Crescent Heights seeks approval for 551 condos in South Beach

Crescent Heights will ask Miami Beach’s Design Review Board on Tuesday to approve plans for 551 condos and retail space at the gateway to South Beach along Alton Road.

The Waves project would be on the site of the former South Shore Hospital, a nonprofit that closed nearly a decade ago and sold its property to the Miami Beach developer. The application is divided into two parts.

On the 500, 600 and 700 block on Alton Road, the developer would build 485 condos, 73,671 square feet of retail space and 689 parking spaces, both above and below ground. It would construct buildings of five and seven stories and extensively renovate the 10-story former hospital tower.

On the other side of the block, the 700 block of West Avenue, Crescent Heights would construct a six-story building with 66 condos, a 13,000-square-foot lobby with a spa and gym, and 350 parking spaces both above and below ground. The building would also have a rooftop pool deck.
