SHVO has secured the approval of the Miami Beach Planning Board for the construction of The Alton, a six-story luxury office building in Miami Beach, Fla.

Designed by Pritzker Laureate Lord Norman Foster and the team at Foster + Partners, in collaboration with local architect Kobi Karp, the 203,722-square-foot project is slated to include 170,000 square feet of rentable office space, 17,000 square feet of ground-floor retail as well as five luxury residences.

Developers will build The Alton to LEED Gold standards, with 300 feet of Alton Road exposure as well as terraced outdoor rooms and native landscapes with inspiration from the climate and vegetation of Florida. Located at 1656-1680 Alton Road, the project will be less than a mile southwest of the Miami Beach Botanical Garden and roughly half a mile west of the City Center.

In October, SHVO will present its project to Miami Beach’s Design Review Board. If approved, The Alton is expected to break ground in early 2024.

SHVO is developing two additional Class A office properties in Miami Beach, in collaboration with architects Peter Marino and Foster + Partners. These include the revitalization of 407 Lincoln Road and One Soundscape Park. Adding the restoration and development of The Raleigh to the list of local projects, SHVO is investing more than $2 billion in Miami Beach, in partnership with Deutsche Finance America.
