Miami Starlite Piles In 517 Units With a Pool and Coworking Deck

A 39-story tower at 128 Southwest 7th Street has begun piling. Its amenity programme lists coworking space, a fitness centre and multiple pools, and no page publishes a delivery date.

A 39-story residential tower at 128 Southwest 7th Street has entered foundation work. Suffolk Construction confirmed a January 2026 groundbreaking. Crews completed test piles, started production piles and installed permanent and temporary wells.

The tower carries 517 residential units across roughly 800,000 square feet. Focus and Group Fox Management develop it. Gensler is the architect. No page publishes a delivery date.

What the amenity floor lists

The development carries roughly 16,000 square feet of indoor amenities. The list runs to coworking space, a lobby, a fitness centre, pet amenities, multiple pools and outdoor lounges. Renderings show a podium deck with a resort-style pool, planting and shaded seating.

That list matches the product set a day-use operator sells by the hour: a desk, a gym floor, a pool lane.

No page says whether the deck opens beyond residents. That question decides whether the tower adds a competitor on the block or a resident-only asset.

The arithmetic on two published counts

Eight hundred thousand square feet divided by 517 units returns about 1,547 gross square feet a unit. Sixteen thousand square feet of indoor amenity divided by 517 returns about 31 square feet a unit.

Both figures divide two numbers the report prints.

The delivery date is unpublished

A 517-unit delivery changes the supply count in Brickell on the day it opens. A delivery three years out changes this quarter pricing very little.

The report carries no completion year, no phasing plan, no unit mix and no rents. It carries no cost, loan or contract value.

The coverage calls the project residential and multifamily. It never says rental and never says condominium.

Who builds it

Suffolk holds the construction contract. Keller has begun pile work. Langan Engineering & Environmental Services is geotechnical engineer. Fenagh Engineering and Testing handles materials testing, threshold and special inspections.

Where the site sits

The address sits on the western edge of Brickell near the Miami River corridor. The report places the project among several large residential developments pushing west, where low-rise properties give way to taller mixed-use construction.

It names none of the others and carries no parcel description.

What an operator holds

Three dated facts: a January 2026 groundbreaking, piling under way, 517 units. One open field: the delivery date.

For a Brickell operator pricing daytime inventory, the amenity floor is the part to watch. A resident-only pool and gym leaves the day-use market where it stands. A deck open to the public adds supply at a second address on the same blocks.
