Miami Beach has issued a phased construction permit valued at $97 million for the Shore Club Private Collection, an oceanfront redevelopment at 1901 Collins Avenue.
Covering approximately 481,200 square feet, the permit was the largest among South Florida’s recently reported construction filings.
Witkoff and Monroe Capital are redeveloping the roughly three-acre property into a luxury destination combining private residences, hotel accommodations and restored historic architecture. The plans include a new 20-story oceanfront tower, the rehabilitation of the eight-story Cromwell House and a single-family beach residence surrounded by landscaped grounds.
The project’s residential collection is expected to include approximately 49 homes, while the hospitality component will operate under the Auberge Resorts Collection brand. Robert A.M. Stern Architects is leading the design, with Kobi Karp Architecture and Interior Design serving as the project’s executive architect.
Construction activity was already underway before the latest permit was issued. The development team completed the tower’s concrete foundation in November 2025 following an extensive pour involving approximately 1,100 cubic yards of concrete. The new phased permit allows the project to progress further into its construction schedule.
The redevelopment is backed by a $430 million construction loan provided by J.P. Morgan in 2023. At the time, the financing was reported as one of South Florida’s largest residential construction loans, reflecting substantial lender confidence in the project and Miami Beach’s ultra-luxury market.
Another significant permit issued during the same reporting period was connected to Related Group’s Gallery at Lummus development near downtown Miami. That approximately $74.5 million filing covers a mixed-income apartment project planned with hundreds of residences and ground-floor retail space.
Together, the permits show that major South Florida developments continue moving from planning and financing into active construction. The activity spans both ends of the housing market—from high-end oceanfront residences to mixed-income and workforce-oriented apartments—and demonstrates sustained developer interest in Miami-Dade County.
