North Miami Beach gave final approval for a Turkish developer to build a 19-story, mixed-use multifamily tower.
Skygarden at 16900 Northeast 19th Avenue will be 224-feet tall and include 341 apartments, 12,635 square feet of retail space, 405 parking spaces, a recreational deck with a pool and garden on the sixth floor, a rooftop terrace, and public art.
Developer Celal Ozkan, chairman of Istanbul-based CEO Contract, told commissioners that he wants to break ground in September and complete the project by August 2023. Ozkan also said he wants to make Skygarden the first of several projects he hopes to build in the city, and other parts of the nation. And he said he is moving his company’s headquarters to North Miami Beach.
