units. This one is a joint venture with Armani. The units must come with enormous closets and they will be ready for filling by 2018.
Infill on the coast is ridiculous. I don't know that they can get insurance in these buildings. Maybe the people don't care? But once on the street, they have two lanes to speed around on. They will glut up the traffic in Miami Beach that is for sure.

| Sunny Isles Beach. Golden Beach just North of it has no high rises. Sunny Isles Beach is 1.4 square miles with over 20,000 people before the new building boom. They have very little in the way of shopping. I bet everyone shops on Amazon. |

It is impossible to block sound in a concrete building, which is why ever building since the 1960s had carpet. Dezer should be sued if the owners catch impact noise in time. Owners are going to want to ASTM 1007 that building before taking possession. Building departments don't enforce noise codes. My bet is no Americans who know about impact noise live in that building.
So do you think someone of this echelon feels shame or empathy? Charity is for the tax write off and the gala. Life is the game of give me more while I crush you.
If you look the first picture it looks as though there is a sound proof garage door that is open in the photo. They have barriers so you can't drive your car to the terrace or into your condo. I think this is hype. The garage is just built attached to the building. The condo's themselves must have a separate concrete wall.
Carbon monoxide poisoning occurs after enough inhalation of carbon monoxide ... usually by deliberately inhaling the exhaust fumes of a running car engine.
I wonder how that issue is being dealt with? When the troubled rich want to off themselves, now they can take down their neighbors?
Think of all of the hundreds of dollars saved by not having to pay the minimum wage valet.
If you look at the plans for some of these units you will see the bedrooms are next to the elevator shaft and the air handler is in the garage. You never want an air handler in the garage and closets are always supposed to go next to an elevator shaft. The rubble of a Ferrari exhaust has never been tested in a multifamily unit. I'd definitely test the garage floor to the living room below using ASTM 1007 I'd have an engineer from out of state do the test. I'm not sure if the glass in the garage is laminated so the entire wall will transmit sound. Not sure how the building department treats glass as a fire wall. It must be rated for an hour or more.
As if no one has an extra glass of champaign and then drives home. As if no one has an angry fight in the car and does something stupid like hitting the gas instead of the brakes. As if no one has recently driven into storefronts...
I hope the cars enjoy the view from their apartments. Unfortunately, the already overly congested street traffic will continue to increase driving times for everyone as more high rise construction is in the pipeline.
What if you drive a chevy? What an eyesore.
At least that tower is not high occupancy. There are not many cars being added to the traffic from that project. It is the condo towers that add 500 units (which equals at last 1000 new cars to the area) that are making the traffic insane
This barrier island devepment is happening because rick Scott cut the balls off the growth management agency, the Department of Community Affairs.
You would think Sunny Isles Beach would put a shorter Tower right next to Golden Beach. It is very unneighborly of them and casts a tall shadow over golden Beach.
No development westward, and no development to the east!
I don't think Rick Scott or any of our other elected officials were around for Andrew. Wilma gave a glancing blow to Brickell and it was really a nightmare. Perhaps this is the year Mother Nature slaps hubris right upside its smug face. However, Walter Mercado is telling me it will be 2018 as she wants to really make a statement.
Genius, we may disagree on hundreds of topics but I still think better of you than this post. I understand, it bothers you some people decide to burn money on what you consider to be frivolity. I understand and sympathize but your post is complete nonsense. First, people who own units at the Porsche tower contribute almost nothing to traffic. The owners almost certainly have this as their second, third or fourth pied-à-terre. On top of that, most of them will never see west of Miami International. Secondly, these terrible owners pay more in County taxes in two years than most families will pay in their life time while consuming next to no services. Lastly, you held golden beach up as some sort of ideal model...that's ridiculous and what actually prompted me to respond. Those owners have a "quasi" private beach behind their ultra high end homes and the town is home to the most notorious speed traps in the State. I may not like Sunny Isles either (just for the record) but I'd take it in a heart beat compared to Golden Beach.
For the anon above, Rick Scott (aka the boogeyman) is not responsible. DCA has never had a say on zoning just land use, which this land has been tagged ultra high density for 40+ years.
You might not believe Michele Bachman, but judging by what is going on in Miami with over-the-top development, fed by funny money, the end is near.
Real truth read my post again because you completely misunderstood it. I was not saying this building had traffic I was saying it was about cars with views and that they could have traffic jams inside the building. It was supposed to be amusing. My anger was directed towards the government that was allowing the density. For your information, the Department of Community Affairs was cracking down on coastal development in hurricane zones. You don't find it ironic that cars have better views than some people in Miami? You just don't seem to understand how to read my posts, they aren't completely serious they make fun of the absurdity of what we do --- read it again. Yes i know most of the people in Sunny Isles are South American and on the west side Russian.. I was not holding up Golden Beach as an ideal I was pointing out that we go from giant 60 story high-rises to one-story houses. Is there no middle? It looks totally ridiculous and I think it rude to do to a neighbor.
Finally the people in Sunny Isles don't just stay in their condos --- although they use few services for the taxes they pay, they are out and about on the roads creating traffic. Finally, if I want to get a traffic ticket I go to Bal Harbour not Golden Beach, much easier there to pick up speed.
Let's get a solution to Dade's grid lock and leave the Porsches
to the very rich. Declare A MORATORIUM ON ANY MORE CONSTRUCTION-- 5 years until 2 lanes are made 4 or better. People love their cars and will not ride the rail or trolley.They are addicted to 4 wheels of any car make.
Genius, I sincerely didn't catch the satire and amusement. Judging by the comments you've riled up on this thread, most others didn't either. It is sad that Porsches and Ferraris will have better access to water views than most people but that's life and it's no different in every major city and throughout history. These posts although viewed differently through the lense of satire just fuel the flame of extreme views. One anon insisted on a building moratorium across the board, it's that type of idiotic extreme ideology that never advances a conversation on "sustainable" growth. People complain about urban sprawl and destruction of wetlands while also complaining about redevelopment and density in existing areas. We will continue to grow, that is not in question, how we do it should be. Concessions should be made on both sides.
Same goes for climate change, let's start shifting part of the conversation to solutions (yes, they do and will exist) not just prevention (most of the damage is already done regardless). The majority of this country believes it's happening and wants to do something about it, regardless of right or left.
