Infinity Collective's revised plan for 1680 Alton Road in Miami Beach keeps a 14-story building but cuts the apartment count from 184 to 142, pending approvals from two city review boards.
What changed in the revised 1680 Alton Road plan?
Infinity Collective revised its proposal for 1680 Alton Road by reducing the number of residences from 184 to 142 while preserving the 14-story height. The mixed-use building still combines apartments with ground-level retail, office space and structured parking, making the revision a cut to housing density rather than a redesign of the tower's overall massing.
- Residences drop from 184 to 142, a reduction of 42 units.
- Building height stays at 14 stories.
- Retail and office space remain part of the program.
- Parking totals 356 spaces.
Where is the 1680 Alton Road site and what is planned there?
The 1.38-acre site at 1680 Alton Road sits in Miami Beach near Lincoln Road, one of the city's busiest pedestrian and retail corridors. Infinity Collective plans a single mixed-use tower there that blends housing with commercial uses, aiming to add residents and workers close to the shopping and dining district.
- Lot size: 1.38 acres.
- Location: Alton Road, adjacent to Lincoln Road.
- Uses: residential, retail and office.
- Developer: Infinity Collective.
What approvals does the project still need?
The project still needs sign-off from two Miami Beach bodies: the Planning Board and the Design Review Board. Infinity Collective must win both approvals before the tower can advance, and securing them could clear the way for construction to begin in early 2027, according to the reporting on the project.
- Planning Board review is required.
- Design Review Board review is required.
- Both approvals are needed before construction can start.
Why does the unit reduction matter for Miami Beach?
The cut of 42 apartments reduces the project's residential density at a site that is already a heavily trafficked part of Miami Beach. Fewer units can ease pressure on traffic and services, but they also trim the amount of new housing the tower would deliver. The 356 parking spaces remain a central feature of the revised plan.
