🧵I've started a website! 🌐

As long as I can remember, sharing development updates on X felt limiting. Word/image limits and other quirks held me back.

Although X premium could solve some issues, it can't match the freedom of a blog (in bio).

Q&A below for transparency! ⬇️

@AaronDeMayo I do not sorry

With the underdeck park funding killed by the big beautiful bill, I guess portions of the park are now being sacrificed for other developments.

Below is renderings of the newly planned Arsht Center garage.

I wonder if more portions will be sacrificed, let's see as time goes on

[Floridian Development @FloridianDev]

@M___Morgenstern Portions of the green space/plaza will instead be used for the garage. The rest of the space for the underdeck is still planned for green space, however plans are in limbo due to funding cuts from the government a while back.

[Floridian Development @FloridianDev]

@stocktrade2day Unfortunately news like this is inherently political, from the funding cuts I reported on about a year ago, to local leaders and their choice to replan county-owned land. However, this account is not political and I try to not touch too much on county-level politics.

Below is a link to a pretty cool map showing live local act projects proposed or under construction in Florida.

It's missing quite a few projects, but it's still pretty cool to look around.

The two towers will rise 32 floors, or 362 FT to the roof. They will be the latest towers in an area with blossoming growth.

A demolition permit has also been filed on-site.

The development will proceed in phases.

Just across the street, the developer is also proposing 3 separate multifamily buildings under the Live Local Act (to be revealed later).

The development is awaiting approval by the Planning Commission. Staff has recommended approval.

@RealMikeSchall I didn't expect a milquetoast statement to be so controversial 🤣

[Floridian Development @FloridianDev]

The lack of funding for mass transit in South Florida is a joke. This region will never reach its full potential until they get serious.

[Floridian Development @FloridianDev]

On the ground floor will be 7,550 SF of retail space, and 236 parking spaces in the podium.

The development is moving forward administratively, meaning no public hearings can delay the project.

🧵120 S Dixie Highway: West Palm Beach

Florida's tallest mass timber building has been proposed in West Palm Beach, set to rise 25 floors.

The development will feature 366 units, of which 40% are workforce (aka 148 units) due to the Live Local Act.

@JbcTrader @NeverFearTheFal The dedicated taxes for roads exist because of usage. If you under invest in transit there's no incentive for funding. If you invest, build ridership, then the same tax base follows. You're using the absence of investment as an argument against investing

[Floridian Development @FloridianDev]

@JbcTrader @NeverFearTheFal Those taxes do help but they actually don't cover the whole cost. Since 2008 congress has transferred over $275 billion in taxpayer money to cover shortfalls because fuel tax revenues and other taxes couldn't cover the entire cost. Also your logic is circular-

[Floridian Development @FloridianDev]

@JbcTrader @NeverFearTheFal Roads do not pay for themselves except if you mean the investment they spur. That is the exact same case for public transit. If you want less traffic when you drive then investing in transit to take cars off the road is a no brainer. This shouldn't be controversial.

[Floridian Development @FloridianDev]

@digthecataclysm @NeverFearTheFal @JbcTrader That's not to say we shouldn't strive for better safety on public transit

[Floridian Development @FloridianDev]

@digthecataclysm @NeverFearTheFal @JbcTrader Or you can get killed by a drunk driver, someone texting, or any other scenario 🤷‍♂️
