UPDATED, May 18, 9:35 p.m.: Continuum South Beach developer Ian Bruce Eichner acquired two waterfront sites from Bay Harbor Islands-based Taubco, with plans to build two condo projects.
Eichner’s Continuum Company paid $29.5 million for the land at 9201 and 9461 East Bay Harbor Drive, according to a press release. He’s planning to build two buildings with a combined 142 units with 34 boat slips on the sites. Eichner expects there will be a six-month to one-year lag before he begins on the second project.
The land sale, years in the making, “really puts me back in Miami,” Eichner said. He completed the Continuum South Beach towers in 2002 and 2008. The New York developer has also been searching for a site in downtown Miami and joined TSG Group on a planned project in Brickell.
A court has lifted a Temporary Restraining Order against
developer Bruce Eichner’s planned twin high-rise apartment project at 960
Franklin Avenue in Brooklyn.
Kosowitz attorneys Jennifer S. Recine and Edward E. Filusch announced today that they were successful in their appeal before Justice Katherine A. Levine of the New York Supreme Court to lift a TRO granted in March that prevented Eichner’s Continuum Company from moving ahead with the Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP) required to secure a rezoning for the site near Brooklyn Botanic Garden.
