✨ What an evening. 🪑💬

Last night, we pulled up our chairs and were inspired.

Our Veranda Chats brought together three incredible authors — Rosa Lowinger of RLA, Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk, FAIA of DPZ CoDesign, and Vanessa Smith-Torres, AIA of Perkins&Will — for a conversation that was as warm and rich as the room itself.

Thank you to every person who showed up and shared a piece of the evening with us.

A thank you to our generous sponsors who make these moments possible:

DPZ CoDesign
The Bierman Group
Armstrong World Industries
Bildworx Design

Until next time — connect, share, inspire. 🌿

We are incredibly proud to celebrate one of our very own — Zamorah Barley, an AIM and BAM @bam.miami student at Design and Architecture Senior High @dashschool , who has been awarded a Full Scholarship to Cornell University's City Visionaries Summer Program — a $13,000 value with no tuition due!

This five-week program, hosted by Cornell's prestigious College of Architecture, Art, and Planning (AAP) in New York City, gives high school students the opportunity to explore architecture, urban design, and the future of cities through real-world challenges and hands-on design studios.

Zamorah's achievement is a testament to her talent, dedication, and the power of community.

AIA Miami is honored to have played a role in her journey through the AIM and BAM programs, and we cannot wait to see everything she builds next.

Designing today. Building tomorrow. 🏙️

Soleste on the Bay is a 28-story mixed-use tower in the final stages of construction in North Miami Beach, located in close proximity to Oleta River State Park. Developed by The Estates Companies, the project is a sister development to the nearby 23-story mixed-use property to the north.

The building comprises 363 residential units and more than 14,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space along Biscayne Boulevard. A comprehensive amenity program includes two swimming pools, a spinning studio and game room, a 2,400+ SF fitness center, a 1,400+ SF spa, a 1,400 SF bar and lounge, and over 10,600 SF of recreation space across the 9th-floor deck and rooftop. The structure features a 21-story tower above an 8-story podium with a parking garage accommodating over 600 spaces. Project completion is anticipated in summer 2026.

South Florida’s development landscape is being res

South Florida’s development landscape is being reshaped by the realities of extreme weather, from rising temperatures and flood risk to escalating insurance costs. In this environment, resilience has emerged as a core economic driver - fundamentally influencing how projects are designed, financed, and evaluated.

Developers are increasingly viewing resilient, high-performance buildings not just as a sustainability measure, but as a capital strategy that strengthens asset durability, supports long-term performance, and aligns with evolving investor expectations.
Resilience-driven strategies can enhance operational efficiency, reduce energy demand, lower operating costs, and help stabilize insurance exposure - ultimately positioning assets for stronger financial performance and market competitiveness.

This forum explores how resilience is shaping the next generation of South Florida real estate, reframing building performance through the lens of value creation, risk mitigation, and long-term asset optimization.
