40-Story Tower Overhanging Historic Church Submitted To FAA At 449 Feet – The Next Miami

In Edgewater, a 40-story apartment tower planned to overhang the historic Christian Scientist Church has just been submitted to the Federal Aviation Administration.

According to the September 8 FAA filing, the new tower is proposed to rise 445 feet above ground, or 449 feet above sea level.

Skylight Real Estate Partners, Panther Capital Management, and Arden Group purchased the property in December 2021, and announced plans to break ground on the tower in late 2022.

In August, an attorney registered on behalf of the developers to obtain Historic and Zoning approvals for the property.

Plans were previously submitted in 2019 for a 40-story tower with 364 rental apartments and a garage with between 389 and 421 spaces, to be built above the historic First Church of Christ, Scientist, built in 1926.

The property is in an opportunity zone.
